Yeah. Oh, Oregon too. I got problems with Oregon.

Yeah. Well, here's the issue. You have, and I don't like just calling people racist because it's kind of like a two-dimensional insult, but you have the most racist state with the most psychotic anarchist city in the middle of it. What is going on up there? How did this happen? The yin and the yang is so extreme that there must be something in the Willamette. What do you have against anarchism?

I used to be an anarchist. When I was in eighth grade, I had this friend named Mads who was part of a group called Seattle Solidarity, which is like an Antifa precursor. So I grew up like going to black block protests. And I mean, there was a particular shooting, the murder of John Williams, who was a Native American woodcarver in downtown Seattle.

He got killed by a Seattle police officer named Ian Burke. John Williams was carving a pipe from a wood block with a pocket knife. He's deaf in one ear. officer pulls a gun on him and says, put it down. He doesn't hear him, he shoots him six seconds later. So that police involved shooting is what instantly turned me into like,

a very critical of law enforcement kind of person when I was super young. And so as someone who used to see this guy who got murdered, he was a 55-year-old man. I used to see him around Pike Place where my mom lived. It's a public market in downtown. That to me put me into the anarchist political sphere, just channeling the anger of that experience. And the officer got no charges, by the way.

It can only exist in a small little chamber.
