Coverage of americas campus chaos. The focus once again tonight of that chaos is the campus of ucla. Right here in los angeles, where it is now. 10 p. M. Hundreds of Police Officers have flooded onto the campus in the last few hours, apparently preparing to try to dismantle the propalestinian encampment, which has now been there for almost a week. Live on the scene at ucla is our correspondent, bill melugin, and bill set the scene for us as it looks right now. There yeah. Jonathan, good evening to you. Right now, several Law Enforcement agencies have this encampment behind us, completely surrounded on all sides. Well give you a look at the encampment. Right now. You can see theyve built this wall here today to try to keep Law Enforcement out. Some of the people inside the camp, you can see, have been getting up the walls right here. Theyve got flashlights. Theyre trying to strobe the eyes of Law Enforcement to kind of taunt them. And blind them a little bit. Sometimes they do it to us as well, but you can see theyve built this wall all the way down to where the other side of this courtyard is, in an effort to try to keep Law Enforcement out. Speaking of Law Enforcement, well show you whos showing up here. If we can walk over here real quick. Tommy, were now starting to see california Highway Patrol in riot gear, some with nonlethal weapons lining up in front of the encampment here. That is different than what lapd is doing. If we pan to the right a little bit, we got legions of lapd officers out here essentially providing Perimeter Security for whatever operation is about to happen with this encampment tonight. Beyond those lapd officers is that huge crowd of several hundred weve been showing you all night. Several hundred propalestinian protesters on the other side of that lapd skirmish line. On the other side of the fencing, they showed up here after the people in this camp posted on social media that, hey, were going to get raided tonight. If you support us, come down here and dont let them in. The latest, as we know, lapd is in a full citywide tactical alert. That means more resources come in and they have to stay late. We know the Sheriffs Department is on the other side of campus right now, and were starting to see more of these california Highway Patrol troopers arriving here on campus. These students, theyve been told over and over and over that this is an unlawful assembly. And this camp right here, theyve been chanting, were not leaving. Theyve been warned. If you dont leave, you can be subject to arrest. So all of our Law Enforcement sources are telling us there is going to be an operation tonight to clear out this encampment. We just dont know exactly when its going to begin. What we can tell you is Law Enforcement is beefing up their resources on the perimeter of the campus, and were starting to see more of these california Highway Patrol showing up here. As more and more of these propalestinian protesters are showing up around their perimeter to essentially try to interfere with or distract Law Enforcement from whatever is about to take place at this encampment tonight. But this camp is not going anywhere. From the students perspective. Theyre posting in their telegram channels. Hold the line. Essentially. See if theyre starting to throw tear gas in, cover it up with buckets. Theyre preparing for what they think is going to be a large Law Enforcement sweep tonight. And on the other side of the courtyard where were at right now, this is one of the other protest groups. You can see they have local Security Guards trying to hold them back, but there are hundreds of people on that side as well waving their phones, which they turn the lights on and then inside this camp, we still have hundreds of people. You might be able to hear the drilling right now. Thats them. More putting up, more walls and screwing more screws into this plywood. You might be able to hear the hammer in the background. Theyve been building this wall all day long, so if Law Enforcement is planning to breach from this side, theyre going to have to go through that wall, tear it down, go over it somehow. How theyre going to do that . We dont know yet. We dont know where theyre going to try to enter this camp. But what we can tell you is this is a massive Law Enforcement response from several different agencies who appear to be coordinating together. Jonathan and bill, i think are the complexities and the dangers of this operation compared in many ways to what the nypd did. More than 24 hours ago at columbia. Theyre theyre dealing with a private campus, a gated campus. They were able to clear it entirely. Here. Youre dealing with very much a public university, a public space. And you know better than anybody how easy it is for anybody to walk onto the perimeter of that campus. And the crowds just seem to be getting bigger to, to my view, every hour, which puts more and more pressure on the officers there because they are surrounded as you, as you rightly say, from all sides, effectively. Yeah. Youre exactly right. And were seeing the results of this being a public campus as you said, were watching these propalestinian protesters essentially spill into the perimeter all around us. We got hundreds behind the camera right now. We got hundreds to the right side of the camera. We got hundreds. We just showed you on the other side. And then on the other side of the encampment, there are several hundred as well. So Law Enforcement is essentially boxed in and sandwiched as more and more of them continue arriving. Now, the question is going to be, does Law Enforcement feel like they have enough resources on hand to go into this camp and potentially hold back all these people on the perimeter if they decide, you know what, were not going to let Law Enforcement go in. Were going to stop this. What happens then . Do things get violent . Do they have to start using Crowd Control Measures . Do things start getting physical . We dont know. So far, thankfully, theres been no violence of any kind from what weve seen, just chanting. Theyre chanting that lapds kkk, that theres an intifada revolution. Lapd, lapd doesnt mind that. Thats freedom of speech. Thats perfectly fine. What . They dont want to see is a repeat of last night. They dont want to see agitators or counterprotesters showing up. They dont want to see fights breaking out. And they obviously dont want to see any Law Enforcement get hurt. So when they go into this camp, we dont know. But this buildup has been going on all night long. You can hear all the helicopters above us right now, likely. This is a multipronged operation with the Sheriffs Department, with the Highway Patrol and the lapd, and it appears at some point theyre going to go in there and its going to be up to those protesters. Are they going to resist . Are they going to try to keep them out . We dont know what kind of supplies they have in that camp. Theyve been putting out requests for goggles and wood and plywood and shields. We dont know what they have in there. So Law Enforcement doesnt either unless they have some sort of different intelligence. Maybe they got some moles in the camp feeding them information. We dont know. But at some point theyre going to have to try to figure out a way to breach this camp where they decide to do that from remains to be seen. But were going to be out here all night. Jonathan and well keep an eye on it. And, bill, its interesting. Im just getting some information from one of our contributors, paul mauro. You know very well former nypd detective. He is seeing some information crossing some of the Protester Forums that would indicate that they may even have a Drone Up Scoping out the Law Enforcement positions there at ucla. And i think theres no doubt, bill, that these protesters are unlike those at Hamilton Hall at columbia, who just seemed to be willing to move off once the police came in. These protesters seem to be preparing to battle. Jonathan, it wouldnt surprise me at all if they had a drone up in the air. Right now, weve seen several drones tonight. Its very possible one of them was theirs. But youre right, theyre turtling up. Theyre digging in. Theyre preparing for a siege. Essentially, Law Enforcement cant just walk onto the grass and start arresting people. Theyve literally built up a fort here that theyve banded together with zip ties and screws. I mean, look at this thing. You got them on the wall right now. Theyre always wearing helmets and masks. Theyre waving palestinian flags. And every now and then theyll pop out with a high powered, strobing flashlight, and theyll flash the cops in the eyes. They flashed us in the eyes as well. They dont like people pointing cameras towards what theyre building right there. But yeah, theyre not. Theyre not giving up. Theyve essentially been turtling up this location all day long and dissipating that somebody is going to try to come in tonight. So if police end up doing it, its going to be interesting to see. Are they going to do it like a brute force . Look at this. Theyre strobing us right now. Thats exactly what were talking about, are they going to try to do it brute force way where they rip the walls down . Or are they going to try to get in through the bushes . We dont know, but the students have been chanting, were not leaving. It doesnt matter how many Dispersal Orders have been given, they have no plans to go anywhere right now. Jonathan. Yeah, bill, we are delighted that you are there for us tonight with your excellent crew. Tommy chiu, running the camera for us there, and lexi hernandez, your producer. No better crew in la to cover these unfolding events. And we will be here like you all night as developments unfold. Bill melugin, thank you very much for now. We will be here, as i say, anything that happens, you will see it live on the campus of uclae campus of ucla. So stay with us Hereaign Forwill the moment. Well send you back to Jesse Waters Y in here and, you know,e end up maybe handcuffing people and arresting theffing pe well do what we always done. Do well get arrested just likenesy the criminals in the subway. They always right back out in 2, alwback o0 4 hours. Marxists are beating up jews, breaking into buildingist. And raising foreign flags. While biden says republicans are americawhilns as top threaa biden hasnt even made a phonesn call to the president of colombia. Hillarys a professor at columbia. She hasnt said a word. Obama graduated from columbia to where is he . Count this country needs to get itryit together. T Devry College president. I say removeo t, i the encampme, immediately, vanquish the radicals and take back ourew campuses for all of the normal students who want a safehot ple from which to learn. Former member of Antifa Gabriel Nadal joins me now. So gabriel, youre looking cla at some of these black clad anarchists, burrow into these windows and kind of take the leadership role of this movement. How does this work . Well, let me tell you about what this movement is. This is just part of a biggeentr conversation when it comes to fall of activism. And as we know, ther left ac. E,e they have a long history in america of violence, whether itwhethe be whether it be destrg buildings or attacking other people. But one thing that we need tha to consider is the fact that a lot of these people arent even studentsa lo. I mean, from my time in the antiwar movement, i can tell you that a lot of my friendsou,d they used to beg for money to pay for gas in order to go to another city. I even had a friend who usedfrie to train hop to get around the aroundnd the country. Count a lot of these people are willing to work on a shoestring Budgetry Peopl in order to get e protests. And in fact, and we saw ou gtd u ohio, they arrested about 40 people and less than hal fdents. Of them were actually students. Its a component that we need to talk about thatse need a lot of times. These are professional activists thess that are trying to instigate chaos on our universities. Ties so when you were in antin youre telling mtifae that thesy people were poor and they were just act like parasite as. M they would glom on to whatever action that was happening in the streer t and they would tryca to capitalize on it. And it didnt really matter what the action was. They just wanted chaos and destructios ann, particulary the way a lot of these ideologies work. Theyre always see themselves as being on the side of the oppressed against the oppressor. This is just as bein the another of that. When we have the george floyd riots, you had Examp Black Peope that were the oppressed and the oppressors with the police. The government here is the same thingd e s. E oppres theyre saying that the palestinians are the oppressed and against the oppressor. But what ends up happening when they put this this false dichotomy of gooy d Versus Evilnal is that they start justifying their criminal actions in order to get their point across. And look at oupoook,r america wh i work, im national director. We believe in freedom of speech. Ere e dire doesbut the First Amendment does not protect you, your right to destroyur buildings and or assault other people. That should just be straighttra out of the gate, not permitted anywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of school officialtanywheres, theyre just allowing it. At ucla, we have been seein t that they have told the police not to go in and arrest those criminal actors. And thats an incredible problem. When you were a membermoney of antifa, the money train, i know a lot of it comes fromat soros. When you look at this movement right now, it doesnt cost a lot of money, but therem is a stream flowing in. What do you see . Well, what i can tell you is theres a lot of the times for my personal experience is that there was a lot of people who actually werexwere oe not wa necessarily getting paid. But what we do see is that is that they lupport do that often get comes fromot a lot of people who are giving in donations. Pren i was part of the occupy protest in 2011, i remember that people would just come up and they would drop pizz alttles of water, sodas, all of these different things. And then you also have a lot of different local businesses that they dont realizbusinesse what theyre supporting because theyll support. Theyll give tents becaus, theyll give food, theyll give all the agencies and supplies. And then within a couple of week of weeks, there have been vandalized in the riots. Thats exactly what we saw rs a in the 2020 riots. And many businesses in portland, in minneapoli i s, they they had to close because they supported these types of protesters. All right. Thanks forsupptypes of the insight, gabe. We appreciate it. Mcads now check in with alexis mick adams, whos live on the ground at nyu. Whats going on theren the g, alexis . Hey, jesse. Well, this is a little bit different than yesterday hey jed there are some police here on standby, but we havent seen really any police in riot gearst moving in here. This is near the campus of nyu. Here you canhe campu move into a the crowd just a little bit and see what were seeing on the ground. Are they have, you know, people chanting here and people calling for their university to divest from israel. They also have some signs that they stand with palestine and the occupation now. And this was alspation o an ara that we were in just the other day when we saw that they were doing some traininsaing on what to do in case the police didw show up or there were any injuries. This is wherupweree that was jut the other day. But most of the action usually isnt too far from here. Also on the campus of nyu, where weve seen some people also preparing see to move in te encampments. So it all started right over at Columbia University started,e but thats not the case anymore. This is moved across this haseds here and acros new york city. This is, again, a look here at what were seeingn on the grounn thd. Were going to try to checkestes in with some protesters as well. What do you think about the police all. K arriving here and watching you guys . Nobody nobody wants to talk yet. Okay. Lets see. What do you guys thinkd about the nypd kind of being around at this point . Are you worried at all . Are you worried at all . Ll w okay.
