Richie McGinniss: He Survived CHAZ, Portland, Kenosha, & Filmed It All | TRS 053

Episode Description

What really happened in CHAZ, Portland, and Kenosha riots? Richie McGinniss was there and saw it all. In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux is joined by journalist and filmmaker Richie McGinniss, who was embedded on the front lines during some of America’s most volatile riots from the CHAZ zone in Seattle to the unrest in Kenosha & Portland. Richie shares what it was like to be inside the riots but outside the narrative by capturing raw, unfiltered truth while the media framed a very different story. He opens up about coming to DC & supporting Obama, his time working with The Daily Caller & Mark Levine, his experience during the Kyle Rittenhouse incident, and how seeking truth in chaotic environments requires both resilience and conviction. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone curious about media bias, the collapse of honest journalism, and what it means to stand for truth — even when it costs everything.
