You look there. Fox news alert. Police responding to protests on campus at ucla and, at Tulane University as well in louisiana. Right now, the lapd is on the scene at ucla after proisrael and propalestinian protesters faced off and started fighting. Ainsley yeah. According to local reports, protesters tried taking down an encampment before fireworks and other objects were thrown. Brian it was like watching a live brawl for two and a half hours without a referee. Swat official officers are at Tulane University in new orleans as police work to clear antiisraeli protesters there overnight on the east coast, nypd arresting dozens of antiisraeli protesters while Clearing Encampments at Columbia University, finally. Steve and more than 25 activists were arrested overnight just blocks away here in New York City at city college. Its spreading, folks. Ainsley yep. We have live team conch. Lawrence is actually hosting the show live from Columbia University as you can see. We have c. B. Cotton, she is also at Columbia University in a different area, keeping tabs on the situation. Steve thats right. But, in the meantime, lets start out west. Right . Ainsley thats right. Lets bring in eli self evette. He is a stud ucla. I was seeing state boards be then. Brian i think c. B. Cotton would like to come on and set the Scene Out At Columbia first and eli, just stay there, c. B. . Hi, brian, good morning. Set the scene for our viewers. Take a look behind me. Student protesters were arrested just behind this campus gait here at Columbia University. Droves were then brought out to nypd correctional buses. And, obviously, the university is talking about all the damage thats going to have to contend with now after Student Protesters occupied that campus building. But New York City is going to also have to foot the bill. Take a look at this damaged city bus stop. This is absolute mess. We know that Columbia University authorized nypd to come in last night. A Spokesperson Saying in part, quote after the University Learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalized and blockaded, we were left with no choice. Columbia Public Safety personnel forced out of the building and member of our Facilities Team was threatened. We will not risk the safety of our community or potential for furthest can a labor relation, end quote. The mass arrests began around 9 30 p. M. Eastern. Droves of officers in right gear moved past makeshift. Dozens were let out to correctional buses. Their hands zip tied behind their backs. Crowds stood by cheering on those protesters and booing the Police Officers. The nypd told us no one was injured during the arrest. But Student Protesters have taken to social media in the aftermath of the chaos to allege several students have been hurt. Now, before the sweep, New York City eric adams urged parents to call their kids and tell them to go home before things escalated. Many did not listen. And just before midnight, the nypd cleared out a propalestinian encampment at city college of new york. A spokesperson says at least 25 people there were arrested. But, between both campuses, lots of these students who were taken into custody arent too fazed. We will do what we have always done. We will get arrested, just like the criminals in the subway, they always right back out in 24 hours. As you can hear right there, some of these people are very, very brazen. New York City Police department will be holding a Press Briefing this morning at 9 00 a. M. And were going to to be following author those updates. Back to you. Steve c. B. Cotton in front of a busted bus stop window. Thank you very much for the recording this morning. Ainsley thanks, c. B. Steve it all broke loose last night, lawrence, about a little after supper time. We could tell the cops were heading your way. Tell us what youre seeing at 6 04 eastern time on campus there at columbia today. Lawrence yeah, guys, this is calm now. That is to be expected after the show of force last night. Remember the coming had been waiting on standby for a while. They wanted to clean it up from the very beginning. But because this is a private campus, they have to wait until the president invited them in. So what you saw is those cops come on the scene. They went busted out a window. Climbed. In the Emergency Service unit, which is like nypd swat, came in, broke through, and they arrested them all. And they drug them out of the building, had all these buses filled. And i think, because of that, they restored order. Now, you can compare and contrast that with what is happening at ucla where the cops have not been on standby there because they dont have a real police chief at the moment right now. They have an acting police chief. The mayor is not signaling that he wanted them that she wanted them there at the time. Then you had the president of the university not signaling that so what you have is chaos there as a result of that, guys. Brian takedown. Go ahead, ainsley. Ainsley i was watching seans show last night at 9 00. Then we see this big what looked like an army tank, it was nypd brought in that huge vehicle with all these Law Enforcement officers on top. They were wearing their masks. They had their shields. Then they hoisted up that ramp right up to the window and they broke. In and peacefully brought in im reading different numbers, 30, 40, 48 people were arrested. They put them on those buses. And, you know, i know all of our viewers were thinking, finally, thats the front cover of the new york post. It says cops finally arrest the antijewish rioters. Brian mobile adjustable ramp system. When they knocked on the door they said let us in . You are not going to let us in . Okay go up to the second floor. 100 people they round up. Maybe they only arrested 40. They say what they are going to they went in there and cleared out that then they cleared out the encampments. And now there is a report that the nypd will stay on campus until the commencement. And guess who is outraged by this . The faculty. They are mad at the president for bringing in the president for bringing in the cops again. Didnt we tell you that last time insane. They are calling for the president to be fired because they didnt bring in the cops. Im not necessarily my heart doesnt break for her, but it should show you the mindset of what we are dealing with on these campuses and its not just columbia. Ainsley where sour president . You had donald trump on the phone last night with sean saying this is ridiculous finally and he was thanking those Police Officers but we havent heard from joe biden. Steve thats right. Peter doocy was on the north lawn yesterday talking about how joe biden yesterday was at a high school doing a campaign event. Brian closed door. Steve here what happens we know about what has hand to the remember, we heard yesterday finally, the administration at columbia said if you dont get out of the building, and youre a student, you will be expelled. Well, we dont know if thats actually happened. But the people in the building last night were charged with vandalism, trespassing, burglary in the third degree, and criminal mischief. And the people at the encampment outside have been charged with Disorderly Conduct and trespassing. But, as we saw earlier, that guy, he just said look, in 24 hours, im going to be out. The question is and i have got this question. Are the names of the people who were arrested, and apparently outside agitators were the leaders. Will those names be released to the public so we know who was involved . The worry as a parent of somebody in college is that your child cant find a job. Well, i wonder if those names are ever going to be out there. Lawrence . Lawrence well, steve, the Court Documents will be released. But, again, the protest made it very clear they will be out within 24 hours. So they dont even respect our judicial system. But i think the headline from yesterday is, that Press Conference with the mayor and all the Deputy Commissioners for the police department, youll have the Deputy Commissioner for counterterrorism saying that they there is outside influences on these students here. So, they are not just funding. This when you have Terrorist Cells were witnessing real time radical callization of our kids all over the country real time. And all these professors that all these, real quick, brian, all these protesters that are rallying behind these students said nothing when the palestine had a flier four days after the attack with paragliders on it. Those are the same paragliders that attacked the israeli people. So, again, there is so much outrage for what happened last night. But not a word for the jewish people. Brian they actually showed video at the Press Conference of the training of the students boy these other infiltrators to tell them how to do it. They said there is no doubt about it they are being led by outside sources. Thats what i hope they have found. They said they have been tracking a lot of these people through New York City and columbia is just where they have landed now. So we have to start extricating them almost like a plant tars wart and find out why they have spread their doctrine in 20 states, in 20 maybe 25 states now across the country as now florida, the University Of Southern Florida also had some issues. So we will see how bad that gets. Nyu students, city college students, all in new york doing similar things. Nyu guys went up to columbia at city college. They also have allied with the faculty there as they set up their encampments. Steve you are looking live right now at ucla where its 3 10 in the morning and protesters are still out there. If you are just waking up, overnight, fireworks, tear gas, fights breaking out about 11 00 pacific time as 100 proisrael protesters tries to seize the barricade around that solidarity camp. You see the plywood in the distance . That formed the outside. And suddenly out of nowhere they have been gathering throughout the day. The counter protesters started wrestling with the protesters over the metal barricades and then they had to take the barricades down. Ainsley seeing news on the east coast and west coast as we are looking at right now. Eli self i have the we talked to you yesterday because that video was circulating on social media. Brian found that yesterday and sent it to our producers. Thankfully you were able to speak to us. We want to get an update from you. You werent allowed to go to class and walk around your own campus because these women barricaded themselves. Brian there were some guys there too though. Ainsley few guys. You said i want to be peaceful. That video is famous and all over social media. What were you seeing . Were you there in the middle of the night when this was going down . Yeah. Serves in contact with you guys and i said im going to go out and just document footage for this particular interview. I con studently advocate for peace and i told the jewish ucla students that we should not be going there as this is not something we need to take part in. Because violence is not exactly the right way the reason why in this is happening. Have had enough. They have seen the way the prohamas protesters are treating jewish students on campus. They said fine if the Ucla Administration is not going to do anything or the lapd is not going to do anything were going to do something about it. Brian what did you do . It looked like some guys went down there and started ripping down the encampments themselves and fell with resistance. This thing went on for it looked like about two hours i saw people throwing things at each other. Like you mentioned a removal of barricades they said the main reach they were doing this was to attract police. They wanted l. A. Police to arrive. Brian interesting. So they could finally go inside the encampment and start making arrests. Steve the reason you came Tour Attention because you proudly wear that Star Of David around your neck as you are wearing it right now, eli. We know as you just described, the people in the encampment have been the propalestine group. And then the counter protesters came in. But its unclear who exactly they are. Are you saying they were jewish students . Jewish people in who were they . I can confidently say that they are not ucla students. The average age of those people is around 26, 27, 28, 29. They were all older. And they were just l. A. Residents, jewish l. A. Residents that have noticed how these prohamas protesters are treating jewish students at ucla and they said enough is enough. If, like i mentioned before if the administration is not going it do anything were going to do something about it. Brian lawrence . Lawrence eli, have you recognized any of the protesters . Are they friends of yours . Any of the people that you have seen on campus . No. I do not recognize any of them. They recognize me because of how viral the video has gone of me. And i have a lot of people walking up to me and giving me fist bumps trying to stay out of the crowd. As i mentioned before im for peace. I dont want to engage with a mob. Ainsley well, i was reading about the series of events that are happening on your campus. It says last thursday, this is when the protesters started camping out at royce quad right in front of royce hall. The university didnt want to intervene they are proud of tolerance for free speech. They said they were avoiding Law Enforcement until absolutely necessary to protect the physical safety of our campus community. Then last night there was a turn of events. They were seeing your social media video. The administration took issue with that they said this encampment is illegal and students will face consequences if they dont leave. I was watching Jonathan Hunt throughout the night. He said this went on for three and a half hours. He didnt see much Police Presence at first. Are you seeing Police Presence now . Oh, there a lot of Police Presence. When i arrived there. There was not yet Police Presence and then i watched as police cars pulled up, all the Police Officers came out in their riot gear. They formed their line and they started marching. Steve okay. But you could see the protesters are still out there. Ainsley were there any arrests at ucla. No. No arrests. The marching they only arrived halfway into the court, strictly to say we are here. Were not leaving. And there was a lot of cheers for the police somebody started playing our national anthem. And a lot of people are hoping. A lot of proisrael protesters are hoping these police will finally go need and get rid of encampment to make jewish students feel safer. Brian were you able to get that video to us . Yes. I cents it over. Brian thank you. Steve stay safe out there. You just mentioned Jonathan Hunt up all night. He has been following this throughout the evening there in l. A. Where it is 3 15. They are in the vicinity of campus. They havent moved in . They havent arrested anybody yet. They have moved in. No arrests that we are aware of. They have finally moved in by my count about three and a half hours after the violence first broke out. What we have seen now are a couple of Skirmish Lines. Lapd according to the Mayors Office is also on scene. What they appear to be doing for now just trying to keep the two sides apart. We went on the air around 1 00 a. M. Eastern expecting to be covering basically the aftermath of the nypds Textbook Operation At columbia. And then within about 45 minutes we started seeing these live pictures coming from our Fox Affiliate kttv of the counter protesters arriving in front of royce hall and then suddenly this outburst of violence. What i sat here and watched and we showed our viewers over the following three hours or so, was just ongoing battles between the two sides. Hitting each other with huge wooden poles. Throwing Fire Crackers literally into crowds of protesters on both sides. Mace, pepper spray being sprayed into the faces of protesters again on both sides. And out and out brawls on the quad of one of the blue ribbon universities of the u. C. System. It was really quite extraordinary to watch it unfold. And the one thing i did not see in that two and a half to three hours of this ongoing brawling that you saw, was a single Law Enforcement officer, not from chp, not from lapd, not from campus police. There were some private security standing there. Completely unequipped to deal with this. So it was an extraordinary scene. Complete anarchy and chaos on the campus of a major American University and nobody doing a thing about it, guys. So, jonathan, watching that conch, were waiting does the mayor, do we find out, does the mayor need to call in the cops . Does the governor need to call in the cops. And do you think the anarchy at usc
