Jonathan Choe joins radio host Ari Hoffman on Newsmax’s National Report to discuss Jonathan’s exclusive video documenting an encampment fire in Seattle’s International District near schools and businesses. Elected officials have failed this community with their lack of action. There have been 60 encampment fires in Seattle this year alone. The homeless, and the communities surrounding them, are harmed and endangered as fires continue and the government remains uninvolved.
