Summary

Portland, Oregon, is three months into rioting after the May 25 death of George Floyd with no end in sight.

What do you think is the driving force behind the continued violence? The far-left anarchist group Antifa has been behind a lot of the violence in Portland. How is the situation developing?

Lora Reis, a senior research fellow for homeland security at The Heritage Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss it.

We also cover these stories:

Two people are dead and a third was badly wounded after a third night of violence Tuesday and into Wednesday morning in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man.
Julia Jackson—the mother of Blake, the 29-year-old man shot multiple times by police Sunday in Kenosha—had harsh words for rioters in an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon, and she also apologized to President Donald Trump for missing his call.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers turned down federal assistance to curb the violence in Kenosha.
