Yeah, you wouldn't even recognize the place after what happened last night, Andrew. So this is a brand new building they just built with grant money from the feds, from Seattle, from the state, and from Boeing. Boeing has this massive engineering program out at the University of Washington.

So the Hamasniks and Antifa activists decide they were going to take it over to protest Boeing supplying Israel with weaponry to fight its war against Hamas. So they took over the building. About 20 of them were inside. About 60 of them were outside.

The majority of them, unlike previous protests, they were mostly Antifa activists as opposed to the Hamas activists that have been at the University of Washington campus since October 7th and have been around for multiple protests. Now, this is also the first time we saw police really come in and break things up.

Let's not forget there was a Gaza encampment there at the Quad for four weeks last year, and the administration caved to all of their demands. So these activists... were dragging out material, they were dragging out furniture, lighting it on fire along with dumpsters. This is a brand new building and they're destroying it.

The group that ran this is a student group called Super UW, which is affiliated with groups that are anti-Israel. They were suspended from campus last year as an official student group because they caused over $50,000 in damage to the Husky Student Union Building, which is where a lot of the kids hang out, where the food court is.

I don't need to tell you that you went there, but they caused over $50,000 in damage to that building. So they were suspended, yet they're still allowed to table on campus. And to make things worse, we know that the campus is not prepared for lots of other actions.

So it's just I mean, lack of leadership from University of Washington says, well, it's a free speech issue because it's an open campus. They can be wherever they want. So a few weeks ago, there's a video that actually went viral of them tabling on campus. And they're selling T-shirts that have Hamas terrorists on them that have images from October 7th on them.

And they're giving out the same material we saw at Columbia University. from those activists there that was printed from the Hamas media group. Also, here's something else. Tonight, there's a Turning Point event on campus featuring Riley Gaines and featuring Olivia Krolchek.

A few months back, Olivia Krolchek came to campus to speak, and she wasn't able to do so because these activists shut down the speech. So the question is, what's going to happen tonight?

ANTIFA, Canada, and Rogue Judges
Well, I think University of Washington is worried about losing their federal funding. They're on the list of schools that's being investigated by the Trump administration. So what happened was this started around 6 p.m. last night, 5, 6 p.m. last night. The police breached the building. They gave the first order to disperse around 1030, and they breached the building around 11.

Everybody was in custody and arrested by about 115, 130. It's a very big building. So yeah, lots of credit to the police, but it seems like everybody was taken by surprise. There was no chatter at There was no posting about this event the way they usually do on social media. So when the police gave the dispersal order at around 1030, they had already assembled on site.

So University of Washington called in the University of Washington police, the Seattle police and the Washington State Patrol, as well as private security to assist with this.

Well, because they've gone away with it for so long. Let's not forget, this didn't start after October 7th. This is the kind of stuff that's been going on since the George Floyd riots that rocked Seattle in 2020, since the deadly autonomous zone where you had six people shot, two people who were killed. Seattle did absolutely nothing about it.

For a month, they let that occupation of six blocks of Seattle exist. Now, last night was a little interesting because we haven't seen much of Antifa this year. We've seen them around. I'm not going to say they were gone, but it's been more... the Hamas supporters. This was the first time we've seen a really big action by Antifa in a really long time.

There's always been some of their activists supplementing these guys. And also, here's something else. They had a manifesto last night where they called it a student intifada, which means armed uprising. And they said that following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa flood on October 7th,

That means they are praising the terrorist attacks of October 7th, and they are happy that Palestine was brought to the forefront of all justice-loving people in the world. And meanwhile, you're talking about Antifa and Hamas terrorists and terrorist supporters that are destroying campuses, that are targeting Jews, that are targeting Christians, that are targeting Americans on college campuses.
