Annually. Uc Berkeley Police say those who turned violent were not cal students and the speech was canceled for safety reasons. And lets check in now with Wayne Freedman live at cal. Reporter thats right. If you talk to anyone on campus or in the community, no one is blaming uc berkeley for what p had. They were, in fact, outside agitators. Take a look over my shoulder. Good morning, berkeley, tough night last night . A war that began with a battle on campus that spread into a conflict and this morning anyone could see the evidence written on walls and covered up by plywood when the agitators carried into the streets of berkeley, they took dead aim at banks and corporate america.

Democrats have moderates. And they have progressives. Believe me, they dont constitute at all times on every issue a supermajority. Reporter still, chiu says that democrats will come together when threatened. We are going to be agreeing with the Trump Administration where we can. But defending california and democratic and progressive values where we must. Reporter National President kevin deleon has directed staff thers in the capital to put together a list of federal funds that the state could lose. And included in that list ideas for how to fight those cuts. So they are preparing for the worst and are grateful for the supermajority. Melissa caen, kpix 5.
