Wow, that is quite a shiner. You all
right?
Oh, yeah. I definitely have a black eye.
So, that's what it's been like covering
Portland for the past four months.
Complete lawlessness.
Wow. Uh they say it's just one city
block. Is that even true?
That's not true. So, it went from being
uh a war zone to one city block, but
it's actually several blocks where that
is completely controlled by Antifa
affiliated protesters who harass,
assault, and threaten anyone who who
they perceive to be a threat to their
cause, including journalists, local
residents, and ICE agents. And the the
Trump administration is absolutely
correct in deploying federal troops here
because Portland police has completely
abandoned this zone. They refused to go
in and everyone that shows up is on
their own.
So it's kind of like Chaz or Chop was in
Seattle. They just I guess secede this
territory, seed it to Antifa, and they
just let everything play out.
Yeah, that that's absolutely correct. So
last night I got assaulted and I
immediately ran to a Portland police
officer, hunted down a suspect, chased
her through the streets and said, "This
is my assault suspect. Can you guys
finally do something?" And I had eyes on
her for about 35 minutes. Portland
police refused to come in and make an
arrest. And I had three officers just
standing there watching me uh try to
hunt down the suspect. And imagine my
anger when I go online after doing all
of that about an hour ago and I see
Portland police put out a bolo asking
for the public's help in identifying my
assault suspect. So that is what it's
like on the ground here in Portland and
it's time for a federal crackdown. The
Trump administration needs to start
treating Antifa like ISIS, the
terrorists that they are, and put an end
to them here for good.
All right. So Portland police say
they're investigating. I guess you had
spoken to a dialogue officer. I I I
don't even know what that means, but he
did nothing, so I don't even know what
he's there for. Uh, does it does it kind
of feel like Portland officials
I I can't believe I'm even saying this,
but have formed some sort of alliance
with Antifa?
Oh, absolutely. I would I would consider
them Antifa at this point. Why not? So,
they their whole agenda is to get ICE
out of Portland. So, they're trying to
shield the public from what's going on
down on the ground. But I have four
months worth of video footage showing
warlike scenes happening here. None of
that footage is from 2020. But then you
have Portland Police Chief Bob Day
saying, "Oh, the videos that you guys
are seeing are from 5 years ago." They
are absolutely not. We have the evidence
to back it up. And how dare he do that?
I I'm a journalist. I don't really have
um I don't really say this often, but
Portland police chief Bob Day, you need
to resign. You need to resign
immediately and now because you are a
horrible leader and it's time for you to
