1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:01,920
against all enemies is brought to you

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,960
adree by veterans fighting Fascism and

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,319
by Veterans for responsible

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,879
leadership I would love your reaction to

5
00:00:14,879 --> 00:00:16,560
this I mean this is something that we

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,199
come across in like a group that's

7
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:20,400
recruiting veterans so if you like an

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,880
exer if you look at like questions 15 16

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,039
and

10
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:30,400
17 Jesus

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,880
so I'm looking at an intake

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,440
questionnaire for a violent extremist

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,920
group and I'm going to read you three of

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,680
the questions question 15 are you in the

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,200
military or a veteran if so which branch

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,559
16 if it comes down to it would you go

17
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:42,920
against the oath you took in the

18
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,760
military and law enforcement you could

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,440
end up fighting against your military

20
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,160
law enforcement

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,520
Brothers I mean I I think you got to

22
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,840
consider where somebody has to be in

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,960
order to say yes to those three

24
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,719
questions and also some of the

25
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,000
capabilities and training that some of

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280
these individuals bring there are places

27
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,438
in our military where we are trained uh

28
00:01:05,438 --> 00:01:08,520
to start and fuel insurgencies there are

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,960
places in our military where we are

30
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,159
trained to overthrow governments or or

31
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:15,000
work with armed militias in order to do

32
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,159
that sort of thing I'm not saying this

33
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:17,680
to be alarmist and I'm not I don't think

34
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,759
we need to be afraid of our veterans

35
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:21,479
what I do think is that we need to have

36
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:25,079
a solid understanding uh of of how badly

37
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,040
this could escalate we're not at the

38
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,680
point where violence is the solution to

39
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,079
our problems but there are a lot of

40
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:32,560
people trying to convince vets and

41
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,960
others that we are and that that is a

42
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,720
very dangerous

43
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,920
thing today domestic terrorism is the

44
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,520
greatest terrorist threat facing the

45
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,920
United

46
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:48,960
[Music]

47
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,399
States the threat is real and we are all

48
00:01:51,399 --> 00:01:54,200
at risk for decades violent extremist

49
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,439
groups have sought to infiltrate our

50
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,600
military to gain tactical training and

51
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,479
access to weapons and explosives

52
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,840
I do believe the oath means something

53
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,000
and I know that I'm going directly

54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,598
against people who think that they also

55
00:02:10,598 --> 00:02:13,400
are honoring their

56
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,040
oath I I do solemnly swear the of the

57
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120
United States enemies foreign and

58
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,920

folks that see something that causes

77
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:31,480
violence see something that's dangerous

78
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,720
and shouldn't be allowed in society and

79
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,200
so forth what they don't realize is that

80
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,799
this is what gave us our freedom this is

81
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:41,840

this rifle will never hurt or harm

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,480
anybody unless something that comes up

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,720
against it

00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,079
able to protect ourselves you know the

93
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,000
stuff that they show you on the movies

94
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,880
that's our real life that's who we are

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,199
The Cowboy Way and The Cowboy Way is to

96
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,000
be able to defend yourself

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,199
and uh you know I'm proud to say that I

98
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:37,320
can do that you know pretty

99
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,080
effectively you know I learned how to

100
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,880
ride a horse when I was about six the

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,919
property that we lived at was a lot like

102
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:53,039
this mosqu trees and so

103
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,600
forth my grandfather gave me my first BB

104
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,199
gun and

105
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,720
you know showed me how to aim how to

106
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,199
breathe and

107
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,720
shoot I was taught how to hone into a

108
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,720
Target and be able to actually execute

109
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520
with whatever tool I'm

110
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,080
using but what you learn in the military

111
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,840
in the Army is your Scopes will fail you

112
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:24,199
your red dots will fail you the

113
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:26,319
batteries will wear out but your irons

114
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:30,199
never ever will so I've never had

115
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,199
anything on my rifles other than uh my

116
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:33,400
iron

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,919
sights not the best grouping but from 60

118
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:41,960
yards 50 yards it'll work up

119
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,600
close they all be in the

120
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:49,199
center good

121
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:52,319
boy come

122
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
herey I spent my whole life wanting to

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,639
join the military I mean there's a photo

124
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:01,360
photo right behind me of me when I was

125
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,160
probably like 5 years old wearing

126
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,639
camouflage Head To Toe with a pair of

127
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:08,319
dog tags feel like most kids that I grew

128
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:09,960
up with went through a phase of wanting

129
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,120
to be a cop or a firefighter or an army

130
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,280
man right I never grew out of

131
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,599
that then when I was 16 years old

132
00:06:20,599 --> 00:06:22,639
September 11th happened and it kind of

133
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:25,759
put a different spin on that desire to

134
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:29,280
serve I went to go out and find bad guys

135
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,880
and find

136
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,039
justice so this is when I was 18 years

137
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:38,160
old in basic training and it's the

138
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,039
standard photo that you take before you

139
00:06:40,039 --> 00:06:42,720
know what anything on the uniform means

140
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,440
so you notice there's no ribbon no name

141
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,400
tag anything like that it's a a

142
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,120
barebones uniform I was wearing a shirt

143
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,199
jacket and tie that weren't mine I mean

144
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:56,800
this is ignorance is bliss right here

145
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,759
that's that's what this photo is the

146
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,319
historical record is absolutely clear

147
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,240
that the aftermath of warfare is a

148
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,599
danger point for anti-democratic

149
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:08,759
violence for racist violence for

150
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:10,360
activity among Clan and white power

151
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,960
groups there's no question that this is

152
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,919
the case all of us men women people who

153
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:18,199
have served or not old people children

154
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:19,840
everyone becomes more violent in the

155
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,120
aftermath of warfare I think that what

156
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,120
we don't know yet is what happens to

157
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,520
that phenomenon when we're talking about

158
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,440
a 20-year War

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,560
my career started as a enlisted Soldier

160
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,680
I was Private Crow uh and then um almost

161
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,960
a decade later it it ended as Captain

162
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520
Crow over that period well over a 100

163
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,319
combat missions between Iraq and

164
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:46,560
Afghanistan and of course felt like I

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800
left that part of my life behind

166
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,720
me we will take that Dy we're going to

167
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,840
stor [ __ ] Capital [ __ ] you [ __ ] so

168
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,879
on January 6th I had told all the

169
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,080
members of my staff not to come in to

170
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,080
the office um I had heard reports of

171
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
bugaloo boys and proud boys and others

172
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,360
um filling flights to come into the

173
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,520
[Applause]

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,879
capital I think as a lot of us watch

175
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:17,680
things unfold on the 6th and then have

176
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,319
have looked at a lot of the footage

177
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,759
since you see things we recognize as

178
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:24,599
veterans that's affirmative gu this is

179
00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:28,919
talk on January 6th 2021 US military

180
00:08:28,919 --> 00:08:31,280
veterans who had sworn an oath to defend

181
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,519
the country were at the Vanguard of a

182
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,719
violent attempt to stop Congress from

183
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:38,440
certifying the 2020 presidential

184
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,839
election they were determined to keep

185
00:08:40,839 --> 00:08:43,599
Joe Biden from becoming president you

186
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,600
can actually see if you look at it the

187
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,040
militia groups in the oath Creepers

188
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,120
three centers the proud boys they're

189
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,839
organized they're behaving tactically

190
00:08:51,839 --> 00:08:53,800
they understand that the Dynamics of a

191
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,360
crowd and they're maneuvering to exploit

192
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,360
that mass of bodies you know so you see

193
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,600
an organized line of militia members

194
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,040
with shields ready to go ready to

195
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,600
exploit a breach pushing the crowd in

196
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
certain

197
00:09:06,079 --> 00:09:08,760
directions the mob broke through into

198
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,839
the capital they evacuated leadership

199
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:12,720
they evacuated the floor but they had

200
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,440
forgotten that there were about two

201
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,480
dozen members up in the gallery

202
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,279
everybody stay down get

203
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,600
down the floor of the house was

204
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,720
evacuated but there was no safe

205
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,800
evacuation route evidently um from the

206
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,360
the gallery there's no safe place in the

207
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,680
United States for any of these

208
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,800
[ __ ] military principal 105

209
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,279
cave means grave and that's why I

210
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:37,640
realized we were trapped there was no

211
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,200
way out and we would likely have to make

212
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
a stand or fight our way out this was

213
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,839
one of the most shocking moments of my

214
00:09:42,839 --> 00:09:44,800
life I made the decision to call my wife

215
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,440
and let her know that I uh love her and

216
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,360
tell the kids that I love

217
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,120
them the only time that the US capital

218
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,480
had been breached before was in the War

219
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,360
of 1812 and that was care of the British

220
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,680
king here we are in the capital No

221
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,360
Looking Back Now boys no looking back

222
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,200
this is what we [ __ ] lived up for

223
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,240
everything we [ __ ] trained

224
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,120
for this was the kind of experience that

225
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,279
I expected as a US Marine in Iraq but

226
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:17,000
could never even imagine happening as a

227
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,880
United States Congressman in Washington

228
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,640
DC you know many people have seen the

229
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,440
pictures they had barred the door to the

230
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,040
gallery they were banging on that door

231
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640
and breaking the glass to that door I've

232
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,079
often asked myself how did I end up on

233
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:32,600
one side of that door and my fellow

234
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,040
veterans who raised their same right

235
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,680
hand and took the same oath that I took

236
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:38,880
how did they end up on the other side of

237
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,079
that

238
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,120
door nearly 150 law enforcement officers

239
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,390
were injured in the

240
00:10:51,390 --> 00:10:53,720
[Music]

241
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,959
melee five protesters died and another

242
00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:00,680
four police officers later committed

243
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,120
suicide Donald Trump tweeted out a video

244
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,600
he said we did a good [ __ ] job among

245
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,839
those charged in connection with the

246
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:13,000
attack a disproportionate number are US

247
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,560
military

248
00:11:18,030 --> 00:11:24,600
[Music]

249
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:28,600
veterans for me now the capital is

250
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,760
almost like

251
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,760
around Gettysburg or antium or going to

252
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160
Pearl Harbor and my son Michael was

253
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,480
killed in action in Afghanistan in June

254
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,440
14th 2008 and when you join the military

255
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,680
there's a lot of lot of competing ideals

256
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,440
of why you show up and and for most of

257
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,279
it there's a there's a a large amount of

258
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,920
patriotism but you never lose focus and

259
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,839
never lose sight that you know I'm here

260
00:11:56,839 --> 00:11:58,399
in this country maybe to give them a

261
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:00,519
better chance to experience what we have

262
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,760
in America where it's not perfect we are

263
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,480
trying to form a more perfect union

264
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,720
every day and we want to give that

265
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,839
chance to other

266
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:12,720
people my son died doing that in

267
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,199
Afghanistan only for us to to lose that

268
00:12:16,199 --> 00:12:18,639
sight

269
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,199
here veterans who swear that oath to

270
00:12:24,199 --> 00:12:26,440
protect and defend the Constitution of

271
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,399
the United States against all enemies

272
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:30,120
foreign and

273
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,680
domestic of all

274
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,160
Americans they should

275
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,880
understand how dangerous and

276
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,760
unpatriotic this

277
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040
Insurrection

278
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,920
was they were trying to

279
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,480
overthrow democratic election

280
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,720
results they shouted for the hanging of

281
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,360
our own vice

282
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,959
president that's a coup

283
00:12:57,399 --> 00:12:59,519
attempt watching the instr Direction

284
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:01,480
happened and we're going to call it that

285
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,920
because that's what it was and watching

286
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,279
veterans participate being at the

287
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:09,000
Vanguard of that Insurrection it just

288
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,839
it's mindboggling but I I don't I don't

289
00:13:10,839 --> 00:13:13,000
have a really good answer for why why

290
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,240
veterans would do

291
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,659
[Applause]

292
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,000
that though I was trained to blow stuff

293
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,399
up and run with the Infantry I became

294
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:26,480
this unofficial On The Ground

295
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,279
Intelligence reporter May 15 20

296
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,920
2005 we got called to uh respond to a

297
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,600
body that was found in a trash dump

298
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,040
outside solder City when we got there uh

299
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,000
we realized that it wasn't a body it was

300
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,480
a bunch of bodies and uh I had never

301
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,920
experienced anything like it and now as

302
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,639
I was taking photos closeup photos of

303
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:53,680
these faces of victims of murder and

304
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,800
torture I was looking at their wounds

305
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,360
and looking at the packaging tape that

306
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,279
was wrapped around their eyes and imagin

307
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:00,600
the terror that they

308
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,320
felt and every time I snap a

309
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,000
picture one of those faces

310
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,600
freezes

311
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,920
and the way that it froze on the screen

312
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,560
it froze in my

313
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,880
head but that was just a day of

314
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,680
deployment and I had 6 and 1 half months

315
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,759
7 months left of Iraq to deal with

316
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:30,360
that I went in as 11 br to the Army I

317
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,040
scored fairly high so I went to Airborne

318
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920
school which was going to be my next uh

319
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,320
step of training for special forces and

320
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,920
uh during that time I ended up getting

321
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,759
injured really

322
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:46,720
badly when I came home I had spent my

323
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,000
entire adult life up to that point you

324
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,519
know either training for combat or in

325
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:53,880
combat it was hard for me to think of

326
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,480
anything positive in any way whether

327
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,120
it's for myself or for my country or for

328
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,360
democracy or for the

329
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,839
world I couldn't help but base my

330
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:08,800
beliefs and my feelings on my

331
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,279
experiences all of which had been

332
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:14,320
horrifically [ __ ]

333
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,079
negative when most come out of the

334
00:15:17,079 --> 00:15:20,120
military they're coming out to a world

335
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,800
that they no longer understand anymore

336
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,680
you really get lost in that life when

337
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:24,880
you're in the military you know what

338
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,000
happens is you have the camaraderie the

339
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,160
friendship all the good things that you

340
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,560
have in the military and then when you

341
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,720
come out you kind of have Society that's

342
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,639
undisciplined incapable and and just

343
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,160
downright

344
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,720
ugly good evening I'm Jamie yucas a

345
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,519
massive police presence in Portland

346
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,079
Oregon today in anticipation of a

347
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:48,560
violent

348
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,519
confrontation I'm a proud boy I'm a

349
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:53,240
president of the Hellgate Bridge crew

350
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720
chapter in New York City I'm also an Air

351
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,839
Force veteran what we're going through

352
00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:00,920
right now is is a war on the US

353
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,839
Constitution biggest reason why I joined

354
00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:06,680
the Air Force myself you know it's to

355
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,199
get back to my country to serve my

356
00:16:08,199 --> 00:16:10,759
country I think a lot of that kind of

357
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:13,399
came from my up upbringing you know the

358
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:15,240
family that I grew up in you know very

359
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,040
proud to be an American uh very proud of

360
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,319
what America stood for what it

361
00:16:19,319 --> 00:16:21,199
represented around the world very

362
00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:23,160
patriotic and I think a lot of those

363
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,279
things that which last today members of

364
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,519
The Proud boys and antifa fought

365
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:29,519
multiple times mayor Ted wheeler just

366
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:31,279
sent out a statement late today saying

367
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:33,360
this past weekend quote put innocent

368
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,279
lives at risk the proud boys were

369
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:39,480
founded in New York in 2016 you want to

370
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,440
keep on poking a Sleeping Bear guess

371
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,199
what it's going to rise up and it's

372
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:45,720
going to be 1776 up in this [ __ ] and

373
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,839

terrorist organization by Canada we're

375
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,600
Western shauvin but that essentially

376
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,759
means is that we're the biggest

377
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,319
cheerleaders for Western values Western

00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,599
the housewife we're not militaristic in

383
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,599
any way shape or form the fact of the

384
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,160
matter is you have good guys in this

385
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,079
world you have bad guys in this world

386
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:16,400
and the only way to stand up to the bad

387
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,079
guys is to fight them they came to

388
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,119
prominence in America in September 2020

389
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,760
during a presidential debate between Joe

390
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Biden and Donald Trump suprem

391
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:33,760
right stand back and stand by when I saw

392
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,080
the president of the United States

393
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,160
telling an extremist violent

394
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,080
organization stand

395
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,240
by that was a chilling moment that was a

396
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,840
chilling moment for me it wasn't any

397
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,440
different than a president of the United

398
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,960
States telling Al-Qaeda or telling Isis

399
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,679
look I have a tough election stand by

400
00:17:53,679 --> 00:17:55,240
let me tell you what you need to do did

401
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,039
we get a lot of notoriety absolutely of

402
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:00,039
course we did but at the very same time

403
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,039
it's it's not because we're racist it's

404
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:04,159
not because we're white supremacist if

405
00:18:04,159 --> 00:18:06,240
we think about what the militant right

406
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,000
and white power movement looks like

407
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240
today there are many of these groups the

408
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,960
specifics can change from group to group

409
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,039
but the overall intent is the same the

410
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:19,320
common ideology is simple uh we had

411
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,880
power we should have power power is

412
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,360
being taken away from us and by any

413
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,440
means necessary we can get it back

414
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,000
fascist groups you have National social

415
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,080
group you have Southern nationalist

416
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,280
groups you have all types of groups with

417
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,559
all types of Creeds but ultimately we're

418
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:34,159
all being united because we all believe

419
00:18:34,159 --> 00:18:35,640
in the same thing which is ultimately

420
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,640
that white people have a right to exist

421
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,280
and whether the Wii is a white Wii will

422
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,480
not replace us whether the wi is an

423
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,919
anti-government we they're all

424
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:50,919
intertwined the more laws they pass it's

425
00:18:50,919 --> 00:18:52,720
going to end up the people versus the

426
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,640
government right now we're being

427
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,120
peaceful in the future nobody knows when

428
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:00,200
that breaking Point's going M should

429
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,919
have hit a long time ago personally for

430
00:19:01,919 --> 00:19:03,960
me a lot of people think that ah you

431
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,520
know these are Knuckleheads and we

432
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,679
shouldn't worry about them unfortunately

433
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:09,520
we said the same thing about the jihadis

434
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,000
prior to the events of 911 they live in

435
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,200
caves in Afghanistan they don't pose any

436
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,120
threat to the Homeland but by the time

437
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,080
we decided to go after them after 9/11

438
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,480
it was a little bit too

439
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,289
[Applause]

440
00:19:25,679 --> 00:19:28,240
late I would like to think that we would

441
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,080
draw the attention of people that are

442
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,159
from the military with the military

443
00:19:32,159 --> 00:19:34,559
background and I think it it it would be

444
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:36,520
true of like the three centers or the Y

445
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,960
Keepers the one thread that kind of

446
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,320
combines all of our groups is the US

447
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Constitution our respect for

448
00:19:54,159 --> 00:19:57,400
it and I signed up to defend this

449
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,679
country I was essentially joining the

450
00:19:59,679 --> 00:20:03,000
3centers already the oath of enlistment

451
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,200
is the exact oath of a 3center I do

452
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,120
Solly swear I do so Solly swear that I

453
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,880
will support and defend the Constitution

454
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,880
I will support and defend the

455
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,240
consti of the United

456
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,360
States United States against all enemies

457
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,840
against all enemies foreign and domestic

458
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,360
foreign and

459
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:30,600
domestic in Atlanta I met up with 3% SF

460
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,760
and some of the other brothers out there

461
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,799
and everybody was upset about the

462
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,159
election you know I mean basically we're

463
00:20:37,159 --> 00:20:39,200
looking at a criminal that has become

464
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,799
our President

465
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:43,960
illegitimately Joe Biden has already

466
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,919
harmed this country his son has already

467
00:20:45,919 --> 00:20:48,720
harmed this country we know for a fact

468
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,880
that that family is a criminal family

469
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,120
the situation we're in is a situation of

470
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:58,360
treason the punishment for treason is

471
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,600
death

472
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:03,360
in America you have the right to be an

473
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:06,440
[ __ ] you have the right to have the

474
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,280
most pathetic views in the world I don't

475
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,760
have to agree with you you don't have to

476
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,320
agree with me but that is a right

477
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,039
protected by the first amendment I think

478
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:14,799
when we talk about violent extremist to

479
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:16,400
groups we're talk we're talking about

480
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,320
individuals that go

481
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,039
beyond the narrative to violence people

482
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:25,960
who are planning to attack the US

483
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,240
government because it's an evil empire

484
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,799
people who are trying to you know kill

485
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:33,840
Jews or kill immigrants or kill black

486
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,039
people just based on their race or on

487
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:40,279
their religion when you move away from

488
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:42,799
the narrative as

489
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:47,240
ugly as that narrative is to carry out

490
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600
violence based on that narrative to

491
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,880
recruit individuals to carry out

492
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,600
violence based on that narrative then

493
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,679
you're a violent extremist then you're

494
00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:00,520
frankly a terrorist

495
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,520
get get off

496
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,679
get we used to talk about IEDs

497
00:22:10,679 --> 00:22:13,960
improvised explosive devices in Iraq and

498
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,760
they were incredibly lethal and what we

499
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,480
learned as we tried to stop this was

500
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,559
that the problem was not the bomb itself

501
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:23,919
the problem you had to go left of the

502
00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:27,200
boom you had to go Upstream to the

503
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,960
problem and look at where where the

504
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,480
problem is coming from where's the

505
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,799
energy January 6th now a militia group

506
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:36,720
had stashes of guns on the outskirts of

507
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760
DC ready to go on that fateful day

508
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,159
during the Insurrection that's just one

509
00:22:42,159 --> 00:22:44,000
of the alarming allegations from the

510
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,480
justice department today after the feds

511
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,799
charged the leader steuart rhods and

512
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:50,520
several members of the right-wing group

513
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,440
The oathkeepers with seditious

conspiracy Stuart rhods is a former Army

in 2009 he founded the oathkeepers a

517
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:05,080
shadowy organization that recruited Law

Enforcement Officers active duty

519
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000
military and Veterans their mission was

520
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,200
to supposedly defend the US Constitution

521
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,360
but it quickly devolved into an armed

522
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:20,120
militia dedicated to overthrowing the US

523
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:22,760
government the founders told us more

524
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,600
wisdom that we must be the militia you

525
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,960
will not be secure you will not be free

526
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760
without it it's time we resurrect that

527
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,880
and become the militia once again there

528
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,720

organization most of them heavily armed

530
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:39,760

00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,960
I think it's unavoidable now got too

556
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,360
many brainwashed Americans who' been

557
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:52,919
brainwashed by communist professors and

558
00:24:52,919 --> 00:24:56,240
teachers to hate their own

559
00:24:56,679 --> 00:25:00,200
country what do I want

560
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,159
I what do you do with someone that hates

561
00:25:02,159 --> 00:25:04,279
your own country and hates you buy a

562
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:05,840
close extension if you believe in your

563
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,240
country still 3 2 1

564
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,279
go behind right

565
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,159
behind it's almost like you're in a

566
00:25:19,159 --> 00:25:21,279
foreign country doing a stability

567
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:23,679
operation against an Insurgency one of

568
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:27,440
our guys up there is f p for vet and we

569
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,279
got another one that and retired stff

570
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:30,760
Ser

571
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,200
that's I'm not surprised that extremist

572
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,200
organizations try to recruit veterans

573
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,000
for The credibility that we bring but

574
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,799
also for our commitment um and that

575
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:40,880
commitment takes a lot of forms veterans

576
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,080
are people in our society who in many

577
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,080
ways have said I will do whatever is

578
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,039
necessary to preserve what I believe in

579
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,039
to preserve the Baseline values and the

580
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:50,799
Baseline existence of my Society up to

581
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:52,360
an including

582
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,520
violence put a scope on them take a peek

583
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,480
at and see if they got that's same kind

584
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,559
of [ __ ] they've been doing their whole

585
00:25:57,559 --> 00:25:59,279
career you know now doing here inside

586
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:00,559
the United States it's kind of a weird

587
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,640
feeling I had two purple two purple

588
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,799
hearts already in a bron St they said

589
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:06,080
David only the way we'll call you back

590
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,960
in if the [ __ ] going to hit the f I came

592
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,080
taking a shower she'd come pounding on

593
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,640
the door early in the morning she poting

594
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,240
a TV by the time second airplane hits

595
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,159
911 well 3 weeks later I was getting my

596
00:26:21,159 --> 00:26:23,559
shots our group was the second group

597
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:25,580
that enter Afghanistan H H

598
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:26,840
[Music]

599
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,960
man it's

600
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,880
it's so enticing I mean I um God you get

601
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,200
to fight again you know it's um you know

602
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,960
you're trained in certain things you

603
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,320
know you can see the battlefield better

604
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,720
uh if you believe the country is under

605
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,399
attack you have a certain set of skills

606
00:26:44,399 --> 00:26:46,520
that maybe you were trained uh trained

607
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,640
with that you can you know help the

608
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,279
group around you right you're a force

609
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,880
multiplier the quential examples of a

610
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,600
force multiplier are special forces Army

611
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,840
Green Berets you know these 12-man a

612
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,000
teams that actually go Behind Enemy

613
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,200
Lines and train up to a battalion you

614
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,760
know up to six or 700 local indigenous

615
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,120
forces on combat skills certainly I

616
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:08,399
think that's one of the reasons why some

617
00:27:08,399 --> 00:27:11,360
of these extremist groups are recruiting

618
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,760
these individuals very deliberately into

619
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,360
their

620
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:18,240
movements they're [ __ ] coming

621
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,559
that's you need lock load ready to go

622
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:23,799
hey guys everybody spread out get eyes

623
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:27,640
open get a good perimeter

624
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,120
they light [ __ ] on fire we can shoot on

625
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:36,000
them right yep very [ __ ] well

626
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,279
hopefully they light sh on

627
00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:42,519
fire when I was 21 and severely

628
00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:45,279
damaged from a war that I had been lied

629
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:48,399
into and that my friends were dying for

630
00:27:48,399 --> 00:27:50,320
when a guy like Stuart rhods comes along

631
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,640
with a Yale law degree and they see the

632
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,320
eye patch they don't know that he shot

633
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,240
himself at a range but they assume he's

634
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,120
a combat wounded vet and says like hey

635
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,039
you can support and defend the

636
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:02,600
Constitution of the United States

637
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,320
standing with us and just you know

638
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,760
repeats the words of the the the second

639
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,640
amendment that that's all it took for me

640
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,640
to be like okay you know you know you've

641
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,919
got the pedigree you've got the

642
00:28:13,919 --> 00:28:16,159
background why should I challenge that

643
00:28:16,159 --> 00:28:19,760
you I I have no basis in in experience

644
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,919
or education to challenge it

645
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,269
[Music]

646
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,279
they're not going to let him get

647
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:34,360
anywhere near yeah no cuz we're going to

648
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:36,039
[ __ ] pain the streets

649
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:39,279
man the challenge with having veterans

650
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:42,480
directly involved is twofold the first

651
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,320
is that they bring a certain expertise

652
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,880
they might bring in organizational

653
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,640
skills or military skills that can make

654
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,279
a movement more dangerous all right War

655
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:55,279
up let's

656
00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:57,799
go the second thing that's disturbing

657
00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:00,919
how ever is particularly in our society

658
00:29:00,919 --> 00:29:03,640
veterans have legitimacy they have a

659
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,000
particular place of respect and when we

660
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760
see veterans involved in something it

661
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,679
gives some component of legitimacy to

662
00:29:14,679 --> 00:29:16,880
that

663
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,519
cause our command's been trying to tell

664
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:21,519
us to inform you that you are breaking

665
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:24,720
curfew right now yes sir so if you could

666
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,039
just go back to your

667
00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:29,640
post not not by us just by we will have

668
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,600
to enforce

669
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,919
C appreciate

670
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,559
it

671
00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:42,840
very veterans have a kind of social

672
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,360
cache that provides cover for a lot of

673
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,559
the extremist activity that these groups

674
00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:50,200
are trying to do so if you turn out to a

675
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,640
protest with a bunch of people in

676
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,799
uniform much like if you turn out with a

677
00:29:53,799 --> 00:29:56,039
bunch of women um you have a different

678
00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:58,240
kind of reception than if you turn turn

679
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,480
out wearing say swastikas and hoods and

680
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,120
robes so when we think about this this

681
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,720
is along the lines of something like

682
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,840
choosing to come out in polo shirts and

683
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,519
khakis or choosing to come out in funny

684
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:13,880
Hawaiian shirts as part of bugaloo those

685
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,080
are deliberate decisions that are made

686
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600
to create the opportunity for public

687
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,640
reception and the use of veterans is one

688
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440
way to do this among several I've not

689
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,200
been a part of any militia beforehand

690
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,480
but once they opened up and said that

691
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,919
they were doing all BLM and they you

692
00:30:28,919 --> 00:30:31,200
know I've seen my city on fire I I was

693
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,960
just like I've had enough and so I you

694
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,080
know I reached out to my local militia

695
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,760
and you know I've been with them ever

696
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,000
since When You're vulnerable and you're

697
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,600
looking for family cuz that's what the

698
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,640
people you serve with are they look like

699
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,880
they could be family they look like they

700
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,480
can provide you that sense of purpose

701
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,799
that mission that camaraderie that you

702
00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:55,840
had in the

703
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,519
military that you became dependent on

704
00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:03,799
that became the center of your identity

705
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:06,880
they could give that back to

706
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:10,919
you and when he tells you to fight you

707
00:31:10,919 --> 00:31:14,440
have no reason to question that because

708
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,240
he's giving you purpose and he's giving

709
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,639
you

710
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,320
mission do you say the oathkeepers are

711
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,639
preparing for potential violence on and

712
00:31:23,639 --> 00:31:26,039
around election dat yeah yeah we got our

713
00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:28,279
people across the country um making

714
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:30,039
plans that there's too many of us

715
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:31,639
there's too many veterans first of all

716
00:31:31,639 --> 00:31:33,519
too many freaking military veterans

717
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:35,360
that's one thing I'm not a big fan of

718
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,880
the war on terror that did WR a lot of

719
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,679
our rights one thing it did give us is a

720
00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:42,159
massive pool huge pool of combat

721
00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:45,519
veterans and about 95% of them are on

722
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:48,240
the conservative side or on the side of

723
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,679
the Constitution yeah so it's not going

724
00:31:50,679 --> 00:31:53,279
to play out very

725
00:31:53,860 --> 00:31:55,639
[Applause]

726
00:31:55,639 --> 00:31:59,639
well and so when I look at January 6th

727
00:31:59,639 --> 00:32:01,760
of course there were people who did

728
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,600
violence and climbed Gates and caused

729
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,039
trouble but in my view they were likely

730
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:09,760
the foot soldiers they were the result

731
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,559
of the efforts of other people there's

732
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:13,919
the man behind the curtain pushing

733
00:32:13,919 --> 00:32:15,440
everybody out you know these These are

734
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,840
the half-cock plans the guys who go

735
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,440
early the people you really have to

736
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,039
worry about are the people you don't

737
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:21,880
even know exist until you're 2 years

738
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,320
into the conflict CU they're tactically

739
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,919
patient and they're watching you oh my

740
00:32:26,919 --> 00:32:29,399
god and I still I'm absolutely stunned

741
00:32:29,399 --> 00:32:31,440
that people don't see how awful January

742
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,480
6th was and what an indicator that is

743
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,799
and how it's escalating and anybody who

744
00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:38,559
says that this can't happen in a worse

745
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:41,519
way either they're ignorant um or

746
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,799
they're part of the problem overran the

747
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:46,480
capital we're in the [ __ ] Capital bro

748
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,519
people shouldn't look at the

749
00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:51,320
Insurrection at the capital as an

750
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,720
anomaly we should pay attention to the

751
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,880
pattern that got us there

752
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,279
in the name of Jesus Christ we light

753
00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:09,600
this cross and as light dispels Darkness

754
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,240
so may his word and his example dispel

755
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,039
the Heathen from our midst amen

756
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:23,679
amen father son you will

757
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:26,520
conquer white the Tre

758
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,120
[Applause]

759
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,279
power we will fight we will fight there

760
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:35,399
is one American example of an

761
00:33:35,399 --> 00:33:36,960
extraordinarly successful terrorist

762
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,760
movement and that is of course the G

763
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,159
Clan many people in the clan talked

764
00:33:43,159 --> 00:33:45,440
about their experience as a continuation

765
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,360
of warfare the first wave came after the

766
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Civil War and here we saw prominent

767
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,760
veterans like Nathan Bedford Forest Who

768
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Rose to leadership of that

769
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Clan and although it started as a

770
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,559
veteran social organization it very

771
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:02,080
quickly pivoted to extr Legal violence

772
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,240
targeted at African-Americans which

773
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,840
included Night rings lynchings serial

774
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,040
rape serial murder all of these things

775
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,119
were designed to create Terror in

776
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:16,239
African-American communities to control

777
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,679
labor pools to control local politics

778
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:22,359
and to keep African-Americans from the

779
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,639
polls one of the main parts of the Jim

780
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,440
Crow era was something that we would

781
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,199
think of today as election subversion

782
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,199
and we would see in States like Georgia

783
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:36,760
where they refuse to seat 33 State

784
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,560
legislatures we saw in States like

785
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,960
Louisiana where they refused to seat a

786
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,520
duly elected United States senator in

787
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,399
North Carolina where they held a coup to

788
00:34:47,399 --> 00:34:49,199
overthrow black

789
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,239
leadership in

790
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,399
Wilmington and in Mississippi when

791
00:34:53,399 --> 00:34:55,839
winning elections by fraud and violence

792
00:34:55,839 --> 00:34:58,079
became increasingly difficult white

793
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:00,280
politicians turned to the state

794
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,040
constitution in 1890 Solomon Calhoun the

795
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,599
convention's president gave delegates

796
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:09,280
their marching orders we came here to

797
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,040
exclude the Negro nothing short of this

798
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,240
will answer the pole tax and literacy

799
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,079
tests that were written into Mississippi

800
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:19,560
Law were so effective at keeping blacks

801
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,040
from voting that Calhoun's strategy

802
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,640
became a model for the rest of the South

803
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,119
staying in place for almost another

804
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:30,320
century the clan managed to keep

805
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,560
African-Americans from voting for 100

806
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,200
years uh that is an astonishing

807
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,240
political success and it happened

808
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,000
because the clan was politically

809
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,839
powerful really well connected largely

810
00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:44,000
in the Democratic party not just in the

811
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,720
South and was able to establish itself

812
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,599
as a counterpower that would stop the

813
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:53,760
emergence of new voters whether those

814
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,960
voters were blacks or indeed Catholics

815
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,560
who they didn't see as genuinely

816
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,400
American the next and most politically

817
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,599
effective wave of KKK activity came

818
00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:07,440
after World War

819
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,680
I the second clown that emerges after

820
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,000
Birth of a Nation a movie that really

821
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,920
changes the perception of the clan that

822
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,280
wood Wilson as president screens in the

823
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,079
White House allows a new media Savvy

824
00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:28,160
extreme

825
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,240
movement to

826
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,960
emerge and this is when you really saw

827
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,200
the group take off not just in the South

828
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,240
but Nationwide this is the clan that

829
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,560
reached a membership of some 4 million

830
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,280
people and 10% of the state of Indiana

831
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,040
they were parading in public on the

832
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,800
National Mall in Washington DC and the

833
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,720
founder of that organization had been a

834
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,720
veteran of the Spanish American

835
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:54,839
war it comes to head in 1924 the

836
00:36:54,839 --> 00:36:57,200
Democratic party has a convention a

837
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,800
Madison Square Garden and the klex clan

838
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,119
decides that it's going to stop the

839
00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:03,960
Democratic Party from condemning Clan

840
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,400
violence and they pretty much take over

841
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,760
the party and make sure that it is

842
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,440
running on their agenda now if you want

843
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,040
the optimistic story four years later

844
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,839
the Democratic party changes if you want

845
00:37:14,839 --> 00:37:17,400
the pessimistic story a major political

846
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,200
party gets co-opted and taken over by a

847
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,200
violent insurrectionist terrorist

848
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,680
movement the kkk's grip on the

849
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,520
Democratic party soon ended but nearly

850
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,359
100 years later attempts to subvert free

851
00:37:31,359 --> 00:37:35,079
and fair elections have not you rigged

852
00:37:35,079 --> 00:37:37,839

00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,079

855
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:46,960

00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,319
just been working elections their whole

857
00:37:48,319 --> 00:37:53,040
life or respected leaders on on both

858
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,359
sides that are being inundated with some

859
00:37:56,359 --> 00:37:57,920
of the worst types of threat that you

860
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,040
can imagine you and your family will be

861
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,599
killed very slowly the death threats

862
00:38:02,599 --> 00:38:04,800
came by text to Trisha raffensberger

863
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,040
wife of Georgia Secretary of State As

864
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,960
Trump attacked him incessantly for

865
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,440
standing by the election results in

866
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,280
Georgia he's an enemy of the people

867
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,599
intimidation is a form of voter

868
00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:18,480
suppression and goes hand inand with

869
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,160
with election subversion both in our

870
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,079
history and today they're trying to rig

871
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:24,319
an election and we can't let that happen

872
00:38:24,319 --> 00:38:25,760
I hope you're all going to be pole

873
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,160
Watchers the entire pole watching

874
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,880
program for the Trump campaign was

875
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,440
called Army for Trump we need every

876
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,319
able-bodied man woman to join army for

877
00:38:37,319 --> 00:38:40,200
Trump's election Security operation the

878
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,000
underlying narrative the messages that

879
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,079
were pushed were one of we need to go

880
00:38:45,079 --> 00:38:48,720
protect and stop fraud from uh coming

881
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,000
into our elections it was a very

882
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,200
militaristic campaign to increase its

883
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,560
operational effectiveness Trump's Army

884
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,160
enlisted group group like true the vote

885
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,520
which had many veterans within its ranks

886
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,560
as a veteran we're sworn to support and

887
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,400
defend the Constitution my brothers and

888
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,119
I were willing to shed our blood on the

889
00:39:09,119 --> 00:39:12,440
battlefield to protect the beliefs of

890
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,720
the Iraqi people so they can vote so I'm

891
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,760
asking you as Americans to take

892
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,440
involvement in this vote and the idea

893
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,040
that military service entitles you to

894
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,079
talk about protecting the Constitution

895
00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:25,280
is a real problem because it gives a

896
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,000
level of justification these groups do

897
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,119
not deserve have not earned if you have

898
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:31,440
any information about ballot harvesting

899
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,680
in your state go to true the vote it's

900
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,119
called trueth vote.org and I sure I'm

901
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:38,800
sure a lot of people in this audience

902
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,000
saw plenty if there's always this

903
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,520
underlying belief that people are trying

904
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,680
to game this system in an unfair way

905
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,880
then regardless of the intent of the

906
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,720
people that are are are brought into

907
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,440
that system that default will always be

908
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,160
there to to police that vote and we know

909
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,359
that that's going to have a dis

910
00:39:57,359 --> 00:39:59,520
proportionate impact on communities of

911
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,960
color we're trying to build an army here

912
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,400
that will have the confidence and and en

913
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,319
courage to come down in here in these

914
00:40:07,319 --> 00:40:11,040
areas where we really need um po workers

915
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,560
this is where the fraud is occurring you

916
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:14,839
know those areas that he was pointing

917
00:40:14,839 --> 00:40:17,520
out there are no allegations of any sort

918
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,920
of voter fraud or Shenanigans taking

919
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,000
place there in 2020 at all the only

920
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,640
thing that's known is that black and

921
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,599
brown people vote heavily in those areas

922
00:40:28,599 --> 00:40:30,240
Harris County like the rest of the

923
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,520
United States has seen its percentage of

924
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,760
white residents decrease dramatically 50

925
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,280
years ago white Americans made up more

926
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,119
than 80% of the US population by

927
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:45,720
2044 they will be in the minority the

928
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:48,480
demographic change of the United States

929
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,079
away from being a white majority country

930
00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:53,079
towards a multi-racial nation and a

931
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:55,520
multicultural nation is what moves it

932
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,319
from Simply aha my Community is becoming

933
00:40:58,319 --> 00:41:00,480
multi-racial and our politics will

934
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,160
change because of this to we have to

935
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,200
stop this because if people can vote and

936
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,079
exercise their rights the white majority

937
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:10,720
will be

938
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:14,240
imperiled and everywhere I turn I have

939
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,240
been hearing from my constituents they

940
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:21,040
are deeply worried they know their

941
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,119
history they are witnessing what is

942
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:27,560
happening to our democracy in real time

943
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,040
in the aftermath of the 2020 election

944
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,079
Republican legislator in Georgia and 18

945
00:41:33,079 --> 00:41:35,920
other states passed a slew of laws that

946
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,480
limited access to The Ballot Box but

947
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,240
what is even more disconcerting is that

948
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:43,640
these politicians in the state

949
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,359
legislature have already laid the tracks

950
00:41:46,359 --> 00:41:50,319
to take over local Boards of Elections

951
00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:53,440
control the count we can get to the same

952
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,520
place through bureaucratic violence as

953
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,079
some would say as we can get to through

954
00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:02,560
actual violence and intimidation and

955
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,119
when you marry those two then you are in

956
00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:08,599
a unique era of suppression and

957
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:11,170
anti-democratic

958
00:42:11,170 --> 00:42:14,380

particularly in the

990
00:43:44,820 --> 00:43:50,280

lines in Arizona myself to look at the

1004
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,720
election audit and they need to audit

1005
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:23,480
the whole election they go on at the

1006
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,359
whole

1007
00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:28,720
election Eric G is a highly decorated

1008
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:31,520
former Navy SEAL and a road scholar he

1009
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,040
grew up as a Democrat and after leaving

1010
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,160
the service wrote several best-selling

1011
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,599
books about humanitarianism strength and

1012
00:44:38,599 --> 00:44:41,559

working the mission continues man our

1020
00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:58,040
belief at the mission continues was that

1021

every single veteran who was coming home

1022
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,800
was an asset and that they could all

1023
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,520
live lives of purpose and dignity and

1024
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,319
meaning here at home in 2015 he became

1025
00:45:06,319 --> 00:45:08,880
the Republican governor of Missouri but

1026
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,079
resigned less than two years later in

1027
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:13,359
the wake of a sex and fundraising

1028
00:45:13,359 --> 00:45:16,760
scandal in 2021 he began his campaign

1029
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,640
for the US Senate when I took the oath

1030
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,000
to serve in the United States military I

1031
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,480
took an oath to defend the Constitution

1032
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,240
against all enemies

1033
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,040
foreign and

1034
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,280
domestic and

1035
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,160
domestic and folks let's be clear we

1036
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,599
have a fight on our hands for this

1037
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:46,880
country and we're here to let the

1038
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,559
mainstream media know and let the left

and we're taking back our country

1042
00:45:58,359 --> 00:46:01,240
we are taking back

1043
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:03,760
our this is our country and we are

1044
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,359
taking it

1045
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,240
back there's a Cadre of Iraq and

1046
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:15,720
Afghanistan era veterans who were

1047
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:19,200
trained in Elite military units who went

1048
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,200
to Elite schools he plus we're with you

1049
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,240
all the way who know better and over the

1050
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:27,520
last few years

1051
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,400
have seen Trump's rise to power and

1052
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,920
rather than be disgusted by it because

1053
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,520
it goes against all of our values they

1054
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,280
don't live by those values and you went

1055
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,880
from high school to the Marines yeah the

1056
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,319
good the great thing about the Marine

1057
00:46:41,319 --> 00:46:43,599
Corps is that they really force you to

1058
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:45,280
shape up I I like to describe it as a

1059
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,720
four-year character education because

1060
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:49,680
they teach you not just you know how to

1061
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,200
iron a uniform but they teach you about

1062
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,480
financial management they teach you how

1063
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,480
to make your bed they teach you a lot of

1064
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,440
the skill sets that you need to be a

1065
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,400
successful adult JD Vance is a former

1066
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,160
Marine like Stuart rhods he graduated

1067
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,200
from Yale law school and like Eric gron

1068
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,160
he's a best-selling author who was once

1069
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,559
a darling of the New York Times are

1070
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:12,440
there commonalities between poor whites

1071
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,000
poor blacks poor Latinos absolutely

1072
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,920
there are things that are shared across

1073
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,960
across different groups and I think that

1074
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,680
we should take some inspiration for it

1075
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,960
from it some recognition that that we

1076
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,040
are sort of in this together in 2016 he

1077
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,280
called Donald Trump an idiot I'm a never

1078
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,599
Trump guy I never liked him and

1079
00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:32,319
suggested that he could be an American

1080
00:47:32,319 --> 00:47:34,880
Hitler but four years later he changed

1081
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,160
his tune when he launched his campaign

1082
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,599
for Ohio senate seat I wasn't always

1083
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:41,960
nice but the simple fact is he's the

1084
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,359
best president of my lifetime and he

1085
00:47:44,359 --> 00:47:46,640
revealed the corruption in this country

1086
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,240
like nobody else JD Vance a few years

1087
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,720
ago I think a lot of people across

1088
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:53,599
political Spectrum had a lot of respect

1089
00:47:53,599 --> 00:47:56,119
for him but now we see him pretending to

1090
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:59,839
be an idiot are you a racist do you hate

1091
00:47:59,839 --> 00:48:01,599
Mexicans I think it's ridiculous that

1092
00:48:01,599 --> 00:48:04,319
we're focused on this Border in Ukraine

1093
00:48:04,319 --> 00:48:05,720
uh I don't I got to be honest with you I

1094
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,079
don't really care what happens to

1095
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:08,720
Ukraine one way or another a guy like

1096
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:10,960
Eric gon or a guy like JD Vance they

1097
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,040
didn't internalize any of the morals

1098
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,920
that are supposed to be instilled in US

1099
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,440
during our training things like Valor

1100
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,599
and honor and respect

1101
00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:28,680
striking fear in the hearts of liberals

1102
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,559
everywhere

1103
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:33,920
folks they understand when they're lying

1104
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,680
they understand when they're fueling

1105
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,119
hatred I say it all the time right I

1106
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:40,599
think the election was stolen from Trump

1107
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:42,359
and technology companies would not let

1108
00:48:42,359 --> 00:48:44,280
us talk about the fact that Joe Biden is

1109
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,960
is the leader of the world's biggest

1110
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,559
crime family and they recognize that

1111
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:50,440
they need to do it in order to achieve

1112
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,200
power part of the problem for the young

1113
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,640
veteran too is that some of these

1114
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,079
manipulative voices are former high

1118
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,640
Flynn so when you hear somebody who held

1119
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,359
sway over you when you were in uniform

1120
00:49:08,359 --> 00:49:09,559
and now they're out and they're still

1121
00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:11,520
commanding that respect that that has

1122
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,040
just such a strong purpose Trump

1123
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,430
won he

1124
00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:23,100

Electoral College vote ah you know

1129
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,839
Flynn's Flynn's a character he's

1130
00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:37,880
something special you know it's comes a

1131
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,200
little bit from the camaraderie of of

1132
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:40,680
being a military person I can look at

1133
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,200
Flynn and I can see that he's he's got

1134
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,559
some really really deep love for this

1135
00:49:46,559 --> 00:49:48,920
country and respect for it and he does

1136
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,640
respect his oath I am not a conspiracy

1137
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,400
theorist I I base my life on facts and

1138
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,839
judgment and what I believe is right for

1139
00:49:57,839 --> 00:50:00,839
this country for this country period

1140
00:50:00,839 --> 00:50:03,440
Flynn has been exposing truth left and

1141
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,000
right and that's what makes him one of

1142
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,680
the most dangerous men in

1143
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,000
America Michael Flynn is a retired US

1144
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,839

make it to to ensure that it's

1150
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,160
believable reliable relevant and the

1151
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,680
teams he LED were notoriously effective

1152
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,200
in rooting out insurgencies in Iraq and

1153
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,880
Afghanistan for over a decade in 2012 he

1154
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,079
was nominated by Barack Obama to be the

1155
00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:38,960
director of the defense intelligence

1156
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,200
agency Mike Flynn brings to this

1157
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,799
position Decades of experience in

1158
00:50:43,799 --> 00:50:45,240
Military

1159
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,720
Intelligence his knowledge of the 21st

1160
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:50,599
century Battlefield is

1161
00:50:50,599 --> 00:50:53,040
unsurpassed but 3 years later the

1162
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,720
one-time Democrat had become an avid

1163
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:57,599
supporter of cand date

1164
00:50:57,599 --> 00:51:00,760
Trump lock her up that's

1165
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,240
right yeah that's right lock her up and

1166
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:06,440
would soon become president Trump's

1167
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,599
National Security adviser but just 22

1168
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:12,280
days into his term Trump fired him for

1169
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,880
lying about his interactions with Russia

1170
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,079
the evolving and eroding level of trust

1171
00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:19,280
as a result of this situation is what

1172
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,599
led the president to ask for General

1173
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:22,760
Flynn's

1174
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,280
resignation and general Flynn would soon

1175
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,119
enter a plea deal with the FBI his

1176
00:51:28,119 --> 00:51:30,400
prison sentence was under review when

1177
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,079
Trump pardoned him in December 2020 less

1178
00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:37,160
than a month before leaving

1179
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,440
office Mike Flynn and I served together

1180
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,799
for many years and we very close friends

1181
00:51:42,799 --> 00:51:44,119
I

1182
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:46,440
disagree with him

1183
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,839
politically I am

1184
00:51:49,839 --> 00:51:53,440
disappointed by the nature of the the

1185
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,040
comments that he makes the calls to

1186
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,480
action this is one of our top quality

1187
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,359
guns and maybe I'll find somebody in

1188
00:52:00,359 --> 00:52:01,450
Washington

1189
00:52:01,450 --> 00:52:06,079

Flynn on telegram he's General

1195

Flynn he's using his rank as part of his

1196
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,160
identity and and he has adopted the

1197
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,839
radical fascist politics of Maga and of

1198
00:52:32,839 --> 00:52:36,079
Kon where we go one we go all we go one

against the people of the United States

1202
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:47,119
this country is awake this is soil that

1203
00:52:47,119 --> 00:52:49,160
we have fought over and we will fight

1204
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,880
for in the future he could take military

1205
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,400
capabilities and he could place them in

1206
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,880
those States and basically rerun an

1207
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,720
election in each of those States clearly

1208
00:52:57,720 --> 00:53:00,319
his military experience influences some

1209
00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:02,599
people to give him

1210
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:04,880
legitimacy that he might not otherwise

1211
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,200
have I'm a simple Marine I want to know

1212
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,720
why what happened in minimar can't

1213
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:15,240
happen

1214
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:18,000
here no reason I mean it should happen

1215
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,720
here no reason right that's right

1216
00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:21,520
Flynn's apparent endorsement of a

1217
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,040
military coup is not the only time the

1218
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,520
former military intelligence officer has

1219
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,000
has planted ideas about the illegitimacy

1220
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,839
of the federal government and its

1221
00:53:30,839 --> 00:53:33,319
partners in crime well he doesn't need

1222
00:53:33,319 --> 00:53:36,400
any introduction on this Friday January

1223
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,040
28th broadcast he's General Flynn and of

1224
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,160
course a embattled individual in the

1225
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,240
fight for this Republic all these Global

1226
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:46,960
organizations they see themselves as

1227
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,440
this is how we can control societies

1228
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,760
this is how we can control Humanity so

1229
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,920
let's introduce something called covid

1230
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,559
and they did it and they did it for for

1231
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:57,920
a couple of reasons one of the big

1232
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,960
reasons was was to steal an election

1233
00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:02,640
they have an intent to have a new world

1234
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,359
order they have an intent to track every

1235
00:54:05,359 --> 00:54:07,559
single one of us and they use it under

1236
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:09,240
the skin they use a means by which it's

1237
00:54:09,240 --> 00:54:11,880
under the skin Dr foui would be right in

1238
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,559
right in there in the same room with

1239
00:54:13,559 --> 00:54:16,160
people like Dr Mangal and Dr zel who

1240
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,319
worked for the Nazis at the time of uh

1241
00:54:19,319 --> 00:54:20,880
of of Hitler's all of Hitler's

1242
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,079
experimentation on human beings the

1243
00:54:23,079 --> 00:54:25,640
reality is as you learn the ability to

1244
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,280
lead whether it's military or not you

1245
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,440
learn the ability to get people to do

1246
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,280
stuff and that's just what he's doing we

1247
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,160
are in a crucible moment in the history

1248
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,200
of the United States of America we're

1249
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,319
fighting with faith we're fighting with

1250
00:54:39,319 --> 00:54:41,720
courage and nothing can resist the power

1251
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:44,680
of prayer he perverts this military

1252
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,440
experience this religious experience to

1253
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,720
evoke this kind of feeling of a higher

1254
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:54,240
purpose the oppression that they have

1255
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:57,760

00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,039
boy when I left the military I was a

1286
00:56:25,039 --> 00:56:27,720
hardcore Republican was libertarian like

1287
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:29,160
a lot of people in the

1288
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,599
military I was looking at like I can't

1289
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:33,520
even call them documentaries but these

1290
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,039
YouTube videos like uh this movie

1291
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,440
Zeitgeist you had better wake up and

1292
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,240
understand that there are people who are

1293
00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:45,280
guiding your life and you don't even

1294
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,799
know it now that I study extremism I

1295
00:56:47,799 --> 00:56:51,599
recognize it's filled with anti-semitic

1296
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:54,039
tropes the theme of the movie without

1297
00:56:54,039 --> 00:56:56,039
explicitly saying it is that Jewish

1298
00:56:56,039 --> 00:56:57,520
people people were out there controlling

1299
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:58,960
the banks and the banks are the reasons

1300
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,680
why we go into Wars so therefore the

1301
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,280
Jews are responsible for my friends

1302
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,839
dying right that's the connection that

1303
00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:05,680
it's trying to make the ultimate goal is

1304
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,240
to get everybody in this world chipped

1305
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:10,319
with the with the RFID chip and uh have

1306
00:57:10,319 --> 00:57:11,799
all money be on those chips and

1307
00:57:11,799 --> 00:57:14,160
everything on those chips and if anybody

1308
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,240
wants to protest what we do or violate

1309
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,079
what we want we just turn off that chip

1310
00:57:19,079 --> 00:57:22,839
I just absorbed this propaganda and fell

1311
00:57:22,839 --> 00:57:25,880
for it fell into it I was watching Alex

1312
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,599
Jones before anyone knew what his name

1313
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:29,599
was I mean now they're openly bragging

1314
00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:31,520
it's world government and they run it

1315
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,319
Tucker Carlson was back on MSNBC and

1316
00:57:34,319 --> 00:57:36,680
Glen Beck it's all connected these

1317
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,520
people down here are radicals and all of

1318
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,319
these Concepts started to fit together

1319
00:57:41,319 --> 00:57:44,920
and feed this narrative this this idea

1320
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,720
that I had felt but couldn't put words

1321
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,200
to for so long that I was the victim not

1322
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,160
just of circumstance but of some sort of

1323
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,160
Nefarious group of powerful individuals

1324
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,000
ual who were manipulating all of us and

1325
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,559
and that everyone was just acting as

1326
00:58:01,559 --> 00:58:03,640
puppets you know what people now call

1327
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,880
the Deep state but we were

1328
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,799
awake and it was our job to wake

1329
00:58:10,799 --> 00:58:12,960
everybody else

1330
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,480
up who's the

1331
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,480
Patriot video

1332
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:37,719
[Music]

1333
00:58:39,319 --> 00:58:41,280
ladies and gentlemen prepare for the

1334
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,680
strong

1335
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:50,119
mag yep

1336
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,480
that's there's a lot there they flashed

1337
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,480
photos of the pyramid on our dollar

1338
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,440
bills they showed a picture of George

1339
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,920
Soros they talked about the World Bank

1340
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,960
everything's Incorporated these are all

1341
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,400
things that I didn't understand when I

1342
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,920
was watching my propaganda videos uh

1343
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,000
back in 2007 2008 but man I mean it's

1344
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,400
like they just took notes off of the

1345
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,520
[ __ ] that had me all confused and crazy

1346
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,839
back then and the

1347
00:59:22,079 --> 00:59:24,520
second these groups have always operated

1348
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,160
on a Playbook of using prevailing social

1349
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:32,319
context to mobilize people recruit and

1350
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,680
radicalize the 20s Clan was anti-black

1351
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,000
and anti-jewish but it was also

1352
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,440
anti-mexican near the border anti- labor

1353
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,640
in the Pacific Northwest anti-immigrant

1354
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,039
in the Northeast where there were a lot

1355
00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:48,280
of immigrants what it did was figure out

1356
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,119
what the prevailing social tensions were

1357
00:59:50,119 --> 00:59:53,160
in a given community and use those to

1358
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,400
recruit people for its own purposes

1359
00:59:57,559 --> 00:59:59,520
the prevailing feeling among a host of

1360
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,000
veterans returning from Vietnam was that

1361
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,480
they had been stabbed in the back by an

1362
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,720
ungrateful Society their own feckless

1363
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,400
government and the media Elite well it

1364
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,599
seems now more certain than ever that

1365
01:00:13,599 --> 01:00:16,119
the bloody experience of Vietnam is to

1366
01:00:16,119 --> 01:00:18,480
end in a stalemate it made them ripe

1367
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,200
recruits for a new conspiracy fueled

1368
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,079
wave of violent extremism aimed at

1369
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:26,799
rooting out the Enemy Within the Cubans

1370
01:00:26,799 --> 01:00:28,920
are coming in by the thousands the

1371
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,480
Mexicans are coming in by the millions

1372
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,480
the the Haans are coming in from haia or

1373
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,400
wherever the that little [ __ ] country

1374
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,319
is coming in by the hundreds of

1375
01:00:38,319 --> 01:00:40,319
thousands white people have had enough

1376
01:00:40,319 --> 01:00:42,119
they can no longer even afford to buy

1377
01:00:42,119 --> 01:00:45,119
proper housing for themselves yet our

1378
01:00:45,119 --> 01:00:46,920
government would have us spend thousands

1379
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,319
and thousands of millions of dollars on

1380
01:00:49,319 --> 01:00:51,720
non whites they've had enough one of the

1381
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,599
key figures in the white power movement

1382
01:00:53,599 --> 01:00:55,280
after the Vietnam War and one of the

1383
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,680
architects of its move to sell style

1384
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,760
terrorism to using the earling internet

1385
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,880
and to a number of other major changes

1386
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,640
that fueled its rise is a veteran named

1387
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,960
LS beam the only thing that's it

1388
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,640
imported tonight is Will America be

1389
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,319
white 100 years from tonight and if so

1390
01:01:13,319 --> 01:01:15,480
will you commit yourself to the battle

1391
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,720
to make it so Lewis beam served two

1392
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,160
tours in Vietnam as a helicopter Gunner

1393
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,880
and came home in 1968 with multiple

1394
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,640
medals for bravery in combat says that I

1395
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,920
use great professional skill and courage

1396
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,680
in the face of great personal danger

1397
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,480
that hasn't changed at all in my opinion

1398
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,880
presently I'm having to use utmost skill

1399
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,039
and I think it does take courage to to

1400
01:01:41,039 --> 01:01:43,400
do what I'm doing and I'm doing it in

1401
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,960
the face of the enemy that's time the

1402
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,559
enemy goes under a different name beam

1403
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:51,960
took the skills he honed in the military

1404
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,480
and brought them to the KKK where he

1405
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,920
rose to Grand Dragon of the Texas

1406
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,559
Knights I had been paid by the

1407
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:01,520
government $300 a month to fight and

1408
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,880
kill companies to execute them whatever

1409
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,400
term you want to

1410
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,960
use uh in Vietnam and what is the

1411
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,440
difference between Vietnam and Houston

1412
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,690
Texas but a few thousand

1413
01:02:13,690 --> 01:02:17,279
[Applause]

1414
01:02:17,279 --> 01:02:20,480
miles one of the reasons that beam Rose

1415
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,880
so quickly in these organizations is

1416
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,799
that he told a story about Warfare and

1417
01:02:24,799 --> 01:02:26,960
Trauma that a lot of their people were

1418
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,160
mobilized by including people who didn't

1419
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:34,240
serve I saw a young man about 19 years

1420
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,920
old ENT traed in a armored personnel

1421
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,000
carrier

1422
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,960
in about 22 Mi Northeast of s

1423
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,640
gun with his legs pinned beneath the

1424
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,200
seat as a result of a a rocket propell

1425
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,839
grenade and he stayed on the

1426
01:02:52,839 --> 01:02:57,760
radio kep asking for help

1427
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,240
asking us

1428
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,760
to come get

1429
01:03:04,039 --> 01:03:06,920
him so his argument was about the

1430
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,640
wrongness of war the horror of seeing

1431
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,359
casualties in the field the horror of

1432
01:03:11,359 --> 01:03:13,839
losing your fellow soldiers but his

1433
01:03:13,839 --> 01:03:17,160
pivot was this is why we should come

1434
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,200
back to the United States and bring that

1435
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,880
violence home to everybody who left us

1436
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,279
there our mission is a reconnaissance

1437
01:03:24,279 --> 01:03:28,640
Patrol we have information that the

1438
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,720
enemy is in the

1439
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,000
area the Jews have assumed leadership of

1440
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,640
the federal government they totally

1441
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,359
control it and they're controlling us

1442
01:03:40,359 --> 01:03:42,640
thly the government that's in Washington

1443
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,880
DC today does not represent the interest

1444
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,079
of the white people therefore we will

1445
01:03:47,079 --> 01:03:49,119
replace them with people who will

1446
01:03:49,119 --> 01:03:51,720
represent the ideals of white Wester

1447
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,160
Christian

1448
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,359
civilization how are we going to replace

1449
01:03:55,359 --> 01:03:58,200
them by any means necessary we want the

1450
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,200
heads of the enemies in our toe sacks in

1451
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:02,839
Vietnam they took ears we're going to

1452
01:04:02,839 --> 01:04:04,160
take

1453
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,920
heads beam's rhetoric and Military

1454
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,440
exercises eventually got the attention

1455
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,640
of the FBI and in 1983 he left Texas for

1456
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,319
Hayden Lake Idaho a Haven for white

1457
01:04:17,319 --> 01:04:19,760
supremacists he joined forces with Aryan

1458
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,559
Nations and began to command a cell

1459
01:04:22,559 --> 01:04:25,000
style terrorist movement of white power

1460
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,720
activists the idea was that one or a few

1461
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,400
white power activists could work

1462
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,720
together towards a commonly held set of

1463
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:33,760
goals and targets but without

1464
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,559
prosecutable ties between them and

1465
01:04:35,559 --> 01:04:38,160
without direct ties to movement

1466
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,039
leadership but there was a problem the

1467
01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:42,880
cells which were spread across the

1468
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,400
country and into Canada still needed to

1469
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,760
communicate with each other and even

1470
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,000
when the FBI wasn't listening on their

1471
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,520
phones beam wanted to do more than talk

1472
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,920
he wanted to share ideas and create

1473
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,160
networks so they created a social

1474
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,640
network called Liberty net and one of

1475
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,480
the first postings was titled online for

1476
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:06,610
God and

1477
01:05:06,610 --> 01:05:09,240
[Music]

1478
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,200
Country and then Louis beam traveled

1479
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,680
around the country teaching people how

1480
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,279
to go online these message boards

1481
01:05:17,279 --> 01:05:19,559
included assassination lists and

1482
01:05:19,559 --> 01:05:22,200
ideological content and who you should

1483
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,319
hate and why but they also included

1484
01:05:24,319 --> 01:05:27,760
social network content like personal

1485
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:32,200
ads and this was in 1984 885 way before

1486
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,400
most people think about farri online

1487
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,319
activism decades before Facebook can't

1488
01:05:37,319 --> 01:05:40,319
beat the with this day using this early

1489
01:05:40,319 --> 01:05:43,920
form of the internet clansmen skinheads

1490
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,680
neo-nazis and other extremist groups

1491
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:48,720
banded together to commit a series of

1492
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,680
heinous robberies bombings and murders

1493
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,640
across the country and since we're all

1494
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,880
racists since we're all the radical

1495
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,440
right and that's a crime in America when

1496
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,359
you have to do the time don't regret the

1497
01:06:01,359 --> 01:06:03,599
crime we'll be at the Forefront of the

1498
01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:06,599
fight doing what uh hopefully uh

1499
01:06:06,599 --> 01:06:09,520
smashing the uh skulls of Communists or

1500
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,119
uh executing race Traders or uh shooting

1501
01:06:12,119 --> 01:06:14,760
on site anybody we don't think is white

1502
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,440
we have to get our government back

1503
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:17,880
that's what it's all about all these

1504
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,279
so-called subversive groups are nothing

1505
01:06:20,279 --> 01:06:23,000
but patriotic citizens trying to do just

1506
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,200
that by 1985 the department of Justice

1507
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,319
came to believe that the network of

1508
01:06:28,319 --> 01:06:31,039
white power cells Behind These crimes

1509
01:06:31,039 --> 01:06:33,760
represented a serious threat to National

1510
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,520
Security Lewis beam has been charged

1511
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,760
with seditious conspiracy along with 13

1512
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:40,720
other

1513
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,000
individuals Mr Bean did you plan to

1514
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,520
overthrow the government what else is a

1515
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,440
country boy going to do on Saturday

1516
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,240
night when the only drug store in Town's

1517
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,279
closed but the trial was a disaster for

1518
01:06:53,279 --> 01:06:55,640
the government a stunning verdict is

1519
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,640
afternoon in the trial of 13 white

1520
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,279
supremacists among charges they faced

1521
01:07:00,279 --> 01:07:02,079
conspiracy to overthrow the government

1522
01:07:02,079 --> 01:07:04,000
of the United States the verdicts from

1523
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,880
the all-white jury came on the fourth

1524
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,240
day of deliberations beam and his

1525
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,400
codefendants were acquitted on all

1526
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,039
charges the humiliating outcome led the

1527
01:07:13,039 --> 01:07:15,559
doj to focus their attention on

1528
01:07:15,559 --> 01:07:18,079
individual criminals and abandon

1529
01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:19,839
investigations of the white power

1530
01:07:19,839 --> 01:07:23,039
movement as a domestic terrorist threat

1531
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:25,079
the catastrophic Legacy of leaderless

1532
01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:26,200
resistance

1533
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,000
has been that we as a public have lost

1534
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,400
sight of this Movement we don't have any

1535
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,359
domestic terrorism legislation we don't

1536
01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:36,000
have domestic terrorism laws for example

1537
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,000
the number one tool um FBI agents and

1538
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,839
prosecutors use to disrupt terrorist

1539
01:07:41,839 --> 01:07:46,000
attacks in the United States is material

1540
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,079
support material support is basically a

1541
01:07:50,079 --> 01:07:52,960
charge to levy on individuals who are

1542
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,480
helping a terrorist organization or a

1543
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,000
ENT organization unfortunately we don't

1544
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,640
have that when it comes to domestic

1545
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,079
terrorist

1546
01:08:02,319 --> 01:08:04,440
organizations the problem with this

1547
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,960
situation is when you don't have

1548
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,319
domestic terrorism laws you need an act

1549
01:08:09,319 --> 01:08:12,160
to happen you need a hot body in order

1550
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,599
to start an investigation and usually

1551
01:08:14,599 --> 01:08:16,839
you can charge that individual with hate

1552
01:08:16,839 --> 01:08:19,040
a crime or with other charges but you

1553
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,799
cannot charge them with terrorism you

1554
01:08:20,799 --> 01:08:24,439
cannot go after the whole network holy

1555
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,679
cow about a third of the building has

1556
01:08:26,679 --> 01:08:30,839
been blown away is just

1557
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:34,839
devastating get back get back a massive

1558
01:08:34,839 --> 01:08:36,759
Car Bomb exploded outside of a large

1559
01:08:36,759 --> 01:08:38,679
Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma

1560
01:08:38,679 --> 01:08:41,080
City shattering that building Killing

1561
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,399
Children Killing federal employees

1562
01:08:43,399 --> 01:08:46,640
military men and civilians even Timothy

1563
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,799
McVey he blew up a whole Federal

1564
01:08:49,799 --> 01:08:52,479
Building and prosecutors could not

1565
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:57,920
charge him or his associates with

1566
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,399
terrorism the bombing of Oklahoma City

1567
01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:03,399
in 1995 was the largest deliberate mass

1568
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:05,679
casualty event on American soil between

1569
01:09:05,679 --> 01:09:08,880
Pearl Harbor and 911 but most people

1570
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:10,799
still don't understand what that event

1571
01:09:10,799 --> 01:09:13,080
was and what it meant the indictment

1572
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,000
charges that Timothy McVey and Terry

1573
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,880
Nichols former Army buddies with a

1574
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,560
grudge against the government planned

1575
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,000
the bombing selected McVey and Nichols

1576
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,880
met each other through their service

1577
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,439
they trained together at Fort Riley

1578
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,799
Kansas before McVey deployed to the gulf

1579
01:09:27,799 --> 01:09:29,960
as part of Big Red One infantry unit in

1580
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,799
Iraq there he seems to have experienced

1581
01:09:32,799 --> 01:09:35,120
some amount of traumatic combat before

1582
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,198
their return

1583
01:09:37,198 --> 01:09:39,600
home after washing out his special

1584
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,120
forces he was really angry and we see at

1585
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,520
that moment his deepening involvement in

1586
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,180
radical white power

1587
01:09:47,180 --> 01:09:49,238
[Music]

1588
01:09:49,238 --> 01:09:52,439
activity ranging from mcvey's connection

1589
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,840
to the Michigan militia the federal

1590
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,840
government itself is the child of the

1591
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,159
armed citizen we the people are the

1592
01:09:59,159 --> 01:10:01,280
parent of the child we call government

1593
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:02,800
in short the federal government needs a

1594
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,880
good spanking to make it behave his

1595
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,640
contact and attempted contact with

1596
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,480
groups like the Arizona Patriots and the

1597
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:11,600
National Alliance and his written belief

1598
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,400
in white power principles that were

1599
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,040
published in his hometown newspaper

1600
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,960
McVey used his military training to help

1601
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,400
carry out the Oklahoma City bombing and

1602
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,040
in a letter to a friend he invoked his

1603
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,840
military oath to to justify it I have

1604
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,040
sworn to uphold and defend the

1605
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,040
Constitution against all enemies foreign

1606
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,040
and domestic and I will blood will flow

1607
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,520
in the streets good versus evil free men

1608
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,600
versus socialist wannabe slaves pray

1609
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,280
it's not your blood my friend the other

1610
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,800
key component here was his use of the

1611
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,560
Turner Diaries at gun shows Timothy

1612
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,400
McVey would hand out copies of the

1613
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,080
Turner Diaries a dystopian novel that

1614
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,679
details how to top the US government the

1615
01:10:56,679 --> 01:10:58,760
fictional revolutionaries start by

1616
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,080
blowing up a federal building and then

1617
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,280
proceed to exterminate their political

1618
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,679
enemies including all Jews blacks and

1619
01:11:06,679 --> 01:11:09,120
Latinos the Turner Diaries became

1620
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:10,960
enormously important to this movement

1621
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,040
not because it's a good book but because

1622
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,440
it provides the imaginative answer to a

1623
01:11:15,440 --> 01:11:17,679
really important question which is how

1624
01:11:17,679 --> 01:11:20,719
can a tiny group of people a small

1625
01:11:20,719 --> 01:11:22,800
Fringe movement do what they're setting

1626
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,640
out to do in this period which is to

1627
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,280
overthrow the most militarized

1628
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,960
superstate in world history in 1997

1629
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,400
McVey was convicted of murdering 168

1630
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,600
people using a weapon of mass

1631
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,840
destruction and blowing up a federal

1632
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,719
building no domestic terrorism charges

1633
01:11:40,719 --> 01:11:42,800
were brought however because he and

1634
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,679
Nicholls were thought to have acted

1635
01:11:44,679 --> 01:11:48,239
alone just imagine if Timothy mcvey's

1636
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:50,719
name was Muhammad we will look at that

1637
01:11:50,719 --> 01:11:53,360
terrorism threat in a very different

1638
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,000
length first of all we will look at it

1639
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,360
as a terrorist threat we will go after

1640
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,040
McVey we will go after all the people

1641
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:02,880
who are helping him or who are assisting

1642
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:06,080
him we will keep the investigation going

1643
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,719
in order to get the whole network and

1644
01:12:08,719 --> 01:12:11,760
when you are very limited with the tools

1645
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,120
uh you are using these groups will take

1646
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:15,719
benefits from it these are not lone

1647
01:12:15,719 --> 01:12:17,400
wolves these are people who are united

1648
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,639
by ideology by social ties by selection

1649
01:12:20,639 --> 01:12:22,560
of targets these are all part of the

1650
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,199
same movement and this is really what

1651
01:12:24,199 --> 01:12:26,280
we're seeing continuing into our present

1652
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,480
day

1653
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,000
moment tonight the plot to kidnap a

1654
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,240
governor foiled by the

1655
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:36,760
[Music]

1656
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:40,360
FBI in October 2020 less than a month

1657
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,199
before the presidential election 14 men

1658
01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:45,360
were arrested in a plot to kidnap

1659
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,040
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer their

1660
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,120
plans included storming the state

1661
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,480
capital using zip ties to take hostages

1662
01:12:53,480 --> 01:12:55,639
and conducting a trial that would result

1663
01:12:55,639 --> 01:12:58,320
in a public hanging of the governor the

1664
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,040
suspects were all members of The

1665
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,800
Wolverine Watchman a paramilitary group

1666
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,360
commanded by a former Marine that had

1667
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,280
ties to the Michigan militia prosecutors

1668
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,719
contend that they wanted to kidnap her

1669
01:13:10,719 --> 01:13:13,120
to try to ignite another American Civil

1670
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,560
War before the 2020 election in hopes of

1671
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,360
disrupting it and perhaps keeping Joe

1672
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,960
Biden from becoming president but

1673
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,400
Federal prosecutors could not charge any

1674
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,400
of the conspirators with material

1675
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,120
support and despite having amount

1676
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:26,880
mountain of evidence laid out against

1677
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,800
them at trial the group's leader Adam

1678
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,560
Fox telling the informant he was

1679
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,280
inspired by Oklahoma City Bombing

1680
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,520
terrorist Timothy McVey telling the

1681
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,960
informant if we can't have our world

1682
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,679
they can't have theirs Burning It Down

1683
01:13:39,679 --> 01:13:42,080
Like Lewis beam before them if we can't

1684
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,040
have this country nobody gets it that

1685
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,600
clear we'll be total ashes everywhere

1686
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,120
none of the defendants were convicted on

1687
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,440
federal charges the goals of this

1688
01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:54,560
Insurgency in Michigan were to take over

1689
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,760
the state house and then to kidnap and

1690
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:58,600
execute the governor the goal of the

1691
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,520
Insurgency on January 6 was to overturn

1692
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,800
the results of a democratic election so

1693
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,960
if we see this as part of a movement

1694
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,840
it's to stop the American people being

1695
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,400
able to choose their own leaders an

1696
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,760
Insurgency is all about seizing control

1697
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,560
of a government not through winning an

1698
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,080
election not through Democratic

1699
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:17,639
processes not through persuasion but

1700
01:14:17,639 --> 01:14:20,480
through violence it's an it's a form of

1701
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:25,520
War USA USA USA

1702
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:26,920
coward

1703
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,199
tra if you look at January 6th what

1704
01:14:30,199 --> 01:14:32,960
we're looking at is really the Collision

1705
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,600
of three different streams of Activity

1706
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,199
one is the organized white power

1707
01:14:37,199 --> 01:14:39,840
movement that is coming off of decades

1708
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:41,840
if not generations of organizing

1709
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,080
Armament training and ideological

1710
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:45,560
content they want to know what the

1711
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,159
orange has stand for [ __ ] proud boy

1712
01:14:48,159 --> 01:14:50,679
another is kinon which is newer more

1713
01:14:50,679 --> 01:14:53,239
radical works very fast where we go one

1714
01:14:53,239 --> 01:14:55,600
we go all and the final one the biggest

1715
01:14:55,600 --> 01:15:02,840
one is simply the Trump Bas TR Trum Trum

1716
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,360
Trum it's clear to me that what you had

1717
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,600
was a concerted effort by a number of

1718
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,920
different organizers do you want your

1719
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:14,120
house back take it to take these various

1720
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,920
groups together and focus their energies

1721
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:21,480
into create a critical mass and that's

1722
01:15:21,480 --> 01:15:25,480
not new

1723
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:41,639
in Iraq when al-Qaeda in Iraq emerged it

1724
01:15:41,639 --> 01:15:43,840
really came led by a guy named Abu

1725
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,320
musaba zwi he traveled around the

1726
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,760
country had a Charisma to him and he

1727
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,480
portrayed this hey I'm not your normal

1728
01:15:53,480 --> 01:15:56,400
political leader we are going to show

1729
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,080
the kind of commitment that real men

1730
01:15:59,080 --> 01:15:59,880
would

1731
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:03,400
do and al-Qaeda in Iraq which was very

1732
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,560
extreme ideologically started to be

1733
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,360
joined by people who weren't natural

1734
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,960
bedfellows people go finally someone

1735
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:13,000
who's not going to put up with the crap

1736
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,679
someone who's going to take the law into

1737
01:16:15,679 --> 01:16:18,440
their own hands and going to get us what

1738
01:16:18,440 --> 01:16:21,199
we deserve because we have been

1739
01:16:21,199 --> 01:16:25,800
exploited by the elites of the region

1740
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,800
I think Abu masab Bazar kawi and Donald

1741
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,120
Trump both understand that you can

1742
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,960
inflame those passions it is where the

1743
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,600
leader takes those frustrations that

1744
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,360
becomes potentially disastrous grievance

1745
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:44,280
narratives are made up they're

1746
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,560
constructed narratives but they are used

1747
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,600
by demagogues because they work and if

1748
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,600
you have a political party that is

1749
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,560
organized around grievance around a

1750
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,120
sense of loss and a sense of threat you

1751
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,000
have the basis for the ideology that

1752
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,040
will promote violence we gathered

1753
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:01,840
together at the heart of our nation's

1754
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,320
capital for one very very basic and

1755
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:09,560
simple reason to save our democracy

1756
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:13,560
we're going to walk down to the

1757
01:17:14,159 --> 01:17:17,520
capital and we're going to cheer on our

1758
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,800
brave senators and congressmen and women

1759
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,080
and we're probably not going to be

1760
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:27,040
cheering so much for some of

1761
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,520
them because you'll never take back our

1762
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,960
country with weakness you have to show

1763
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:34,930
strength and you have to be

1764
01:17:34,930 --> 01:17:37,679
[Applause]

1765
01:17:37,679 --> 01:17:41,960
strong DC is a [ __ ] war

1766
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,400
zone this what

1767
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,320
we the siege of the capital on January

1768
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,520
6th did not overturn the results of the

1769
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,880
2020 election but that's not the only

1770
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,280
measure by which the actions of that day

1771
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,840
are being judged there's footage of

1772
01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,679
proud boys directing journalists to read

1773
01:17:59,679 --> 01:18:01,080
the Turner

1774
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,679
Diaries Read The Turner

1775
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,080
Diaries on January 6th the Turner

1776
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,280
Diaries was structuring a lot of sort of

1777
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,239
the imaginative performative action of

1778
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:16,159
that day the news hung outside the

1779
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:18,440
capital refers to events in the Turner

1780
01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:20,199
Diaries called The Day of the Rope which

1781
01:18:20,199 --> 01:18:23,080
is the hanging of race Traders which

1782
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,520
include politicians

1783
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,440
[Applause]

1784
01:18:27,440 --> 01:18:29,520
[Music]

1785
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,480
my and significantly there is a strike

1786
01:18:32,480 --> 01:18:34,880
on the capital that is not supposed to

1787
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:36,960
be a mass casualty attack in the Turner

1788
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,840
Diaries it's a mortar attack it's meant

1789
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,480
to be simply the selected killing of a

1790
01:18:41,480 --> 01:18:44,159
few corrupt legislators in order to show

1791
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:47,159
other white people that extremists can

1792
01:18:47,159 --> 01:18:49,719
strike at the heart of American power

1793
01:18:49,719 --> 01:18:51,159
yeah

1794
01:18:51,159 --> 01:18:55,239
yeah yeah we did it we did it [ __ ]

1795
01:18:55,239 --> 01:18:58,239
did it yo take laptops paperwork take

1796
01:18:58,239 --> 01:19:01,800
everything all that [ __ ] my friend my

1797
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,560
friend sitting

1798
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,880
in and by that measure I think that they

1799
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,679
succeeded Donald Trump tweeted out a

1800
01:19:09,679 --> 01:19:14,080
video he said we did a good [ __ ]

1801
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:17,080
job January 6 was a huge success for

1802
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:21,159
them January 6 inspired so many people

1803
01:19:21,159 --> 01:19:24,239
not only here in the United States but

1804
01:19:24,239 --> 01:19:26,960
even in Europe that violence is a way to

1805
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:30,199
change the government is a way to change

1806
01:19:30,199 --> 01:19:31,679
that

1807
01:19:31,679 --> 01:19:34,960
establishments in the western world that

1808
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,800
they consider corrupt they considered

1809
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,480
evil uh they considered that these

1810
01:19:40,480 --> 01:19:42,520
governments are nothing but tools to the

1811
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:44,960
Jews or to whatever conspiracy they

1812
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,239
believe

1813
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,520
in you believe the rich people in the

1814
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,719
world are using this disease and it's

1815
01:19:54,719 --> 01:19:56,960
exaggerating it to create some sort of

1816
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,520
apocalyptic nightmare right you think

1817
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,320
it's common sense that we all have to

1818
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,020
stay inside and be afraid of the

1819
01:20:04,020 --> 01:20:07,199
[Applause]

1820
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,320
air you look at January 6th I think the

1821
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:13,719
people that were there that participate

1822
01:20:13,719 --> 01:20:16,239
in it number one they wanted it to serve

1823
01:20:16,239 --> 01:20:18,920
as a wakeup call to those people who are

1824
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,560
Empower and the fact of the matter is

1825
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,400
every single person that was there that

1826
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,520
day is a patriot of this nation y Randy

1827
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,080
maybe you want to put the beers inside

1828
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,480
the the the the bridge maybe you want to

1829
01:20:31,480 --> 01:20:34,639
get off being a patriot being a person

1830
01:20:34,639 --> 01:20:36,800
that loves their country especially you

1831
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:38,600
know being a military veteran you take

1832
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,760
an oath to the Constitution and for a

1833
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,280
lot of those people that were there that

1834
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,639
day they felt that their constitution

1835
01:20:45,639 --> 01:20:48,360
was being shredded up our democracy was

1836
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,600
being shredded right in front of our

1837
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:52,239
eyes I think it's absolutely

1838
01:20:52,239 --> 01:20:53,840
heartbreaking to see veterans involved

1839
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:55,639
in these things and I know for a lot of

1840
01:20:55,639 --> 01:20:57,520
them that their hearts are in in some

1841
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,320
ways in the right place we just don't

1842
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,600
live in the same world of truth

1843
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,239
[Music]

1844
01:21:08,239 --> 01:21:10,600
anymore the people in DC they were

1845
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,840
Americans yeah and they were patriots

1846
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,800
they only broke laws because the DC

1847
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:16,800
police didn't do their

1848
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:20,639
job okay okay that's it people died

1849
01:21:20,639 --> 01:21:22,239
because they didn't do their

1850
01:21:22,239 --> 01:21:25,000
job so they broke into the Capital

1851
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,760
because DC police didn't do their job

1852
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,360
the DC police they didn't break into

1853
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,120
anything they let them in not only did

1854
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,320
they let them in it's paid for by tax

1855
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,520
dollars it's their [ __ ]

1856
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:41,840
property easy sorry this is the lethal

1857
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,840
danger of the big election lie right

1858
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:46,560
it's this is a conspiracy theory that

1859
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,560
says the very heart of American

1860
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:49,840
political life the very heart of our

1861
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:51,320
democracy has been destroyed and taken

1862
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,159
from us which leaves us what recourse do

1863
01:21:54,159 --> 01:21:55,480
I believe the election was stolen

1864
01:21:55,480 --> 01:21:57,280
absolutely without a doubt there's no

1865
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,239
way in hell Joe Biden was elected 81

1866
01:22:00,239 --> 01:22:02,159
million votes for Joe Biden I don't

1867
01:22:02,159 --> 01:22:04,560
think so we're in a situation right now

1868
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,600
where you know we can't trust our

1869
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,280
elections anymore we know that so what

1870
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,159
really is scary is is that what will the

1871
01:22:12,159 --> 01:22:14,400
people do what will the average American

1872
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,320
do when they finally wake up to the

1873
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,560
reality of all this and the answer to

1874
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,080
that is we don't know we have no idea

1875
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,920
what the American people will do this no

1876
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,639
longer is a constitutional republic and

1877
01:22:27,639 --> 01:22:29,600
we are going to fight to bring our

1878
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,159
constitutional republic back again we've

1879
01:22:33,159 --> 01:22:35,159
had violent domestic extremist

1880
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:37,360
organizations for a long time but I

1881
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:38,760
think what makes this moment

1882
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,080
particularly dangerous there are a

1883
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,120
couple of things the first one is the

1884
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,800
fact that it's able to ride on a wave of

1885
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,280
conspiracy thinking and general

1886
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,280
distrust that's happening because of

1887
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:51,840
social media Technologies it's happening

1888
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,199
because of the way we we've structured

1889
01:22:53,199 --> 01:22:55,199
our society on the internet that gives

1890
01:22:55,199 --> 01:22:57,880
them the sheer numbers of people that

1891
01:22:57,880 --> 01:22:59,760
they could never dream of of bringing to

1892
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:01,440
bear on their own everybody's got to put

1893
01:23:01,440 --> 01:23:02,719
their shoulder to the wheel we need

1894
01:23:02,719 --> 01:23:05,199
participation 24/7 we need you to be a

1895
01:23:05,199 --> 01:23:07,600
force multiplier as a soldier and as a

1896
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,679
as a uh as a general as a retired

1897
01:23:09,679 --> 01:23:12,719
General we have an army of digital

1898
01:23:12,719 --> 01:23:14,840
soldiers if you can do command and

1899
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:16,920
control over social media and you're

1900
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:18,920
fighting against evil and you're on the

1901
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:20,880
side of God and you're on the side of

1902
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:22,639
the United States in your oath it's a

1903
01:23:22,639 --> 01:23:25,400
very attractive proposition

1904
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:26,960
the sad part is is you're using all

1905
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:28,440
those skills and that goodness and that

1906
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:30,480
purity of heart that you think is

1907
01:23:30,480 --> 01:23:34,280
actually absolute unadulterated

1908
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:36,719
[ __ ] the second major difference is

1909
01:23:36,719 --> 01:23:39,080
you have political cover from the very

1910
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,800
top the only way we're going to lose

1911
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,360
this election is if the election is

1912
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,920
rigged remember that January 6 was the

1913
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,840
culmination of two months of a

1914
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:50,520
propagation of a big lie and of

1915
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,080
conspiracy theories by the president of

1916
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,920
the United States 20 thirds of House

1917
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,040
Republicans go along with Trump and vote

1918
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,320
to overturn the electors on the evening

1919
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,159
of January 6th we a United States

1920
01:24:02,159 --> 01:24:03,880
Senator and members of the House of

1921
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,000
Representatives object to the counting

1922
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:07,800
of the electoral votes of the state of

1923
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,000
Pennsylvania Madam speaker I Rise to

1924
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,719
support the objection Madam speaker I

1925
01:24:11,719 --> 01:24:13,360
Rise to support the objection Madam

1926
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,679
speaker I Rise to support the objection

1927
01:24:15,679 --> 01:24:18,040
Madam chair I vigorously support this

1928
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,520
objection and I in a vote that has

1929
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,760
always been thought to be ceremonial and

1930
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:25,840
minister IAL where you accept the

1931
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:27,600
Electoral College results which were in

1932
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:29,600
no serious way contested I mean that's

1933
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,920
almost as astounding as what happened in

1934
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,159
terms of the Insurrection how can so

1935
01:24:34,159 --> 01:24:37,320
many people believe that it was unfair

1936
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:38,760
it was because their president said it

1937
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,760
was unfair their Senator said it was

1938
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:42,960
unfair their member of Congress said it

1939
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,520
was unfair a full audit is absolutely

1940
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,719
necessary we should get injunctions if

1941
01:24:47,719 --> 01:24:50,080
necessary and normally those are people

1942
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,119
that the electric can have faith in I

1943
01:24:52,119 --> 01:24:54,960
Rise for myself and 60 of my colleag to

1944
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,840
object to the counting of the Electoral

1945
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,760
ballots from Arizona is the objection in

1946
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,719
writing and signed by a

1947
01:25:02,719 --> 01:25:07,119
senator yes it is it

1948
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:11,719
is but it is not just the big lie that

1949
01:25:11,719 --> 01:25:13,639
appears to have captured much of the

1950
01:25:13,639 --> 01:25:16,520
Republican Party Congressman Denver rlan

1951
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,080
lost his party's nomination over the

1952
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,080
weekend the first term Congressman was

1953
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,520
ousted by former Liberty University

1954
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,159
employee Bob good

1955
01:25:25,159 --> 01:25:26,679
getting run out of the Republican party

1956
01:25:26,679 --> 01:25:28,320
was really interesting I believe I was

1957
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,760
the first one that was affected by Q

1958
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,280
conspiracy theories when I didn't even

1959
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:33,000
know

1960
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,000
it I had conducted a same-sex wedding in

1961
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,440
summer of 2019 two guys who had worked

1962
01:25:38,440 --> 01:25:41,040
for me or volunteered and then I started

1963
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,520
hearing these weird things I'm funded by

1964
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,440
George Soros I'm a secret Jew I'm a

1965
01:25:45,440 --> 01:25:47,639
secret Dem I'm trying to change the

1966
01:25:47,639 --> 01:25:49,280
sexual orientation of children I'm a

1967
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:50,920
tool of the Antichrist and I'm hearing

1968
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,320
all this I'm like this is sounds like

1969
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,520
New World Order crazy stuff you know the

1970
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,239
anti-semitic

1971
01:25:56,239 --> 01:25:59,159
tropes you had better wake up and

1972
01:25:59,159 --> 01:26:01,600
understand that there are people then I

1973
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,000
started doing my own research and I'm

1974
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,119
pretty good at it and uh I saw some of

1975
01:26:05,119 --> 01:26:07,080
the same patterns that you saw with

1976
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,080
foreign terrorists you know and when you

1977
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:12,440
chased Isis or alada or IED resupply

1978
01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:14,920
from Iraq into Iran you know i' I've

1979
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,119
seen some things and uh what I saw was

1980
01:26:17,119 --> 01:26:19,920
that people were using language uh in

1981
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,800
the open that I I thought we would never

1982
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:23,800
see As Americans my two decades of

1983
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:25,000
intelligence War fighting and

1984
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,639
counterterrorism experience coupled with

1985
01:26:26,639 --> 01:26:30,040
serving in the 116th Congress is why I

1986
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:31,960
will not allow conspiracy peders to

1987
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,360
hijack our ability to conduct reasonable

1988
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,320
policy discussions for the betterment of

1989
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,320
all Americans I was pretty much drummed

1990
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,280
out and censured for following the law

1991
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,480
and trying to save this country and uh

1992
01:26:43,480 --> 01:26:47,040
I'm not I don't think I'm overstating

1993
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,719
that if one of our two parties is

1994
01:26:50,719 --> 01:26:53,960
committed to an orwellian whitewashing

1995
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:55,719
of hist history if you didn't know the

1996
01:26:55,719 --> 01:26:57,920
TV footage was a video from January the

1997
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,920
6th you would actually think it was a

1998
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:02,320
normal tourist visit is committed to

1999
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,159
propagating or at least not quarreling

2000
01:27:04,159 --> 01:27:07,480
with a big lie uh the big lie the big

2001
01:27:07,480 --> 01:27:10,159
lie is a lot of [ __ ] that's what it

2002
01:27:10,159 --> 01:27:13,560
is is committed to not quarreling much

2003
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,760
with conspiracy theories is committed to

2004
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:17,880
purging those Republicans at the state

2005
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,480
and local level and at the national

2006
01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:21,800
level who want to fight back against the

2007
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,840
lies and the conspiracy theories that's

2008
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,040
a big

2009
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,560
deal war is literally the continuation

2010
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,199
of politics by other violent means our

2011
01:27:31,199 --> 01:27:33,000
military forces are the part of our

2012
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:36,000
society that carries out that peace then

2013
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,199
we come home and the question is do we

2014
01:27:38,199 --> 01:27:40,520
have a political system that functions

2015
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,560
or are we at a point where our own

2016
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:44,880
politics the politics inside our own

2017
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:46,360
communities the politics inside our own

2018
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,360
country can only be continued through

2019
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:50,600
other means and we got to be very

2020
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,159
careful because if you think you have

2021
01:27:52,159 --> 01:27:53,600
support from the highest levels of

2022
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:54,960
government

2023
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,320
why aren't you fighting for your country

2024
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:57,880
aren't you already sort of sworn in to

2025
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,119
do this the issue is is that the people

2026
01:28:00,119 --> 01:28:02,440
that we are identifying as extremists

2027
01:28:02,440 --> 01:28:04,360
they're identifying as Patriots or

2028
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,600
Freedom Fighters and that is it almost

2029
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,440
sounds like I'm talking about terrorism

2030
01:28:08,440 --> 01:28:10,600
right

2031
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,800
now one of the organizations that I'm

2032
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,440
particularly interested in uh as the

2033
01:28:19,440 --> 01:28:24,239
Patriot front for the of our nation

2034
01:28:24,239 --> 01:28:27,440
Liberty of our people liy for the

2035
01:28:27,440 --> 01:28:32,119
victory of the American Spirit Victory

2036
01:28:32,119 --> 01:28:34,360
they're producing what they refer to as

2037
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,440
propaganda they're studying books on

2038
01:28:36,440 --> 01:28:39,600
fascism because they believe democracy

2039
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:41,639
has failed and their vision for the

2040
01:28:41,639 --> 01:28:47,119
future is a dominant white race that has

2041
01:28:47,119 --> 01:28:50,679
captured the Republican party and has

2042
01:28:50,679 --> 01:28:53,480
defeated their political opponents by

2043
01:28:53,480 --> 01:28:56,960
violence or by

2044
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,199
exclusion these guys showed up in

2045
01:28:59,199 --> 01:29:02,600
Philadelphia on the 4th of July 2021 and

2046
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:05,520
assaulted a bunch of

2047
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,840
people nothing came of it cuz the local

2048
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:16,400
cops didn't know what the hell were they

2049
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,239
were dealing with so this is a fascist

2050
01:29:19,239 --> 01:29:21,239
gang who's

2051
01:29:21,239 --> 01:29:23,840
operating all around the country police

2052
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,400
and say they prevented a possible

2053
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,480
domestic terror attack over the weekend

2054
01:29:28,480 --> 01:29:31,199
31 men were arrested all dressed alike

2055
01:29:31,199 --> 01:29:33,199
allegedly on their way to wreak haveit

2056
01:29:33,199 --> 01:29:36,040
at a pride event in the city of cordelan

2057
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,560
cordelan is just a few miles north of

2058
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,000
Hayden Lake and the Patriot front

2059
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,480
following in the footsteps of Lewis beam

2060
01:29:43,480 --> 01:29:45,960
had made it a base of operations and in

2061
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,080
the same way Denver WLAN had been

2062
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,159
targeted by qanon for officiating a gay

2063
01:29:51,159 --> 01:29:54,239
wedding Q's rhetoric casting the LG B

2064
01:29:54,239 --> 01:29:58,320
btq Community as groomers and pedophiles

2065
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,840
helped put them squarely in the sights

2066
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,840
of the white nationalist Patriot front

2067
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,320
while the proud boys the oathkeepers the

2068
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,400
3centers are a threat the ones that I'm

2069
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,280
really afraid of are the Gen Z ones the

2070
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:14,639
service members who have served during a

2071
01:30:14,639 --> 01:30:16,480
time of relative peace these young

2072
01:30:16,480 --> 01:30:18,840
people who joined to fight never got a

2073
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,199
chance to fight and who starting in

2074
01:30:22,199 --> 01:30:24,400
conservative Echo Chambers online have

2075
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,440
been brought into the proud boy to

2076
01:30:27,440 --> 01:30:29,840
fascist pipeline so

2077
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,480
gab is an alternative social media

2078
01:30:33,480 --> 01:30:36,400
platform that was created to be a safe

2079
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:37,480
space for

2080
01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:40,320
neo-nazis one of the groups on here is

2081
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,159
the national Justice party this is a

2082
01:30:43,159 --> 01:30:45,719
Neo-Nazi party within the United States

2083
01:30:45,719 --> 01:30:49,480
whose goal is to use protests to

2084
01:30:49,480 --> 01:30:53,080
radicalize Trump supporters into

2085
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:54,480
explicit

2086
01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:55,400
white

2087
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,239
supremacy they're developing new and

2088
01:30:58,239 --> 01:31:00,719
original propaganda that paint them in a

2089
01:31:00,719 --> 01:31:04,280
light of achieving the power the ability

2090
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:09,320
to shape politics and engage in violence

2091
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,000
in a way that they thought they were

2092
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:13,600
going to get from the military they

2093
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,280
understand how to recruit people into

2094
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:18,119
that lifestyle so right here this is an

2095
01:31:18,119 --> 01:31:19,560
Italian Maye

2096
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:23,679
frgo uh I don't care that was the slogan

2097
01:31:23,679 --> 01:31:27,000
of of the fascist party under

2098
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,320
melini so what they're trying to do is

2099
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,920
make white nationalism look like it's

2100
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:35,840
testosterone filled way to be a man I

2101
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,159
believe that these Young Veterans who

2102
01:31:38,159 --> 01:31:39,679
getting out and joining things like

2103
01:31:39,679 --> 01:31:41,440
patriate front and nationalist socialist

2104
01:31:41,440 --> 01:31:44,400
club and the word Nazi is nationalist

2105
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,320
socialist I think that the Republican

2106
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,400
party is is you know more than capable

2107
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,600
of adopting that IDE ideology in a way

2108
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,000
that that's unfathomable even to me you

2109
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,199
know I I never saw us where we are today

2110
01:31:57,199 --> 01:32:00,840
I I think another four years things

2111
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,400
could be far

2112
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,119
worse I think the worst case scenario is

2113
01:32:09,119 --> 01:32:11,480
probably worse than most of us want to

2114
01:32:11,480 --> 01:32:14,280
imagine I could see a civil war because

2115
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:15,560
this is the same movement we've been

2116
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:17,560
dealing with this whole time it's

2117
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:19,360
reasonable to assume that what we can

2118
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,080
see is only about half of the activity

2119
01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,199
that there is an underground that is in

2120
01:32:24,199 --> 01:32:26,520
violent action training in camps trying

2121
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:28,960
to accumulate weapons and preparing for

2122
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:30,679
violence when you talk about Civil War

2123
01:32:30,679 --> 01:32:32,840
or specific sectors of the country that

2124
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,159
could go kinetic just go to these areas

2125
01:32:35,159 --> 01:32:36,600
where you see the first big far-left

2126
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,400
protest when Republicans take back the

2127
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,119
house boom if there's anybody out there

2128
01:32:41,119 --> 01:32:43,800
from antifa our black lives matters

2129
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,760
spend your first [ __ ] bullet up my

2130
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:48,199
chest okay or if Republicans think that

2131
01:32:48,199 --> 01:32:49,920
one of the state elections were stolen

2132
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,320
boom forget right in your legislators

2133
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:54,639
you got to do something it's it's We the

2134
01:32:54,639 --> 01:32:56,440
People you're going to have to take my

2135
01:32:56,440 --> 01:32:58,440
life there's no way I'll die on this

2136
01:32:58,440 --> 01:33:01,000
hill there's no way no way all of this

2137
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,080
can happen who's to say that if a

2138
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,440
legislation came down where we l our

2139
01:33:05,440 --> 01:33:06,639
Second Amendment tomorrow that that

2140
01:33:06,639 --> 01:33:09,080
wouldn't start a civil war to be honest

2141
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:10,400
with you I don't know of any veteran

2142
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,239
that wants wool in this country but at

2143
01:33:12,239 --> 01:33:14,719
the very same time when you look back to

2144
01:33:14,719 --> 01:33:16,360
what our founding fathers wanted for

2145
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,760
this country we are so far away from

2146
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,280
that today it's just something they're

2147
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:25,080
ready for and their gun safe is full

2148
01:33:25,639 --> 01:33:26,960
if you're prepared you're prepared and

2149
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,280
if you're not you're not if you're armed

2150
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:31,080
then you're somewhat prepared to defend

2151
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:33,360
your family and yourself if you're not

2152
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:36,880
armed you're dog

2153
01:33:37,719 --> 01:33:40,480
meate there's imminent Civil War if we

2154
01:33:40,480 --> 01:33:42,199
don't fix our elections and actually

2155
01:33:42,199 --> 01:33:45,440
make them Bonafide again we don't have

2156
01:33:45,440 --> 01:33:47,520
2024 there is no

2157
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:50,920
2024 but it is the election of 2024 that

2158
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,320
opens up a different front one that is

2159
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:56,440
potenti as dangerous as a violent Civil

2160
01:33:56,440 --> 01:33:58,280
War there are people in this movement

2161
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,119
who believe that the nation cannot be

2162
01:34:00,119 --> 01:34:02,719
saved as it is and must be overthrown in

2163
01:34:02,719 --> 01:34:05,040
order to make way for a white ethnostate

2164
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:06,320
and then there are probably people in

2165
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:08,159
this movement who think aha there's an

2166
01:34:08,159 --> 01:34:11,040
opening here to run for office and mount

2167
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,440
a sort of coup from inside in order to

2168
01:34:13,440 --> 01:34:15,679
change the very nature of the nation you

2169
01:34:15,679 --> 01:34:17,440
know I worry about scenarios in which

2170
01:34:17,440 --> 01:34:20,239
you know in 2024 uh one party controls

2171
01:34:20,239 --> 01:34:21,480
Congress the other party wins a

2172
01:34:21,480 --> 01:34:23,000
presidential election Congress refuses

2173
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,920
to certify the election the Republican

2174
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,199
party has a pretty systematic plan to

2175
01:34:27,199 --> 01:34:29,760
have state legislator impose themselves

2176
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:31,159
much more directly into the

2177
01:34:31,159 --> 01:34:33,199
certification of electors to perhaps

2178
01:34:33,199 --> 01:34:34,920
also suppress some democratic votes

2179
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,159
along the way so I do think the chances

2180
01:34:37,159 --> 01:34:39,400
of a real attempt to overturn a

2181
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:41,800
legitimate election results are not

2182
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,000
nothing and they're not tiny and then

2183
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,040
somebody as president or people that are

2184
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:48,440
elected that aren't do aren't there in a

2185
01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:50,119
in a legal way and then that's when The

2186
01:34:50,119 --> 01:34:51,560
Descent happens and that's the end of

2187
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:54,119
our country and our legal norms and that

2188
01:34:54,119 --> 01:34:56,159
scares the hell out of me this country

2189
01:34:56,159 --> 01:34:58,199
you as individuals with the individual

2190
01:34:58,199 --> 01:34:59,920
liberties and individual rights that you

2191
01:34:59,920 --> 01:35:02,199
have you need to start assuming risk for

2192
01:35:02,199 --> 01:35:03,800
your neighborhoods and your communities

2193
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:07,080
in your towns you have to get involved

2194
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:08,600
General Flynn's ultimate plan is to

2195
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,760
undermine democracy is to get his

2196
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:15,560
digital soldiers to radicalize the rest

2197
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:17,960
of the Republican base go run for dog

2198
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:19,960
catcher if you don't like this who's

2199
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:21,639
running your school board go run for the

2200
01:35:21,639 --> 01:35:23,719
school board if you don't like who's

2201
01:35:23,719 --> 01:35:25,239
running your little town or your little

2202
01:35:25,239 --> 01:35:28,639
Parish go get involved if Flynn can

2203
01:35:28,639 --> 01:35:31,119
convince his followers to push enough

2204
01:35:31,119 --> 01:35:33,600
good people out of government they'll

2205
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,719
beat us into submission I don't want

2206
01:35:36,719 --> 01:35:38,760
guys like disgraced former General

2207
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:42,280
Michael Flynn to be deciding who's an

2208
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:44,760
American and who's not General Flynn do

2209
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,119
you believe the violence on January 6th

2210
01:35:47,119 --> 01:35:51,440
was justified I said I I said because

2211
01:35:51,440 --> 01:35:55,760
their movement is about excluding others

2212
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:59,080
it's not about the will of the people

2213
01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:01,920
it's about suppressing opposition it's

2214
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,480
about power General Flynn do you believe

2215
01:36:04,480 --> 01:36:06,119
in the peaceful transition of power in

2216
01:36:06,119 --> 01:36:08,159
the United States of

2217
01:36:08,159 --> 01:36:11,480
America that's fa this is how countries

2218
01:36:11,480 --> 01:36:14,480
Fall Apart part of my experience as a

2219
01:36:14,480 --> 01:36:15,760
veteran and as somebody who's worked

2220
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:17,880
with refugees and done human rights work

2221
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,320
I know what happens when the center

2222
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:22,280
cannot hold and a and a society falls

2223
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:24,320
apart I know what happens when your

2224
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,440
ethnic Identity or your in-group

2225
01:36:26,440 --> 01:36:28,760
outgroup membership becomes a life and

2226
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,320
death issue and when Neighbors start

2227
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,840
killing each other I've seen it and

2228
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:35,480
whatever your Twitter bravado about the

2229
01:36:35,480 --> 01:36:37,719
next civil war is nobody wants to see

2230
01:36:37,719 --> 01:36:40,000
that I mean that is the road to Hell the

2231
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,400
very worst case scenario is that we

2232
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:44,239
slide to

2233
01:36:44,239 --> 01:36:48,719
authoritarians that we are not able to

2234
01:36:48,719 --> 01:36:50,960
climb out of this we have seen this

2235
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,719
happen over and over and over again in

2236
01:36:53,719 --> 01:36:56,520
other countries we have seen them fight

2237
01:36:56,520 --> 01:37:00,199
back against the first wave and not be

2238
01:37:00,199 --> 01:37:02,080
ready for the second and not be ready

2239
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:04,360
for the third this is a this is going to

2240
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:07,239
take a long time and it's going to take

2241
01:37:07,239 --> 01:37:09,280
everything we have to make sure that our

2242
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,000
democracy is still standing at the end

2243
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,000
of it I hope that people are [ __ ]

2244
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,960
scared because being scared motivates

2245
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:19,199
people and I I want you to be scared by

2246
01:37:19,199 --> 01:37:20,840
what's true and I want you to look at

2247
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:23,800
evidence I you to think critically and

2248
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:25,400
do everything within your power and

2249
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:29,040
within the uh confines of of the law to

2250
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:30,440
make sure that we don't live in that

2251
01:37:30,440 --> 01:37:32,400
dystopian future that could just be a

2252
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,960
few years

2253
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:41,920
away I went to my son's grave site and I

2254
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:44,960
just felt so helpless it made me angry

2255
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,040
that my son's sacrifice almost felt like

2256
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,679
it was in vain now I've refocused and I

2257
01:37:49,679 --> 01:37:51,040
had to take a look at it I had to do a

2258
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:52,840
lot of soul searching to understand that

2259
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,440
that's not the case

2260
01:37:56,270 --> 01:37:57,480
[Music]

2261
01:37:57,480 --> 01:38:01,760
case and this fight is not over it's far

2262
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:03,639
from over and it may never be over but

2263
01:38:03,639 --> 01:38:05,480
his sacrifice is not in

2264
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:08,360
vain my service service of everyone else

2265
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,119
of all Americans regardless of your wore

2266
01:38:10,119 --> 01:38:11,639
a uniform as long as you got up in the

2267
01:38:11,639 --> 01:38:13,119
morning you just try to do the right

2268
01:38:13,119 --> 01:38:15,599
thing it's not in vain what if every

2269
01:38:15,599 --> 01:38:17,960
Young American did national service for

2270
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:20,599
a year maybe in uniform but not

2271
01:38:20,599 --> 01:38:22,280
necessarily what if they didn't in

2272
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,840
health care conservation education how

2273
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,199
would they feel about each other at the

2274
01:38:26,199 --> 01:38:29,480
end of that by experience we know you

2275
01:38:29,480 --> 01:38:31,480
almost always feel different more

2276
01:38:31,480 --> 01:38:34,280
tightly you break down many of your

2277
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,679
preconceived prejudices against other

2278
01:38:36,679 --> 01:38:40,679
groups trust starts to

2279
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:42,960
build in

2280
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:46,119
2013 I first applied to my local

2281
01:38:46,119 --> 01:38:48,599
Community

2282
01:38:49,480 --> 01:38:52,800
College having had my military

2283
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:54,360
experience turn turn out so negative

2284
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:56,000
I'll be honest my confidence was

2285
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,560
destroyed and I was like terrified of

2286
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:00,679
registering for classes because I was

2287
01:39:00,679 --> 01:39:03,679
terrified of failure and I went over the

2288
01:39:03,679 --> 01:39:06,040
course of my first semester at Nassau

2289
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,760
Community College fulfilling a lot of

2290
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:10,760
bad stereotypes about veterans you know

2291
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,480
coming in having my headphones on having

2292
01:39:13,480 --> 01:39:15,360
my hoodie over my head kind of just like

2293
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,560
sitting down not talking to anybody not

2294
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,280
engaging and a group of student veterans

2295
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,480
at my Community College identified that

2296
01:39:23,480 --> 01:39:26,080
that recognized that it was a problem

2297
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,920
and helped to break me up my

2298
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:31,520
shell I went from being that guy who

2299
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:33,040
doesn't talk to anybody and sits in the

2300
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:35,440
corner to being elected to represent all

2301
01:39:35,440 --> 01:39:37,199
of the student Veterans of my school

2302
01:39:37,199 --> 01:39:40,040
student Veterans of Nassau is a chapter

2303
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,040
of student Veterans of America it's a

2304
01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:44,560
National Organization focused on

2305
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:45,880
basically easing people in the

2306
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,440
transition from combat to college to

2307
01:39:48,440 --> 01:39:49,880
careers one of the things that the

2308
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,360
veteran Center does is it allows for us

2309
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:55,080
to kind of get back into an environment

2310
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:57,080
that we're familiar with it gives us a

2311
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,000
sense of camaraderie that we really miss

2312
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,400
from the military it's not something

2313
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:03,520
that happened overnight but it set me on

2314
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,480
the path towards recovery and rather

2315
01:40:05,480 --> 01:40:08,280
than feel like the future was

2316
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,520
predetermined by these powerful groups

2317
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:11,719
and that there was nothing that I could

2318
01:40:11,719 --> 01:40:13,920
do in fight against them I started to

2319
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:16,440
accept the idea of maybe the truth is

2320
01:40:16,440 --> 01:40:19,080
somewhere in the middle and because most

2321
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:20,840
of my interactions with the outside

2322
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,880
world were in person person to person I

2323
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:27,159
wasn't as easily able to seek out an

2324
01:40:27,159 --> 01:40:29,320
echo chamber that didn't challenge my

2325
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:32,320
opinions that only reinforced my beliefs

2326
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:34,760
that diversity of opinion is what kept

2327
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:36,840
me from you know joining the oathkeepers

2328
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:38,880
when it first sprang up that helped to

2329
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:40,320
break me out of

2330
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,199
it a lot of veterans getting out they

2331
01:40:43,199 --> 01:40:45,320
don't have that opportunity we're in a

2332
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:46,440
different

2333
01:40:46,440 --> 01:40:49,719
world in this new world our troops have

2334
01:40:49,719 --> 01:40:52,840
to be trained to not only defend

2335
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:56,440
themselves against a Chinese sniper or a

2336
01:40:56,440 --> 01:40:57,560
Russian

2337
01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:01,320
tank but against enemy disinformation

2338
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:04,239
campaigns on the Internet it's also true

2339
01:41:04,239 --> 01:41:07,199
that disinformation is not just coming

2340
01:41:07,199 --> 01:41:11,119
from China and Russia we know how to

2341
01:41:11,119 --> 01:41:14,360
combat malicious misinformation we did a

2342
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:17,440
pretty good job teaching soldiers and

2343
01:41:17,440 --> 01:41:19,760
citizens how to not fall for Nazi

2344
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:22,239
propaganda we did a pretty good job

2345
01:41:22,239 --> 01:41:24,199
teaching soldiers citizens how to not

2346
01:41:24,199 --> 01:41:25,880
fall for communist propaganda all

2347
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:27,239
through the Cold

2348
01:41:27,239 --> 01:41:30,080
War the problem with that of course is

2349
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:32,000
that you know opposition to the Nazis

2350
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:33,639
was a goal shared by both political

2351
01:41:33,639 --> 01:41:35,800
parties in America opposition to the

2352
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,239
Soviet Union was a goal shared by most

2353
01:41:38,239 --> 01:41:40,040
across the political Spectrum in America

2354
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,440
right now this conflict you know it's

2355
01:41:42,440 --> 01:41:44,320
far too partisan it's far too divisive

2356
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:46,320
and it's far too politicized we know how

2357
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,760
to do this but it takes unity and this

2358
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:50,760
is a layer cake of problems this is

2359
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:53,840
something that does not just exist at a

2360
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,520
DOD policy level this is about how

2361
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:58,440
journalists talk about the movement how

2362
01:41:58,440 --> 01:42:01,440
our laws prosecute the movement how our

2363
01:42:01,440 --> 01:42:03,400
national leaders direct their time and

2364
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:06,000
attention we know that there is a lack

2365
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:10,119
of political will to establish or to

2366
01:42:10,119 --> 01:42:13,360
create a domestic terrorism law yet I

2367
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,960
think there is a big possibility that we

2368
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,560
can designate these groups as

2369
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,800
International terrorist organizations so

2370
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:26,280
what that means we can take all the

2371
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:30,239
rules the laws the authorities that the

2372
01:42:30,239 --> 01:42:31,880
FBI and other law enforcement and

2373
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,880
intelligence agencies have to go after

2374
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:38,000
them the same way we go after

2375
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,119
International terrorist organizations

2376
01:42:40,119 --> 01:42:42,800
who's paid a price who's paid a price

2377
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:45,920
for being a conspiratorial irresponsible

2378
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,000
demagogic extremist with the exception

2379
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,599
of a few true believers who were just

2380
01:42:50,599 --> 01:42:53,199
duped and taken in and foolishly

2381
01:42:53,199 --> 01:42:55,480
believed all this stuff most of them are

2382
01:42:55,480 --> 01:42:57,960
going about going along doing fine

2383
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,360
voters need to decide whether they are

2384
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,880
comfortable with those who inight

2385
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:07,159
violence representing them and movements

2386
01:43:07,159 --> 01:43:11,440
like this end when the entire population

2387
01:43:11,440 --> 01:43:13,560
decides that they are

2388
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:16,150
unacceptable we haven't seen that

2389
01:43:16,150 --> 01:43:19,250
[Music]

2390
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,599
yet so the ideal solution is

2391
01:43:21,599 --> 01:43:22,920
deradicalization but that's not

2392
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:24,599
something something I'm interested in

2393
01:43:24,599 --> 01:43:26,920
I'm interested in

2394
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,760
Justice and I'm interested in imposing

2395
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,239
costs on people are trying to hurt

2396
01:43:32,239 --> 01:43:34,040
America and

2397
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:36,400
Americans all I think about all day is

2398
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:38,440
finding bad guys and hoping that they

2399
01:43:38,440 --> 01:43:41,320
end up in jail documenting any

2400
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:43,000
potentially criminal Behavior

2401
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:45,159
documenting things that if they're not

2402
01:43:45,159 --> 01:43:49,000
illegal society would frown upon and

2403
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:51,760
ultimately it's to put a cost behind

2404
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:55,400
being in Insurgent within the United

2405
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:58,800
States I'm a Nazi Hunter but it doesn't

2406
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,000
mean we're going to win and that's what

2407
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,639
I want to tell people

2408
01:44:01,639 --> 01:44:04,920
this good doesn't always Triumph but I

2409
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:06,960
do believe the oath means something and

2410
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:09,400
I know that I'm going directly against

2411
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:10,840
people who think that they also are

2412
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,480
honoring their oath in the same way and

2413
01:44:13,480 --> 01:44:14,840
that's why I think this makes this

2414
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:17,159
dangerous but what's enabling that

2415
01:44:17,159 --> 01:44:19,800
Schism to

2416
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:23,880
happen is the LIE which world of Truth

2417
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,080
do you live in it's not about commitment

2418
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,560
to country that's shared so the only way

2419
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:29,840
back to get back together the only the

2420
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,520
only possibility of reconciliation is a

2421
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:34,360
conversation that can occur in you know

2422
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:36,320
in an environment of Truth we can either

2423
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,159
reconcile with with each other as a

2424
01:44:38,159 --> 01:44:41,239
country or we can have a conflict where

2425
01:44:41,239 --> 01:44:43,239
do I want America to

2426
01:44:43,239 --> 01:44:47,239
go not here not where we're at this path

2427
01:44:47,239 --> 01:44:48,840
we're on will kill us it'll kill this

2428
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,560
country it'll kill Freedom it'll kill

2429
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:52,280
our camaraderie it'll kill our

2430
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:54,520
compassion and our human decency for

2431
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,880
each other what I'd like to see is for

2432
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,159
the people on both sides all come

2433
01:44:59,159 --> 01:45:02,560
together and agree on going by the truth

2434
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,239
only if we can do that then this nation

2435
01:45:05,239 --> 01:45:08,599
can be Salvage do I see that

2436
01:45:08,599 --> 01:45:10,760
happening no I

2437
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:15,360
don't I can hope though
