Let's talk about Portland. So you know that independent reporter and editor Andy Ngo, and I know I'm pronouncing his last name correctly. I've only read it. I've never heard it. And how does he pronounce that? Ngo. That's right.

Apparently he went to cover this antifa situation in Portland. They were counter-protesting some supremacists I guess. And they show up in their full dark outfits and masks and they attacked Andy Ngo and hospitalized him. He's actually got a brain bleed now. I say damage, we don't know how bad it is, but apparently it's a brain bleed. I don't know if that's a concussion or if those are slightly different but that's some serious stuff.

If you've never been around anybody who had a brain bleed, sometimes you're not the same. The level of seriousness of that I don't think can be underestimated. And if you saw the attack you saw that it was a crowd. It wasn't just one crazy person. It was a number of people and they were shouting milkshakes. And apparently they're adding some kind of quick-drying cement to the milkshakes. I don't know exactly what that's supposed to do but it's bad news if you get it on you I guess.

And so I'm looking at all this and I'm looking at all these people in masks and I have to assume that the police force allows them to wear masks at an event where violence is almost guaranteed. Think about that. The Portland police apparently must allow them to wear masks. They're not arresting them for wearing masks at an event that you know will be violent. You don't even have to wonder. Is anybody thinking well this won't be violent? No. Nobody thought that. Everybody thought it would be violent.

So I have to ask myself, would you visit a city whose police force allows domestic terrorists to walk down the streets with masks on? Is that a city you want to visit? Not me. Portland is dead to me because I wouldn't, first of all I wouldn't want to be recognized in Portland. Would you? Well you have less of a problem about it than I do but I'm recognizable in public. Imagine me just out and about in Portland walking down the street and being recognized. Is this safe? I don't think so.

I would say Portland is not safe and so I've issued a no, I've declared it a no-go zone. So Portland's a no-go zone until their local government can figure out how to criminalize wearing masks at public riots. If you can't get that right I'm not going to your town. All right. I don't care if my book tour requires me to go there. I'm not going to Portland. Portland's off my list. They need to fix that.

If you can't get people out of masks in public when you know violence is coming, you know it's not even like it's maybe you know violence is coming, then you don't deserve my money. So when I call Portland a no-go zone I'm spelling the no in no-go as N G O. So I'm naming that after Ngo.
