00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.000
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.039
KFI AM six forty is Later with
mo Kelly. We're live everywhere on the

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.759
iHeartRadio app. We're monitoring what is
happening right now at UCLA. In fact,

4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.480
let's go to what KTLA is saying
right now. They're on scene that

5
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:24.079
encampment. Micah Share Now, John, you know last week when we were

6
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:29.640
recovering USC we were able to see
the turnover of those protesters to police,

7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.920
and that was very peaceful, in
fact, one by one that they handed

8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:40.399
themselves over and were arrested peacefully.
There are and there have been reports,

9
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:47.600
however, that this encampment here at
UCLA, in the roy Squad that today

10
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:55.399
they have requested supplies to the tune
of gas masks as well as mace and

11
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:03.000
other supplies and flashlights and the sort
of protection. Have you heard of things

12
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:08.480
of that sort that they have been
asked for that kind of protection. You

13
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:14.200
know, we've also known that since
yesterday they've been asked to disperse and that

14
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.640
they have not yet disbanded this encampment
here and have defied those orders for over

15
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.519
twenty four hours now. So Your
question is have they asked for supplies and

16
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.760
why are they still hearing? What
are the police doing about it? I

17
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.000
think that's what you're saying. Short
answer is, yes, they have asked

18
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.640
for supplies. They've asked for first
aid supplies, they've asked for food,

19
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:40.200
water, and other refreshments. And
we've been able to get a glimpse inside

20
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:45.079
the encampment. You can't look for
very long because some of the demonstrators there

21
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.599
they will find a bright light to
try to prevent you from seeing inside.

22
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.879
But we can see people inside wearing
respirator masks like the ones that people were

23
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.599
wearing during the height of the COVID
nineteen pandemic, also wearing hard hats.

24
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.959
Of course, this is all following
the unrest that unfolded here last night,

25
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.039
the violence that erupted here. As
to the police, well right now they've

26
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.039
given that dispersal order, they've told
people to go. But what's different about

27
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.759
this entire situation than what happened last
week at USC And yes, those protesters

28
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.960
were arrested peacefully, but they were
unable to establish an encampment like the one

29
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.800
you see here at UCLA. This
encampment, again is estimated to have upwards

30
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.080
of a thousand people in it,
plus the thousand people beyond the encampment outside

31
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.560
of these barricades, where police have
established a skirmish line. A totally different

32
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.400
situation. Those people at USC locked
arms and some cases surrendered, and right

33
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.680
now the opposite is occurring. People
inside the encampment are refusing to leave,

34
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.680
and these demonstrators are out here chanting
for them. Some of their chants say

35
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.800
free Palestine. Some of them say
from the river to to see, which,

36
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.400
of course, we know makes many
Jewish students feel unsafe here on campus.

37
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.159
They believe that is very anti Semitics. Others say they just want to

38
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:15.159
see an end to the war in
Gaza. They want Israel's bombardment to stop

39
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.039
and the killing of so many civilians
to end. So a lot of message,

40
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:25.599
different messages, but all in all
very similar. The takeaway here the

41
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.879
crew line is that these demonstrators say
they're not leaving at USC. They did

42
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.639
leave, in some cases volunteer to
be arrested. You're Michael Aaron. Let's

43
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.039
get your updates that you have on
UCLA please hi. Yeah. So,

44
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:46.000
around twenty CHP officers are standing in
line a few meters away from the camp

45
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:47.960
barrier, and the Daily Bruin,
which is the student run newspaper, is

46
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.120
saying that this is the closest line
officers have formed tonight. A medic in

47
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.280
the camp also reportedly said LAPD told
medical staff in the area to be prepared

48
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.879
by one am m And about a
half hour ago, masked and unidentifiable individuals

49
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:11.120
were coming in through the back of
Portola Plaza and the protesters at the plaza

50
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.520
were saying shame. It's unclear who
these people were and what their affiliation is,

51
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.000
whether they're protesters, counter protesters,
people affiliated with the university or not.

52
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:26.519
And that's what the Daily Bruin is
given us right now. Thank you

53
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.879
for that erin. Unfortunately, this
is kind of the manifestation of my personal

54
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.839
fears and concerns when they had the
original order of dispersal, which was around

55
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:42.560
five o'clock or so, me personally, I was hoping that whatever was going

56
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.959
to happen would have happened soon thereafter, if only because in the intervening five

57
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:55.439
hours or so, it's become apparent
that hundreds and hundreds of people have arrived

58
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.360
on scene, even though they may
be outside the encampment. They were on

59
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.240
campus. If you see KTLA's coverage, they have their eye in the sky

60
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.959
and you can see it looks like
the only way I can describe it,

61
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.800
it looks like a presidential inauguration where
you look at the ball and you see

62
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.240
the thousands of people on them all. That's what it looks like. There

63
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:20.839
are literally thousands and thousands of people
on that campus. Saying nothing of the

64
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:29.319
law enforcement presence who has been charged
with maintaining order and control if and when

65
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.279
LAPD should move in to clear that
encampment. It is a massive undertaking.

66
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.839
The encampment I would say, just
from what I could see was maybe if

67
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.720
you talk in terms of tents,
it's maybe ten by twenty as far as

68
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.079
number of tents ten across and maybe
twenty rows back. You heard in KTLA's

69
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:54.600
reporting, it was a massive encampment. I don't think that even did it

70
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.199
complete justice as far as how large
it was. It's one thing to talk

71
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.839
about it, but it's another thing
to see how many people, just from

72
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:09.399
the sense of protesters who are in
that encampment, who presumably would be cleared

73
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.399
out in the near future, saying
nothing of all the people who are on

74
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.720
campus and you can tell most of
these people are not students just looking at

75
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.000
them. They have no connection to
UCLA whatsoever. And KTLA is showing right

76
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:30.879
now LAPD and LA County Sheriff walking
in with zip ties seemingly getting closer and

77
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:39.319
closer to their next maneuver. That's
how I'll characterize it as far as what

78
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.360
they're going to do in the coming
hours. So we're going to continue to

79
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.759
watch this. We'll see if we
can check in with Chris Adler, who

80
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.279
was my words, still stuck on
scene there. She was trying to leave

81
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.360
and could not leave. Earlier,
we had checked in with kfi's owned Michael

82
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.519
Monks a few moments ago. We'll
try to check in with Chris Adler when

83
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.560
we come back and get more on
the latest as it is happening on the

84
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.920
campus of UCLA. Don't go anywhere. We'll have everything for you. It's

85
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.040
KFI AM six forty. I'm O
Kelly. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio

86
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.560
app. You're listening to Later with
Mo Kelly on demand from KFI AM six

87
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.399
forty. Mo Kelly here as we
continue to follow what is happening on the

88
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.519
campus of UCLA. Just checking in
with KTLA and their coverage. Correct,

89
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.519
this is looking we're looking from the
east to the west, so no,

90
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:36.199
it's actually it's actually facing those steps
where the La County shares were at on

91
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:42.360
this line here earlier. So they
quickly moved those sets apply WITHOO there to

92
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.480
make a fence there when those officers
or those deputies were over there in that

93
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.480
area. But they have since Budan. All right, we remain on scene

94
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.120
and over the scene. Okay,
we'll continue to follow that. Something I

95
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.839
noticed last segment. I was talking
about the visuals of thousands of people on

96
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.279
UCLA's campus, and I want to
connect it back to what we were discussing

97
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.800
earlier with Tiffany Hobbs, who was
still with us. Tiffany was telling us

98
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:16.519
how these agitator organizations had put out
this all call for people to a mass,

99
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.319
not only on the UCLA's campus,
but around southern California and actually around

100
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.199
the nation on different campuses, to
rise up, escalate, agitate my words,

101
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.639
and so forth. We are now, I can say confidently, we

102
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.559
are now seeing the results of that. Are we not, Tiffany? We

103
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.720
are MOE. And you said earlier
that there were thousands of people there thousands,

104
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:45.559
and that's no luck, that's not
happenstance, that's completely organized on this

105
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.360
May first May Day. So what
I saw, what I've been seeing on

106
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:56.200
social media is more and more groups, many that are just they may have

107
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.559
five followers, they may have five
thousand followers, five hundred thousand, But

108
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:07.879
more and more organizations you can find
are reposting, sharing this flyer that is

109
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.720
saying go to UCLA, make it
to UCLA, protect, defend all of

110
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:20.440
this language that then riles up people, gives people a purpose and sends them

111
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.480
to the campus of UCLA or whatever
institution they want to embark on. And

112
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.679
again you can't filter out who is
expecting to be peaceful or planning to be

113
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.000
peaceful and calm and who isn't.
So you're getting thousands of people they're at

114
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.039
UCLA as we can see, many
of whom, again have no direct ties

115
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.679
to the university as well. I
saw a flyer that has been circulating on

116
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:52.759
social media that is asking that UCLA
faculty call off of work in solidarity tomorrow.

117
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.639
So they're asking faculty to essentially not
cross the protest lines by showing up

118
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:05.720
to work tomorrow as an organized show
of protests to not go to work.

119
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:13.919
That's again circulating amongst many different organizations
online instigating. Clearly, let's go to

120
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.360
kfi's own Chris Adler, who is
on scene at UCLA. She's been for

121
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.840
a number of hours at this point. Chris, what do you see?

122
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.279
What do you hear? Okay?
Hey Mo, can you hear me?

123
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:30.440
Yes? I hear yes, Okay. Sorry, We've got chanting and shouting

124
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.000
from all directions here. So right
now I'm standing in front of a line

125
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.840
of HP officers that are facing the
camps with the pro Palestinian protesters who are

126
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.799
waving Palestinian flags and shining class flights
out in their eyes and in my eyes

127
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.799
and anyone's eyes that are out here
now. DCCHP officers have helpt. They've

128
00:10:52.840 --> 00:11:01.000
got lesliego round weapons, and they've
got they've got gas around their thighs,

129
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.360
So they are prepared for something tonight. And I do believe that they are

130
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.919
preparing to move in at some point. The only thing is we just don't

131
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.440
know exactly what time. But I
would bet on them moving in to break

132
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.360
up this camp tonight. These protesters
have not let up in the camp.

133
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.320
How they have not let up on
outside, so there's a barrier. So

134
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.879
there's the camp and then there's a
big grass area where all of the police

135
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.320
are, and then on the other
side there's another sense that's separating the public.

136
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.919
And we've got probably two to three
hundred people lined up pro Palestinian supporters

137
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:48.440
that are supporting this camp, that
are supporting these protesters, and we've got

138
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.440
about two hundred police officers, HP
and LAPD still lined up. Just they've

139
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.600
created a wall. They've created a
wall near the camp. They've created a

140
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:05.840
wall near those protests on the outside. So right now we have had helicopters

141
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.200
above us the entire time. I
have not seen the helicopters let up.

142
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:16.200
If one leaves, another one come. So it's it's a very highly anticipated

143
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.559
moment. Everybody's watching and waiting for
something to happen. And the way that

144
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.559
the police officers and CHP are organized
here, it looks like they are going

145
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.559
to move in, but again,
well we just don't know when that's going

146
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.159
to happen. They may be waiting
for the choppers to go away, they

147
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.080
may be waiting for media to die
down, they may be waiting for these

148
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.279
outside protesters to go to go away. You know. I thought, well,

149
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.840
if they're going to move in,
why would they do it at night?

150
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.559
Isn't that kind of a disadvantage for
them? But right talking, I

151
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.120
was talking to somebody and they said, no, they might want to do

152
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:58.399
that because they know that the protesters
are more subdued. They're sleeping, and

153
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.919
we don't We don't know if they're
going to come and I would highly doubt

154
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.320
that they're going to come in through
the area where there's several barricades. I

155
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.039
would imagine that they would be using
another entrance that we are unaware of.

156
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.200
They seem to be very organized.
We watched these officers come out of buildings.

157
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.559
We didn't know that they were in
there, and we just saw dozens

158
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.759
of them come out in tactical gear. So they had been organizing and they

159
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.320
had a plan all along. It
seems from what you can see and what

160
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:39.759
you have seen, is there any
measurable counter protester contingent pro Israel, I

161
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.799
haven't seen it. If it's out
there, I have not seen it.

162
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.399
I thought earlier today, but I
don't see it now. And there's a

163
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.120
sea of pro Palestinian protesters on either
side of me. I have not seen

164
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.840
and I'm sorry an Israeli flag.
I have not seen an Israeli supporter,

165
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.840
as you know. Basically right now
at this time, I haven't seen it.

166
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.200
MO. I asked you this earlier, and I'm going to ask you

167
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.320
this again because a lot of time
has passed in between. Has the university

168
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:18.360
sent out any official message to the
media or to the protesters in this moment

169
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.519
or have they been radio silence.
I don't want to say that they've been

170
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.039
radio silent because I am not aware. If they have done something out,

171
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.559
I have not been made aware of
it. They have been silent for the

172
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.360
most part. I've tried several times
to reach out to UCLA, but we're

173
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.559
not you know, I've been all
over social media. I've been scouring,

174
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.799
and I haven't seen anything put out
police. Of course, you know,

175
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.679
they won't they won't talk. They're
just here and they're just standing and in

176
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.360
order and doing what they are planning
to do. But no, I haven't

177
00:14:54.360 --> 00:15:00.919
heard anything from UCLA. But it
looks like from this organization from the police,

178
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.080
there is obviously some kind of coordination
that the university has has has coordinated

179
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.600
with the police, because they're here
and it's very they're very organized, so

180
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.159
it looks like there were some behind
the scenes discussions of the plan if these

181
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:20.240
protesters didn't break up as ordered by
the university. I wonder you mentioned law

182
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.080
enforcement and also how protesters have been
trying to antagonize law enforcement through use of

183
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:33.600
flashlights and also channing slogans. To
the best of your knowledge, has law

184
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.440
enforcement been able to be disciplined and
not re engage or respond to the protesters.

185
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.039
They have not. They've been very
orderly, very professional, standing guard

186
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.240
Some of them have been standing out
here for hours like I've been. They've

187
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:54.679
been just standing here and just watching, you know, very very very orderly.

188
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.159
They have not engaged. And right
now I'm standing between the camp where

189
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.480
they're hammering. They're hammering right now. I don't know if you can hear

190
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.360
it. They're hammering on the plywood. They've got power tools back there where

191
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:11.559
they've reinforced this plywood. I'm standing
between the camp and between HP a line

192
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.279
of CHP officers right now. They
are just watching and these protesters at times

193
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:26.240
have taunted them, have verbally shouted
verbal a faults at them, and just

194
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.919
kind of you know, obscenities,
saying shame on you, lap D.

195
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.240
Shame on you. You guys should
have been here yesterday. You were here.

196
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.120
So they've been shouting at them and
shining lights in their faces, but

197
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:44.200
police have not reacted. They've just
stood their grounds. Have you seen well,

198
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.519
we know that the protesters, at
least outside the encampment, they've shown

199
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.240
that they have gas masks. They
are ready for this moment. Have you

200
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.200
seen any weapons or any type of
objects which may be used as weapons.

201
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.360
We know that last night there were
fireworks employed. Have you seen anything similar

202
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:07.079
to that? I have not.
I have not, But within the camp

203
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.599
they seem to have been able to
get a lot of different supplies. They've

204
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.519
got power tools in there. We
know right now something's going on over here.

205
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.920
There's there's a there seems to be
a side protest on the side of

206
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.759
the building outside of the camp.
It looks like it's getting pretty rowdy over

207
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.000
here with polife. I'm not sure
what's going on because we can't get out

208
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.720
there, but there's a lot of
shouting right now, a lot of lights

209
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.000
in this area. Looks like there's
a lot of CHP officers in this corner,

210
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.480
the corner of this this encampment.
Mow and you can hear them.

211
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:49.480
They're shouting and they're cheering right now. Oh, okay, they're just they're

212
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.640
just they're getting rowdy. They're getting
they're rallying right now and getting very rowdy.

213
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.880
It's getting very loud. So I'm
watching I'm watching police right now.

214
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.359
They're kind of kirking up a little
bit and looking all So there's definitely something

215
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:07.440
going on in that area. I
don't know if it's they're just cheering,

216
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.440
doesn't look like it's getting physical at
this time. I was speaking to Michael

217
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:17.079
Monks not too long ago when I
was asking him about freedom of movement,

218
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.480
as all media in one place or
do you have the autonomy to move around

219
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:27.039
and engage some of the protesters.
So right now where I'm at, I'm

220
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:33.519
inside with the police officers and I'm
barricaded. I'm barricaded from the camp.

221
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.599
I can I can shout and speak
to the protesters inside of the camp.

222
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.480
I can talk to the officers,
and I can engage with the protesters that

223
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.319
are on that are on the upper
side of the metal sense, that are

224
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.240
in the public. But they will
not let us in. They will not

225
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:52.599
let us out. You can't get
in or get out right now. It's

226
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:59.039
on the lockdown. Campus. Security
that's here said that we can't go in

227
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.759
and we can't go out, that
they've been given orders by l a p

228
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.640
D. But I asked l A
p D. L a PD said they

229
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.200
did not give those orders. So, uh, you know, so I'm

230
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:12.759
still here both. I'm still here
in the thick of it. But yeah,

231
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:18.119
but I have I have to rerain
here to speak to anybody I can

232
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.839
shout to these protesters there. There
are protesters in the camp right now that

233
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.319
are that are peeking over. They're
picking over the camp, they're peeking over

234
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.000
the plywoods. They're looking at the
officers, they're looking at everybody here on

235
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:33.599
site. So I could talk to
them. Theoretically, they may not want

236
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.480
to talk back. Like I said, they have not been very friendly with

237
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.240
the media. Well, all I
can say is continue to be safe,

238
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.359
continue to do a fantastic job of
bringing us what is happening on the ground.

239
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.160
And I'm quite sure if it's not
me, it'll be Tim Conway Junior

240
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.079
checking in with you as the night
progresses, because I have a sneaking suspicion

241
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.640
that you're not is not going to
be over anytime soon. I don't think

242
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:04.359
so, I don't see that happening
both, So well, until we talk

243
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.039
again, be safe, all right, all right, thank you, I'll

244
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.000
talk to you. All right.
It's Camp I AM six forty. I'm

245
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:17.480
O Kelly. As we continue to
cover what is happening at UCLA, law

246
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.200
enforcement presence seems to be getting ready
to make their next maneuver. We can't

247
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:27.440
say exactly what that is because we
just don't know, but tensions are heightened.

248
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.759
People are in anticipation of something that's
going to happen. You have students,

249
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.480
you have protesters, you have onlookers. There are thousands of people who

250
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:45.799
have either descended onto UCLA's campus or
we're already there the tent encampment city.

251
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.680
My phrase is huge number. That
what I've heard, as many as one

252
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.160
thousand people. So we will continue
to follow this and give it to you

253
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.720
as it happens, but keep it
right here. You won't miss a thing.

254
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.680
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty,

255
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.720
and we're continuing to follow the protests
and also the law enforcement response at

256
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:17.880
UCLA, and just something that I
could glean from watching some of the television

257
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:22.640
news coverage. This is not going
to be a simple or even a smooth

258
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:30.440
removal of the encampment, if only
because they have these metal barriers around the

259
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.799
encampment, which is going to be
an obstacle. And they also have these

260
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:42.319
plywood eight by eight feet by four
feet barriers which have been put up which

261
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:47.640
obscure the view of the protesters and
also is going to make it more difficult

262
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.119
to get to them. In fact, I want to go to KTLA right

263
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.759
now. There seems to be law
enforcement movement at the moment. See the

264
00:21:52.799 --> 00:22:02.359
officers exited Haines Hall. This new
crush of cops here adding to the skirmish

265
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.839
line that already exists here on the
east side of the lawn east of this

266
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:10.079
encampment here on the campus of UCLA. And that's really gotten some of these

267
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.680
really gotten some of these demonstrators who
have surrounded this new barricade has really gotten

268
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.599
them kind of agitated. You can
hear them chanting, shame on you.

269
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.480
They're saying that to the police right
now. They're chanting shame on you.

270
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:32.000
As more officers arrive to essentially reinforce
strengthen the skirmish line, which is already

271
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.240
pretty thick sheer Michaeh John, have
you had a chance to talk to any

272
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.640
of the protesters tonight, in the
face of the law enforcement presence, in

273
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:45.359
the face of the order to disperse, what are their intentions to remain until

274
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:53.039
they're arrested? Michael. We did
speak with some protesters earlier today, and

275
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.640
you know, of the ones we
spoke to, most say that they aren't

276
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.599
going anywhere now. If you're hard
pressed to get anyone from inside the encampment

277
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.599
to talk to you, especially after
dark, they're all pretty unified and not

278
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:12.400
speaking to the press. However,
we did speak with some of them earlier

279
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.279
today and they say they are determined
to stay. So that means it's totally

280
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:26.640
a matter of time until law enforcement
have to make good on their orders to

281
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:32.359
come in and forcibly remove people.
Now, we just saw this new line

282
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.200
of police officers move in here to
add to the skirmish line, and right

283
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:45.240
now they do not seem to be
acting with a ton of urgency despite coming

284
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.720
out information and getting in line here
strength strengthening the skirmish line. But there

285
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:56.559
are certainly a lot of police officers, many more than there were just a

286
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:02.119
few moments ago, Kui, can
you pan the camera almost do sort of

287
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:07.079
like one. Okay, we'll continue
to monitor that and to recap. There

288
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:12.640
are more police who have joined what
it's called the skirmish line, lining up,

289
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.559
not necessarily with any sense of urgency, but clearly preparing to move forward,

290
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.720
seemingly in the somewhat near future.
Aaron from the newsroom also has an

291
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:29.039
update. Aerin, Hh, yeah, so we saw smoke of some sort

292
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.160
go off. Unclear what it was, but you are seeing a lot of

293
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.440
officers move in. But the Daily
Bruin also said that one of the associate

294
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:45.440
professors of political science is that he
says that there are professors inside the camp

295
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.279
and they are ready to be arrested
alongside students who have done nothing but talk

296
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:56.640
about genocide and talking about peace in
Palestine. So that's what they're saying on

297
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.240
the Daily Bruin. You may not
know this, but if you happen to

298
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:06.960
know this, please let me know. Whereas we know that Columbia was explicit

299
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.240
in the sense of people who did
not leave, people who did not vacate

300
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:17.319
the encampment, they would be suspended
and also expelled. I have not seen

301
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:22.480
or read that's the same threat being
levied at these protesters. And since you

302
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:29.759
also say that professors have joined this
protest, I wonder how they will be

303
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.160
handled by the university as well.
Have you seen anything in your news gathering

304
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:40.880
which speaks to how these students,
who those who are students will be handled

305
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:42.799
if and when they're arrested. I
have not. I have not seen the

306
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.759
same language use used by USC and
other universities, nothing about being expelled.

307
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.400
But I have seen that it is
an unlawful gathering and then they are moving

308
00:25:53.440 --> 00:26:00.599
around. And also this associate professor
who was commenting to the Daily Bruin faculty

309
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:06.240
member for the of Faculty for Justice
in Palestine, So that must be one

310
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.599
of the groups that's organizing with the
camp. But I have not seen a

311
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:17.119
lot from the university on how they're
responding, mostly just that classes were canceled

312
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.319
today and things are moving remote tomorrow
and Friday. Okay, thank you,

313
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.720
Aaron, and also Tiffany Hobbes,
you have hit me with a message saying

314
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.000
you have some updates as well.
Sure. So, I've been looking at

315
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:36.680
images at UCLA via Reuters and via
other accounts, and one account the People's

316
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:42.559
City Council LA, which considers itself
to be an anti capitalist, anti imperialistic

317
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:49.000
organization. They are there as well. They have posted pictures of Royce Hall

318
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:56.920
covered in pro Palestine graffiti. So
there are palettes, there are multiple phrases

319
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:03.279
and slogans spray painted on the out
outside of this historic building at UCLA,

320
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:08.079
and uh, I'm sorry. Actual
vandalism, which we usual vandalism, actual

321
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.200
vandalism, not artwork. No,
this is vandalism for the purpose of vandalizing.

322
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.920
And also I saw the officers moving
up to the encampment at the entrance

323
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:25.000
of the encampment and there is video
of the officers getting right to the entrance

324
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.680
of the encampment and a line of
protesters it looks to be about one hundred

325
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.400
people, can't say if they're students
or otherwise. There. Once the officers

326
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:41.480
got within touching or reaching distance,
these people, these protesters all either kneel

327
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.839
down or sat down. They kind
of just dropped out a view and the

328
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:51.880
officers paused. So what's being said
online is that that's a strategy to get

329
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.039
the officers to stop, and it
looked like it worked at that point.

330
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.839
And those online are saying that they
are holding the line they are holding the

331
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.519
line. I want to check back
in with KTLA. It's what I can

332
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:11.480
see that LAPD has a relaxed presence
that they don't seem as if they're eminently

333
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.720
going to do something with checking with
KTLA. Of the command posts, as

334
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.920
I come out wide, you see
the parking lot. They're at the federal

335
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:25.599
building here. As I tilt down, you can see the sheriffs head command

336
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:30.000
posts set up here, a large
command post vehicle here, and then the

337
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.200
rest of the sheriffs in this area. But I was mentioning that the sheriff's

338
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.759
buses, they are lined up here
on the south side. There's about eight

339
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.000
or nine of them lined up here, ready to move when they need them

340
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.480
to. So again the Sheriff's department
set up here ready to move in if

341
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.559
they need those buses to make any
arrests. And again this is the entire

342
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.400
command post that you see in a
white shot. There's the four or five

343
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.759
freeway, but the California High Patrol
has many vehicles stationed here at this point.

344
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.519
So the indication is that the number
of long enform we see is not

345
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:07.680
necessarily the number of law enforcement that
is in place on the scene here it

346
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.400
appears as though there are potentially many
hundreds more law enforcement. Let's check you

347
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.839
with's own Michael Monks, who is
on scene. Still, Michael, what's

348
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.480
going on? I'll tell you what
has changed in this scene here is as

349
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.359
we talked earlier, there's, of
course the large encampment, but there's this

350
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:29.240
swelling protests in the perimeter of it, and it's getting loud and rowdy.

351
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:34.519
But it a cascaded to a series
of booze when suddenly dozens of police officers

352
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:41.119
poured out of two buildings and are
now forming a what appears to be a

353
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.519
protective wall, which may indicate that
some further action is to be taking place

354
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:51.680
beyond this site. My suspicion would
be that these officers just lined up around

355
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.759
this secondary protest in case something goes
down at the nucleus where the encampment is

356
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:02.000
and people start to make a rush
towards that area. So this scene has

357
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.640
shifted here, and as we talked
earlier, there's just a sense of anticipation

358
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.759
and waiting for whatever spark to ignite
whatever is going to go down here.

359
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.079
It felt like we took a step
closer to that just moments ago. I

360
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:21.480
hear people chanting. Am I hearing
protesters or people who have come to the

361
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:27.720
encampment in anticipation these I am here
the protesters outside the encampment who are now

362
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:32.759
not only blocked off by fencing,
but now this row of police officers who

363
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.119
just poured out very dramatic scene out
of these buildings to line up. I

364
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:38.960
don't know what, of course,
I'm not in the law enforcement, so

365
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.279
I don't know what the cue was
for that or what's coming after it,

366
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.039
but it's certainly caught everybody's attention because
it shifted the scene here dramatically. And

367
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:55.759
so we're surrounded by a significant group
of secondary protesters who have come here to

368
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.359
show their support for Palestine based on
their clothing and their chain. But the

369
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:06.039
encampment is about, you know,
fifty yards away from this. This is

370
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.400
sort of a secondary protest, but
it's quite large in its own right,

371
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:14.599
hundred's deep, probably five hundred,
six hundred people lined up here, and

372
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:21.039
now this wall of police officers dividing
that group from reaching the encampment. Should

373
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.400
any type of movement be made,
is there any type of public information officer,

374
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.720
anyone from LAPD or law enforcement who
was giving any type of information or

375
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.720
offering that there might be a media
update, or is it just complete silence

376
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:40.680
from them. I don't want to
say that it's silence. We do not

377
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.279
have like a media staged area,
or you might be able to go and

378
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.000
get some information on the fly.
So you've been talking to Chris Handler all

379
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.440
evening. I've not even seen her
yet. We can't get to each other

380
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.720
based on conditions here, so we've
been trying. I've been trying to relieve

381
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:02.720
her and we've not physical contact.
We've been communicating via text messages and obviously

382
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.599
monitoring each other's reports, but she
is where I can't get and she can't

383
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:14.240
get. I'm mostly with the secondary
protest that has swelled to be a pretty

384
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:19.640
significant number of folks. Frankly,
this secondary protest here at UCLA is larger

385
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:24.279
than the protest eye witnessed last week
at usc and its entirety. The UCLA

386
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:30.160
protesters, whichever group that you are
nearest to, have they tried to engage

387
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.039
you or other members of the media. Is there a message that they're trying

388
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:38.279
to convey to the larger public outside
of chanty to the masses, note mostly

389
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:44.680
just the chanting and a lot of
similar responses when you talk to them individually

390
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:50.279
about what their positions are. The
group here who form the core of the

391
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:55.599
student protest movement on USC's campus,
have listed their demands of this university,

392
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:02.559
which includes what they characterize as divestment
from military connections and Israel itself and those

393
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.359
sorts of things. Mostly, it's
just they are calling for an end to

394
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:14.000
what they see as a genocide in
Gaza and for a ceasefire in that war

395
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.279
between Israel and Hamas. It's one
thing to hear it is another thing to

396
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:22.720
see it, but I can't feel
it. How would you characterize the level

397
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:27.119
of tension. There's anticipation, but
that doesn't mean that there is an expectation

398
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:31.519
of something getting out of hand.
How would you describe the feeling of the

399
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:37.480
moment where you are, Like I
noted just moments ago, when those police

400
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.000
officers came pouring out of these buildings, it shifted the sense a little bit.

401
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.680
We talked earlier and there was a
sense of anticipation. Then it's only

402
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:51.319
grown. I think the violence here
last night has put a lot of ideas

403
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:55.079
into people's minds about what could be
possible here, and with word that law

404
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.759
enforcement has told this encampment that it's
time to get rid of this thing this

405
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.720
it's time to disperse and clear this
campus of this protest. How are they

406
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.400
going to do that? What does
that look like? And so I think

407
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.679
the anticipation is probably centered around a
lot of our imagination right now. Whether

408
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:15.679
you're deeply involved in this protest movement, whether you're an observer who came from

409
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:20.039
off campus, or whether you're a
journalist who is covering this thing today,

410
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.480
what's going to happen next is the
question on everyone's mind, and that naturally

411
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:30.960
creates a heightened sense of anticipation.
So nothing violent right now, just a

412
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:37.440
lot of concern and anticipation. Since
you said you haven't been able to get

413
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.280
to Chris Adler, I'm going to
have to ask you a question that I

414
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:44.280
asked her, just in case that
you may have information that she did not

415
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:49.679
have. Has there been any type
of communication from the university. Have they

416
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.199
sent out any message to the best
of your knowledge, saying what is going

417
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:57.960
to happen to protesters if they are
arrested, If they're students and they're trying

418
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.719
to graduate and they're also participating in
this protest, you know, of anything

419
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:07.559
of where the university university stands at
this point, not on that key point,

420
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:13.039
but what I have been told,
as you know back channel, is

421
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:20.079
that the university administration is I think
I want to be careful how I characterize

422
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.880
this. Obviously, law enforcement will
be in charge of how any action takes

423
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:30.639
place here, but I think in
order to instigate the action, the university

424
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:36.079
is in a strong position to determine
whether anything like that moves forward, and

425
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:39.360
so that's probably where their focus is
right now. I know earlier in the

426
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:46.239
day there were interactions between law enforcement
and students involved in the protest about what

427
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.760
the consequences might be for participating in
this, but that's also been one of

428
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.920
the demands of the protests groups,
is that there should be amnesty for folks

429
00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:13.199
who have brought this scene to campus. Am I still with you? Looks

430
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:16.159
like we lost MO for a moment. I do have an update to Michael

431
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:20.920
if I can ask you, there's
been a report this is tiffical. Hey,

432
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:22.000
Tiffany, here's got here? He
is. Yeah, I'm sorry,

433
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:25.000
I just have a little technical glitch
there. Michael wants you to continue to

434
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:29.280
be safe. You're doing a wonderful
job. I know, like I told

435
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.480
Tiffany, your night is not about
to be over anytime soon, So pace

436
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.400
yourself. We'll bring it as it
comes. Mo ca If I AM six

437
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:43.880
forty, we're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with

438
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:49.360
Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM
six forty. Mo Kelly with you until

439
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.840
the top of the hour. As
we continue to follow what is happening at

440
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:58.519
UCLA, and I think in my
last conversation with Michael Monks he characterized it

441
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:04.960
perfectly. There's seems to be anticipation
of something which is going to happen.

442
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.079
There are thousands of people, no
exaggeration, thousands of people who are not

443
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:15.800
in the encampment, and it's estimated
that a thousand people or so are within

444
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:22.679
the encampment. I can't estimate how
many law enforcement officers are on scene,

445
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:29.639
but I do know that LAPD has
the most officers there. There's also CHP,

446
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.880
there's Beverly Hills PD, Santa Monica
PD that I've been told, and

447
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:42.039
possibly even Culver CITYPD. This anticipation
is growing by the hour. More and

448
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:47.880
more people are finding their way onto
campus. No violence has transpired as of

449
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:53.039
yet from what I know, there
has been a report or two of vandalism

450
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:59.679
on Royce Hall. There was even
a report of someone scaling the side of

451
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:05.400
Power Library, but nothing substantial from
what I know at this point, has

452
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:08.480
happened. Tiffany Hobbs, you may
have some other information. That is the

453
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:15.440
information that I have mode that the
Powell Library has been scaled. So multiple

454
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.840
people have spotted this person on top
of Powell Library, and right now the

455
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.800
person is just waving a Palestinian flag. There doesn't seem to be any real

456
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:34.280
disturbance or urgency to get this person
down, but they are there. And

457
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:39.280
police have also been said to be
entering a building on campus and all of

458
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:45.199
their swat gear or all of their
tactical gear. So it is continuing to

459
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:50.079
escalate. And I imagine someone on
the roof is a really bad sign because

460
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:55.679
that means that something somewhere was breached. We are monitoring different news sources.

461
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:01.719
We have obviously two Cafe reporters on
scene. But I wonder, Tiffany,

462
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:07.159
and this is a question for basically
anybody in the newsroom or who's producing tonight,

463
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:13.480
whether we know that any of this
has spilled over to USC or other

464
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:19.199
campuses because we know of this concentrated
law enforce law enforcement presidence on this one

465
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.639
campus. Even though LAPD may be
under tactical alert, we know that a

466
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:28.800
lot of resources have been committed to
this one particular location. And when we

467
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.599
talk about outside agitators, some may
look at this as an opportunity elsewhere.

468
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:38.360
Have you seen anything of anything jumping
off on other campuses specifically at this moment,

469
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:45.679
not to this extent. There are
small groups who could be considered encampments

470
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:52.280
on cal State LA's campus, cal
State Northridge's campus, and again USC has

471
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:58.320
an encampment and they are refusing to
move to the space designated by the university

472
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:04.840
president as a a space for them
to enact their protesting rights. So things

473
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.960
are calm. I think all eyes
are on UCLA to see how this plays

474
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:14.079
out well. We will continue to
watch this. Don't go anywhere because CAFI

475
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.840
is not leaving this story. We
have everything that you need, We have

476
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:21.280
