=== Police Presence Strong (09:16) ===

[00:00:06]  Go to your side.
[00:00:08]  I'm not interested in having a dialogue with them in this setting.
[00:00:11]  These are security forces I imagine right here, some sort of a first line of defense against what they would believe to be an armed militia called the 3%.
[00:00:25]  Alright, so they're throwing paper, which is really nothing.
[00:00:28]  But let's hope it doesn't escalate.
[00:00:41]  All right, so we are right here in the middle of the streets now by Columbia Street and by 4th.
[00:00:50]  The police presence is really strong.
[00:00:52]  As you can see over here, they have a lot of batons, straight-up riot gear.
[00:00:57]  We're essentially flanked on this side.
[00:00:59]  But this side, behind us too, there's a bunch of officers on motorcycles.
[00:01:03]  It's a very strong, I hate to say this, but I continue to say it.
[00:01:06]  It's a very, very strong police presence.
[00:01:08]  All right, here come more riot police.
[00:01:10]  This is what these cops do.
[00:01:12]  Like at the WTO when they declared martial law in Seattle.
[00:01:17]  This is what the role is to protect the government.
[00:01:20]  They defend the people.
[00:01:23]  Yes, these cops are brutalizing people today.
[00:01:26]  They have murdered thousands of people in this country.
[00:01:30]  Shot people in the back.
[00:01:33]  Children, teenagers, murder, dangers.
[00:01:37]  That's what you're footing.
[00:01:40]  Lots of fat to people.
[00:01:48]  Come on, what are you doing, voicers?
[00:01:50]  Just a phone, man.
[00:01:51]  Just a phone.
[00:01:53]  Just a phone.
[00:01:58]  They've just vandalized this car right here, as you can see.
[00:02:03]  Hey, I'm your friend, man.
[00:02:04]  We're nice.
[00:02:05]  I'm nice to you, bro.
[00:02:05]  I've never been rude to you.
[00:02:07]  Never been rude to you, man.
[00:02:09]  I'm a peaceful guy, just filming.
[00:02:13]  Don't believe everything you read about me, man.
[00:02:15]  I don't believe everything about you either.
[00:02:17]  All right, guys.
[00:02:19]  We're here in the streets.
[00:02:20]  We're chasing the fascists through the streets.
[00:02:23]  Danger, danger.
[00:02:23]  There are fascists in the White House.
[00:02:25]  It's up to us to drive them out.
[00:02:28]  Danger, danger.
[00:02:38]  Oh, there's bear mace.
[00:02:40]  That guy's got bear mace in the corner.
[00:02:41]  See him right there, the red?
[00:02:45]  It's the first time I've been called out by name by Antifa.
[00:02:48]  That was pretty good.
[00:02:48]  They come the Elijah.
[00:02:51]  Hey!
[00:02:52]  Because you know what's funny is my name on Twitter just says Elijah in capital letters.
[00:03:09]  Hey, please step off it.
[00:03:10]  Please step off.
[00:03:11]  Whoa, what the f  ⁇ , dude?
[00:03:13]  He just touched my camera man.
[00:03:15]  You just tried to steal guys.
[00:03:17]  My name's Elijah Schaefer.
[00:03:18]  And what you just saw right there was me getting hit in the head.
[00:03:22]  But what does the anti-fascist know?
[00:03:24]  That the only deterrent that a man needs is a fake hat that really is a helmet.
[00:03:30]  Knox up, Buttercup.
[00:03:32]  Let's get back to the protest.
[00:03:36]  Hey, hey, hey.
[00:03:38]  Watch out, guys.
[00:03:39]  You were touching.
[00:03:44]  You do?
[00:03:44]  You just hit me in the face.
[00:03:46]  I saw you f  ⁇ ing f  ⁇ ing cameras.
[00:03:48]  You touched my cameraman.
[00:03:50]  Get away from me!
[00:03:53]  I f***ed up at being a decent human being so badly.
[00:04:12]  I don't know.
[00:04:13]  Guys, I'm not the one talking crap about you guys.
[00:04:15]  I'm just here.
[00:04:16]  Oh, you're just here.
[00:04:18]  Yes.
[00:04:19]  So you're a reporter for the Blaze?
[00:04:21]  Yes, sir.
[00:04:22]  So you want to tell me about how you guys brainwashed my f  ⁇ ing father into believing that nationalism is the correct path?
[00:04:28]  Can you explain that?
[00:04:30]  Basic f  ⁇ ing comment section on the side.
[00:04:32]  They're just like Andy no.
[00:04:34]  We're not Andy No.
[00:04:39]  How many people?
[00:04:40]  Nationalism, Nazism, anti-Semitism, anti-black, anti-immigrant.
[00:04:44]  That happens every f  ⁇ ing article, dude.
[00:04:48]  You guys have a serious goddamn problem.
[00:04:50]  And you're going to sit there and try to talk about how it's, oh, it's fine.
[00:04:53]  You know, we're not responsible for the comments.
[00:04:56]  And you f  ⁇ ing are.
[00:04:57]  Because obviously people are coming to you and talking about these things.
[00:05:02]  They believe you are on their side.
[00:05:04]  Do you want me to condemn that on air?
[00:05:05]  condemn any anti-racial, anti-bigoted, that kind of stuff, all that women that condemn, then yeah, as a Blaze correspondent, yeah, as a Blaze correspondent, I'll let you know that any...
[00:05:15]  Do you still identify as a black woman?
[00:05:18]  No, I don't.
[00:05:18]  I'm actually just legally non-binary in the state of California.
[00:05:21]  I stopped that because I found out a new identity, so I'm good.
[00:05:23]  Okay, that's good.
[00:05:24]  See, that's the f  ⁇ ing thing.
[00:05:25]  I'm legally there.
[00:05:26]  I literally am.
[00:05:27]  You can look at my ID.
[00:05:30]  I'm not.
[00:05:30]  I'm not.
[00:05:31]  I lost protections on YouTube.
[00:05:33]  I lost protections on YouTube.
[00:05:34]  And I told them that I'm not.
[00:05:35]  I'm just from LA.
[00:05:36]  I'm a fun guy.
[00:05:37]  And they told me, look, you need to understand that if you're part of these groups and you're saying that this is what's going on, that we need some evidence.
[00:05:43]  So in the state of California, you have to pay for a form to let them know that you're not against these people.
[00:05:47]  I have plenty of gay friends, plenty of people that are in that community, and I showed them that I'm on their side.
[00:05:52]  Why did you tell me?
[00:05:52]  Supporting who?
[00:05:55]  I'm not here in support of the Three Percenters.
[00:05:57]  That's not what I'm here doing.
[00:05:59]  They don't.
[00:05:59]  They don't support militias and things.
[00:06:01]  They're f  ⁇ ing shit.
[00:06:02]  We're here.
[00:06:03]  I'm a correspondent.
[00:06:03]  I'm literally recording.
[00:06:04]  I'm not even doing anything crazy.
[00:06:06]  I'm just literally recording.
[00:06:07]  You were doing it.
[00:06:08]  Yeah.
[00:06:09]  Why do you support them?
[00:06:10]  I got evidence that they want to start a militia down in Nevada in California.
[00:06:14]  Got it on my phone.
[00:06:15]  We infiltrated them.
[00:06:17]  They booted me out of their rally because they didn't want me knowing about it.
[00:06:21]  They eat, they just make, sell, dress, or...
[00:06:38]  I'm not here to support any side.
[00:06:40]  I'm literally just here reporting.
[00:06:42]  Quit the blaze.
[00:06:43]  Does that mean anyway?
[00:06:48]  Okay, but I mean, there's crazy things said by everybody everywhere.
[00:06:51]  You guys attract certain people, right?
[00:06:55]  The problem with far right-wing politics.
[00:06:59]  I don't think Blaze would be considered.
[00:07:00]  They're kind of mainstream.
[00:07:01]  Dude, no.
[00:07:02]  Not at all.
[00:07:03]  Glenn Beck is the farthest from mainstream.
[00:07:05]  Oh, here they come.
[00:07:07]  I've got to stay up here a little bit.
[00:07:22]  ...about your guys' content that attracts...
[00:07:25]  Basically.
[00:07:26]  And that's something you guys need to really think about.
[00:07:29]  That's a good question.
[00:07:30]  And honestly, anytime I've condemned any type of people like that, and in fact, those people really don't like me.
[00:07:35]  They actually, they make fun of me.
[00:07:37]  They call me a f  ⁇  it, blah, blah, blah.
[00:07:38]  They make fun of me because they say that because those people don't like me.
[00:07:41]  Doesn't concern you that.
[00:07:42]  They don't like me.
[00:07:43]  But doesn't that concern you that those people are attracted to your network, your service?
[00:07:48]  They hate the Blaze, though.
[00:07:49]  The alt-right hates the blaze.
[00:07:53]  Pretty loud.
[00:07:54]  No, but listen, you're a reasonable guy.
[00:07:57]  And obviously, you have your concerns.
[00:07:59]  And my goal on the show is not to do anything but to say, hey, if you have reasonable concerns, me as an independent show, I mean, couldn't you say that just being here out of my echo chamber, taking risking, obviously, there's certain groups here that don't like us, is still just trying to do something different.
[00:08:16]  I'm not with Nazis, I'm not with the 3%ers, I'm just here.
[00:08:29]  So as we walk away from the protest, we have to do a little bit of reminiscing, you know?
[00:08:35]  Like those great times when they said that I assaulted a bunch of their comrades.
[00:08:40]  I don't remember that, but who am I?
[00:08:43]  I mean, I'm just a guy with high IQ, college education, and a successful career.
[00:08:50]  But why would I, what do I, what do I know?
[00:08:53]  You know, I'm also pretty damn good looking, too.
[00:08:56]  Once I lose this double chin that I'm working on, thanks for fat-shaming me, guys.
[00:09:00]  Anyway, back to the story.
[00:09:02]  As we leave this interesting place and we consider what it is we just saw, it was completely and utterly pointless.

[00:09:10]  Nothing was accomplished.
[00:09:12]  Nothing happened that was worthwhile.
[00:09:14]  We just came to watch and observe the children fight with the children.
[00:09:21]  My name is Elijah Schaefer.
[00:09:23]  As you heard earlier, no longer a gay black woman because that's not cool.
[00:09:28]  I am now non-binary in the state of California, but here in Seattle, I may still just be a man.
