Hey guys, this is harassment!
Alright, thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
Racists go!
elijah schaffer
We are fighting for the justice of something.
I'm not sure what that is, but all that matters to join this protest is that you don't like Donald Trump and you think his administration are animals.
Come out, come all, bring your drum, bring your sign, and let's march against this administration.
What's up?
I'm here.
What's your name?
unidentified
Marn Karmine.
elijah schaffer
All right, I'm out here with Freddie.

Carrie.
Okay.
Carrie with a K. What's up, guys?
elijah schaffer
So what are we marching for today?
unidentified
To defend the rights of people receiving TPS in DACA.
elijah schaffer
Okay, and how are we accomplishing that in this march?
Yelling really loudly.
unidentified
So I'm representing like Mexicans specifically and like just foreign people in general, I feel like.
Refugees type stuff.
elijah schaffer
What do you think about Donald Trump and his policies here with separating the families?
Like what do you think about his administration?
unidentified
What would you think I would think?
I mean, it's like, to be very honest with you, it's exactly like the Nazis.
elijah schaffer
Right, and what are we yelling specifically?
unidentified
TPS.
Defend trans lives, indigenous lives, immigrant lives, black lives.
elijah schaffer
We're just fighting for all of them.
And so that's the point of it here, right?
We got to fight for everyone.
Yes, that is correct.
Would you say this current crisis at the southern border is as a result of the industrial military complex of the United States?
Absolutely.
unidentified
It's not only that, but it has to do with decades of policymaking since World War II, you know?
elijah schaffer
Say it loud, say it clear.
Immigrants are welcomed here.
unidentified
immigrants are welcome here to be honest i just kept having to run by but i was at the downtown la once i was considered i didn't know about this I was considering joining it just now, actually.
elijah schaffer
Are we fighting against anyone?
unidentified
Yes, Donald Trump and... Ice and Trump.
elijah schaffer
All right, cool.
And so how do we effectively get Donald Trump and ICE to be abolished?
That's a tricky question.
unidentified
Overthrow him.
elijah schaffer
What does your sign say?
unidentified
Man says, deport hate!
elijah schaffer
How do we abort hate?
unidentified
We deport this Trump administration!
elijah schaffer
And how do we deport the Trump administration?
unidentified
We need to fight back with their laws that they're trying to force upon us.
elijah schaffer
I don't know what we're marching for, but I know we're dancing.
unidentified
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.
elijah schaffer
I'm a namana manama.
I'm out here marching against Donald Trump, and I don't like administration because this really sucks.
Gotta go out, march in the streets.
Gotta do my best, big boy drum beat.
What's up out here in L.A. playing my drum?
Got it.
unidentified
Woo. Woo.
Hi, yeah, we're here supporting all the TPS families that are trying to be separated by the recent announcement.
elijah schaffer
Okay, awesome.
And so how are we accomplishing that here through this march?
unidentified
Well, right here, we're voicing, you know, that it's not okay for the government to continue separating families.
And this is Ibel.
This is Ibo.
Whoever is doing this, this is Ibo.
elijah schaffer
Who's doing it?
Who's doing it?
unidentified
What happened?
elijah schaffer
You said whoever is doing this is evil, so who is that person?
unidentified
This is from the Trump administration.
All these corrupt politicians are taking these people and putting them in jail, put them in cages, these little poor kids.
It's not fair.
elijah schaffer
So what are we out here protesting for?
I'm not gonna interview you right now.
Okay, thank you.
What is the problem with us just filming and reporting here?
unidentified
I'm just trying to see what you're about.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, we're just here.
We report.
We're independent journalists.
unidentified
They don't have a website.
elijah schaffer
We're not a TV station.
No, we submitted.
We don't have a website.
We're not that.
So we're just out here currently being harassed by people who don't want us to record here because, yeah, this is a public space.
This is a public space.
Hey, this is public space.
Hey, what's it?
It's fine.
All right, cool.
That's fine.
That's good.
Okay, so we have people that are coming against us filming out here, but we're just trying to record.
Hey, just don't worry.
All right, thank you.
So someone tipped off the people where we're from, and that's what's happening.
unidentified
Cool.
elijah schaffer
Because we were defending Tommy Robinson, people were saying that we are Nazis, but we currently have a Hispanic person filming.
We're here with a Russian immigrant who moved here from she's Jewish, Russian immigrant, but we're Nazis.

All we have done is ask questions, and that has been enough to incite spinning on me and hitting on me.
And I, and you got hit in the head with the drumstick.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, a guy swatted me in the head of the drumstick, but that's just what happened.
Let's see what happens here as we're fighting for what's right in this country and trying to fight for immigration and for services.
So we got our friends all around us.
Thank you who are coming.

elijah schaffer
Come on.
unidentified
Hey, hey.
elijah schaffer
Please, thank you.
So we're trying to report here.
Hey, stop, stop.
Seriously.
We're out here protesting something that I'm not entirely sure.
People are in love with us.
They really like us.
They're going to find out.
So awesome.
God, awesome.
Thank you.
Awesome.
unidentified
Cool.
Cool.
elijah schaffer
Thank you.
Guys, great.
All right.
So they're really loving us.
We have a lot of fans out here.
Yep.
unidentified
All right.
elijah schaffer
That's not harassment.
Hey, don't touch her.
unidentified
Hey.
elijah schaffer
Listen.
What we're trying to find out here is why if we're protesting against Donald Trump, are we so violent and so hey, don't touch us?
We're trying to find out what's going on here.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
unidentified
Hey, hey, We're just recording.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey.
elijah schaffer
Keep that under your arm.
Keep that under your arm.
unidentified
Why are you taking pictures of us?
elijah schaffer
Why are you taking pictures?
I mean, look at that.
Do you see that?
Do you freaking see that?
This is crazy.
We're out here.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Okay.
elijah schaffer
Hey, guys, it's an harassment.
unidentified
All right.
Woo!
Hey, what is going on?
elijah schaffer
What is going on?
unidentified
I know.
elijah schaffer
Gosh, guys.
Gosh, dang.
We're not even raised.
He's Mexican.
unidentified
Bro.
elijah schaffer
Let's get the cost of fucking hold.
No!
So these people don't want us to interview anyone...
unidentified
I do, man.
I've seen your show.
Really?
Yeah, dang it.
elijah schaffer
And okay, so they're calling us neo-Nazis out here, telling us these guys, and they're literally calling us fascists.
Have you seen our show?
unidentified
It's nice and peaceful so far.
I like it.
elijah schaffer
I know, but they literally won't see this guy.
He's like trying to block it, and they keep telling people we're neo-Nazis and stuff.
You've seen the show.
That's not what it is.
unidentified
Nowhere near.
Nowhere near.
So I'm a Christian.
I'm from Ohio.
Yeah, that's why I was at the march today.
I believe that it's really terrible and really anti-Christian what's happening to refugees and immigrants on the border, separating kids from their parents.
I think as I read the gospels, nothing could be more antithetical to the teachings of Jesus.
So that's why I was there.
And I was really encouraged to see just a really good diversity of people.
Parents, kids, people from different walks of life, Buddhists, Christians.
I saw a bunch of clergy out today.
Unfortunately, there were also some people who were a little bit aggressive.
But I don't think that's indicative of the whole at all.
I think they were reacting to something that is a real problem.
And I hope and I pray that our country can get to a place where we can have honest dialogues with each other without attacking.
But I'm also really fearful because I feel like the country's going in a really terrible direction.
And I feel like racists are on the rise.
And I feel like nationalism is on the rise.
And I really do want America to be great.
I won't say again because I don't think that it ever was.
I think that some of these issues are really deep-seated.
And unfortunately, your crew had a bad experience today.
I feel bad about that.
I didn't get to see all that that entailed.
But I hope that you also saw that there were some good, very conscientious people speaking their truth and organizing peacefully.
elijah schaffer
Hey guys, so parking enforcement told us we could park here for the protest.
There are other cars parked here, but we got a ticket for $93 for parking here at the protest.
We need your help.
We don't like asking for money, but we honestly are barely making it here.
We're trying to cover everything.
You saw what happened today.
They broke our equipment with a $93 parking ticket.
We just need your help to keep going and exposing this stuff.
We're pretty shaken up.
We've all been punched.
We've all been hit, spit on, and now we get come back to this.
But we have high spirits because worked in it too deep to stop now.
So if you love us, please go ahead and either support us on Patreon or just shoot us some money on PayPal or in some way, find a way to support us, Cash App, or anything.
Man, we need your help and support.
Let's keep exposing hypocrisy of this kind of thinking that plagues states like California.
