Summary

Portland has become ground zero for a movement the media calls “just an idea.” In this episode, I unpack what Antifa really is—its roots, tactics, and why weak leadership and non-prosecution policies have turned cities like Portland into safe harbors for chaos. Journalist Brandi Kruse joins me to share first-hand reporting (including a recent assault while on the job), expose media spin and political cowardice, and talk about what it will take to restore order. We’ll challenge Christians to pray, vote, defend what’s good, and support honest journalism. If you love the PNW, it’s time to get off the bench.

laboratories for far-left extremism in the United States, particularly from a network that we know
