My favorite thing about zoomers growing up is using slang in professional situations. Telling the UCLA vice-chancellor to “be so for real right now” is iconic.

Bruh, if you "want to protect your students", the next time your faculty is calling the cops, *defend* your students.

15:35 - “You are gonna have to tell these pigs to take the life out my body before I stop! You are going to have to physically remove me from this earth before I stop fighting for the people of Gaza!” That young woman is incredible.

The moment he admitted that maybe he wasn't the right person to talk to they should have said the talk's over and asked him to leave. But all they received from him was "Yeah. Um. Well." and then some bureaucratic deflective answers.

Why send the vice-president of the university? Did the president have something more important going on? It’s deliberate.

"Ya... well"

The kids are so laser focused. They are amazing.

I hope he peed himself a little when Brad said "why should we let him leave" 😂😂😂

so the usual "I haven't heard, I haven't seen, I can't control that, please go home now, you know you know you know"

I don’t think I would have had the patience to even sit there and entertain this conversation with this guy. Claps for the one who pointed out he’s simply not the guy they should be talking to.

I called UCLA PD 3 times after 1 and 2 in the morning and begged them to help and was treated like a BURDEN & IGNORED. I then called POSH Beverly Hilld PD who stated that they cannot get involved since they have not been asked. I have nver had a force who are to serve and protect treat me as though it was a joke.

Once again another evening listening to Hasan’s program. As the 50 year old man constantly being re educated and so proud of this younger generation. It makes me feel as if my life has been wasted. I truly respect Hasan and this younger generation. It gives this 50 year old man hope!!

If being emotional somehow makes these arguments less impactful, then I don't know what is going to make people care.

When he said “ya”, I could tell how serious he was taking them.

He said “we can’t let the counter protest violence go on, INDEFINITELY “ that’s an admission that he let them get violent for hours.

Optics are skewed against the students anyways. Why should we give a shit? They’re calling us violent and unhinged anyways. These students are fighting and going through traumatic things. To expect them to stay calm while he has nothing to say or giving them any answers is unrealistic

the classic you don't understand how it works line.

Let’s be honest, even if this was a calm conversation on both sides, it would not have made any difference. I get the optics might not be ideal but the optics of students getting brutalized is far more potent than this. No one will likely watch this, at least no one in good faith whose opinion would be swayed. Let the students air their frustration

He sounds like a prison warden, making excuses and squirming out of responsibility

I’m so proud of these students. Just so incredibly intelligent.

“Ya… well… um…. you know…. I need to go” 💀LMAO

very fucking cringe that the vice-president is pretending to be utterly powerless and uninformed. he didn’t come to make amends. he came for damage control.

“I came here for a genuine conversation” dude the whole time “yea, yea, yeah, um, yea, um, yea YEAh”

The "Adults" in this world are not doing their job.

Him constantly mumbling "right right, yeah yeah yeah" was like nails on a chalkboard. It made him look even more disingenuous than he already was. Like he wasn't actually listening, he was playing a role of listening but was actually just waiting for his turn to talk his bullshit. I'm so glad someone called it out but he fell back into it again. It drove me nuts.

The second day of my sophmore college year was 9-11... The trajectory seemed clear, the war machine would not be stopped. The environment would be fully abandoned. The Ivory tower route ... would be complicity. I left. Did some protests. Did some art. Got older. Still offer material support to the front lines, i just... i dont know how we do real change. I dont know how others carry the torch so brightly. Its been so long.

i’ve seen toddlers hold better arguments than this chancellor lol

The bullshit about ending the protest for your safety is just that bullshit.

He said it himself "i'm here to listen to your concerns, and listen to your critiques, and i'm here to give you an accounting of why those things exist." note how "political bargaining, and aquiescing to their demands" isn't on that list. he's there to hear, not to listen. to talk, not to agree. he's there to posture and stonewall, not to progress the conversation. he's got that alien from planet neutralon attitude, absolutely and completely tepid and vague and avoidant, the mannerisms that come with being told "Whatever you do, do not say yes or no at all, make no statements that the university is going to have to account for, just play kabuki theatre and see if they buy it."

He said he felt abused 😂 And he sounded like a cop

wow I can not express how much this has given me a spark of optimism for the future

16:08 "you are here as an agent of the state in blackface" hooooly shit that hits hard. I hope this dude lies awake with that ringing in his mind.

This guy either doesn't do his job or thinks everyone is stupid. "We can look into that" and "I don't/didn't know about that." You really trying to get people to believe that you went into a negotiation that you claim to have been trying to schedule for weeks without doing any research? You didn't look at the finances that the students all have? You didn't look into what has been happening to them? You either did nothing to prepare (which makes sense if he's just going to talk down to them the whole time) or you think they are stupid when they're some of the best of our generation

He's really trying the "Hey kids, calm down there are rules"

Ucla vice chancellor. We want to protect our students. Me: by sending the cops in to beat the crap out of them? Lol 😆 🤣 so much for protecting your students.

My man showed up and was like " I can get yall a ticket to Bennigans"...

“i didn’t come here to get shamed”. if you feel shame for them reading back verbatim the things you’ve said and done then that’s that’s on you lil bro

Every time he mumbled “….yeah” I wanted to jam crochet needles in my ears

100% this guy was sent out to be a punching bag and make the students look worse

"mya... yea... well... yea... mya myea.... well look... yea okay"

So he is threatening to sweep them. Freakin double talking bullshitter.

I just think the audacity is wild for this man to pull the whole “I won’t sit here and be abused” card because a group of students are yelling at him after being brutalized all night and school security and the cops did nothing for them. Pathetic.

That one student fuckin ruled lol

I think the anxiety and the adrenaline is pumping, but the screaming into the microphone will be used as a weapon by main stream media sadly. Exactly what Hasan said.

Go look at some of the 50's civil rights protests...go look at some of the 60's anti-war protests with SDS and the Black Panthers. I do admire the conviction and bravery as well as their moral compass of the new generation of fighters for justice.

This vice chancellor is a chump talking about how he’s being abused and I lie how the students are ignoring that game

47:05 Georgia State University is the main sponsor of the GILEE (Georgia-Isr*el Law Enforcement Exchange Program), one of the major sponsors of Atlanta’s Cop City project

"and kiki" omg queen

Such an insane microcosm. The helicopter overhead. Double speak from the institution. Defiant people with no power talking about how it « only got this bad because you didn’t listen! »…

17:00. I had read the inspector's reports and was screaming at my TV watching Powell lie to the UN, live.

These people are so brave. I know they've said not to call them that, but they really are some of the best of our generation

BTW, in reference to Banana Allergy, ANYONE has a Latex Allergy they cannot have Bananas NOR Kiwi FRUIT. Allergies are serious and can kill. All thres are in the same allergen category.

Happy Beltaine and happy May Day, fellow travelers.

If this guy wants to turn this around he would join them.

Dude was a sacrificial lamb. Where are the regents?

Obtuse is a conservative trait. "We The People" Are Chunts 7:51 that's a white passing MoFo 16:14 ✊🏿

the CONSTANT “….yeah. yeah” with no emotion

Sounds like a brother talking ; if that’s the case they trying to use that

Damn these students have big iron balls to do this.

Free Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Mean spirited is one way of describing EVIL

Power concedes nothing without demand.

Chancellor sounds an awful lot like those bad guys in the 30's, kind of a bad look for the ones doing the anti-semitic finger wagging.

11:53 HEAR HEAR 💯🇵🇸

They forget that they get paid the big bucks to deal with this but when the moment arrives they don’t want the responsibility….ok well then you don’t deserve to be paid as a vice president then

Thank you for uploading this vid. I missed the live and I appreciate hearing admin BS

Im so proud of this younger generation just listening to them speak was incredible made me emotional because all i could think about are the people of Palestine and how they have been struggling for the past 75 years 🇵🇸 ❤ #justiceforpalestine

damn this is such an intense situation

This guy gets paid $500,000 a year to not know where their money is going

He said like 100 times he wants to have a conversation. He's not really saying anything.

The police raided the encampment this morning. Guess the vice chancellor didn’t care about them lol

Yeah ... Well... Ya know😢😢😢

17:23 that girl straight popped off

Danke für deine Arbeit 💪🏽

They have expectations for the students to behave like adults yet so few people in power are, lol.

“Why should we let him leave?” 👀👀👀

We called when the police got overwhelmed 🤨🤨🤨

"well you know..."

Concerned for the optics but love the passion and truth spoken to power.

admin didn’t show up to this conversation in good faith but tbh the students were all over the place. their yelling at him made sense but it literally has never been shown to be effective w admin. i wish the organizers strategized this convo better. 2-3 speakers w very clear talking points, keeping the main issue of palestine at the forefront, negotiating demands, and getting admin to protect students rights and safety.

Spittin fire

The protesters need someone who can represent the negotiation team.

This is so fascinating as a UCLA grad and current UCR grad student. The Gene Block mention was funny. This students are brave for all they’ve gone through last night. But they sound a little silly bc he’s right that the regents control the Big Things, not that anyone knows who they specifically are. University of California is essentially the state at this point

6:33 have to agree on this, they need to be concise, and level headed. They ALL need to be hyper aware of all these cameras recording waiting to take them out of context.

God bless these students. I'm so grateful they're coming together to press the Universities and stand up for the lives of Palestinians - some of whom attend these schools, and who have lost some or many family members.

I wish they focused a little more on why the protests are happening in the first place

Its unfortunate this happen so immediately after an attack. It has totally hampered their ability to coherently, collectively, clearly, calmly, and captivate the conversation. If given the time and collective time to discuss and ground it'd be decisive.

bret is like a CRAZED DOG ON A LEESHHHHHHHHH. My guy is READY

For a second i thought you meant vpotus

Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, current embassadors at UN and Obama. Yeah, OBAMA.

22:52 that's the funny part, he literally admits that he was watching from his office or another building or whatever during the discussion. He was there, he just hasn't looked at any of the things that happened that have been being posted online. He's just using the "I hadn't heard that and that's why I didn't attempt to do anything about it" defense.

Might have been bad optics before, but with a population sick of the "I don't have power to do shit managerial BS.", hopefully people don't fall for it. Anyone that has called customer service saw that Vice Principal and understood he was there as a punching bag, He was the Universities customer service representative, that has been explicitly ordered not to actually assist but just take the beating. Dude just clocking in for the paycheck, part of the job description is eat shit for the university.

If Mr Vice Chancellor doesn't have any answers, he should have come prepared to have the people with the answers available. But that was not the point of this "negotiation", to come to an agreement. It was to stall and posture. He is the Vice Chancellor of one of the largest universities in one of the largest states in the richest country in the world, you know that he has the ability to make things happen. If this was an event for rich alumni and donors, he could arrange for anything needed, to be available.

i hate when people like him talk like "were going to have to look into it" or "we want our students to be able to express themselves" like we know you read the professional not actually saying anything book. i wish people like this would just talk like normal and not dance around things.

Forget about that 5%. There is a new percentile at play.

He’s not your dad. He’s not a fed. He’s the vice chancellor. 😅

It’s not even 24 hours and all are evicted.

They don’t need to look at it! We have been looking at it! They just want to say welp till it rolls over on the next guy.

Exactly

Why even have a vice chancellor position if you can’t do anything except talk to ANYONE but a single channel? instead of going out of your way to reach EVERY channel and BEYOND for your students. Why don’t you offer yourself to sit with them to keep them safe? If not divestment, protect them instead of being a useless person.
