Transcripts For CNNW Laura 20240703

Entertaining, but they oftentimes really dont get out. They really dont go anywhere in the polls. Harry enten, thank you very much. Thank you. And thank you for watching news night. Laura coes live starts right now cnn Breaking News we are breaking night, waking news tonight out of Los Angeles Police at ucla are preparing to order proPalestinian Protesters to end their encampment. We are seeing a Massive Police presence begin to arrive at the campus. And it seemed that might seem very familiar to all of us to the nypd show of force just last night at columbia class that ucla, were already canceled today after a violent confrontation broke out between protesters and counter protesters overnight. And now were told that classes will be remote for the rest of this week. I want to go right to cnn and nick watt on the ucla campus. Nick, what are you seeing . Were seeing a Crowd Gathering right now and were hearing chants. Tell me whats going on what laura, we have just seen about dozen or two dozen more lapd officers coming out of a College Building onto this sort of buffer zone . Between the encampment, which is over there, and another group of proPalestinian Protesters who you can hear, they are behind me now, old de, we have seen the Police Presence, the Law Enforcement presence increase here. California Highway Patrol, lapd. We just saw about an hour ago filings of lapd officers wearing riot helmets carrying nonlethal weapons, and carrying flex cuffs or zip ties, which we have seen used in other encampments, sweeps to as handcuffs on the protesters. This is a another group of proPalestinian Protesters. As you can hear, chanting, jeering at the Police Waiting for what they think the rumor going around is that the police are going to go into the encampment tonight. Now, we heard earlier in the de these the president say that they would go into the camp at the appropriate time. Perhaps this is the appropriate time. Now, remember, last night here on the ucla campus, there was a very light Police Presence, just a few College Security officers. And then we saw proisrael demonstrators charging at that barricade at that camp. There were fireworks, there were chemical sprays, door assaults. It was very, very ugly. The governor of california said he was basically decried the Security Response to that. And today, as i say hundreds more officers on this campus. So the watching. Right now, nick, were saying movement right now. Yes. What appear to be getting in a line towards the entrance to a bill . They are reading themselves elbow length apart and seeming to be holding their belts, which im assuming they have there are various either zip ties or others on it and theyre trying to space themselves out. What is the building that they seem to be forming around . Is this the area of the encampment well they have been coming out at various College Buildings. The officers, the im seeing right now. So im on the east, sayyed, there are another is another large group of proPalestinian Protesters on the west side of the encampment, where im laura, im not sure what pictures youre seeing, but where i am i am seeing the lapd officers lineup facing away from the encampment towards this group of other propalestinian potentials that are being held back by barricades. Now, this has been declared an unlawful. Let me get the wording. An Unlawful Assembly by these Law Enforcement officers that came down just within the last hour or so. And this encampment has been here for a week now, it is declared an Unlawful Assembly, which perhaps would suggest that they are about to take action against that Unlawful Assembly. Now, the problem is going to be for them trying to clear out this encampment while they have hundreds of other proPalestinian Protesters on both sides of this encampment so you know, theres a possibility they might delay until this crowd thins out. We dont know, but they are looking right now as you just mentioned on the pictures, youre seeing, they are looking to be in i wouldnt say an aggressive posture, but in a posture of readiness right now, as i say though, from where i am, they are lined up facing towards the propalestinian that are protesters outside the encampment, rather than towards the encampment. I think were seeing the same texture. And nick, what is concerning, i mean, im just looking at the number of officers who appear to be lined up. We dont necessarily have the full Vantage Point in the scope of what you may be seeing on the ground. But the amount of protesters that they are facing seem to be outnumbering even the huge number of Police Officers who are there. And im looking at Bicycle Barricades and orange cones. Is that really the only thing standing between these officers and the protesters and hope that it will remain just chanting that is what theyve been trying to do for the past week. Just Security Personnel and bicycles and barricades trying to get between the sides. I dont see right now, by the way, any grote israel protesters here, any counter protesters, it is all propalestinian. So that is one headache that the Security Officials or not having to deal with, which is keeping both sides apart, which is what theyve been having to deal with over the past week. So that doesnt seem to be an issue right now. But what they are having to deal with are the few hundred kids inside that encampment and adults and then these two large throngs of proPalestinian Protesters on either side. So it is unclear exactly what they are going to do and when i dont believe it looks eminent but it does look perhaps like something is going to happen tonight. Now, listen to your, the governor of california made it very clear he wanted more security on this campus today. Theyve been trying to keep security very at an arms length here because they didnt want to antagonize this security these and apd officers are clearly antagonizing this crowd. So to what end are they going to go into the encampment or not . We do not know for sure. But as i say, the fact that they just recently clear theres an Unlawful Assembly after a week would suggest that they are perhaps getting ready for some sort of action or a really quick nick, i want to clarify one point. You said the officers turns agonizing the crowd, are they communicating . Are you mean their very presence is triggering those who are no node, just just by their very proud okay, i see that various campuses and thats what were trying to avoid here at ucla. They really tried. We didnt see lapd all week. They were very much at an armslength because they didnt want to rile up the situation. They didnt want to see what happened. For example, at you at usc when armed officers went in and it just created a terrible, seedless its a real dilemma here. We know they obviously dont want this encampment here for that much longer, but they also dont want the violence seems that he saw last night when they had a low Police Presence and they also dont really want the violence scenes that attentionally could happen if they go into this encampment heavy handed, its i mean, id say its a loselose situation, but its a very difficult situation for Law Enforcement and for College Administration a powder keg or a piece and little room in between, nick, thank you so much. Standby. Were gonna get right back to you if those police move and were going to be watching very closely, so everyone please stand by as the tension is rising, you can just feel its almost palate football. What it is nick that is describing to all of us more than 400 protesters have been arrested at University Campuses from coast to coast, over just the past 24 hours in gaza, eruptions of vandalism as well. And were learning tonight that official at the City College Of New York say that demonstrators smashed glass doors, graffitied one falls, and ransacked public property. And they say they found chains flares, a bolt cutter, and also box cutters, not what parents maybe have in mind when they send their kids off to get a college education, or students who are in fact theyre trying to get a degree with. The goal is ultimately trying to get a job we will not be moved on rough by force. We have to actually put action two are worried if we dont do that, then who are we right . I care about that. I care about action. We have to do something you cant just believe things we have to take action. Were not going to stop. And i think what administration did last night was a huge mistake on them this one let me add more fuel to the movement now, its true there appears to be a significant percentage of Outsider Agitators who were involved in the protests, less than half of those who were rested on nyus campus last week, were either students or staff what are some students about to get an education . They maybe didnt bargain for when the protests began. Well, thats a question that some ceos are now appearing to answer. Just listen for example, to this warning by exxon mobil ceo darren woods when he was asked if the term while on these campuses will actually impact who is company even hires what were seeing on campuses today in some places is something very different from that. Harassment and intimidation. I think theres no place for that, frankly, at those universities and certainly no place for that i kept me like exxon mobil so we wouldnt we wouldnt look to bring folks like that into our company. And if that action or those protests reflect the values of the campuses where theyre doing it wouldnt be interested in Recruiting Students from those campuses. That might be surprising. Were not surprising to you. Woods though, isnt alone. I mean, you have Hedge Fund Founder daniel loeb, time, the new york post, quote, were looking for high quality candidates, but were going to be looking at different places the ceo of an Executive Search Firm tells the post, quote, im hearing from people they dont want to send their kids to these places, but also from the banks that theyre leery about recruiting now from these highly visible schools. And well look to places maybe in the midwest where you dont see this type of activity of course, you are seeing some of this on different campuses all across the nation. But is this just a bluff from Corporate America or might they be serious this time, while joining me now shark tank, judge, kevin oleary is also chairman of oleary ventures. Good to see you, kevin, as we are watching all of this unfold, and i want to leave sent to your experience as a longtime businessman, youve hired thousands of people over the course of your career. And im really intrigued about what Corporate America response might be, what involvement in protests like these, for example . What did deter you from hiring some young adults from any of these schools so i make gnostic two brands. I would hire from ucla, i would hire from columbia. It doesnt matter the hiring decision is an individual decision. Its an individual basis and so what i dont think were talking can you enough about is a tragedy occurring at the individual level right now when these protests occurred in the past and by the way, there have been Student Protests since america was formed, and we allow free speech and protests have been part of it. And you think about the 60s and 70s, vietnam war and all of the protests that have occurred most of those were shot on 16 Millimeter Film Majority at 90 of that was a high grainy. You cant really get any resolution, but unfortunately for these participants in the last few weeks thats not the case. Let me explain it. Its being shot on ten adp and four k video. And from Surveillance Cameras with extremely High Resolution in low light conditions, including retinal scanning. This is whats happened with ai. So if youre burning down something you are taking a flag down, are fighting with police. Im sorry. Youre trashing your personal brand and let me explain how this works when im hiring somebody and im not different than any other corporation. You just heard for an s p 500 ceos we do whats called a deep dark search. So if youre a candidate in the executive, an element of a company or any candidate of materiality, you do this, you look at their resume and you say, lets hire a firm, its about 4,800 per search and go deep web, go dark web. All of this imagery that youre seeing tonight, all is unedited. Film is going to be there in about two weeks. So if youre out there right now, even in the dark with no sunglasses on, even though youve got a mask on ill see your eyes at fork a resolution. I know who you are, and unfortunately, whats going to occur to these young people have not thought this through ill see your resume you may be a great candidate. Then ill find that you were doing this, are fighting the police or whatever it was. Ill put that resume on the left into the garbage because i know i can find someone else just as good as you of which there are Tens Of Thousands of candidates that didnt participate in this. You are trashing your future and look, im not against you protesting, but you must understand in todays economy with ai technology, you just killed your career. I feel sad for them. I really want to ask you i mean, first of all its daunting and really for boating way you describe just how accessible the information really could be in that peoples anonymity when they intend it to be. Anonymous, is compromised. But there are those who probably have two reactions. One is maybe take your job in, shove it. The priority is what i believe in in terms of what i stand for, that might be one response. The other might be, well, hold on. Im im from a generation. I mean, not me. Im im at his baby, but duration where my whole life has been documented on social media. And so join the club. It add it to my added to all the other things youre likely to find about me. Its unfair that you say you want me to protests and i get held accountable. Can either be reconciled well, theres three ways this effect you, lets take the google situation. You broke company policy, youve got fired, you can sue google. Good luck with that youre not hie rubble anymore. Youre those who engaged in that in that sit in essentially of employees from google. I mean, there were dozens of them. I should probably about there were dozens who were fired or placed on administrative leave because they were participating in employees sitins inside of some of the offices last month and they have filed a Complaint Arguing that they had protected speech and that they were unlawfully fired. Go ahead. As fine. You can litigate till the cows come home. Youre not going to get hired again. You have to understand you have an Employment Contract in new breach that thats number one. Number two, you broke the law. Youre caught on a four k Security Camera for the rest of your life . Youre there. Im sorry. You just didnt think it through. And i understand the passion when youre in early 20s, were all there. Everybody went through this in college, you have passion. I think its great, but youve got to think about your future when youre starting a family today. All of these people, Tens Of Thousands of them, wont know why they didnt get that job, wont know why they cant join a board or they couldnt get a loan, or they couldnt join a nonprofit. Its because of what you did in the last 48 hours. Im really sorry for them. And i teach at colleges and universities and i tell these Young Students were in a new era of ai High Resolution imagery if it is what it is, i mean, i wonder what your opinion ive been as i mean, i know youve expressed feeling sorry for them, but might that translate to okay. Im not i am not talking about people who have committed heinous acts and in, the course of. Things. But there has been even a push for people who are returning citizens who have had felonies. And there was a push under the Obama Administration not to have to check a box every time you were trying to return to society, having been promised an opportunity, once rehabilitation occurs and all those are in deterrence and punishment, that something will consistently hang over your head for the rest of your life might be sorrow you feel translate to Second Opportunity to go beyond what has taken place in the last 48 hours or weeks i wish i could come by with you on this. I really do marshmallows for you and i obviously know im sorry, im sorry. Life is hard. Then you die. So you really have to think about the decisions you make and i urge young people today to understand the world they live in. There are hundreds of thousands of people competing for great jobs. And the minute you put yourself in this precarious position where youre filmed in ai for k ten adp, for ever for the rest of your life . Youre tainted. Im sorry. I actually i feel the weight. I feel so bad for these people. They have no idea what theyre doing to their future. They are taking their personal brands for ever. But let me tell you what youre im not a guy, not against their passion i hear you, but i want to i want you to reach me. I know we have limited time. I just wanted to read if you a statement that youre former fellow shark tank member, mark cuban actually provided to our show, he said business is like dory it quickly forgets what is inconvenient. This suggests in some respects that there, theres more or less than bluster. And then if business wanted to overlook something for its own corporate benefit or otherwise if they wanted to lean into a movement or lean away from a movement, its kinda there. Bobbi brown prerogative whats reaction either way, bobbi brown was a great r b singer i love this, and marc can hire them all. Its just because i wont be hiring any of them really okay, well, its interesting to hear your perspective and i think its one that we have not heard as a different way to approach the consequences of what has happened. I do wonder though, and The Grand Scheme of things, those who are as impassioned as we have, obviously scene. And im not going to comment are at the moment on on the nature of where that passion is directed. Whether theyre thinking in a way that you are describing and thinking as a potential employer. Kevin oleary, nice to talk. Oh, go ahead. I can i say . No no no listen. Tonight, lets come by. Lets be a proud of these people and their passions. You hire them. I wont. Thank you. All right. Well, there you go. No marshmallows happening in this scene and studio. Thank you. Kevin oleary take care police at ucla, or declaring an Unlawful Assembly assignment, they could be about to move in to clear the probe Palestinian Protesters theres live coverage ahead, plus new criticism for President Biden shouldnt be doing more to speak out against these unruly protesters.

Im omar jimenez at columbia university, and this is cnn i can to fall a Breaking News tonight out of ucla. Law enforcement has declared Unlawful Assembly for a propalestinian encampment. At the university is quiet and thats often the final step before ordering people to disperse. Or even face arrest. And were watching right now the footage we say officers on the left to have riot gear on the face, mass, et cetera, on the left or the right, we seem to see areas where theres a concentration of people and the encampment areas, they are presently not appearing to act and carrying out any specific orders. But of course, we are still watching right now and weve got cnns nic want on the ucla campus nick, i want to bring you back in here because were watching some of the footage you are actually on the campus. You are your all your senses. Are there. Tell me what you are seeing, whats going on, what is the atmosphere like . Well, laura since we last spoke, even more lapd officers wearing riot gear, have staged in this buffer zone between the encampment and another group of proPalestinian Protesters these officers are facing outwards, not towards the encampment. They are facing towards the growing crowd of proPalestinian Protesters who know the rumor that there is going to be a raid on this campus . Point now, the california Highway Patrol has also been here today. This of course, is state land. The california Highway Patrol is the agency that backs up campus security. So perhaps that might be the agency that actually moves into the encampment at some point im also hearing from my friend Josh Campbell that buses are being staged in a parking lot near here. We have seen that in other encampments, sweeps, where Law Enforcement stages, buses near the area in preparation for loading people who were arrested on to those vehicles . So right now, lapd, as i say, facing outwards, we have not seen any Movement Towards the Encampment Itself, but we are seeing this line of lapd officers being reinforced quite heavily, even just in a few minutes, laura, since you and i last spoke you are so right. Were watching that line. Well, which began initially then trying to separate arms length apart and now it seems to be doubled over and reinforcement there. I just wanted to clear the Encampment Itself there are people presently inside of those tense or in the area of the encampment as well. Correct . I mean, we cant guess how many because they barrett put up barricades. We cant see in estimates that weve had earlier. Were of about 100 people. I would imagine it could be more at this point, yes. So there are distinct groups here. I mean, if told him if you pan over, you cant really see the incumbent because its dark now. But in there, that is the core of the incumbent has been there a week. I estimate, 100 people or more in there, and then we now have seen over the evening as the rumors swirled, that theres gonna be a raid on that camp these crowds of other proPalestinian Protesters have gathered on the east side and on the west. Sayyed on one side, theyve actually linked arms as if to try and prevent any incursion to that encampment on this side, theyre being kept back behind this barrier. So theres the barrier. And then as weve talked about many times, there is this line, this everincreasing line of lapd officers just standing staring at those protesters they clearly do not want those protesters to get anywhere near the encampment. The problem here is going to be if they do go into that and cabinet to try and these crowds out of the equation. So that is i believe why we are seeing so many of these lapd officers lined up as we are all right laura, nick, really important to have your eyes and ears on the scene. I want to bring in former republican congressman joe walsh and cnn commentator and senior spokesperson for Hillary Clintons 2016 president ial campaign. And actually ucla alum, right . Karen, right. So i want first ill take me into what this must be like. The tension to me he just hearing about this and watching this. Yeah. But numbers seem to be in favor of the protest was compared to even the officers who are likely obviously armed. But what is whats happening in your mind . Well, so uclas an open campus, unlike columbia or harvard, you cant just close the gates and close everybody off. And so i imagined that part of of what they are dealing with this people coming from all over, not just and we were Hearing Reports of the earlier today the encampment. I think were assuming is mostly students, but that quad. So theres this, theres a grassy part and then theres literally a quad it looks to me as though what theyre trying to do is maybe preparing to push people out away from where the encampment is. And then perhaps theyll go in to the encampment so that they can deal with the encampment without having as nick said, to have to deal with the others on the outside. So were seeing this play out. Obviously in real bill time happening right now as we are watching this and attention ryzen, you also probably watching the white house. I mean, there are undoubtedly looking at this politicians across the spectrum and the aisle are looking at whats going on. Everyone has an opinion about what ought to be done and what ought to be said, joe, youve been a member of congress watching what youre seeing. What do you think is going . On among your former colleagues . I think the president , i say this laura, as someone who wants joe biden reelected we already each others throats in this country right now the American People are afraid and they see unrest and chaos on their tvs and phones every single where is the president . This is not a normal time. The other guy running for president , donald trump is out there saying, im going to be a dictator. Ill be a dictator to stop this. I mean, trump wants the chaos bidens Gotta Get Out There and step up in explain whats going on. What do you think about what biden biden has come oxidate something thats wrong. Hes talked about netanyahu, but you see a tension between ways able to say what he is. I do i mean, look, i think part of the tension is he is also pretty much been the only person trying to get the hospital this is out trying to negotiate with netanyahu to prioritize releasing the hostages. And that is still a priority. We dont even know how many there may be left because it it includes american does well, its correct but also hes trying to bring about a ceasefire and peace and trying to negotiate with the other neighbors in the middle east to try to come up if there can be a twostate solution, can we have peace in the middle east . Its, it fell so pollyanna to say that, but youve got to try. And then thats all behind closed doors, right. And thats very different than a public conversation. However, to joes point, i earlier today, i said i didnt think he should get involved. I actually i changed my mind because i think an Farah Griffin made this point. He couldnt use these remarks next week to remind particular, its going to be at the Holocaust Museum remind us of what happens when hate goes too far. We know that the nazis came to the United States of america to study jim crow when they were constructing the Nuremberg Laws so we know this is a global problem, and americans at each others throats with a global hate problem talk about again, lets not lose the through line of what is happening. What were trying to get to, why hate speech is not acceptable nor is violence, nor is this kind of what weve been subjected to under trump and others where we are, where its violent rhetoric is sort of being normalized. So i do think thats the opportunity remind us, what are we trying to achieve here . Were trying to achieve peace. Theres an opportunity here for, yeah, he should he needs to do it wait till next week to do it or if i would have done it a week ago, i would have been outside of columbia yesterday. I mean, im exaggerating, but he needs the American People need to see that hes up to it, and that hes not the guy whos saying im going to be a dictator but we have more and more about this and say the break and well talk about what trump has said to say about this. Its likely easier if youre the person criticizing as opposed to one who is trying to do joe karen stick around, are watching an ongoing situation unfolding at ucla of growing Police Presence tonight as an unlawful Well Assembly is declared at the campus well be right back trump Hush Money Trial gavel to gavel coverage.

Sundays at nine on cnn were gonna tell you to follow up Breaking News tonight out of los angeles, a tense standoff on the Ucla Campus Where Law Enforcement has declared an Unlawful Assembly for a propalestinian encampment at the university is quiet. Now, declaring a gathering unlawful is a step police typically take before ordering people to disperse or face arrest and just look at the presence of officers that you see on the campus where you would normally see students walking think back and forth, you see a heavy Police Presence. They are setting in the ready position. Many of them looking at the crowds around them, i want to go back to cnns nick watt on the ucla campus. Nick, what are you learning . Well, laura, i have heard from a source, the basics of the plan, the lapd, as weve been saying, is outward they are dealing with the crowds of proPalestinian Protesters who have gathered around the encampment the la county Sheriffs Department will also be brought in to help deal with this crowd. His crowd is bigger than was previously anticipated. The california Highway Patrol, a state agency, this is state land. They will actually be going into the encampment and there was a concern going into the encampment of biohazard. There is a lot of human waste. They believe in their, and they also believe that some of those people inside that encampment have bear spray. So im told it will be a very slow and a very methodical process. Laura neck just hearing that is very reminiscent for so many people of january 6 and officers who were up against bear spray, officers who are up against tension. Now, obviously the different circumstances are there is a distinction, but these officers now must be if theyre aware of what youve described that takes on a very different tone about what they anticipate and the level of force that they may anticipate using again, this feels like a very, very surreal powder keg that might increase tensions. I want to bring in siena senior legal Law Enforcement analyst and former fbi Deputy Director andrew mccabe. And well come back to nicking just a moment. Andrew mccabe, youre hearing this, the idea that they believed that bear spray and biohazard might be, their human waste im talking about that could be used against officers trying to wrap my mind around what the authors may have been briefed on. Youve got coordination from different Law Enforcement entities. One thats going to actually go in and try to clear out an encampment that has people in it. And then on the other is trying to perhaps fend off what could be an impending reaction from those who are onlookers. Tell me about your reaction to the strategy that nick just laid out for us. Is it a sound strategy . Well, i think were about to find out, right . I mean, the tension is clearly unbelievably high unsure on both sides if this point laura. So i think the arrangement that nick walk for us is really what you would expect to find in a situation like this. Its basically the result holt of what we call a mutual aid agreements, which are basically understandings between different Law Enforcement agencies that will come in and essentially back each other up on one of them has a job or a crisis, or a response that overwhelms their personnel capacity. Thats clearly what we have here in the case of the us doj police department. So there are being backed up by the state police, the Los Angeles County police, the la county sheriffs and im quite sure every other Law Enforcement entity they can find at this point. And so the way to run that logically and effectively is to to kinda divide up tasks in the way that nick described. So none of that really surprises me. But you have to put yourself in the minds of these men and women who are standing there in the dark in riot gear and masks facing this massive crowd, which probably outnumbers them by several fold. They have been briefed along the lines that weve heard. Theyve been briefed about the things that they are likely to encounter inside the camp or likely to encounter from the crowd that surrounds them that will potentially react aggressively and maybe even violently to their entry into the yep. All the hazards that nick spoke about potential bear spray, human waste bio hazards and lets not forget about aggressive people who are very passionate about what theyre there for, who may want to not leave under any circumstances whatsoever, who may also be armed from doing any other sorts of weapons that police typically encounter daytoday in Law Enforcement life in america. So the Police Officers are going into this thing at the dial is turned up to 11 as the expression goes and the tension itself can really put us on the precipice of some reactions that can that will likely be very hard to watch as you described that two things come to mind one is that the only thing that appears to be keeping the protesters are those who are onlookers away from these areas of the quad are bicycle racks. And it seems a level of willpower and restraint. And that can easily all disappear at the drop of a dime that causes me to consult any concern. The other part about it is were talking about officers who are trained to meet resistance very differently than the average person we how many years have you and ive been talking about the use of force continuum than officer is instructed is trained is in many inches are required to use the idea of using that amount of force to repel the commensurate level of force used against you meeting lethal force with lethal force that often interpretation of what could be lethal or deadly, and then having it met and returned, there are real concerns about the training these officers have and what could happen if they feel over run by protesters. Thats gotta be part of the consideration and what maybe a debriefing or a pre briefing must have anticipated absolutely and you know, in terms of your comments about the barricades, we all saw how wildly ineffective those barricades could be when on one side of them, you have a highly motivated passionate kind of inflamed, massive crowd, right . Way. And youre, im here i want to i can hold on. I have some Breaking News. Andrew, the Los Angeles Police department has just issued a citywide tactical alert and what that means that all lapd personnel there are now gonna be on notice that they could be called up to assist if needed throughout the night . That is hugely significant. And about what they anticipate the rest of this evening looking like. Can you imagine a citywide and lapd departmentwide tactical alert . Tell me about the urgency of this well, the lapd is large Law Enforcement institution, about nine in thousand sworn officers. So what we know now from that alert is that they think they might need all of them im sure that Law Enforcement leaders in the lapd and among their colleagues across the Law Enforcement community in la are considering what could happen as a result. Result of hostilities, not just here on the quad at the encampment, not just in the crowd thats surrounding the encampment, but theyre anticipating the possibility of hostilities and aggression breaking out in other parts of the city. They are thinking forward to think, we might need more people to be able to respond to other places around the city that could, who knows, erupt in violence. We saw last night how toxic the interaction is between these kind of proPalestinian Protesters and the counter protesters, many of whom are there representing winning the interests of israel. And in this geopolitical geopolitically inspired conflict those are, those are hostilities that literally can break out any place around la as people watch this, they watched this standoff. They watch them will watch what happens happens. And they could react very strongly to that. So i think its an appropriate move for the lapd to put their folks on notice to say be ready, you could be called in at any time i mean, were talking about los angeles Los Angeles County. But most populous in the nation, it seems its more than according to the data in census data. I think its more than 9 million residents. And la county you just described 9,000 officers who are told to be at the ready. Now, obviously, there is no indication that all of la county would be again to the police or pose any significant risk to the officers ability to maintain the Public Safety and calm. But just the sheer proportion and number is overwhelming to consider as we are continuing, as you and i are speaking to see a number of people that has grown from a size when we first began our broadcast, 46 minutes ago, a fraction of the people that we are now seeing, the actual pavement underneath the feet that was once able to be readily seen in the street. Now, of course simi crowded with people and the same officers reinforcement and the lines looking at this crowd. But just think back america, as you were seeing 47 minutes ago, you saw more pavement. Now you see civilians and you have officers with a tactical alert not to tune of 9,000 people. We have much more to come stay with us more live coverage and ucla, as police are preparing to order proPalestinian Protesters to leave, weve got a ucla professor joining us after this moment were here to get your side of the store.

And this is cnn Breaking News tonight out of los angeles, but tense standoff at the ucla campus between police and protesters, a source says the lapd has issued a citywide tactical alert why . Because of an Unlawful Assembly, theyve declared on the campus of ucla because of the encampment and that means this alert means that all all lapd personnel are now on notice that they could be called up to assist if needed it anytime throughout the night. I want to bring in ucla professor dove waxman, who is a professor of israeli studies. Professor waxman thank you for being here with us. We are watching all this unfold. We are seeing more than 100 Law Enforcement officers poised to break up this propalestinian encampment tonight. And the number increasing, as well as the number of people outside of these bicycle and orange cone barricades, tell me what is happening there now well, it seems that the police are alive in your very large numbers, apparently, theyre about to lay quite soon to try to clear this incontinent and i think theres a large number of online because many, many students who have come out to express solidarity with the protesters inside the encampment. Other people from not from ucla are showing up on campus. Its a very tense situation that you use the word surreal earlier in your report. And i think that catches my feeling looking at these at a campus that is normally a place of quiet study and work to see swarms of Police Officers, to see these tense scenes. Its really deeply depressing i cant imagine what its like in the tension and its teams palpable from my distance here in washington, dc, just looking at at it over our screens, im sure Many Americans are filling similarly as attention is rising and we know they were violence and clashes on campus just last night between propalestinian and pro Israel Groups has a university. Do they anticipate this was happening . Did they, did they wait too long to act . I think the university trying to ensure that this Protest Encampment could continue as long as it remained peaceful and distanced, didnt disrupt the university and the protest is within that largely abiding by that there were issues do you on the outskirts of the Protest Encampment. But what happened last night was really took things to a different level when large number of outside it looks like outside agitators masked men arrived and basically attack protest camp. That really sparked scenes of violence that were really shocking and as a result of that, the result of the attack against the protest in cabinet by these apparently outside agitator. They dont think they were members of ucla community. I dont think they were students, but that is really escalated eight attention and is now i think resulting in the situation where there isnt, theres no safety to the students inside the encampment or two students outside the encampment so i dont think this was something that the administration one, they wanted to avoid the scenes weve seen that columbia and other places. But their hand instead of being forced and here we are watching this unfold. Many hearts in throats, waiting for what might come next professor dove waxman, thank you so much. Thank you and thank you all for watching. We will continue to follow this developing intense situation at ucla. And its an cooper three, 60 isnt it .
