sir, Amy, Good morning.It's a hell of a day at CA.
Sir. Yeah, we started Welcometo the show and kno good morning
day. Okay, all right,now that the good mornings are over.
(02:15):
Yesterday we talked a lot about howthe crazy stuff was having at Columbia with
a protests. The news has switchedall to UCLA. That's what's going on.
That is the hot spot of thecountry. I was listening to CNN
actually coming in this morning and itwas all about UCLA. Reporters are there
(02:36):
and it is just a cluster truckover there. And I'm one of the
things about these demonstrators is they areso clean and they are so careful about
where they place things. If youlook at that, a mound of garbage.
It's weird to see the campus looklike the rest of LA. Yeah,
(02:58):
all right, Blake Trully is there. He's been there for assuming most
of the night. Blake, goodmorning, Hey, good morning, Bill.
Yeah. I actually got here aboutthree am. We passed it off.
Michael Monks was here when this encampmentstarted being brought down. But right
now I am standing in a bigruin of trash in down tents as officers
(03:20):
start removing this encampment and this fieldwe were not able to access, as
you'll know, until officers broke downthat barrier. We are now standing where
the encampment once was, and itjust looks like trash and down tents.
Yeah. I mean, good forthe students on that one. Good for
the protesters now when you said youdidn't have access, we're the protesters and
(03:44):
I was about to say student protesters, but that's one of the big stories.
Are outside quote agitators and we don'tknow who they are, but that's
the stories going around that have joinedprotests. I guess on both sides,
primarily the pro Israeli side, iswhat the reports are. They didn't even
let press in you would think theywould let press in to do the story
(04:04):
on the encampments. Was that nothappening. Yeah, they were not letting
press in. There was actually somevideos of reporters trying to access the encampment.
They were not letting them in.And as you'll remember, they constructed
a barrier out of kind of metalevent fencing, plywood and just other pieces
of wood, if you will,and so they were not letting press on.
(04:26):
In fact, yesterday, to talkto one of the protesters, I
had to walk around the back ofthe encampment where they were making a couple
people available. And yesterday I hadasked them because it really did seem like
police were going to move and mobilize. Yesterday we had heard the mayor talking
about how she was meeting with teamslaw enforcement teams here at UCLA as well
(04:48):
as you know, regional law enforcementthat were going to help with uc police
disperse this camp. When you starthearing that kind of chatter, you have
to think you know they're going tomove in. I was told, yeah,
yesterday that some sheriffs inmate transport vehicleswere staged nearby. So with all
of that said, I had askedthis protester, you know, what is
(05:10):
your plan if law enforcement starts movingin and really you know, especially with
dispersal orders. And she had said, no, we are not leaving until
our demands are met, and thatthe school divests from Israeli companies. I
did ask for a specific list ofcompanies to that same protester, she says
that they're obvious and a lot ofpeople know them. I have yet to
see. I don't know. ButI was listening to you Blake yesterday on
(05:31):
with Cobalt and I. It waslike a Saturday Night Live skit. It
reminded me the audio that Blake wastraining playing sounded like that meme of that
Beauty Queen contestant who kept saying suchas such as the Americas. I mean,
it was really it. It wasreally bad, Blake. She was
(05:54):
twenty or something like that. Yeah, she was twenty years old. And
I mean, guys, the waythat this encampment formed, they really got
organized quickly, and it was almostlike they were making their pios available.
I mean they called the media liaisons. Now essentially a spokesperson, Yeah,
who decides that? Are they selfselected spokespeople? They come out and say,
(06:15):
yeah, I've raised my hand.I'll be the guy or I'll be
the gal who does this. Yeah, you know, Bill, I don't
know the voting system or if thisis a bureaucracy. Now, what I
will say is that yesterday or today, sorry, right now, you know,
while police have broken down the barriers, they've busted down this encampment.
It's down to its rubble. Thereare still a few protesters out in the
(06:39):
distance. I'm hoping to get closerafter this hit and speak to but there
are still some defiant protesters that arerefusing to leave, and it appears they
want to go down with the shipdespite And let me try to paint this
picture for you. If you lookat the encampment, and now that there's
daylight, it's a lot easier forme to kind of see where everything's at.
(06:59):
If you look to the south endof the camp, there are protesters
refusing to leave. They're they're chanting. They've got officers and riot here surrounding
them. It's a very small numberat this point. If you look to
the north end of this or yeah, the north end of the squad the
other end, what you end upseeing is a line of protesters. I
posted this to Twitter at Blake Trolleyif anybody wants to see it. A
(07:21):
line of protesters, hands zip tiedbehind their backs being escorted off campus here.
Yeah, but they're using that sideis apparently not enough to move them.
Yeah, badge of bonn Ord kindof thing. Uh oh, I'm
not telling you what to do,but I'm going to tell you what to
do. I have some questions foryou to ask, if you don't mind,
a couple of questions. One,you talk about divesting, as you
(07:43):
said, which companies, and thethat moron said it's obvious not to me
which companies. Start giving me alist of which companies they're not going to
come up with one. And there'sa you know, Bill, I'm a
failed business student myself. Yeah,okay, so ortunately you know. Okay,
So there's that. And the otherquestion I want to ask is what
(08:05):
happens if the school does divest andsells off its ownership of stocks of companies
that engage in engage in business withIsrael? Does that stop the demonstrations?
Are you going to now leave becauseyou got your will? End? That's
(08:26):
what they're saying and Bill this morningas they were being pushed and keep in
mind, right, police and rankhere were pushing them through a quad.
I was following this one little contingentAmy and I kept talking about or talking
as this little contingent got pushed outto the road. So I got behind
the protest line in back a littleways and I start talking to them and
they the one of their gripes,if I will, if I may,
(08:48):
was that they're mad because summer wasabout to start, so this encampment really
wouldn't beginning in the way of school. So I had asked. I had
said, well, okay, Isaid, so, were you just planning
on dispersing this camp than when summerstarted? Was this really just a during
the school year kind of activity fora lack of better terms? And they
said no, they were planning onstaying here. Of course they divested,
(09:11):
of course, according to them,Yeah, I get I no, I
get it. And the other one. The other thing I'd like you to
point out to one of these studentsis, uh, let's go back to
you have one. Uh, theschool has agreed to divest, and then
you tell someone goes and tells thePalestinians who are lining up for their first
(09:31):
meal of the month and their homeis rubble and half their family has been
killed and under the rubble. They'rereally involved in divestment. They really care
about this. Hey, you guysare idiots. What what do you expect?
(09:52):
You think Israel is going to stopbecause you want divestment with school sell
off their stock to someone who wantsto buy it. Clearly, what's the
word I'm looking for? Moron?Imbecile. I'm trying to look through the
trash here, bill on the groundto give you an idea of what they
(10:13):
actually had in this camp. Sohere's what I'm seeing. I just want
to give you guys an idea ofwhat's on the ground. Here just in
front of me right now, there'sa UCLA water bottle. Then there's three
or four pairs of swimming goggles.I mean, these just look like the
kind of goggles you give your kidout a resort down in around in Mexico.
There's a couple of gas masks.Here, there's a bag, some
(10:33):
blankets, some chicken bones, alot of chicken bones. So I can
I can you know, for Neilfour reporter, I can play what was
on the menu? Can you tasteit to see what kind of sauce?
Hey, what about funny one thought, though, some of these people that
were seeing look older. Have youseen anybody that you would recognize out there
(10:56):
blank as a possible or from thereat the school. Well, I didn't
actually see myself staff from the schoolhere. That's not to say that they
weren't here this morning. I didspeak to one professor and uh, she
had She wasn't a professor, sorry, a professor, but she was not
a professor from UCLA. She wasa professor from some other college, and
(11:20):
she was here and seemed to bereally supporting the student. Yeah, and
there a lot of professors are whatare they doing for sanitation? By the
way, like what what does itappeared they were doing for sanitation other than
squatting? Has anybody brought in portabletoilets or anything? I'm looking? Uh.
One crime I know that Neil willsay they committed is I did see
(11:41):
a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. I don't know Neil's stance on that.
Oh I like it. Yeah,walking so so I am seeing a
couple of these umbrellas. And ifyou'll remember, they used these umbrellas when
we saw those those bear spray,those mace attacks. They used these umbrellas
to kind of shield themselves a lotof sleeping. There's a bicycle in front
of me, the headphones. Allright, let me reask the question because
(12:05):
maybe you missed it. What arethey doing for sanitation? What are they
doing to pee? Well, evenbeyond that, what are they doing?
Uh? Oh ahead, Yeah,I would assume that they're using this building.
You know, they built quite thebear okay, kind of a barrier
fire around one of the buildings,and I'm guessing they're going in and out
of that building, okay. Andso the building is attached to the encampment,
(12:26):
so it's not enclosed by the police. It's not a basically a standalone
encampment. No, this building was, this building that I'm looking at was
definitely within the camp, like aplywood barrier around it. All right,
you got it? All right?Do we go to the rest of the
news and uh what do you think? And come back with Blake later on?
(12:48):
Okay, Blake, that's what we'regonna do. Obviously. This is
what we call in showbiz and radioland. It's a fluid situation. It's
dynamic, it's moving. I thoughtthat's the movement and the fluid situation was
your last question. Yes, itwas all right, Blake. Well,
anything that breaks, if anything's happening, just you know, call in and
(13:09):
we'll break right in. Okay,I'll let you know. Yeah, you
know, Bill, I think I'mgoing to be able to speak with law
enforcement here soon. They're giving mediaone on ones. I'll let you know
what I hear. Yeah, that'dbe great. All right, I'll think
Blake will be back with us asstories break. That was good stuff,
by the way, let's do ithandle on the news with Amy Neil and
me, and we're going to skipthe first story because it's all about what's
(13:31):
happening. Then let's go right tothe protests lasted or the encampment was set
up for a week, and nowthe University of California statewide president has opened
an investigation into how UCLA handled theviolence that unfolded at the pro Palestinian encampment.
(13:52):
Of course did yeah, and we'retalking about now Tuesday night when the
some people came on to camp oneof us, like one hundred pro Israelis,
so that's the whole story too,came in and attack the encampment,
and that's what they're investigating. Specificallyfor this. Yeah, and we don't
know how many outside people, youknow, were they students? Were they
(14:13):
not? On both sides. Neilpointed out something which I thought was interesting
this morning, is that the universityis being nailed because it waited three hours
to call the cops in after Well, that's the weird thing. Yeah,
is that the case? I mean, because if the cops can't win here
regards no, they go in tooearly, or they go they don't go
in, and they end up thewing nuts who are causing the problem.
(14:37):
These are not the peaceful protesters,but the ones that are causing problems,
vandalizing, doing all those things that'snot peaceful. Keeping Jewish people from going
to the library not peaceful. Butthe cops can't win here on one side
or the other. And look andthey can't even use force even when being
attacked. You saw the cops beingattacked, things thrown at them. Twenty
(15:00):
years ago. You threw something ata cop, your head was bloodied very
quickly, the batons would come out. Totally different cops. I wouldn't want
to be a cop today under anycircumstances because you don't get to hit anybody.
Oh yeah, Okay, yeah,sure enough, because you can't beat
people up or kill the people youwant to kill. Yesterday, the House
passed by on this very note bipartisanbell aimed at combating anti Semitism as all
(15:24):
of these Propealestinian protests continue to gothroughout these college campuses in the United States.
Here, so the bill titled AntiSemitism Awareness Act is really looking to
adopt the broad definition of anti Semitismused by the International Cost Remembrance Alliance.
This will fail on its face.This is such a violation of the First
(15:46):
Amendment across the board. I mean, I don't even know why they did
that. The measure passed three andtwenty to ninety one. Doesn't matter.
You're allowed to say Israel should notexist. You are allowed to say that
the Jews are destroying America or theworld. You're allowed to say that.
(16:07):
You can't say yeah, you cansay you should die. You can say
that that's America, of course.But is this to say, hey,
this is anti semitism. That's aresolution. That is a resolution, not
a law, and that is theproblem. So it's going to fail miserably.
I mean, I'm not a bigfan of those people. That espouse
(16:29):
the destruction of Israel. But youknow you can say that, you can
say it should be destroyed. Youcan't say go out and destroy. Are
you concerned that they're going to stopyou from your anti Semitism? Yes,
they are, because I'm a selfloathing jew. Arizona has rejoined the twenty
first century. The Arizona Senate followedthe House and voted yesterday to repeal the
(16:52):
state's one hundred and sixty year oldnear total man on abortion. It's headed
to the governor, to the governor'sdease next and Katie Hobbs says she will
sign it. So the legislation clearsthe way for the state's fifteen week limit
to remain state law. Yeah.A couple of words about that, And
that is what's fascinating is it passedonly sixteen fourteen to get rid of this
(17:17):
insane law, and the Republicans wereable to stop the repeal a couple of
times. And when you look atthe judge who said the eighteen sixty four
law has to prevail, that wasa legal decision. That was not him
being in favor of being anti abortionor killing all the abortion. Oh good
(17:38):
phrase of stopping all the anti abortionlaws. It was the judge saying the
twenty twenty bill predicated on Roe v. Wade in the bill failed because Roe
v. Wade is gone. Sothe only law that exists is the law
that was in place from eighteen sixtyfour. And he said, you want
to change it, have the largerchange it. And that's exactly what happens.
(18:02):
Everybody's screaming about the judge. Howdary do that? It was a
legitimate legal decision that he made.That's the law. It's supposed to be
free from emotion, and everybody getsemotional all the law. That's the only
law that exactly you know what's uh? I love the They call this in
logic the appeal to antiquity, like, oh, it's so old, Well
so is the law against murder.Yeah, so it's like, oh,
(18:25):
this old law about murder from theeighteen hundreds. All right, I think
we can do one more, Neil, all righty okay. The Federal Reserve
holding interest rates at their current level. This is that benchmark lending rate at
a twenty three year old year highrather since July, and they aggressively raised
(18:48):
rates starting about two years ago,and they're holding them there. We thought
they were going to go down.Yeah, Well that keeps getting pushed around,
That timing gets pushed back, thatgreat cut because the economy is still
too hot. It has not sloweddown enough, even though the Fed keeps
on raising rates. At some pointthe economy just slowed down where you can't
borrow money anymore, and businesses aresimply not going to borrow, and people
(19:12):
are not going to borrow because everythingis too high, and that slows down
the economy. Blake Trolley, understandthat you have either just talked to a
cop or you are Yeah, Ithink that's what happened, right, Yeah,
we just got an opportunity to hearfrom a spokesperson for CHP who gave
us some pretty preliminary information. Butit paints a picture as to what's happening
(19:33):
over here. Bill. So thisofficer had told us that more. He
said, at least one hundred arrestshave been made, all with a varying
degree of charges. Now, ifyou'll know, Amy and I at about
the entire time wake up call wasgoing on, I was checking in with
her and we were watching the smallcontingent of protesters get pushed from kind of
that center quad area where this encampmenthad been set up out to the street.
(19:59):
Well, when we had asked theCHP what was the technique here,
he wouldn't speak to it, youknow, in detail. But what he
did say is, look at usuallywith a situation like this, we're going
to try to break this protest groupup into smaller groups and then move them
off campus or like we've also seenmake massive arrests and you know, build
where that encampment was or where itstill stands the ruins of it. There
(20:23):
are protesters with their hands zip tiedbehind their backs. Officers are processing those
arrests. You can see them askingthose protesters questions and putting that all into
some sort of paperwork I'm assuming sothey can speed up the booking processes.
They've got more than one hundred ofthese cases now to process. Have you
heard it all about consequences to thesestudent slash protesters if they are students,
(20:49):
well, I'm sure most of themare. But the few outsiders that who
come in outside of the misdemeanor chargein which they are going to literally walk
in walk out of prison, anda big deal of misdemeanor I any other
consequences expulsion suspension is that in thewords have you the school? Yeah,
(21:11):
Well, UCLA has said that thestudents taking part of this could face suspension
or expulsion. I'm kind of curiousto see how they differentiate between the two,
like what level of culpability or whatdo you have to do to get
you know, varying levels of culpabilityhere, But the school has come out
and said that, yes, studentstaking part in this are going to face
(21:34):
disciplinary action and this is pertaining totheir yeah, you know, you know,
getting their degree. Yeah, expulsionis the big one. Yeah,
I think expulsion is is the bigone. These kids who have been arrested,
young people have been arrested on WhenI was looking at the video throughout
the last couple of days over theschool protest demonstrations, a lot of them
(21:55):
were wearing face masks or the cafeasthat covered up their faces. The one
hundred or so or the group peoplethat are being marched off, are they
wearing face coverings? A lot ofthem are. Yeah. And when you
say face masks, I just wantto point this out because when you think
of protesters wearing face masks, ofcourse you see some of them with the
bandanas around their face. But alot of them these are COVID style medical
(22:18):
face masks that you're seeing them beinghauled off campus. And in fact,
when I was going through the trash, I saw a huge pile of It
was such a flashback to the pandemic. There were just a huge pile of
those those basic face masks we allgot during the pandemic among the rubble.
Yeah, and clearly they're not wearingthose masks because of the pandemic or transmission
(22:44):
of the virus. It's clearly they'recovering up their faces. And you know
it makes sense because then how doesthe school determine Well, it's easy.
They're going to get the booking recordand a lot of students are going to
say, hey, I was caughtup in this, except those people that
were inside the encampment after it wascalled an illegal assembly. I think they're
(23:04):
looking at some issues. All right, Blake, we'll keep in touch again
throughout the morning, and anything happens, we're going to break right in with
you. All right, Hi,Thanks Bill, all right, take care
of yourself. All right, let'scontinue on with more news with Amy Neil
and me. The Methodist say it'saok to have gay clerg. The United
(23:26):
Methodist Church has overturned a forty yearban on gay clergy during a meeting of
the church's top legislative body in Charlotte. The church has been divided over this,
obviously for a very long time,and at one point was even thinking
about splitting into two separate churches becauseof the issue. How do they know
that the clergy is gay? Andthere's a question of they're not wearing the
(23:48):
white collar and wearing BoA's instead.Wow, you're very generous on that,
Amy King. The United States inPoe's sanctions on more than a dozen companies
in China and Hong Kong. Thisis all because of their support of the
of Russia's war on Ukraine. Thisis part of nearly three hundred new sanctions
(24:12):
unveiled just yesterday. Yeah, I'mgoing to talk a little bit more about
that if we have time. Basedon what's happening over at UCLA and about
what's happening in Mexico, the USand China. As a result of all
this time has painted a picture ofa possible next Trump presidency. How's that
(24:33):
for a lot of peace? Theformer president told Time magazine that he thinks
there is a definite anti white feelingin the country that can't be allowed,
and vows to focus on anti whiteracism when he's elected. He also said
he would use the US military todeport eleven million illegal immigrants and deploy the
National Guard to quash protests, andalso got the US Civil Service. There
(24:56):
used to be reversed excrimination lawsuits.I haven't heard of one lately, and
that is white people being precluded frompositions schools, universities and who had qualifications
higher than those African Americans who didget those positions, and there were lawsuits
(25:17):
flying all over the place. Thosefor the most part, are gone.
But don't you think if somebody broughtthem now, they would just be called
racists. Yes. Absolutely. Andsometimes you get hired for a position not
just on your qualifications but other attitudes. Well, I'll tell you. I'll
tell you what a couple of theIVY leagues did to get around it.
(25:38):
Is they allowed it was a formof affirmative action, basically, it is
and recognizing the fact that kids comingfrom the inner city don't have the same
opportunities. There's no tutors or anyof that, and a lot of them
have to work and they don't havethey don't have what is it, nuclear
families? You know, a lotof them just still only have mom or
(26:00):
grandma to take care of them.And so there's affirmative action which was attacked,
and then a couple of Ivy Leagueschools and this you can't even argue
with. It was not allowing affirmativeaction, allowing students who had lower qualifications
per the school, per the school'scriteria, and argue that this was not
(26:22):
even for them. It was forthe rich white kids to get a flavor
of what the world is because therich white kids were so isolated and had
no concept of diversity in the world. It was for their benefit, not
the minorities benefit. Interesting, itwas interesting, and it actually tracks a
(26:47):
little bit. It does. Itdoes. I'm not saying it doesn't.
It's an argument, and I thinka pretty good one. Yeah, that's
hard to attack because it expands therich white kids' education. Wow. Yeah,
ain't that a twist. Manhattan DistrictAttorney prosecutor says that Harvey Weinstein is
(27:11):
going to be retried for those sexcrimes. Of course you will. How
can the DA say no, We'renot going to retry Harvey Weinstein let him
get a quote get away with theNew York convictions. And this was all
due to a couple of witnesses,not the judge. Is what the judge
did, but didn't I thought theyhad some people speaking, Yeah, well
(27:32):
shouldn't have been brought up. Whatthe judge allowed were witnesses, not to
refute what Weinstein says. What you'reallowed to do, but witnesses that had
nothing to do with the trial itself, and he brought them in and the
prosecution argued for them to show thatEinstein's a bad guy. You can't do
that. You can't just bring inpeople that have nothing to do with the
(27:56):
trial to talk about what happened tothem. That's way too prejudicial. And
the appeals court said that's way tooprejudicial and it's not probative enough to prove
the point. You know, there'sa you know, just you can't do
that. Yeah, every time yougot sued, they'd be bringing every right
person that's ever worked. That's exactlycorrect, and you take forever and you
(28:18):
can't do that. Yes, you'reyour honor, he's an ass Yes,
thank you, Yes, so hasTesla just cut off its nose despite its
face. Tesla abruptly fired the teamrunning its electric vehicle charging business, which
raises some doubts about the future ofone of the largest charging networks in the
(28:38):
US, which other car makers likeGM and Ford have said they want to
use too. Yeah, the wholeproblem is all these major charging areas or
charging stations have problems because there's notenough of them. I mean, I
do the commercials for Walter's Wholesale Electric. That's the entire issue. If you're
a business, I'm ex about tocommercial again and you don't have a charging
(29:02):
station, I mean, you're nutstoday. You've got to have charging stations
out there. There aren't enough ofthem, and you range anxiety. So
I drive in right, and Iwhen I go to a charging station,
I need a supercharger. There's aline, and it's twenty minutes to charge
the car. So if there arepeople in front of you, you just
bought an hour wait and then twentyminutes for yourself. And people who have
(29:26):
cars that take that are gasoline powercars say it takes me three minutes.
You know what they should make.They should design a trailer, the Tesla
trailer. That is another set ofbatteries to charge the batteries in your car.
That's a good point, just likeyou do for yourself phone's powered car.
Yeah, exactly, have some youknow, there's a charger downstairs in
(29:48):
this building and it is their crap. Yeah, they're very expensive and they're
basically you get two miles an hourand they charge a chunk of money.
I'm telling you you want to getinto business, you get into the charging
business and make sure your charger ison a one ten. It takes almost
no electricity and you've made yourself bucketsof money. Since you get a flatbed,
(30:14):
you put a gas generator on itand you plug that into your car,
your EV to charge it. Yeah, well you know that's what's happening
now. When people's batteries dies,then they have to call Triple A in
to come and rescue them. Andthat's gas powered. Yeah. Kind of
defeats a purpose. I love it. Yeah, chaos. And now the
(30:40):
highest selling cars, the biggest sellingcars are now hybrids as opposed to straight
eb's. I mean, I lovemy Yeah, but didn't they say that
those hybrids really aren't helping. Theyare, No, they're not helping in
terms of the economy, I meanthe environment. They're helping you, that's
my point. Yeah, so itmakes you feel better, I guess.
Yeah. All right. The USand Saudi Arabia, if you remember,
(31:02):
right before all hell broke loose inthe Middle East, they were moving towards
some agreements. They drafted a setof agreements on security, technology sharing,
that type of thing, and theywere intended to be linked to a broader
Middle East settlement and that would involveIsrael and the Palestinians. Well that went
to hell. So in the absenceof a ceasefire there in Gaza, they're
(31:23):
kind of doing a Plan B rightnow, So Saudis are pushing for a
more modest plan which excludes the theIsraelis, but still moving forward. Here's
a spin on that story. Doyou know that Saudi Arabian Israel just about
to normalize relations before the October attack. That's the point. This was all
part of that, that we're able, and then the attack happened. The
(31:44):
You don't think that's a rage coincidence, now, I think Hamas had that
in mind. Absolutely. That's anotherthat's another wrink. When this absolutely and
everybody walks about it's working, it'sworking. Mean they pulled it off.
Of course it was they had topay for the destruction of Gaza, you
know, wiping out the country,but hey, small price to pay losing
(32:05):
thirty five thousand people and no infrastructureagain for twenty five years. Man,
we're not gonna have Israel talk tothe Saudiast. That's not gonna happen.

sir, Amy, Good morning.It's a hell of a day at CA.
Sir. Yeah, we started Welcometo the show and kno good morning
day. Okay, all right,now that the good mornings are over.
(02:15):
Yesterday we talked a lot about howthe crazy stuff was having at Columbia with
a protests. The news has switchedall to UCLA. That's what's going on.
That is the hot spot of thecountry. I was listening to CNN
actually coming in this morning and itwas all about UCLA. Reporters are there
(02:36):
and it is just a cluster truckover there. And I'm one of the
things about these demonstrators is they areso clean and they are so careful about
where they place things. If youlook at that, a mound of garbage.
It's weird to see the campus looklike the rest of LA. Yeah,
(02:58):
all right, Blake Trully is there. He's been there for assuming most
of the night. Blake, goodmorning, Hey, good morning, Bill.
Yeah. I actually got here aboutthree am. We passed it off.
Michael Monks was here when this encampmentstarted being brought down. But right
now I am standing in a bigruin of trash in down tents as officers
(03:20):
start removing this encampment and this fieldwe were not able to access, as
you'll know, until officers broke downthat barrier. We are now standing where
the encampment once was, and itjust looks like trash and down tents.
Yeah. I mean, good forthe students on that one. Good for
the protesters now when you said youdidn't have access, we're the protesters and
(03:44):
I was about to say student protesters, but that's one of the big stories.
Are outside quote agitators and we don'tknow who they are, but that's
the stories going around that have joinedprotests. I guess on both sides,
primarily the pro Israeli side, iswhat the reports are. They didn't even
let press in you would think theywould let press in to do the story
(04:04):
on the encampments. Was that nothappening. Yeah, they were not letting
press in. There was actually somevideos of reporters trying to access the encampment.
They were not letting them in.And as you'll remember, they constructed
a barrier out of kind of metalevent fencing, plywood and just other pieces
of wood, if you will,and so they were not letting press on.
(04:26):
In fact, yesterday, to talkto one of the protesters, I
had to walk around the back ofthe encampment where they were making a couple
people available. And yesterday I hadasked them because it really did seem like
police were going to move and mobilize. Yesterday we had heard the mayor talking
about how she was meeting with teamslaw enforcement teams here at UCLA as well
(04:48):
as you know, regional law enforcementthat were going to help with uc police
disperse this camp. When you starthearing that kind of chatter, you have
to think you know they're going tomove in. I was told, yeah,
yesterday that some sheriffs inmate transport vehicleswere staged nearby. So with all
of that said, I had askedthis protester, you know, what is
(05:10):
your plan if law enforcement starts movingin and really you know, especially with
dispersal orders. And she had said, no, we are not leaving until
our demands are met, and thatthe school divests from Israeli companies. I
did ask for a specific list ofcompanies to that same protester, she says
that they're obvious and a lot ofpeople know them. I have yet to
see. I don't know. ButI was listening to you Blake yesterday on
(05:31):
with Cobalt and I. It waslike a Saturday Night Live skit. It
reminded me the audio that Blake wastraining playing sounded like that meme of that
Beauty Queen contestant who kept saying suchas such as the Americas. I mean,
it was really it. It wasreally bad, Blake. She was
(05:54):
twenty or something like that. Yeah, she was twenty years old. And
I mean, guys, the waythat this encampment formed, they really got
organized quickly, and it was almostlike they were making their pios available.
I mean they called the media liaisons. Now essentially a spokesperson, Yeah,
who decides that? Are they selfselected spokespeople? They come out and say,
(06:15):
yeah, I've raised my hand.I'll be the guy or I'll be
the gal who does this. Yeah, you know, Bill, I don't
know the voting system or if thisis a bureaucracy. Now, what I
will say is that yesterday or today, sorry, right now, you know,
while police have broken down the barriers, they've busted down this encampment.
It's down to its rubble. Thereare still a few protesters out in the
(06:39):
distance. I'm hoping to get closerafter this hit and speak to but there
are still some defiant protesters that arerefusing to leave, and it appears they
want to go down with the shipdespite And let me try to paint this
picture for you. If you lookat the encampment, and now that there's
daylight, it's a lot easier forme to kind of see where everything's at.
(06:59):
If you look to the south endof the camp, there are protesters
refusing to leave. They're they're chanting. They've got officers and riot here surrounding
them. It's a very small numberat this point. If you look to
the north end of this or yeah, the north end of the squad the
other end, what you end upseeing is a line of protesters. I
posted this to Twitter at Blake Trolleyif anybody wants to see it. A
(07:21):
line of protesters, hands zip tiedbehind their backs being escorted off campus here.
Yeah, but they're using that sideis apparently not enough to move them.
Yeah, badge of bonn Ord kindof thing. Uh oh, I'm
not telling you what to do,but I'm going to tell you what to
do. I have some questions foryou to ask, if you don't mind,
a couple of questions. One,you talk about divesting, as you
(07:43):
said, which companies, and thethat moron said it's obvious not to me
which companies. Start giving me alist of which companies they're not going to
come up with one. And there'sa you know, Bill, I'm a
failed business student myself. Yeah,okay, so ortunately you know. Okay,
So there's that. And the otherquestion I want to ask is what
(08:05):
happens if the school does divest andsells off its ownership of stocks of companies
that engage in engage in business withIsrael? Does that stop the demonstrations?
Are you going to now leave becauseyou got your will? End? That's
(08:26):
what they're saying and Bill this morningas they were being pushed and keep in
mind, right, police and rankhere were pushing them through a quad.
I was following this one little contingentAmy and I kept talking about or talking
as this little contingent got pushed outto the road. So I got behind
the protest line in back a littleways and I start talking to them and
they the one of their gripes,if I will, if I may,
(08:48):
was that they're mad because summer wasabout to start, so this encampment really
wouldn't beginning in the way of school. So I had asked. I had
said, well, okay, Isaid, so, were you just planning
on dispersing this camp than when summerstarted? Was this really just a during
the school year kind of activity fora lack of better terms? And they
said no, they were planning onstaying here. Of course they divested,
(09:11):
of course, according to them,Yeah, I get I no, I
get it. And the other one. The other thing I'd like you to
point out to one of these studentsis, uh, let's go back to
you have one. Uh, theschool has agreed to divest, and then
you tell someone goes and tells thePalestinians who are lining up for their first
(09:31):
meal of the month and their homeis rubble and half their family has been
killed and under the rubble. They'rereally involved in divestment. They really care
about this. Hey, you guysare idiots. What what do you expect?
(09:52):
You think Israel is going to stopbecause you want divestment with school sell
off their stock to someone who wantsto buy it. Clearly, what's the
word I'm looking for? Moron?Imbecile. I'm trying to look through the
trash here, bill on the groundto give you an idea of what they
(10:13):
actually had in this camp. Sohere's what I'm seeing. I just want
to give you guys an idea ofwhat's on the ground. Here just in
front of me right now, there'sa UCLA water bottle. Then there's three
or four pairs of swimming goggles.I mean, these just look like the
kind of goggles you give your kidout a resort down in around in Mexico.
There's a couple of gas masks.Here, there's a bag, some
(10:33):
blankets, some chicken bones, alot of chicken bones. So I can
I can you know, for Neilfour reporter, I can play what was
on the menu? Can you tasteit to see what kind of sauce?
Hey, what about funny one thought, though, some of these people that
were seeing look older. Have youseen anybody that you would recognize out there
(10:56):
blank as a possible or from thereat the school. Well, I didn't
actually see myself staff from the schoolhere. That's not to say that they
weren't here this morning. I didspeak to one professor and uh, she
had She wasn't a professor, sorry, a professor, but she was not
a professor from UCLA. She wasa professor from some other college, and
(11:20):
she was here and seemed to bereally supporting the student. Yeah, and
there a lot of professors are whatare they doing for sanitation? By the
way, like what what does itappeared they were doing for sanitation other than
squatting? Has anybody brought in portabletoilets or anything? I'm looking? Uh.
One crime I know that Neil willsay they committed is I did see
(11:41):
a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. I don't know Neil's stance on that.
Oh I like it. Yeah,walking so so I am seeing a
couple of these umbrellas. And ifyou'll remember, they used these umbrellas when
we saw those those bear spray,those mace attacks. They used these umbrellas
to kind of shield themselves a lotof sleeping. There's a bicycle in front
of me, the headphones. Allright, let me reask the question because
(12:05):
maybe you missed it. What arethey doing for sanitation? What are they
doing to pee? Well, evenbeyond that, what are they doing?
Uh? Oh ahead, Yeah,I would assume that they're using this building.
You know, they built quite thebear okay, kind of a barrier
fire around one of the buildings,and I'm guessing they're going in and out
of that building, okay. Andso the building is attached to the encampment,
(12:26):
so it's not enclosed by the police. It's not a basically a standalone
encampment. No, this building was, this building that I'm looking at was
definitely within the camp, like aplywood barrier around it. All right,
you got it? All right?Do we go to the rest of the
news and uh what do you think? And come back with Blake later on?
(12:48):
Okay, Blake, that's what we'regonna do. Obviously. This is
what we call in showbiz and radioland. It's a fluid situation. It's
dynamic, it's moving. I thoughtthat's the movement and the fluid situation was
your last question. Yes, itwas all right, Blake. Well,
anything that breaks, if anything's happening, just you know, call in and
(13:09):
we'll break right in. Okay,I'll let you know. Yeah, you
know, Bill, I think I'mgoing to be able to speak with law
enforcement here soon. They're giving mediaone on ones. I'll let you know
what I hear. Yeah, that'dbe great. All right, I'll think
Blake will be back with us asstories break. That was good stuff,
by the way, let's do ithandle on the news with Amy Neil and
me, and we're going to skipthe first story because it's all about what's
(13:31):
happening. Then let's go right tothe protests lasted or the encampment was set
up for a week, and nowthe University of California statewide president has opened
an investigation into how UCLA handled theviolence that unfolded at the pro Palestinian encampment.
(13:52):
Of course did yeah, and we'retalking about now Tuesday night when the
some people came on to camp oneof us, like one hundred pro Israelis,
so that's the whole story too,came in and attack the encampment,
and that's what they're investigating. Specificallyfor this. Yeah, and we don't
know how many outside people, youknow, were they students? Were they
(14:13):
not? On both sides. Neilpointed out something which I thought was interesting
this morning, is that the universityis being nailed because it waited three hours
to call the cops in after Well, that's the weird thing. Yeah,
is that the case? I mean, because if the cops can't win here
regards no, they go in tooearly, or they go they don't go
in, and they end up thewing nuts who are causing the problem.
(14:37):
These are not the peaceful protesters,but the ones that are causing problems,
vandalizing, doing all those things that'snot peaceful. Keeping Jewish people from going
to the library not peaceful. Butthe cops can't win here on one side
or the other. And look andthey can't even use force even when being
attacked. You saw the cops beingattacked, things thrown at them. Twenty
(15:00):
years ago. You threw something ata cop, your head was bloodied very
quickly, the batons would come out. Totally different cops. I wouldn't want
to be a cop today under anycircumstances because you don't get to hit anybody.
Oh yeah, Okay, yeah,sure enough, because you can't beat
people up or kill the people youwant to kill. Yesterday, the House
passed by on this very note bipartisanbell aimed at combating anti Semitism as all
(15:24):
of these Propealestinian protests continue to gothroughout these college campuses in the United States.
Here, so the bill titled AntiSemitism Awareness Act is really looking to
adopt the broad definition of anti Semitismused by the International Cost Remembrance Alliance.
This will fail on its face.This is such a violation of the First
(15:46):
Amendment across the board. I mean, I don't even know why they did
that. The measure passed three andtwenty to ninety one. Doesn't matter.
You're allowed to say Israel should notexist. You are allowed to say that
the Jews are destroying America or theworld. You're allowed to say that.
(16:07):
You can't say yeah, you cansay you should die. You can say
that that's America, of course.But is this to say, hey,
this is anti semitism. That's aresolution. That is a resolution, not
a law, and that is theproblem. So it's going to fail miserably.
I mean, I'm not a bigfan of those people. That espouse
(16:29):
the destruction of Israel. But youknow you can say that, you can
say it should be destroyed. Youcan't say go out and destroy. Are
you concerned that they're going to stopyou from your anti Semitism? Yes,
they are, because I'm a selfloathing jew. Arizona has rejoined the twenty
first century. The Arizona Senate followedthe House and voted yesterday to repeal the
(16:52):
state's one hundred and sixty year oldnear total man on abortion. It's headed
to the governor, to the governor'sdease next and Katie Hobbs says she will
sign it. So the legislation clearsthe way for the state's fifteen week limit
to remain state law. Yeah.A couple of words about that, And
that is what's fascinating is it passedonly sixteen fourteen to get rid of this
(17:17):
insane law, and the Republicans wereable to stop the repeal a couple of
times. And when you look atthe judge who said the eighteen sixty four
law has to prevail, that wasa legal decision. That was not him
being in favor of being anti abortionor killing all the abortion. Oh good
(17:38):
phrase of stopping all the anti abortionlaws. It was the judge saying the
twenty twenty bill predicated on Roe v. Wade in the bill failed because Roe
v. Wade is gone. Sothe only law that exists is the law
that was in place from eighteen sixtyfour. And he said, you want
to change it, have the largerchange it. And that's exactly what happens.
(18:02):
Everybody's screaming about the judge. Howdary do that? It was a
legitimate legal decision that he made.That's the law. It's supposed to be
free from emotion, and everybody getsemotional all the law. That's the only
law that exactly you know what's uh? I love the They call this in
logic the appeal to antiquity, like, oh, it's so old, Well
so is the law against murder.Yeah, so it's like, oh,
(18:25):
this old law about murder from theeighteen hundreds. All right, I think
we can do one more, Neil, all righty okay. The Federal Reserve
holding interest rates at their current level. This is that benchmark lending rate at
a twenty three year old year highrather since July, and they aggressively raised
(18:48):
rates starting about two years ago,and they're holding them there. We thought
they were going to go down.Yeah, Well that keeps getting pushed around,
That timing gets pushed back, thatgreat cut because the economy is still
too hot. It has not sloweddown enough, even though the Fed keeps
on raising rates. At some pointthe economy just slowed down where you can't
borrow money anymore, and businesses aresimply not going to borrow, and people
(19:12):
are not going to borrow because everythingis too high, and that slows down
the economy. Blake Trolley, understandthat you have either just talked to a
cop or you are Yeah, Ithink that's what happened, right, Yeah,
we just got an opportunity to hearfrom a spokesperson for CHP who gave
us some pretty preliminary information. Butit paints a picture as to what's happening
(19:33):
over here. Bill. So thisofficer had told us that more. He
said, at least one hundred arrestshave been made, all with a varying
degree of charges. Now, ifyou'll know, Amy and I at about
the entire time wake up call wasgoing on, I was checking in with
her and we were watching the smallcontingent of protesters get pushed from kind of
that center quad area where this encampmenthad been set up out to the street.
(19:59):
Well, when we had asked theCHP what was the technique here,
he wouldn't speak to it, youknow, in detail. But what he
did say is, look at usuallywith a situation like this, we're going
to try to break this protest groupup into smaller groups and then move them
off campus or like we've also seenmake massive arrests and you know, build
where that encampment was or where itstill stands the ruins of it. There
(20:23):
are protesters with their hands zip tiedbehind their backs. Officers are processing those
arrests. You can see them askingthose protesters questions and putting that all into
some sort of paperwork I'm assuming sothey can speed up the booking processes.
They've got more than one hundred ofthese cases now to process. Have you
heard it all about consequences to thesestudent slash protesters if they are students,
(20:49):
well, I'm sure most of themare. But the few outsiders that who
come in outside of the misdemeanor chargein which they are going to literally walk
in walk out of prison, anda big deal of misdemeanor I any other
consequences expulsion suspension is that in thewords have you the school? Yeah,
(21:11):
Well, UCLA has said that thestudents taking part of this could face suspension
or expulsion. I'm kind of curiousto see how they differentiate between the two,
like what level of culpability or whatdo you have to do to get
you know, varying levels of culpabilityhere, But the school has come out
and said that, yes, studentstaking part in this are going to face
(21:34):
disciplinary action and this is pertaining totheir yeah, you know, you know,
getting their degree. Yeah, expulsionis the big one. Yeah,
I think expulsion is is the bigone. These kids who have been arrested,
young people have been arrested on WhenI was looking at the video throughout
the last couple of days over theschool protest demonstrations, a lot of them
(21:55):
were wearing face masks or the cafeasthat covered up their faces. The one
hundred or so or the group peoplethat are being marched off, are they
wearing face coverings? A lot ofthem are. Yeah. And when you
say face masks, I just wantto point this out because when you think
of protesters wearing face masks, ofcourse you see some of them with the
bandanas around their face. But alot of them these are COVID style medical
(22:18):
face masks that you're seeing them beinghauled off campus. And in fact,
when I was going through the trash, I saw a huge pile of It
was such a flashback to the pandemic. There were just a huge pile of
those those basic face masks we allgot during the pandemic among the rubble.
Yeah, and clearly they're not wearingthose masks because of the pandemic or transmission
(22:44):
of the virus. It's clearly they'recovering up their faces. And you know
it makes sense because then how doesthe school determine Well, it's easy.
They're going to get the booking recordand a lot of students are going to
say, hey, I was caughtup in this, except those people that
were inside the encampment after it wascalled an illegal assembly. I think they're
(23:04):
looking at some issues. All right, Blake, we'll keep in touch again
throughout the morning, and anything happens, we're going to break right in with
you. All right, Hi,Thanks Bill, all right, take care
of yourself. All right, let'scontinue on with more news with Amy Neil
and me. The Methodist say it'saok to have gay clerg. The United
(23:26):
Methodist Church has overturned a forty yearban on gay clergy during a meeting of
the church's top legislative body in Charlotte. The church has been divided over this,
obviously for a very long time,and at one point was even thinking
about splitting into two separate churches becauseof the issue. How do they know
that the clergy is gay? Andthere's a question of they're not wearing the
(23:48):
white collar and wearing BoA's instead.Wow, you're very generous on that,
Amy King. The United States inPoe's sanctions on more than a dozen companies
in China and Hong Kong. Thisis all because of their support of the
of Russia's war on Ukraine. Thisis part of nearly three hundred new sanctions
(24:12):
unveiled just yesterday. Yeah, I'mgoing to talk a little bit more about
that if we have time. Basedon what's happening over at UCLA and about
what's happening in Mexico, the USand China. As a result of all
this time has painted a picture ofa possible next Trump presidency. How's that
(24:33):
for a lot of peace? Theformer president told Time magazine that he thinks
there is a definite anti white feelingin the country that can't be allowed,
and vows to focus on anti whiteracism when he's elected. He also said
he would use the US military todeport eleven million illegal immigrants and deploy the
National Guard to quash protests, andalso got the US Civil Service. There
(24:56):
used to be reversed excrimination lawsuits.I haven't heard of one lately, and
that is white people being precluded frompositions schools, universities and who had qualifications
higher than those African Americans who didget those positions, and there were lawsuits
(25:17):
flying all over the place. Thosefor the most part, are gone.
But don't you think if somebody broughtthem now, they would just be called
racists. Yes. Absolutely. Andsometimes you get hired for a position not
just on your qualifications but other attitudes. Well, I'll tell you. I'll
tell you what a couple of theIVY leagues did to get around it.
(25:38):
Is they allowed it was a formof affirmative action, basically, it is
and recognizing the fact that kids comingfrom the inner city don't have the same
opportunities. There's no tutors or anyof that, and a lot of them
have to work and they don't havethey don't have what is it, nuclear
families? You know, a lotof them just still only have mom or
(26:00):
grandma to take care of them.And so there's affirmative action which was attacked,
and then a couple of Ivy Leagueschools and this you can't even argue
with. It was not allowing affirmativeaction, allowing students who had lower qualifications
per the school, per the school'scriteria, and argue that this was not
(26:22):
even for them. It was forthe rich white kids to get a flavor
of what the world is because therich white kids were so isolated and had
no concept of diversity in the world. It was for their benefit, not
the minorities benefit. Interesting, itwas interesting, and it actually tracks a
(26:47):
little bit. It does. Itdoes. I'm not saying it doesn't.
It's an argument, and I thinka pretty good one. Yeah, that's
hard to attack because it expands therich white kids' education. Wow. Yeah,
ain't that a twist. Manhattan DistrictAttorney prosecutor says that Harvey Weinstein is
(27:11):
going to be retried for those sexcrimes. Of course you will. How
can the DA say no, We'renot going to retry Harvey Weinstein let him
get a quote get away with theNew York convictions. And this was all
due to a couple of witnesses,not the judge. Is what the judge
did, but didn't I thought theyhad some people speaking, Yeah, well
(27:32):
shouldn't have been brought up. Whatthe judge allowed were witnesses, not to
refute what Weinstein says. What you'reallowed to do, but witnesses that had
nothing to do with the trial itself, and he brought them in and the
prosecution argued for them to show thatEinstein's a bad guy. You can't do
that. You can't just bring inpeople that have nothing to do with the
(27:56):
trial to talk about what happened tothem. That's way too prejudicial. And
the appeals court said that's way tooprejudicial and it's not probative enough to prove
the point. You know, there'sa you know, just you can't do
that. Yeah, every time yougot sued, they'd be bringing every right
person that's ever worked. That's exactlycorrect, and you take forever and you
(28:18):
can't do that. Yes, you'reyour honor, he's an ass Yes,
thank you, Yes, so hasTesla just cut off its nose despite its
face. Tesla abruptly fired the teamrunning its electric vehicle charging business, which
raises some doubts about the future ofone of the largest charging networks in the
(28:38):
US, which other car makers likeGM and Ford have said they want to
use too. Yeah, the wholeproblem is all these major charging areas or
charging stations have problems because there's notenough of them. I mean, I
do the commercials for Walter's Wholesale Electric. That's the entire issue. If you're
a business, I'm ex about tocommercial again and you don't have a charging
(29:02):
station, I mean, you're nutstoday. You've got to have charging stations
out there. There aren't enough ofthem, and you range anxiety. So
I drive in right, and Iwhen I go to a charging station,
I need a supercharger. There's aline, and it's twenty minutes to charge
the car. So if there arepeople in front of you, you just
bought an hour wait and then twentyminutes for yourself. And people who have
(29:26):
cars that take that are gasoline powercars say it takes me three minutes.
You know what they should make.They should design a trailer, the Tesla
trailer. That is another set ofbatteries to charge the batteries in your car.
That's a good point, just likeyou do for yourself phone's powered car.
Yeah, exactly, have some youknow, there's a charger downstairs in
(29:48):
this building and it is their crap. Yeah, they're very expensive and they're
basically you get two miles an hourand they charge a chunk of money.
I'm telling you you want to getinto business, you get into the charging
business and make sure your charger ison a one ten. It takes almost
no electricity and you've made yourself bucketsof money. Since you get a flatbed,
(30:14):
you put a gas generator on itand you plug that into your car,
your EV to charge it. Yeah, well you know that's what's happening
now. When people's batteries dies,then they have to call Triple A in
to come and rescue them. Andthat's gas powered. Yeah. Kind of
defeats a purpose. I love it. Yeah, chaos. And now the
(30:40):
highest selling cars, the biggest sellingcars are now hybrids as opposed to straight
eb's. I mean, I lovemy Yeah, but didn't they say that
those hybrids really aren't helping. Theyare, No, they're not helping in
terms of the economy, I meanthe environment. They're helping you, that's
my point. Yeah, so itmakes you feel better, I guess.
Yeah. All right. The USand Saudi Arabia, if you remember,
(31:02):
right before all hell broke loose inthe Middle East, they were moving towards
some agreements. They drafted a setof agreements on security, technology sharing,
that type of thing, and theywere intended to be linked to a broader
Middle East settlement and that would involveIsrael and the Palestinians. Well that went
to hell. So in the absenceof a ceasefire there in Gaza, they're
(31:23):
kind of doing a Plan B rightnow, So Saudis are pushing for a
more modest plan which excludes the theIsraelis, but still moving forward. Here's
a spin on that story. Doyou know that Saudi Arabian Israel just about
to normalize relations before the October attack. That's the point. This was all
part of that, that we're able, and then the attack happened. The
(31:44):
You don't think that's a rage coincidence, now, I think Hamas had that
in mind. Absolutely. That's anotherthat's another wrink. When this absolutely and
everybody walks about it's working, it'sworking. Mean they pulled it off.
Of course it was they had topay for the destruction of Gaza, you
know, wiping out the country,but hey, small price to pay losing
(32:05):
thirty five thousand people and no infrastructureagain for twenty five years. Man,
we're not gonna have Israel talk tothe Saudiast. That's not gonna happen.
