SCHAUB: “So, we know that there has been a pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus of UCLA for about four days now. This is a group made up of students here last night, they kind of expanded their encampment, pushed out the barricades a little bit, ahead of what was supposed to be a pro-Israel counter protest put on by the American-Israeli federation. That was supposed to take place, a permanent event, from 11:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. today. Well, about 10:30 A.M. this morning, we had protesters walk through. These are pro-Palestinian protesters, walked through, kind of pushed their way into the pro-Israeli area here, pushing, shoving, fighting their way in, and now they have occupied the other half of that grass lawn that you see behind me. And both sides, you’re kind of just going back and forth right now, there’s a lot of shouting, there’s a lot of name-calling, there’s been some fighting. It is — we’ve definitely seen this environment kind of escalate as far as it can from what it was supposed to be, a rather peaceful protest. So, again, this is all going on here in the campus of UCLA and it’s just, right now, kind of a wait and see.”
