Summary
As the riots now reach 74 nights Portland has proven incapable of dealing with the chaos.
Amid the ongoing rioting Trump has called for the National Guard to be deployed to end the chaos but so far Democrats have largely resisted federal offers of assistance even as their cities burn.
Chicago's mayor rejected the idea of the National Guard helping after widespread looting struck the city last night and this morning.
But the Democrat had previously rejected Trump assistance when offered. If only the Democrats had listened.
It seems their hatred for Trump is so severe they would deny additional resources to protect their own cities.

| 0:00.0 | In the wake of mass rioting and looting throughout Chicago, mostly in its downtown areas, |
| 0:06.4 | Mayor Laurie Lightfoot is saying, no, we do not need National Guard help. While Donald Trump is |
| 0:13.3 | simultaneously saying it's time to call in the National Guard to Portland over 74 nights of rioting. |
| 0:21.1 | Chicago was hit pretty hard. People were romping about the downtown area, moving through the |
| 0:25.4 | mag mile near the Gold Coast and up into some north side neighborhoods. There's cops getting shot |
| 0:30.7 | at returning fire, a security guards and critical condition. In one video, a man fire several gun |
| 0:35.9 | shots into a window. He's trying to rob a Gucci store. You got another video where it dude rams |
| 0:40.3 | a vehicle into a window as looters cheer him on. And many of these looters are filming themselves |
| 0:45.4 | doing it. These people are not protesting anything. Some of them are pretending they are, but these |
| 0:49.9 | are just opportunists taking advantage of the fact that law enforcement has been crippled in the |
| 0:55.3 | wake of these black lives matter riots. That's why it's surprising to me that considering how many |
| 1:00.4 | nights of rioting we've had in Portland, that the mayor of Chicago is saying no to National Guard |
| 1:06.9 | or federal assistance. Donald Trump right now is saying that we need to send the National Guard |
| 1:13.5 | into Portland to quell the unrest. I find this story rather frustrating. I want to get into the |
| 1:20.0 | crux of what's going on with Chicago because there's a lot of updates here, but the point of this |
| 1:23.3 | is to talk about the deployment of the National Guard and why it's probably appropriate now more |
| 1:28.7 | than ever. You see, Donald Trump deployed federal officers to the federal courthouse on the |
| 1:34.2 | after the 39th night of rioting in Portland. Protesters, extremists, whatever you want to call them |
| 1:41.0 | broke into the building and set fires. Following this, they deployed federal law enforcement to |
| 1:46.1 | bolster the defensive capabilities of their courthouse and that is all. What do we hear from the media, |
| 1:52.0 | though? The media claimed Trump was sending out secret police, his Gestapo, to patrol the streets |
| 1:57.5 | with unmarked vans and vehicles and unidentifiable officers beating people in the streets. It never |
