Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

I am Doc Washburn from Little Rock. Filling in for the great one, Mark Levin will be back live from Israel again tomorrow night.

To join the conversation, of course, call 877-381-3811.

Now, when I say I'm Doc Washburn from Little Rock, I actually had not seen Little Rock until they flew me in here five years ago to offer me a job.

I grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. I came here from Panama City, Florida.

But the one cool thing about being a talk radio host in Little Rock, Arkansas, of all places in the country, is even young people know who you're impersonating when you say,

now look, I'm getting sick and tired of this. And I'm only going to say this once and I want y'all listen, listen, listen, good. I did not smoke cigars with that young woman, mislew it.

What? Well, maybe I did, but I didn't think I did. Now, may I see the definition of the word, please, as my attorney run around here somewhere, because I'm feeling my own pain right now.

If you're picking up on what a puttin' down, I think you just might be. I've done that for people in their 20s in other states. I have no idea who that is in Little Rock, Arkansas, even teenagers are like, yeah, that's Bill shut up. I don't want to hear it.

All right. I got into radio over 40 years ago, because I love music. Couldn't imagine anything more boring than just listening to a guy talk on the radio without playing music until I discovered Rush Limbaugh in the early 90s. And then the rest was history.

And man, how exciting it is to fill in for the great one, Michael, in tonight. All right. Now, have you seen the videos of the Antifa punks beating journalist Andy Know and others bloody in Portland over the weekend?

They've been getting away with this for a while now, because Portland mayor Ted Wheeler, who's also a police commissioner of Portland, has praised them. And apparently the Portland Portland police have been under orders to stand down.

Now, Peter Hasen at the Daily Caller just came out with an article chronically in the fact that Antifa has consistently attacked a journalist who covered them for several years now.

And the violent people are unrestrained. We have chaos and people wind up in the hospital or God forbid worse yet dead. Now Ted Cruz is demanding the Justice Department FBI quote investigate and bring legal action against a mayor who has for political reasons ordered his police officer.

His police officers to let citizens be attacked by domestic terrorists unquote. Well, Ted Cruz is right. Anyone who hits somebody over the head with a brick or a crowbar needs to go to prison for many years as to public officials who ignore the escalating violence and encourage and enable those who committed.

So all of a sudden the Portland police department and the mayor of Portland are now making a show of wanting to bring to justice the perpetrators of the violence after giving Antifa free reign to commit it all this time.

So federal law forces job is to come down on these miscreants like a ton of bricks. Our job is to examine and discover how we got here. What will you do about it?

One constant you'll notice in videos of Antifa violence is that they're dedicated to the cause of attacking those whom they disagree with. They see you as evil.

So the idea of attempting to have a polite conversation with Antifa is out of the question. Also it's against the law to possess a loaded handgun at a public place in Portland.

So if you try to defend yourself with deadly force against the violent mob at best, the same police who ignore the mob violence will arrest you and you'll be looking at a possible $500 fine and six months in jail for violating Portland's prohibition on carrying a loaded gun in a public place.
