1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.

2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 2>It's always a pleasure and honor spending time with you.

3
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Special coverage today of the ongoing protests and then the response,

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 2>and now National Guard is on the ground. So we'll

5
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 2>be turning with our reporter Michael Monks, who's kind of

6
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 2>bouncing between downtown and the detention center in Alameda Street.

7
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>So we'll check with Michael Monks here very shortly as

8
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>we continue here for the next couple of hours. More

9
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 2>protests are scheduled today, and I think sometimes we tend

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>to conflate the word protest with riot. There are more

11
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>protests scheduled today at two o'clock. Now will those turn violent?

12
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Will they turn unruly? That remains to be seen. Protesting

13
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>still allowed, unruly violence not allowed. The governor has said

14
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that he's that the bringing on of the National Guard,

15
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>the militarization of the police, is going to escalate things

16
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 2>that is inflaming and already tense SITUATIONUA. The President had

17
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>remarked in the past that he wished he had responded

18
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>more forcefully in his first term when the Black Lives

19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Matter protests erupted, and he said the next time around

20
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to wait. This seems to be that

21
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>example of the next time around, the first time that

22
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>the president has called for the National Guard without consultation

23
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>from a governor since I believe Alabama nineteen sixty five

24
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>when they were trying to get kids into desegregated schools.

25
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>So it is an historical a time that we're saying,

26
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>we haven't seen this in sixty years that a president

27
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 2>has acted outside of a consultation with a governor to

28
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>deploy the National Guard.

29
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 3>But that is what we're seeing.

30
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>The President said he's going to send two thousand National

31
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Guards men and women. The governor says it's only about

32
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>three hundred that are here right now. We do have

33
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>an update that White House borders are Tom Holman was

34
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>talking with NBC News Jacob sober Off and said that

35
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the raids are going to continue in Los Angeles.

36
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 3>They're not going to be deterred.

37
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Demonstrations and clashes with law enforcement are not going to

38
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>stop ice efforts.

39
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>When asked what was.

40
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Different as a National Guard has never been deployed in

41
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 2>that capacity by the president, Holman said that I'm going

42
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>violent rhetoric could lead to a loss of life. This

43
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>from ABC seven. Here's what Homan said. The protesters are

44
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>purpose excuse me, purposely trying to overwhelm law enforcement. President

45
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump's bringing in the National Guard again. I want to

46
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>be clear, not just to protect the law enforcement officers,

47
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to protect this community because people are going to get in.

48
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, the rhetoric is so high against ice

49
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>officers in this city. It's a matter of time before

50
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>someone gets seriously hurt.

51
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>He continued.

52
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>If this rhetoric continues, this violence continue, someone's going to

53
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>lose their life. It's an anti Trump agenda and anti

54
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 2>ICE agenda, and they're going to keep coming. But we

55
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>got help coming and we're going to do our job,

56
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>continue doing that job. He went on to then say

57
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>that there could be charges not just against the demonstrators, protesters,

58
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>people turning violent, but actually against elected officials. Governor Gavin

59
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass could face federal charges if

60
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>their response to ICE raids exceed legal boundaries. He says,

61
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll say it about anybody, if you cross that line.

62
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien.

63
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>It's a felony to impede law enforcement from doing their job.

64
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>When asked if Bass was crossing the line, he said,

65
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 2>if she crosses that line, we'll ask the DOJ to prosecute.

66
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Do I think she's crossing I don't think she's crossed

67
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 2>the line yet, but I'm telling you the warning we're signing, Yes,

68
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the warning we're signing is we're not going to tolerate

69
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>people attacking our officers. Holman had suggested that the Attorney General,

70
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Pam Bondi, was considering charges against officials who supported the protests.

71
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>When asked, he said, I think Pambondi the Department of

72
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Justice is looking at that. And you know, like I said,

73
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 2>many times, he's elected officials or these non government organizations.

74
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 3>They can't cross the line either.

75
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we got people like you know, Hakim Jeffrey

76
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>is saying he's going to doc's ice employees.

77
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 3>So I guess we're looking at arresting anybody who disagrees.

78
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>There's a big difference between protesting, disagreeing, vehemently disagreeing, and

79
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>even that dirty word rhetoric just means talk and taking

80
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>malicious action. And one of the things that I think

81
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 2>we're starting to witness here, and we see this in

82
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>most authoritarian type regimes is that if you're not with us,

83
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you're against us.

84
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 3>In other words, if you're.

85
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Protesting the crackdown on illegal immigration, which is which is

86
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>a quite visible crackdown. The numbers are not exorbitant, the

87
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 2>numbers aren't crazy. The numbers are in line with what

88
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 2>we've seen with previous presidents. But what we're seeing is

89
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>a very public display of might. So we've got ice

90
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>that's going out, we want to make sure there's cameras

91
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 2>on them.

92
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 3>We've got the.

93
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Homeland Security Secretary who's gonna go out and she's gonna

94
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>put on her bullet proof vest and she's going to

95
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>go out there and accompany these officers and make sure

96
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>there's cameras on them. And then we're seeing crackdowns on

97
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 2>people who are by no means a threat to their communities.

98
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>We're seeing crackdowns on people that have been members of

99
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the community for years. We're seeing crackdowns on kids nine

100
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>year olds, and they're all very visible. And this is

101
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>a bit of signaling to the base that the president

102
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>is doing what he promised. He is getting rid of

103
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>anyone who is here without documents, and those documents are

104
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>the most important things. And so when people stand up

105
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and they say, how dare you? And we've seen this

106
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>in red states too. There was a story that was

107
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 2>being covered with a woman who was running a cafe

108
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>in Kentucky where eighty percent voted for Trump, and Ice

109
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>came in and arrested her. She'd been there for decades,

110
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 2>and the people said, wait a minute, well that's we

111
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 2>liked her.

112
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 3>We didn't know what it was going to be about that.

113
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>We thought it was just we thought it was people

114
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 2>in California, right, And there's no there doesn't seem to

115
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>be any differentiation because for the longest time during the campaign,

116
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 2>he heard from the president and actually you heard from

117
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk back when they were still buddies, that the

118
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>goal was to get rid of the worst, right, the

119
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>gang bangers, the drug dealers, the rapists, the murderers. But

120
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>it turns out we're actually targeting the some people I

121
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 2>suppose are probably good people. Part of his his equation,

122
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>it's easier to grab somebody who's a law abiding citizen.

123
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 2>We're seeing this at a number of immigration court hearings

124
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>across the country, where you've got the person who's here

125
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>is showing up for their status hearing they're showing up

126
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 2>and then ICE pops in. The prosecutors dismissed the case

127
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 2>so that there's no reason to hold them any longer.

128
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Ice shows up and arrest them of the parking lot,

129
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>sin it all over the place, and of course this

130
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>ends up erupting into the protests that we saw, you know,

131
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend, and then obviously as things started to

132
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 2>get ugly last night, they turned very destructive.

133
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 3>KTLA was covering some of what was happening.

134
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Chaos and calamity rocked Paramount Saturday, on the second day

135
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 4>of demonstrations against federal immigration operations in southern California. KTLA

136
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 4>was on the ground and in the air, capturing the

137
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 4>explosive environment.

138
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the shots you're hearing are rubber bullets that they're using,

139
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 3>the mayor of Paramount says.

140
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 4>Tension escalated after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE,

141
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 4>and other federal agents were apparently staging at or near

142
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 4>a local home depot center, but.

143
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 5>I here in the community.

144
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Throngs of protesters gathered in the industrial area, sparking more

145
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 4>clashes between law enforcement and members of the community. Crowds

146
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.079
<v Speaker 4>taunted authorities, with some people going so far as to

147
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 4>block a US Marshal's service bus, while others hurled rocks

148
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 4>and other objects at law enforcement vehicles. According to the

149
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 4>La County Sheriff.

150
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I mean we saw the videos. It's not

151
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.240
<v Speaker 2>even a According to the sheriff, our eyes don't deceive us.

152
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 2>We saw people throwing rocks at the vehicles.

153
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:53.559
<v Speaker 4>Federal agents responded with pepperballs, rubber bullets, tear gas, and

154
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 4>flash bangs in the.

155
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Last several hours. I mean, that's like warzone, right, war zone.

156
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 3>So unfortunately the crowd.

157
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Has Honestly, if it weren't for the clothes that people

158
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>are wearing, and I'm serious right now, if it weren't

159
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 2>for the clothes that people were wearing, if you saw

160
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 2>this footage, would you know the difference between this and

161
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>say Gaza or the streets of Kiev. No, No, I

162
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 2>mean you'd see, you'd see a military presence, you'd see

163
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 2>people throwing rocks, and you'd see the military using a

164
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 2>heavy handed response. I mean, we are, we are seeing

165
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>a certain portion of civilization unraveling, and the problem. The

166
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>problem is both sides are fighting over how to be

167
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>more civilized. One side says we need to be more authoritariative,

168
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.799
<v Speaker 2>more authoritative, and if we just take control then people

169
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>will be free. Nothing's just freedom like control. Then you've

170
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>got the other side that's saying, how dare you be

171
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 2>so heavy handed? We are going to fight you with

172
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>violence because nothing says civil like violence, and nothing says

173
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>leave us alone, like come and get us. You're not

174
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 2>dealing with the you know, dealing with a whole lot

175
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>of people that are thinking through things, are you? The

176
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 2>crowd has grown, we believe at this time it's at

177
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>approximately three hundred and fifty, maybe four hundred.

178
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 3>As the crowd has grown, it has become more violent.

179
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 4>A wooden palette and then a car went up in

180
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 4>flames during the unrest, sending black smoke into the air.

181
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 3>And why are you lighting cars on fire? What the

182
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 3>hell sense does that? Bank?

183
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Ah, we're protesting, only are you then? I mean you

184
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>look like you're celebrating a Dodgers World series. Stop lighting

185
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 2>cars on fire? What is the matter with you? Not

186
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of thinking through by anybody here. The strategy

187
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 2>by law.

188
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 3>Enforcement is to crush opposition.

189
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 2>And even Tom Holman, the the borders are said, we're

190
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna get them. They're anti Trump literally says, they're anti Trump.

191
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>So is this about Trump? Is this about undocumented immigrants?

192
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Is this about getting the rapists, the murderers, the drug dealers?

193
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Trendea Ragua I always mispronounced that.

194
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.799
<v Speaker 3>What is this about? He says.

195
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 2>If the violence continues, if the rhetoric continues, someone's going

196
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 2>to lose their life. It's an anti Trump agenda.

197
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 6>U H.

198
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 3>So is that what this is about? It's all political?

199
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Is it about safety or is it about the anti

200
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Trump agenda. We'll talk with Michael Monks, who is live

201
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>and in the midst of where we assume there's gonna

202
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>be some more protests this afternoon. Those are supposed to

203
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>start at two o'clock. Will they turn unruly? Hard to say.

204
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Will the presence of the National Guard there make things safer?

205
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Or will that inflame the already burning embers of what

206
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>we saw happen yesterday.

207
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 3>We'll find out from Michael Monks. Next.

208
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

209
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 2>More protests was scheduled for two o'clock exceptternoon downtown our

210
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 2>own Michael Monks is all over and actually Michael's been

211
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>working since early this morning and he's gonna be working

212
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>throughout the day to make sure that you have the

213
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>latest the raids. Yesterday the ice raids turned destructive because

214
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you had ice raids and then you had protesters.

215
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 3>You had a staging area.

216
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.840
<v Speaker 2>In Paramount where people got word, hey, there's a staging

217
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>area going on here, and then they started protesting and

218
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>it turned ugly, which, if I'm being honest, is kind

219
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>of what I think some people wanted to see. They

220
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>wanted an excuse to come in with the heavy hand.

221
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 2>They wanted to be able to send in the military

222
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and say, look how strong, look how mighty we are,

223
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>and this administration and is not going to allow the

224
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>criminal element to run wild in our streets any longer.

225
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 3>And then they made it political.

226
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Too, the presidents of these Democrat run cities. Democratic run cities,

227
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.279
<v Speaker 2>but that's right, Democrat run cities, he said, are the problem,

228
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 2>which means that if you don't have documents, go to

229
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Orange County, because that's not they're not focusing They're not

230
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>focusing on Republican areas. So just if you don't have documents,

231
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>just grab the fam head to Orange County. You're gonna

232
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.039
<v Speaker 2>be safe there. I mean, that's not true, but probably safer.

233
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 7>We're seeing new video shows from maybe seven showing the

234
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 7>chaotic moments protesters and federal agents clashed across Los Angeles.

235
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.919
<v Speaker 8>It marked the second day in a row of unrest

236
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:52.679
<v Speaker 8>as ice rates continue. Explosive flash bangs and clouds of

237
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 8>tear gas filled downtown LA. Last night, is police declared

238
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 8>an unlawful assembly. There also appears to be some looting

239
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.480
<v Speaker 8>at a cannon store and Compton lapd sais Why are

240
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 8>you looting?

241
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 3>They?

242
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 9>Ah?

243
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what.

244
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I really support people who are here fighting for their lives.

245
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 3>And I'm gonna support him even better with these peanut

246
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.159
<v Speaker 3>m and ms.

247
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 2>But Michael Monks is KFI reporter who has been covering this. Michael,

248
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 2>I know you've been working since early this morning and

249
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff, So thank you so much for taking

250
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>time and then doing it at this special coverage broadcast

251
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>that we have going on today.

252
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Where are you now and what's the latest that you're hearing.

253
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm on Alameda Street outside the Federal Building, and I'll

254
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 5>tell you there's a lot of spray paint on the wall,

255
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.440
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of noise, and you know, you might

256
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.919
<v Speaker 5>think this is just a usual day in downtown Los Angeles.

257
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 3>You wouldn't be wrong.

258
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 5>The difference this time is that there are military guys here,

259
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:51.720
<v Speaker 5>uniformed military personnel with very large guns, with large sticks,

260
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 5>and they are lined up facing off with about one

261
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 5>hundred hundred and fifty protesters right now. It's what you

262
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 5>might describe as team a little bit of chirpiness, a

263
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 5>little bit of barking and jawing back and forth, some

264
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 5>birds being flipped.

265
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 3>That sort of thing to have no sort of action.

266
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:09.080
<v Speaker 3>But there are.

267
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 5>Military vehicles parked here, DHS police are here outside this

268
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 5>federal building right now. A lot of honking on the street,

269
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 5>honking and support, a lot of chance. But so far

270
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 5>it's just kind of a stare down.

271
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 3>Does it feel tense with this starenup?

272
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 5>No, You've got a couple of rabble rousers in the

273
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.159
<v Speaker 5>crowd that are trying to get a little more action going.

274
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.679
<v Speaker 5>Whether or not that's going to be effective is yet

275
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 5>to be seen. It's been interesting over the past few

276
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.559
<v Speaker 5>days because it's daytime right now, and it has been

277
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.519
<v Speaker 5>in the daytime where most of the violent activity has

278
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 5>taken place. It seems at nighttime it looks more like

279
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 5>this a little chippiness, a little bit of violence, not much,

280
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 5>but mostly just staring down until finally it evaporates. But

281
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.240
<v Speaker 5>it has been in the daytime where most of the

282
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 5>activity has taken place.

283
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that seems a little bit odd to me.

284
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Usually, you know, your protesters, your genuine protesters, will head

285
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>home and then you've got the rabble rousers out a

286
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 2>little bit later at night.

287
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't seem to necessarily be the case this time around them, No,

288
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 3>not at all.

289
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 5>And you know, this has drawn a pretty sizable crowd.

290
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 5>There's also apparently some demonstrations according to the laped outside

291
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 5>their Central Division office as well as on Olvera Street.

292
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 5>I've not made it over to either of those locations yet.

293
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 5>This seems to be ground zero for these protests for

294
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.240
<v Speaker 5>the past few days.

295
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 3>It's believed that some.

296
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Of the people who have been detained by ice may

297
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 5>be housed inside this building. And it is absolutely covered

298
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.639
<v Speaker 5>in profanity and a variety of different messages that have

299
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.960
<v Speaker 5>been spray painted here over the past forty eight seventy

300
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.480
<v Speaker 5>two hours. And there looks like there's some folks who

301
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 5>may be anxious to get back.

302
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 3>To that type of work. But with the military here,

303
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.080
<v Speaker 3>the vibe is a little different.

304
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 2>So what's the involvement of the LAPD right now? I

305
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 2>mean this is this is in their backyard. So are

306
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>they showing up or are they leaving everything to the

307
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 2>National Guard or to the federal enforcement.

308
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, this looks like a jurisdictional situation. This is fout property.

309
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.320
<v Speaker 5>So there is Department of Homeland Security police. They are

310
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 5>uniformed and they are wearing their heavy gear as well.

311
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.880
<v Speaker 5>They've got their mask on, they've got their weapons at

312
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 5>they're ready, and they are also surrounded by what is

313
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 5>believed to be California National Guardsmen who have been deployed

314
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 5>here at a few different sites around LA. So this

315
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 5>is not the LAPD's jurisdiction. Should it spill out into

316
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 5>the streets, should we start to see that type of

317
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 5>activity take place like we've seen the past couple of days,

318
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 5>that's where you'll start to see LAPD.

319
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Need to answer the call.

320
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 5>And that's also where we've seen conflicting reports from local

321
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.799
<v Speaker 5>officials and national officials about the speed and urgency with

322
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 5>which LAPD has responded. Because LAPD has a policy they

323
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 5>have since the seventies they don't assist in immigration enforcement efforts.

324
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 3>But they are supposed to keep the peace otherwise.

325
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 5>So whether or not they've done it on a time

326
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 5>frame that has been acceptable, that's what's been debated.

327
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 3>All right.

328
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Michael Monks is downtown, he's said, near the while we

329
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the detention center. It's the federal building

330
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:07.799
<v Speaker 2>off Alameda, and Michael, the vibe right now is chill.

331
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Have you been able to talk with any of the protesters?

332
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I just wonder what goes through their minds on a

333
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.839
<v Speaker 2>day like this when they know they're going to go protest,

334
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>They know they're going to face somebody who's holding a

335
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.839
<v Speaker 2>big gun, probably a helmet, and has been told stands still,

336
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>don't react unless you know you have to whatever. So

337
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how does one this is gonna sound silly,

338
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.640
<v Speaker 2>but I mean it. How does one just go about

339
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>their normal day as they prepare for something like this.

340
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Have you been able to talk with any of them?

341
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

342
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.400
<v Speaker 5>I think this is what we've heard from folks is

343
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 5>they're angry or they're scared, and like many protests, this

344
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.119
<v Speaker 5>is something that gives you the opportunity to let it

345
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 5>out a little bit, even if nothing is going to

346
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 5>change today. You got the shout, you got to point

347
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 5>you let some anger out. The challenge will be whether

348
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 5>people who came down to protest in a First Amendment way,

349
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.279
<v Speaker 5>in a peaceful way, even if they're a little loud,

350
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker 5>even if they're a little profane, are they going to

351
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.359
<v Speaker 5>get swept up in people that see this as an

352
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 5>opportunity to misbehave. Even if these other folks don't support

353
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.359
<v Speaker 5>the calls at hand, they just want to engage in mischief.

354
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 5>That's that's got to be some of their concerns as well. Yeah,

355
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 5>I think that's what we see so often with these

356
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 5>protests that get out of hand, is you have you

357
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.559
<v Speaker 5>have the the truble.

358
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Looting? I mean, why is anybody looting? Doesn't make any sense.

359
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>It never does whenever we see any of these protests,

360
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.200
<v Speaker 2>whether it was Black Lives Matter, whether it's this, whether

361
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 2>it's Rodney King, Why are we stealing things? It just

362
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 2>just there's no there's no logic to it other than

363
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 2>crimes of opportunity. Protesters have a very fine line that

364
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 2>they have to walk in order to garner sympathy from

365
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.799
<v Speaker 2>people that otherwise haven't.

366
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Been paying attention.

367
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.640
<v Speaker 5>And you know, you cross that fine line in the

368
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:47.799
<v Speaker 5>wrong direction, you're gonna lose folks forever.

369
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely absolutely all right, Michael Muggs at the detention center.

370
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 3>We'll check with you a little bit later on here too.

371
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Michael, thank you so much for for the ongoing coverage

372
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 2>and putting yourself there.

373
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.319
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate it, all right.

374
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking, if you're if you're somebody who

375
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>is who's big into this cause, and you're getting ready

376
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 2>and you're going to protest, and you know it's going

377
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 2>to be a big day, and you know that things

378
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 2>could potentially turn.

379
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.559
<v Speaker 3>Violent, you don't know. You hope they don't.

380
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Some do, but you know, I'm just the average Joe Schmo.

381
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm just thinking, I mean, what do you have for breakfast?

382
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.319
<v Speaker 2>It sounds facetious, but it's not think about when you

383
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 2>get up, Like you go to sleep after whatever happened yesterday,

384
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>and you're probably all wound up. You probably don't sleep

385
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 2>very well. Then you wake up and you go, okay,

386
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm going to go back downtown, so do you.

387
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>But I gotta take a shower, walk the dog, have

388
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>some oatmeal.

389
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.599
<v Speaker 3>The whole time.

390
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be this weird, almost purgatory feel before

391
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you're about to get back into what has the potential

392
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to be a very volatile situation. At the very least,

393
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 2>your plans are I'm just going to scream and I'm

394
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:01.839
<v Speaker 2>gonna let my frustrations out, as Michael said, yep, But does.

395
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 3>It does it get worse? Does it boil over?

396
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And if it does boil over, maybe they don't even

397
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 2>know where they plan on landing if things start to

398
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>get violent.

399
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Tough to say.

400
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.079
<v Speaker 2>I talked about some of the rubber bullets. You're going

401
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to hear about these rubber bullets in just a few moments.

402
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>As the protests are scheduled to begin again today. As

403
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>you hear Michael Monks say, about one hundred people already

404
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.440
<v Speaker 2>at the federal building off Alameda, and there are more

405
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 2>planning on showing up a little bit later on this afternoon.

406
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:30.640
<v Speaker 3>More on that next.

407
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

408
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.640
<v Speaker 2>First time a president has called for National Guard deployment

409
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 2>without consultation of the local governor since nineteen sixty five.

410
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.079
<v Speaker 2>So a big deal that's going on, and the National

411
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Guard has arrived.

412
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 3>They are on the scene.

413
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.880
<v Speaker 7>We're seeing new video showing the chaotic moments protesters and

414
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 7>federal agents clashed across Los Angeles.

415
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:57.680
<v Speaker 3>From maybec seven plus.

416
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 8>It marked the second day in a row of unread

417
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:08.960
<v Speaker 8>as ice rates continue. Explosive flash bangs and clouds of

418
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 8>tear gas filled downtown LA.

419
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 3>Last night. Is police declared an unlawful assembly.

420
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.640
<v Speaker 8>There also appears to be some looting at a convenience

421
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.440
<v Speaker 8>store in Compton.

422
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Lapd says, yeah, I made mention of this in the

423
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 2>last eightment. What it sense. It doesn't make any sense

424
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.160
<v Speaker 2>to go looting. But listen, if you are someone who

425
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 2>is you gotta go to the convenience store. Do you

426
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.759
<v Speaker 2>want to pick up your rock Star energy and maybe

427
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a bag of Doritos? Just be cautious. There's people out

428
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.480
<v Speaker 2>there that are looking to start looting for the sake

429
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:40.920
<v Speaker 2>of looting.

430
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 8>I guess they detained several people and eventually arrested twenty seven.

431
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 7>And this comes as the National Guard troops that President

432
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:50.640
<v Speaker 7>Trump ordered have started to arrive.

433
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 8>When assumes reporter Amanda Pelasios joins US Live from downtown

434
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.359
<v Speaker 8>Los Angeles with the breaking update.

435
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:03.039
<v Speaker 6>Amanda, good morning, yew. We've already seen a large, growing

436
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 6>National Guard presidence here in downtown LA. If you take

437
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 6>a look behind me here you can see. Troops are

438
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 6>stationed along Alameda Street as another protest is expected to

439
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 6>take place later today near City Hall.

440
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 2>And that is similar to what we heard from Michael Monks,

441
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.559
<v Speaker 2>who was there right now. We'll check with Michael here

442
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:20.440
<v Speaker 2>in about another ten or fifteen minutes too.

443
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 6>This follows President Trump's deployment of two thousand National Guard

444
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:28.079
<v Speaker 6>members in response to a series of immigration protests across

445
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 6>the city. This is new video from overnight showing the

446
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.920
<v Speaker 6>troops arrive. They stopped at City Hall after driving through Paramount,

447
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 6>then knitted up here at the Federal Building meantime. This

448
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 6>follows another night of protest all right, and video from

449
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 6>last night shows tense moments in downtown LA as protesters

450
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.720
<v Speaker 6>clashed with police, some setting off fireworks and starting fires.

451
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.720
<v Speaker 6>Officers responded with what appeared to be tear gas to

452
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.359
<v Speaker 6>disperse the crowds, and a separate incident, demonstrators were seen

453
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 6>entering a damaged convenience store in Compton and looting items

454
00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.559
<v Speaker 6>for I'm inside.

455
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we said that. That doesn't make any sense to me.

456
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 2>According to the LP, I just don't have the mindset.

457
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine with the mindset of a protester. I'm fine

458
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.839
<v Speaker 2>with the mindset of somebody that's so frustrated they have

459
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to go to the streets and they have to scream

460
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 2>and they have to say what they got to say.

461
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>And look, that's not political. We've seen that from the left,

462
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.119
<v Speaker 2>from the right. That is, someone who's passionate about their viewpoint.

463
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Our country was founded on that. But turning things into

464
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 2>looting just doesn't make any sense. There's no logic behind

465
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>it whatsoever.

466
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.480
<v Speaker 6>According to the LPD, multiple individuals who would turn to

467
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 6>the area after disperse order was issued on Elemeda Street

468
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.880
<v Speaker 6>were detained in our expect to be to be booked

469
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 6>for failure to disperse.

470
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, so that's civil infraction. They're booked for that.

471
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>My guess probably chargers are going to be dropped. We

472
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:47.079
<v Speaker 2>see this all the time when it comes to civil

473
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>civil unrest and civil disobedience, where you get people who

474
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 2>are arrested for staying in the way and not leaving

475
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>when they're supposed to. They get arrested and then the

476
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 2>charges end up getting dropped or they end up with something,

477
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, community service.

478
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Or somebody of that sort.

479
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 6>We spoke with meyerbas about the deployment of the National

480
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.200
<v Speaker 6>Guard and believes it's not necessary.

481
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh what she.

482
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 9>Said, my concern. And we have experienced civil unrest, and

483
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:12.960
<v Speaker 9>I remember nineteen ninety two very well that one of

484
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 9>the worst things you can do is have an extreme

485
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:20.240
<v Speaker 9>presence of law enforcement that gets everybody agitated, and the

486
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 9>Violence Act actually escalates it.

487
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 6>Okay, And today's protest is scheduled for two PM, and

488
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.319
<v Speaker 6>the LPED says officers and the National Guard were remain

489
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 6>stationed in this area reporting in downtown Late Amanda Plosius.

490
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, so national Guard is there. About three hundred troops,

491
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 2>is what we're hearing. The President said he was going

492
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 2>to send two thousand, but it ends up being like

493
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 2>three hundred so far. That doesn't mean we're not going

494
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>to have two thousand. It's three hundred so far. So

495
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:53.359
<v Speaker 2>larger protests expected around two o'clock.

496
00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean? Honestly, I don't know.

497
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 2>And I think this is why it's such a tense

498
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and anxious moment for everyone that's witnessing this.

499
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 3>This is happening in your city or your backyard. Right.

500
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 2>This is a Southern California issue. I can tell you

501
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the people of Omaha are not paying very close attention

502
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 2>to this. Other than the political wonks who want to

503
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.720
<v Speaker 2>be able to argue about this over coffee with someone

504
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 2>who has a different viewpoint, those are the only people

505
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.480
<v Speaker 2>who are really paying attention to this outside of our area,

506
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>other than people who may have documentation issues. They're watching

507
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.680
<v Speaker 2>what's going on in southern California as well, which is

508
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 2>part of why this show of force is so important

509
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 2>for the administration to show we're cracking down, we're doing

510
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 2>it right, We're coming after you, and if you're here

511
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>without documents, self deport now right. It's part of the messaging.

512
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.400
<v Speaker 2>What will be interesting to see is if cooler heads prevail,

513
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>And by cooler I don't mean don't yell, don't scream, whatever.

514
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 2>What I mean is they're going to be rock throwing.

515
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Will there be water bottles being thrown? Will there will

516
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.039
<v Speaker 2>we have to see tear gas and rubber bullets and

517
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 2>things of that nature. Again, rubber bullets, of course, were

518
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:13.400
<v Speaker 2>being used uh yesterday as well, and I would assume

519
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:20.640
<v Speaker 2>that the rubber bullet guns are are loaded and ready

520
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:24.039
<v Speaker 2>for today.

521
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:30.160
<v Speaker 10>The Violin clash and Paramount protesters face to face with

522
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:40.119
<v Speaker 10>Border Patrol agents one side, hurling rocks and bottles the

523
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.160
<v Speaker 10>other firing back with pepper spray and rubber bullets.

524
00:27:51.640 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Just chaos, man, Just chaos. Now, some of this, some

525
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>of this is coming from the protesters. So you're hearing

526
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 2>some of the explosions, the flash bangs, the the tear gas,

527
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 2>the rubber bullets that are coming from U enforcement. But

528
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:15.279
<v Speaker 2>some of what you're hearing, like the fireworks, those are

529
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:19.759
<v Speaker 2>coming from the protesters, which, of course, the whole situation

530
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>continues to get escalated.

531
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 10>Sources tel Fox eleven Border Patrol agents Saturday morning. We're

532
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 10>here across the street from Home Depot for a staging

533
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.079
<v Speaker 10>area possibly prepping for an immigration rate.

534
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, across the street from the Home depot. And as

535
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.279
<v Speaker 2>we know, there have been other raids that have happened

536
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>at the home depots. Look, you've got people who are

537
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:40.759
<v Speaker 2>there without documents, that are sitting out front and they're

538
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 2>they're looking for daytime labor jobs.

539
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:49.759
<v Speaker 3>It is it is, uh, it is easy pickings for ice. Boom.

540
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 2>They pull in surround these guys and you go, I'm

541
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:53.359
<v Speaker 2>gonna grab you and you and you and you and

542
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:54.799
<v Speaker 2>you and you and you and you everybody in the

543
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:57.319
<v Speaker 2>van boom and then they go boop. We got our

544
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>dozen guys today. You don't have to go tracking people down,

545
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to go finding somebody who's in a gang.

546
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's really easy pickings. That's exactly what they're doing.

547
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 10>Protesters then moved in.

548
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>You think it's get in our hand, not patrol everybody.

549
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.960
<v Speaker 10>Right now, local officials speaking with demonstrators.

550
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 1>These are hard working community members.

551
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:19.880
<v Speaker 3>People are rich. That's why I'm here.

552
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 1>These We have to protect community and make sure they

553
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>have rights like anybody else.

554
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.160
<v Speaker 3>All right.

555
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 2>So there's somebody this protesting because they believe very firmly

556
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 2>in their stance, Okay, And I think that gets lost sometimes.

557
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I think what we end up seeing is this this

558
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 2>binary choice that media is covering law enforcement and law breakers.

559
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 3>Right, there is no middle ground.

560
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 2>It's undocumented immigrants who are throwing rocks at law enforcement

561
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>who are trying to keep America safe, and that sort

562
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 2>of eliminates the gray area.

563
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 10>Video obtained exclusively by Fox shows federal authorities trying to

564
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:03.200
<v Speaker 10>leave the ten situation, taking on rocks and chunks of concrete.

565
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.039
<v Speaker 10>At least one agent injured.

566
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's not cool, alright, So we're.

567
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 10>Seeing agitators throwing items towards numbers of black and they're

568
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 10>firing right back. It feels like a war zone out.

569
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Speaker 3>Here, which is the point I made earlier. It's a

570
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:19.559
<v Speaker 3>war zone right now.

571
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And if you're a protester who's throwing something, you're an agitator.

572
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 2>If you're law enforcement who's throwing something, well, you're part

573
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 2>of a controlling the crowd perspective is everything, isn't it.

574
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.920
<v Speaker 2>We'll check with Michael Monks, who continues his reporting from

575
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>outside the detention set of the Federal Building off of Alameda.

576
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Michael Monks joins us.

577
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Next, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, a.

578
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Special coverage of the ongoing protests, and we'll find out

579
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:54.559
<v Speaker 2>exactly whether or not things are gonna get violent again today.

580
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully what we saw yesterday, the clashes that were going

581
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.599
<v Speaker 2>on to Paramount Compton are the the culmination of the

582
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:07.599
<v Speaker 2>most that we see of the protests turning violent. Michael Monks, though,

583
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>is at the Federal Building downtown, and really we had

584
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.200
<v Speaker 2>three different sites yesterday, right we had Compton, we had Paramount,

585
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and then Downtown didn't really get all that violent.

586
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:18.799
<v Speaker 3>At least that was some of the reporting I was hearing.

587
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.720
<v Speaker 5>Now downtown kept itself relatively tame last night, and it

588
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 5>looks as though the issues in Compton spilled over from

589
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 5>Paramount once the protest was pushed out of that area,

590
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:31.240
<v Speaker 5>So it did end up being at three different sites,

591
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 5>but kind of a two different events. Right here now

592
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 5>on Alameda Street outside the Federal Building, where we do

593
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.160
<v Speaker 5>see military in their full military guard, military vehicles, military weapons,

594
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:46.039
<v Speaker 5>along with Department of Homeland Security police. This crowd of

595
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 5>anti ice demonstrators has grown probably doubled in size since

596
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.079
<v Speaker 5>we talked twenty or so minutes ago, and it's gotten

597
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.359
<v Speaker 5>much louder, and now it's become a bit of a

598
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 5>traffic issue, a traffic very slow moving across Alameda, and

599
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.839
<v Speaker 5>that's because it's spilled into the streets a little bit.

600
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:05.079
<v Speaker 5>And so brazen was one guy that he's parked his

601
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.599
<v Speaker 5>mini van blocking two lanes and pulled out a couple

602
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.279
<v Speaker 5>of grills as if we were about to have a

603
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:12.559
<v Speaker 5>little asada out here on a Sunday afternoon. He seems

604
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.240
<v Speaker 5>to have been disabused of that notion and has packed

605
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 5>up his grill and is starting to leave. But you

606
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 5>hear the honking. Some of those are honks of support.

607
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Some of those are honks of frustration by people who

608
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:25.200
<v Speaker 5>maybe didn't get the mimmo and just want to get

609
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 5>out of dodge.

610
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 3>But it is, you know, there's a lot of tones.

611
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of honking, a lot of yelling, and yes,

612
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 5>the atmosphere is certainly intensified, certainly the volume, but still

613
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.240
<v Speaker 5>not a lot of violent activity right now. Just a

614
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 5>lot of shouting, a lot of jib jabbing so.

615
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Far, okay, and that's great, that's fine. What is the

616
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:48.160
<v Speaker 2>demeor of the National guardsmen that are there, the others

617
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that are standing guard.

618
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 5>Are they being chill and just observing, stonefaced, good stoic

619
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 5>standing here, just looking at the crowd, not engaging at all.

620
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.000
<v Speaker 5>They clearly got their orders and no better than to engage,

621
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.039
<v Speaker 5>so they are prepared though. They've got pretty good sized

622
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 5>guns here and pretty good.

623
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:09.279
<v Speaker 3>Sized sticks as well.

624
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 5>If these folks here's the scene, basically, we're in the

625
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 5>loading dock behind the main entrance of the federal building

626
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.400
<v Speaker 5>and there are military vehicles part tier. This protest is

627
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.440
<v Speaker 5>taking place on the sidewalk. If folks start to spill

628
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 5>into that loading dock area, the parking lot outside the

629
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 5>loading dock that's when they might meet some of these sticks.

630
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, And that's based on what I was seeing from

631
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 2>some of the other reporting, and obviously I'm working from

632
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the confines of the studio. This is kind of where

633
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 2>we saw things happening yesterday as well. Was right at

634
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the loading docks. In fact, some people I believe were

635
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>trying to get into the building yesterday and that's when

636
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 2>they were repelled out with some of the tear gas yesterday.

637
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:52.480
<v Speaker 3>But again didn't turn all that violent.

638
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Just seem to be a lot of what you're seeing today,

639
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 2>plus some people trying to get into the building.

640
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll note that.

641
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.799
<v Speaker 5>Look, there are protests happening across the country and they're

642
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 5>going to continue as long as this ice activity take place.

643
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.440
<v Speaker 3>But I would say Lay's special.

644
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 5>Breed when it comes to organizing and getting people to protest.

645
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 5>The message goes out and people respond quickly, and the

646
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.920
<v Speaker 5>numbers typically swell, and there are agitators. There are people

647
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 5>that are always at the ready to escalate the situation,

648
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:23.840
<v Speaker 5>who really want to take out more than just frustration.

649
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 5>They want to take out long simmering anger on governments,

650
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 5>on industries, on traditions, and those sorts of things, and

651
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.280
<v Speaker 5>that's what I think we've seen in La so far

652
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 5>when it has escalated. Don't see much of that right now,

653
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 5>but that doesn't mean it's not going to come. There

654
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:43.239
<v Speaker 5>is a bigger rally scheduled at about two o'clock at

655
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.480
<v Speaker 5>city Halls the few blocks from here, and we'll see

656
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:47.159
<v Speaker 5>what type of characters show up for that.

657
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.239
<v Speaker 2>So Michael Bunks is reporting from the Federal building there

658
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 2>on Alameda, and I'm looking at the I'm looking at

659
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the traffic maps right now, and that looks like such

660
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a mess.

661
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Did you say that the dude he set up his

662
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 3>grill like on Elamina.

663
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he pulled a minivan over and blocked the two

664
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.960
<v Speaker 5>right lanes and then pulled out a pair of grills

665
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 5>and looked like he was prepared to start cooking. But

666
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:11.679
<v Speaker 5>he has since packed up the grill, but his van

667
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:15.360
<v Speaker 5>is still blocking two lanes. Traffic pretty slow moving past here,

668
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 5>and that's because the sidewalk is only so large here,

669
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 5>and now it is spilling out into the street. And

670
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 5>my curiosity is now towards who's coming down for the

671
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:25.360
<v Speaker 5>city hall protests?

672
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Are they going to stop by here first? How big

673
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:27.800
<v Speaker 3>is this crowd going?

674
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 5>To get and is this crowd going to disperse and

675
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 5>go to city hall or are you going to have

676
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.039
<v Speaker 5>multiple scenes taking place?

677
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, let's check in with you again here

678
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 2>after we do news, Michael, if that's all right, because

679
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I do want to hear I know you were at

680
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 2>city hall earlier. I want to hear a little bit

681
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:43.679
<v Speaker 2>about that and then I can hear it sounds like

682
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 2>sounds like more people keep showing up the longer than

683
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:48.239
<v Speaker 2>than I keep talking. So absolutely discussing. You're just a

684
00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:50.280
<v Speaker 2>few boma sor right. Thank you very much, Michael, monksters

685
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.320
<v Speaker 2>live there. I just got word from the city of

686
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Pasadena is aware of a gathering taking place near a

687
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.800
<v Speaker 2>location within the city and members of the Pasadena Police

688
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Department are monitoring that situation. The city encourages all those

689
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 2>in attendance to remain peaceful, in law abiding is nonviolent.

690
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Protest is a powerful tool for those who seek change.

691
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 2>At this time, the city is not aware of any

692
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:14.199
<v Speaker 2>federal law enforcement action in the city, including those regarding immigration.

693
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:16.880
<v Speaker 2>So that is a statement from Pasadena. You heard Michael

694
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.599
<v Speaker 2>say that there were protests elsewhere. There are Chicago, New York,

695
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it happening. But something unique about Los

696
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Angeles is he did point out that we seem to

697
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 2>have agitators at the ready. Be curious to see if

698
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:36.239
<v Speaker 2>those agitators are at the ready to really make these

699
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:42.039
<v Speaker 2>shenanigans violent this afternoon, or if this is more about

700
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:48.800
<v Speaker 2>civil disobedience and in simply obstruction of you know, ICE

701
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker 2>doing whatever it is that they're going to do. But honestly,

702
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.360
<v Speaker 2>if ICE isn't doing anything other than detaining people, then

703
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:59.559
<v Speaker 2>there's really unless they're going out and arresting people. I

704
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know that these agitators are going to get worked up, right.

705
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:05.320
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing to really escalate the situation unless they decide

706
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to start escalating that situation. Be curious to hear from

707
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Michael Monks. We will after one o'clock about what the

708
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:13.280
<v Speaker 2>situation is at City Hall. He may mention that there

709
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.760
<v Speaker 2>were protests that were set to go on there. We

710
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 2>do hear that there's going to be protests going on

711
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:20.519
<v Speaker 2>starting at two o'clock this afternoon. So we are going

712
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.239
<v Speaker 2>to be live right up until two o'clock. Then we'll

713
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:26.440
<v Speaker 2>hand things over to another live show. I'm back this

714
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 2>afternoon at four. We'll have a bit of a recap

715
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:30.519
<v Speaker 2>of what we see going on here and then some

716
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of the other things that are going on in southern California.

717
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Of course across the United States as well. Because of

718
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.239
<v Speaker 2>the tensions that are happening, we are seeing that there

719
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:42.079
<v Speaker 2>are some other events where the organizers have just no,

720
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about protest organizers. Other organizers of other

721
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:49.159
<v Speaker 2>events in the area have just said, not really worth

722
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 2>our time. It's not worth going out there and being

723
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.440
<v Speaker 2>at the center of a news story tomorrow. So we're

724
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:58.159
<v Speaker 2>seeing some cancelations. If you had plans today, you're gonna

725
00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:59.760
<v Speaker 2>want to check and see if they're still going on,

726
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.039
<v Speaker 2>because some places they're saying nope.

727
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 11>This is from KTLA breaking news out of the city

728
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.960
<v Speaker 11>of Whittier, where a swap meet that happens typically every

729
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.400
<v Speaker 11>Sunday over at cal Hi in the parking lot has

730
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:12.639
<v Speaker 11>been canceled due to possible ice activity.

731
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Today.

732
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.519
<v Speaker 11>An email and a Facebook post was sent out informing

733
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:20.320
<v Speaker 11>all the vendors of the cancelation. Impossible ice activity again

734
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.480
<v Speaker 11>in Whittier. Also in commerce in Santa Fe Springs, the

735
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:26.559
<v Speaker 11>vendors who weren't aware were told.

736
00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.679
<v Speaker 3>To go home once they arrived. That's a booger.

737
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:33.360
<v Speaker 12>It's sad. It's sad the way we're living. People living

738
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:37.400
<v Speaker 12>in fear like this, it's incredible. I mean, I never

739
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 12>lived through something like this, where people are living in

740
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.679
<v Speaker 12>fear because they got to watch out for ice.

741
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.360
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy.

742
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:45.320
<v Speaker 12>This is crazy.

743
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:48.880
<v Speaker 11>The Whittier Swap Meet again held at the California High

744
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 11>School every Sunday in the parking lot there. The hundreds

745
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:54.880
<v Speaker 11>of weekly vendors are hopeful that they can return next week.

746
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I hope so too. Love me a good swap meet.

747
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll get the latest from Michael Munksy was

748
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.800
<v Speaker 2>at city Hall earlier. I believe he is going to

749
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>be back there for the protests That is scheduled for

750
