Summary
After police surrendered the east precinct activists barricaded an area called THE CHAZ
The area is now copless and has around 500 residencies. Far left activists have been flocking to the area in what looks like Occupy Wall Street 2.0
Police will likely back off and allow this to continue for some time. Considering all that we have seen over the past few months it will likely begin expanding and could potentially become something dangerous or something silly and eventually dissipate.
The left is arguing that this shows how defunding or abolishing the police would work but so far Democrats have rejected the calls to disband or defund police outright.

| 0:00.0 | You are now leaving the USA, capital hill autonomous zone declared in Seattle. |
| 0:06.4 | The other day I talked about how the police retreated in Seattle, allowing protesters to take the |
| 0:11.4 | East precinct and form what they say is a six block radius, but it looks like it's actually seven, |
| 0:18.0 | I don't know, whatever, there, there, I'm not. But it's expanding. They've actually printed out |
| 0:22.4 | a legit street sign and hung it up. They're playing movies, they're bringing in food, and there are a |
| 0:27.9 | bit of, I don't know, humorous absurdities as this all goes down, and some scary developments, |
| 0:33.3 | like apparently the businesses are being forced to disaffiliate from the city, whatever that means, |
| 0:38.8 | and about 500 people apparently live in this zone. Get to imagine all of them are happy, |
| 0:44.0 | but there's some funny things going on. And more importantly, what is this? Will this be an armed |
| 0:49.7 | takeover? The rise of the far left? Right now it doesn't look like it. Initially, there were |
| 0:55.5 | people wearing body armor, they were calls to get armed, and that still exists. But this actually |
| 1:00.3 | just looks like occupy Wall Street, and that seems to be what it will probably become. Occupy Wall Street |
| 1:06.5 | was allowed to exist, the police didn't really do anything, and the police here have backed off. |
| 1:11.6 | So there's a lot of stuff going on as it pertains to the takeover and what this means for local |
| 1:16.2 | businesses. Earlier in the day, I covered a story about a Sheridan hotel in Minneapolis that was |
| 1:23.8 | basically taken over, and they claimed in their go fund, which is raised over $100,000, the owner |
| 1:28.7 | has graciously allowed them to occupy the building. Well, it turns out that's not the case. The owner |
| 1:35.5 | has just ordered a massive fiction of all these people, so we're seeing quite a bit of developments |
| 1:39.4 | as this story grows. So here's what I'm doing. Let's take a look at what's going on in the capital |
| 1:43.2 | hill autonomous zone now officially called Chaz, which has its own hashtag on Twitter, and how, |
| 1:50.0 | well, how politicians are kind of responding to this, it would seem that Republicans and Democrats |
| 1:54.6 | alike are calling out the movement to defund the police saying no, even Bernie Sanders is straight |
