Summary

Riots have erupted in the state of Wisconsin following the shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake, by police on Sunday night. What happened? The Racine County Eye reported that rioters have taken over Kenosha, Wisconsin and that the area has turned into a war zone. Is that is a fair assessment of what is happening? Brett Healy, president of the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.

We also cover these stories:

President Trump is now looking to make Chad Wolf the official secretary of the department of homeland security.
Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old man shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is reportedly paralyzed from the waist down.
Greg Goodman, co-president of Portland’s Downtown Development group, is speaking out about conditions in Portland hurting businesses.
