Mark HallHOST
But something emerged during their protestations that was perhaps even more disturbing in a video shared by Stu Smith, Mundy of the Manhattan Institute.
Mark HallHOST
showing a Cal State Los Angeles professor named Melina Abdullah not only naming an ICE officer and doxing him at the event by announcing the name of the hotel where he was staying and the address, but also repeatedly telling the audience to, and I quote, f*** him up, which some would suggest is a clear call for violence.
Mark HallHOST
Listen to this and ask yourself the obvious question.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Killer ICE agent who we got on good authority is right down the road.
Steven CrowderHOST
I know it's wishful thinking, but you let me know.
speaker_26PANELIST
Just to clarify, she's a Pan-African studies professor, Melina Abdullah, at, uh, what is it? Cal State LA.
Steven CrowderHOST
LA.
Steven CrowderHOST
Yep.
Brian ThomasHOST
You know, I was thinking about this hold your nose and vote Republican sort of summarization of the topic we're going to be talking about with Donovan O'Neill of AFP as well as the AFP political director Tim Ross coming up at 730.
Brian ThomasHOST
Is it so difficult in the face of what we are facing here, we collectively are facing as a nation with these leftist Democrat socialists of America and their supporters, which include this Cal State Los Angeles professor? And when you hear the words that this woman uttered in a crowd at this socialist conference in California, I mean, of all things, is it going to be that difficult to get off your butt and vote for a Republican even though that Republican doesn't represent perfection in your mind when you are faced with the opposition, a collective of big tent Democrats who will not reject and go on record rejecting the leftist ideology these people spout and who embrace the whole concept of getting rid of ICE agents completely? We have laws on the books and that's what ICE does, enforces the laws on the books.
Brian ThomasHOST
You want to change the law, change the law, but ICE still has to go about and do its work and you know what? Been doing a pretty damn good job getting some seriously twisted criminals off the streets in the United States of America.
Brian ThomasHOST
Now with that out of the way, her name is Melina Abdullah.
Dan ProftHOST
Uh-huh.
Dan ProftHOST
Uh, Melina Abdullah is a professor of Pan-African studies at Cal State LA.
Dan ProftHOST
Um, she was, uh, featured in a panel discussion on ICE, not dissimilar to the one had in Chicago.
Dan ProftHOST
This was in California at a socialist confab, but not dissimilar to the one in Chicago over the weekend.
Mark HallHOST
But something emerged during their protestations that was perhaps even more disturbing.
Mark HallHOST
In a video shared by Stu Smith Monday of the Manhattan Institute, showing a Cal State Los Angeles professor named Melina Abdullah not only naming an ICE officer and doxing him at the event by announcing the name of the hotel where he was staying and the address, but also repeatedly telling the audience to, and I quote, "[beep] him up," which some would suggest is a clear call for violence.

Killer ICE agent-
Marques JohnsonGUEST
My dad had a real solid appreciation for Coach West's basketball knowledge.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
And those days with no internet, no social media, Coach West kind of fell into the job at Crenshaw when the former coach, took another job at a college, Cal State L.A., Jim Ryan.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
So Coach was the, like, frosh soft coach.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
They called it B and C basketball back in those days.
Joe HinesHOST
So then what happened next in your life after
Anson CorsairGUEST
that? I went to school, started working at Cal State LA in their gym twice a week as a yoga instructor, making a few bucks, not much, but finished my teaching credential.
Anson CorsairGUEST
The last quarter of my teaching credential schooling, my mom passed away.
Anson CorsairGUEST
That threw a wrench in the direction that I would go.
Katherine GillenGUEST
And so as the next generation of teatros and artists moved into professional spaces, they saw Shakespeare as a vehicle to advance many of the same political, uh, motives that El Teatro Campesino had, and then they moved on to adapt the plays, many of which are featured in our anthology.
Katherine GillenGUEST
So a great example of this is Jose Cruz Gonzalez, who himself grew up as a farm worker and saw El Teatro Campesino performing, and he was instrumental in developing the play that would become The Language of Flowers with Edith Villareal for his students at Cal State LA.
Katherine GillenGUEST
And in 2010, he adapted The Winter's Tale, um, which is called Invierno, where he really depicts the long history of California, highlighting not only Spanish colonization and US colonization, but going back to the indigenous histories that are still alive in the Santee Nez Band of Chumash Indians.
Barbara BogaevHOST
Mm.
John McGinnessHOST
The, the, uh, the threats that I think...
John McGinnessHOST
I, I do see threats in the, uh, utterances of, uh, this, um, uh, Professor Abdullah from Cal State LA.
John McGinnessHOST
Uh, but the ability to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt effectively to a moral certainty before a jury of her peers is yet another question, and that is the decision to be made at some point by, uh, I would say either, uh, Nathan Hochman, the LA County District Attorney, or, uh, Bill Husey, the US Attorney, acting US attorney for the LA area, uh, in, at some point in the future.
John McGinnessHOST
Uh, those are two, uh, smart men, and I think the right decisions will be made.
5 MINS LATER
John McGinnessHOST
And then perhaps it has to do with the, uh, community college, uh, lockdown.
John McGinnessHOST
So, uh, certainly, um- Hoping and praying for a good outcome there.
John McGinnessHOST
Uh, back to your calls, 800-834-1530, and again, talking about the, uh, the behavior of some people, and explicitly this, uh, specifically this, uh, Cal State LA professor by the name of, uh, uh, Melina Abdalla, Abdalla.
John McGinnessHOST
Uh, your, your thoughts, 800-834-1530.
