Summary

Andy Ngo, the editor at large for the Canada-based Post Millennial, who was badly beaten by antifa in June 2019, spent five days undercover in Seattle’s so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), also known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP). It's a self-declared "autonomous” and cop-free zone.

Ngo joins the podcast to discuss what he saw, the recent shooting in CHOP, the claims that the violence has been from "a right-wing attack," and more.

We also cover these stories:

President Donald Trump plans to issue an executive order to protect statues from destruction by radical protesters.
Trump said that “autonomous zones” like the one declared in Seattle that has seen shootings and at least one death will not be tolerated in Washington, D.C.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced on Monday that police will slowly return to the city's East Precinct police station. It’s located in Seattle’s Capitol Hill area dubbed CHAZ or CHOP after being taken over by protesters demanding that the police department be defunded.
