and the reason that is there is to create their own autonomous zone in the nation's capital. earlier we had a chance to see what was happening. i mentioned that because there are a lot of barriers and other things in the street, those barriers were left here thanks to the dc mayor who cordoned this area off as the black lives matter plaza. these folks, some of them are separatists who want their own country, their own zone, they've been here but they've also been hit by a massive law enforcement presence. it's unclear how much autonomy they will be able to secure if at all. we've seen the police not only cordoned off in this area but seen them put on trucks and take away a number of the barriers we saw earlier. also this evening we saw authorities move into save the statue of old country, andrew jackson, seventh president of the united states, protesters defaced the statue, tried to pull it down but were met by that large contingent of law enforcement officers, secret service, moving the crowd out, they were able to save the statue though it is been defaced with profanity. th

that stands for black house autonomous zone. and one of the reasons that that is there as they try to come as you pointed out, create their own autonomous zone here in the nation's capital. no earlier we had a chance to come down here and see what was happening and i mentioned that because there are lots of barriers and other things that were down here in the street, shannon. those were actually left ear thanks to the d.c. mayor. the supported this area as the black lives matter plaza. now, at some of them are separate tests. they want their own country, they want their own zone. so they have been here, but they'll also have been a large law enforcement presence. we've seen the police here not only courting off this area, we have also seen them pick up and put on trucks and take away a number of the barriers that we saw earlier. speaking of earlier, also this evening we saw authority step into save the statue of the seventh president of the united states, andrew jackson. they defaced the statue. they tried to pull it down, but t

what is your reaction to these autonomous zones? >> hopefully the end of chop is coming but what i'm fearful of is how are we going to do that? the sad result is our elected officials lacking political willpower to enforce the rule of law thus we've surrendered the precinct and now we can't go into a 6 block area under control by people who do not want the police in there and as i predicted, i feared this would metastasize across the nation and as we see news reports that is exactly what is occurring. we have a difficult situation in seattle, the entire country needs to get locked in to see how this is going to be handled because this has big big implications across the country that we live in. shannon: hindsight is 20/20, we can look back and play monday morning quarterback but the question is what type of precedent did it set for the city of seattle to allow this to go on particularly talking about the president set for other cities across the country, people thinking they can do it too. >> we need people to be emboldened. the pol

part of the city and declared it an autonomous zone the city's mayor says using military force would be illegal also this there is a new wave of anti racing protests taking place in london right now these in the latest pictures sorry live pictures we have from there hundreds of black lives matter demonstrators that surrounded the statue of winston churchill which last week in graffiti declaring him a racist. and swedish opposition parties lash out at the government relaxed approach to the corona virus which resulted in one of the highest mortality rates in europe. good afternoon you're watching r.t. internationally she's gone 3 o'clock am more. protesters in the newly formed autonomous zone in seattle are considering their next move having seize control of the area after it was abandoned by police president trump has threatened to send in the army if the local authorities fail to resolve the matter. we're not going to let this happen and if we have to go in we're going to go and to go there is you going to do it but to go to do it he's got great national guard troops to iraq you can

just calling this autonomous zone patriotic.ast night on fake news cnn she predicted that it would lead to a summer of love. wow. take a look. >> how long do you think seattle in those few blocks looks like this? >> i don't know, we could have a summer of love. >> i understand your sentiment mayor. >> we don't have to sacrifice safety for first amendment rights. both exist and we will make sure that both exist in seattle. >> they took over parts of the city, they took over police precincts. summer of love, armed vigilantes, checkpoints and vandalism. or of course a community garden. the police are not invited. what do they call that? i thought that was disconnection, they even built a border wall. tough on immigration policies. i thought liberals were against these thing, and president trump now vowing to restore order, and they are calling this intervention unconstitutional and illegal. now i will say this. my unsolicited humble advice is this. and, and that would be fully the responsible. they choose, they declined the preside

. >> his comments coming amid reports of armed guards and extortion in the so-called autonomous zone. the protesters making a list of demands including defunding the police, degentrification, and free college. at the mayor is pushing back against criticism. watch. >> gathering and expressing first amendment rights, demanding we do better as a society and providing true equity for communities of color is not terrorism. it is patriotism. we've got four blocks in seattle that you just saw pictures of that is more like a block party atmosphere, it's not an armed takeover. we have block parties in this part of seattle all the time, it's known for that. we could have a summer of love. >> i got to go to you, kennedy. you know this part of the world for. what do you think? >> i grew up in portland, i lived in seattle, i love the weirdo atmosphere but this has gone so far beyond that. what you're seeing is totalitarian takeover of people who want a one-party state, there is no longer a freedom of expression or free exchange of ideas. and it's interesting because you talk about degentrification

present trauma's made his feelings clear about the handling of the seattle autonomous zone laying the blame squarely local leaders. of a governor that doesn't do a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesn't know she's alive she's talking about it's going to be a love fest this summer you know if they don't do the job i'll do the job and i've already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they don't do the job we will do that. about 10 different things either any one of which will solve the problem quickly or change this to this video has been circulating online showing a protest to repair at least handing out assault rifles to minors despite being very much against the law in washington state so if a reporter joy spoke to me earlier he says that from what he's seen so far the protests though are mostly peaceful. but largely quiet what you see looks pretty quiet around you're getting somebody filming you over your shoulder and i know you see any trouble. so i think we talk about you know more violence or i think it sort of adam starts with what artists are see on the

let's head to seattle where protesters have taken over the six block autonomous zone. dan springer is just outside that area. i saw your report last night just before -- i was on tucker carlson show just after you, and the protester that was yelling at you, it just seemed very chaotic. what is it like today? >> we were just outside of one of the barricades and those two knuckleheads came up and tried to disrupt our live report, but we have actually fallen back to a couple of blocks away from that now because our presence is not wanted there, but there's been a lot of reporting that there are a lot of guns inside. there were not a lot of guns, however that did happen the very first night, people with long guns there, but clearly these protesters were in this for the long haul. the first couple of days they were calling this the capitol hill autonomous zone but today, that sign was knocked down and we are hearing it being referred to as an occupying protest. either way, this is a 24/7 demonstration that has grown into a commune of sorts. there were lots of tents, food st

leave the station and so this has become the kind of epicenter for for chaz the capitol hill autonomous zone this absolutely beautiful mural of the recent black lives that have been lost in these protests so i'm currently walking down the north part of pike street right now can see on the ground we have a sports car that's been put up i think a lot of people been working on this all week. trying to create a beautiful little space they have here this is the change right here is more restoring a lot of people look at my presidency with the changes already begun so you think this is about police brutality or is this more about systemic racism it exists now or couple do you think the goal of the chances of what's happening down here the goal is the people this is this is the. no this is the goal. everybody here or part of the goal is to bring everybody together i feel like what's going on here is like definitely different playing on the floor some down at cal anderson park right now which has become sort of a living center for the capitol hill a town in the sun you can see in the distance. quite

was generally supportive of what they were doing but obviously they had questions on what the autonomous zone is because they live right inside the zone. it is a kind of a mix. that one individual said neighbors were talking to each other and were generally supportive of the idea, just a matter of what exactly they were planning on doing about it and because of the lack of decisive leadership in the zone is still trying to figure it out and one individual addressed the crowd today saying he believes they are not ready to hold the area if the police decided to move in today or tomorrow. shannon: we heard from the police chief who said we didn't want to give up the police precinct, they went back to visit it, she said she's worried the response time to people calling for help in that area tripled and she has real concerns if police can get to people who need help and they didn't intend to abandon that area. can you tell me if you know anything about it, did it seem they were trying to move back in? >> yes. obviously they didn't want to give up their precinct. all of this is similar to minneapol

how long will this be allowed to go on before someone steps in and says you can't have autonomous zonesbeing established around the country where police are thrown out of their precincts and people who live in those zones who may need access to someone to help them if a violent crime is committed against themselves, their family, their neighbor have nowhere to go. pete: they have been practicing for this for quite some time. sanctuary cities, sanctuary states where laws don't apply equally to people. this is the logical extension of where the left is today. all you have to do is say no, the police and the elected officials are in charge here. they don't have the hutzpah to muster in any of these places there will be an election in five or so months where a lot of this will be litigated. joe biden is still in his basement where he is, seems to be most effective. and he was on the i believe it was the daily show on wednesday and talked about the election. here's part of you who he described whether or not it would be a fair election. >> my single greatest concern, this president is going

well president made his feelings clear about the handling of the seattle autonomous zone laying the blame squarely at local leaders. have a governor that doesn't do a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesn't know she's alive she's talking about it's going to be a love fest this summer you know if they don't do the job i'll do the job and i've already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they don't do the job we will do that. about 10 different things any one of which will solve the problem quickly then there's this video has been circulating online for you to check out apparently showing a protest how they got assault rifles to mine it's a spot that being very much against the law in washington state sounds like his job i said told me earlier that from what he's saying though so far again those protests have been mostly peaceful. largely quiet what you see looks pretty quiet around juggling somebody filming you over your shoulder. how do you see any trouble . so i think we talk about violence i think it's sort of. what you're on the ground have come to understand fo

but obviously, they had a lot of questions what exactly autonomous zone mean because they literally livenside of the zone. so it is kind of a mix really. and so based off of that one individual, he said the neighbors were talking to each other. again they were generally supportive of the idea. it is a matter of what they were planning on doing about it. i can tell you again because of the lack of decisive leadership in the zone, they are still trying to figure it out. one individual addressed the crowd today saying he believes they are not ready to hold the area if the police to side to move in today or tomorrow. >> shannon: well we heard from the police chief who said, listen we didn't want to give up the precinct. they went back to visit it. she said she is worried the response time to people calling for help in that area have tripled. she has real concerns that the police can get to people who need help. they didn't intend to implant in that area. really quick before you go, the visit with the police did you know about it, and are they trying to move back in? >> yes, so obviously, the

streets of seattle, looking at your piece in townhall.com, here are the demands of seattle's autonomous zone and archivists. up on the screen here, here are some of the demands of those protesters. is not only are they not allowing the police into that six block zone, but they are calling for the complete writ of the completes department, taking over the precinct there, retrial for all people of color in prison for a violent crime, desegregation, free college, socialized health care, and they are doing and a way that is jeopardizing the safety of people in the streets there. you just heard from the president, so what do you think about how far the president says he is willing to go to calm the unrest in that city? >> first of all, you look at those demands and think is that all? just free college and free health care and the complete abolition of the police department and the courts in seattle, the end altogether? this is looney tunes. is just be honest. i understand the president's instinct. i think a lot of people in america look at what's happening in seattle and say hang on, that is lawl

they have declared themselves an autonomous zone. they put up a sign that says you were leaving the united states when you enter this autonomous zone. the democratic party today i supposed is still the party of secession. in several cities statues, of christopher columbus had been pulled down or they've been debased and destroyed. most cases they were put up by italian-american immigrants who were proud of their part in the great american story. this is not done in accordance after thoughtful debate. it was done by mobs. just last week the wicked memorial the temple to the great emancipator was defaced to the world war ii memorial, a memorial to those who fought and liberated a world of fascism. across the atlantic the ideological mob deface statues of churchill. wait until they hear about that the other guy did on the other side that you know history is not the long piece of these woke children. they didn't take history class apparently in high school and college. they were too busy taking social justice seminar's. you can see it in

eventually left and that is of course when these protesters moved on to declare it initially an autonomous zoneheres. they're staying here and at the moment that does not appear to be the political will from jenny durkan, whose the mayor of seattle or governor jay insley of washington state to move them out so at the moment these protesters seem to have this area as they want it. we have seen overnight and you've probably seen on twitter a couple of snip-its of video of skirmishes. this is 99.9% being a peaceful protest and these protesters want it to be that way and we'll see how long the authorities are willing to let them stay here. pete: wow. griff: jonathan hunt, great insight there. pete: make sure you get your passport stamped on your way back out of this new country, jonathan thank you so much. i wonder also if you give up your citizenship to the united states you still get your unemployment benefits? maybe that's how they're protesting there, just asking the questions. let's bring on dan bongino who will answer some for us fox news contributor former nypd officer former secret service

of course, an autonomous zone is completely unacceptable.are yourself autonomous, you are rejecting your own country. yet, i heard the summer of love comment that someone else mentioned as well. i'm all for summer of love, but it's going to fail. of course, the associated press and left wing sites are talking about how there is a festival like atmosphere inside the zone. well, that may be happening right now. but reality eventually sets. in they say no cops. no taxes. no guns. well, except at our checkpoints. you know, no borders, well, except we built a wall around the outside of this thing to keep people in. no identification -- wait, no, we are checking id ds when you come in. eventually disagreements and disputes are going to happen. things are not free and without police in a real economy and rule of law it will collapse like every other leftist experiment. the question is, this is the backlash for washington and seattle of catering to antifa and black lives matter. it will boomer ranks, eventually. the question is do you send in the tr

by denying federal funds to cities and states that allow these types of lawless autonomous zones.ere to explain more is author of the new book "daughter of the heartland," iowa republican senator joni ernst. senator, thank you so much for joining us here. explain what your new bill would do. >> well, it is great to be with you, jason, thank you very much. the bill would prevent federal taxpayer dollars from going to those autonomous zones and the mayors and governors that enable the lawlessness to continue. for those mayors that prevent law enforcement from actually going into these areas and policing as they should be doing, we will strip away the federal funding that goes to those cities. we think it is the right thing to do but we certainly don't want to enable those areas. if they truly want to be autonomous, they can exist on their own. >> jason: i think most people would be shocked and surprised how many federal funds flow to these different cities misstates. the department of justice, those type of things. senator, what you see is what has transpired in seattle, in chop or

setting up these autonomous zones. is in, it should be wiped out, if it isn't, it should definitely be wiped out. but it has to stop, no more. the one thank you, rudy giuliani. >> thank you, jesse. jesse: seattle under siege. a socialist takeover and police are now on the run. we have a first-hand account of what is going on with an artists and their encampment of an anarchy coming up next jesse: a big scene in seattle this week. seattle police department basically surrendered after violent protesting. they loaded evidence boxes and computers into trucks and they were treated. they were ordered to do so by jenny durkin. surrendering control of six city blocks to antifa, black lives matter and other radical hippies. i mean, they formed this autonomous zone and police are not allowed in it. they put sensors up to create a border, pretty ironic, and a few armed guys are patrolling and shaking down store owners for protection. you know, they basically seceded from the city of seattle in all this new territory a new name. t
