No political agenda. No filters. Just raw, on-the-ground video reporting of some of the most polarizing and violent unrest in American history. The chaotic history he recorded nearly got him killed, threw him into the national media spotlight, thrust him into a major trial, and made him enemies on the left and right.

Richie McGinniss -- a fearless new breed of journalist.

Plunging into both the Black Lives Matter and MAGA demonstrations, the 35-year-old McGinniss captures the pure, unvarnished truth of events that have sent shockwaves through the world, providing his audience with the access and perspective missing in mainstream news reports.

Now, McGinniss is stepping back from the mayhem and sharing his experiences in his new book, RIOT DIET, that brings readers knee-deep into the chaos he covered first-hand and provides deep insights into how the media and politicians distort the demonstrations for their own ends.

Among the highlights: McGinniss's first full published account of the harrowing protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020 when McGinniss narrowly avoided a bullet fired by Kyle Rittenhouse, then desperately tried to save the life of one of Rittenhouse's shooting victims. McGinniss became an international media figure -- and political lightning rod – after testifying at Rittenhouse's murder trial.

His recordings received tens of millions of views after Kenosha when he interviewed Kyle Rittenhouse 13 min before the shooting and on January 6, when he spoke with a man smoking a doobie under the Capitol Rotunda.

In RIOT DIET, Richie hopscotches from the Memorial Day riots in front of the White House after the death of George Floyd, to the clash of guards and Proud Boys in Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), to a face-off between the umbrella gang and the NYPD in New York City's protest in front of City Hall, to Portland's teargas-soaked tangles between federal officers and demonstrators, and finally to the smoldering commercial districts and the deadly shootings in Kenosha.
