Veterans for responsible leadership. 00:00:06.901 --> 00:00:08.300 [Veterans for Responsible Leadership] 00:00:09.790 --> 00:00:12.403 [Meidas studios] 00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:15.107 I would love your reaction to this 00:00:15.107 --> 00:00:17.285 I mean this is something that we come across 00:00:17.285 --> 00:00:19.319 in like a group that's recruiting veterans NOTE Paragraph 00:00:19.319 --> 00:00:20.400 so if you like an exer 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.880 if you look at like questions 15 16 and 17 00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:30.280 Ah Jesus! 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.240 So I'm looking at an intake questionnaire 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:33.440 for a violent extremist group 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:34.920 and I'm going to read you three of the questions. 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.560 Question 15: are you in the military or a veteran? 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:38.704 If so, which branch? 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.670 16: If it comes down to it would you go against the oath you took 00:00:42.670 --> 00:00:44.420 in the military and law enforcement. 00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:47.846 You could end up fighting against your military/law enforcement brothers 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.840 I mean I I think you got to consider where somebody has to be 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.960 in order to say yes to those three questions 00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.578 and also some of the capabilities and training 00:00:59.578 --> 00:01:01.348 that some of these individuals bring. 00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:03.169 There are places in our military 00:01:03.169 --> 00:01:08.520 where we are trained to start and fuel insurgencies. 00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:11.079 There are places in our military where we are trained 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.276 to overthrow governments or work with armed militias 00:01:14.276 --> 00:01:15.481 in order to do that sort of thing. 00:01:15.481 --> 00:01:17.680 I'm not saying this to be alarmist 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.759 and I don't think we need to be afraid of our veterans. 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:22.896 What I do think is that we need to have a solid understanding 00:01:22.896 --> 00:01:26.001 of how badly this could escalate. 00:01:26.470 --> 00:01:29.720 We're not at the point where violence is the solution to our problems 00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:33.740 but there are a lot of people trying to convince vets and others that we are; 00:01:34.030 --> 00:01:36.221 and that is a very dangerous thing. 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.920 Today, domestic terrorism is the greatest terrorist threat 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.520 facing the United 00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:48.960 [Music] 00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:51.399 States the threat is real and we are all 00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:54.200 at risk for decades violent extremist 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.439 groups have sought to infiltrate our 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.600 military to gain tactical training and 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:01.479 access to weapons and explosives 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.840 I do believe the oath means something 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.000 and I know that I'm going directly 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.598 against people who think that they also 00:02:10.598 --> 00:02:13.400 are honoring their 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.040 oath I I do solemnly swear the of the 00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:23.120 United States enemies foreign and 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.920

shouldn't be allowed in society and 00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:36.200 so forth what they don't realize is that 00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:39.799 this is what gave us our freedom this is 00:03:39.799 -->

--> 00:04:45.080 effectively you know I learned how to 00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:46.880 ride a horse when I was about six the 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:48.919 property that we lived at was a lot like

actually execute 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.520 with whatever tool I'm 00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:20.080 using but what you learn in the military 00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:22.840 in the Army is your Scopes will fail you 00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:24.199 your red dots will fail you the 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.319 batteries will wear out but your irons 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.199 never ever will so I've never had 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.199 anything on my rifles other than uh my 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:33.400 iron 00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:37.919 sights not the best grouping but from 60 00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:41.960 yards 50 yards it'll work up 00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:45.600 close they all be in the 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.199 center good 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.319 boy come 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.880 herey I spent my whole life wanting to 00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:59.639 join the military I mean there's a photo 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.360 photo right behind me of me when I was 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.160 probably like 5 years old wearing 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.639 camouflage Head To Toe with a pair of 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.319 dog tags feel like most kids that I grew 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:09.960 up with went through a phase of wanting 00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:12.120 to be a cop or a firefighter or an army 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.280 man right I never grew out of 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.599 that then when I was 16 years old 00:06:20.599 --> 00:06:22.639 September 11th happened and it kind of 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.759 put a different spin on that desire to 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.280 serve I went to go out and find bad guys 00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:30.880 and find 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:35.039 justice so this is when I was 18 years 00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:38.160 old in basic training and it's the 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.039 standard photo that you take before you 00:06:40.039 --> 00:06:42.720 know what anything on the uniform means 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.440 so you notice there's no ribbon no name 00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:47.400 tag anything like that it's a a 00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:51.120 barebones uniform I was wearing a shirt 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.199 jacket and tie that weren't mine I mean 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.800 this is ignorance is bliss right here 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.759 that's that's what this photo is the 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.319 historical record is absolutely clear 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.240 that the aftermath of warfare is a 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.599 danger point for anti-democratic 00:07:06.599 --> 00:07:08.759 violence for racist violence for 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.360 activity among Clan and white power 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.960 groups there's no question that this is 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:15.919 the case all of us men women people who 00:07:15.919 --> 00:07:18.199 have served or not old people children 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.840 everyone becomes more violent in the 00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:22.120 aftermath of warfare I think that what 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.120 we don't know yet is what happens to 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.520 that phenomenon when we're talking about 00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:30.440 a 20-year War 00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:34.560 my career started as a enlisted Soldier 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.680 I was Private Crow uh and then um almost 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.960 a decade later it it ended as Captain 00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:42.520 Crow over that period well over a 100 00:07:42.520 --> 00:07:44.319 combat missions between Iraq and 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.560 Afghanistan and of course felt like I 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.800 left that part of my life behind 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.720 me we will take that Dy we're going to 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.840 stor [ __ ] Capital [ __ ] you [ __ ] so 00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:58.879 on January 6th I had told all the 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.080 members of my staff not to come in to 00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:04.080 the office um I had heard reports of 00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:06.560 bugaloo boys and proud boys and others 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:10.360 um filling flights to come into the 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.520 [Applause] 00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:15.879 capital I think as a lot of us watch 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.680 things unfold on the 6th and then have 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.319 have looked at a lot of the footage 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.759 since you see things we recognize as 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.599 veterans that's affirmative gu this is 00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:28.919 talk on January 6th 2021 US military 00:08:28.919 --> 00:08:31.280 veterans who had sworn an oath to defend 00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:33.519 the country were at the Vanguard of a 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.719 violent attempt to stop Congress from 00:08:35.719 --> 00:08:38.440 certifying the 2020 presidential 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.839 election they were determined to keep 00:08:40.839 --> 00:08:43.599 Joe Biden from becoming president you 00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:45.600 can actually see if you look at it the 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.040 militia groups in the oath Creepers 00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:49.120 three centers the proud boys they're 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.839 organized they're behaving tactically 00:08:51.839 --> 00:08:53.800 they understand that the Dynamics of a 00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:56.360 crowd and they're maneuvering to exploit 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.360 that mass of bodies you know so you see 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.600 an organized line of militia members 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.040 with shields ready to go ready to 00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:03.600 exploit a breach pushing the crowd in 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.880 certain 00:09:06.079 --> 00:09:08.760 directions the mob broke through into 00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:10.839 the capital they evacuated leadership 00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:12.720 they evacuated the floor but they had 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.440 forgotten that there were about two 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.480 dozen members up in the gallery 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.279 everybody stay down get 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:21.600 down the floor of the house was 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.720 evacuated but there was no safe 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.800 evacuation route evidently um from the 00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:29.360 the gallery there's no safe place in the 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.680 United States for any of these 00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:33.800 [ __ ] military principal 105 00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:36.279 cave means grave and that's why I 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:37.640 realized we were trapped there was no 00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:39.200 way out and we would likely have to make 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.240 a stand or fight our way out this was 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:42.839 one of the most shocking moments of my 00:09:42.839 --> 00:09:44.800 life I made the decision to call my wife 00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:47.440 and let her know that I uh love her and 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.360 tell the kids that I love 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.120 them the only time that the US capital 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.480 had been breached before was in the War 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.360 of 1812 and that was care of the British 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.680 king here we are in the capital No 00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:04.360 Looking Back Now boys no looking back 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.200 this is what we [ __ ] lived up for 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.240 everything we [ __ ] trained 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.120 for this was the kind of experience that 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.279 I expected as a US Marine in Iraq but 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.000 could never even imagine happening as a 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.880 United States Congressman in Washington 00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:20.640 DC you know many people have seen the 00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:23.440 pictures they had barred the door to the 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.040 gallery they were banging on that door 00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:27.640 and breaking the glass to that door I've 00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:30.079 often asked myself how did I end up on 00:10:30.079 --> 00:10:32.600 one side of that door and my fellow 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.040 veterans who raised their same right 00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:37.680 hand and took the same oath that I took 00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:38.880 how did they end up on the other side of 00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:41.079 that 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.120 door nearly 150 law enforcement officers 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.390 were injured in the 00:10:51.390 --> 00:10:53.720 [Music] 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.959 melee five protesters died and another 00:10:56.959 --> 00:11:00.680 four police officers later committed 00:11:00.680 --> 00:11:04.120 suicide Donald Trump tweeted out a video 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.600 he said we did a good [ __ ] job among 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.839 those charged in connection with the 00:11:09.839 --> 00:11:13.000 attack a disproportionate number are US 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.560 military 00:11:18.030 --> 00:11:24.600 [Music] 00:11:26.079 --> 00:11:28.600 veterans for me now the capital is 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.760 almost like 00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:32.760 around Gettysburg or antium or going to 00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:35.160 Pearl Harbor and my son Michael was 00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:37.480 killed in action in Afghanistan in June 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.440 14th 2008 and when you join the military 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.680 there's a lot of lot of competing ideals 00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:45.440 of why you show up and and for most of 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.279 it there's a there's a a large amount of 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.920 patriotism but you never lose focus and 00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:56.839 never lose sight that you know I'm here 00:11:56.839 --> 00:11:58.399 in this country maybe to give them a 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.519 better chance to experience what we have 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.760 in America where it's not perfect we are 00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:06.480 trying to form a more perfect union 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.720 every day and we want to give that 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.839 chance to other 00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:12.720 people my son died doing that in 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.199 Afghanistan only for us to to lose that 00:12:16.199 --> 00:12:18.639 sight 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.199 here veterans who swear that oath to 00:12:24.199 --> 00:12:26.440 protect and defend the Constitution of 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.399 the United States against all enemies 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.120 foreign and 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.680 domestic of all 00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:35.160 Americans they should 00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:37.880 understand how dangerous and 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:39.760 unpatriotic this 00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:42.040 Insurrection 00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:44.920 was they were trying to 00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:47.480 overthrow democratic election 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.720 results they shouted for the hanging of 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.360 our own vice 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.959 president that's a coup 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.519 attempt watching the instr Direction 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.480 happened and we're going to call it that 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.920 because that's what it was and watching 00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:06.279 veterans participate being at the 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.000 Vanguard of that Insurrection it just 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.839 it's mindboggling but I I don't I don't 00:13:10.839 --> 00:13:13.000 have a really good answer for why why 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.240 veterans would do 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.659 [Applause] 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.000 that though I was trained to blow stuff 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.399 up and run with the Infantry I became 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.480 this unofficial On The Ground 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.279 Intelligence reporter May 15 20 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.920 2005 we got called to uh respond to a 00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.600 body that was found in a trash dump 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.040 outside solder City when we got there uh 00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:41.000 we realized that it wasn't a body it was 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.480 a bunch of bodies and uh I had never 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.920 experienced anything like it and now as 00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:51.639 I was taking photos closeup photos of 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.680 these faces of victims of murder and 00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:55.800 torture I was looking at their wounds 00:13:55.800 --> 00:13:57.360 and looking at the packaging tape that 00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.279 was wrapped around their eyes and imagin 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.600 the terror that they 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.320 felt and every time I snap a 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.000 picture one of those faces 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.600 freezes 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.920 and the way that it froze on the screen 00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:13.560 it froze in my 00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:16.880 head but that was just a day of 00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:20.680 deployment and I had 6 and 1 half months 00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:25.759 7 months left of Iraq to deal with 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.360 that I went in as 11 br to the Army I 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.040 scored fairly high so I went to Airborne 00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:34.920 school which was going to be my next uh 00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:38.320 step of training for special forces and 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:39.920 uh during that time I ended up getting 00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:42.759 injured really 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.720 badly when I came home I had spent my 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.000 entire adult life up to that point you 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.519 know either training for combat or in 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.880 combat it was hard for me to think of 00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:56.480 anything positive in any way whether 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.120 it's for myself or for my country or for 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.360 democracy or for the 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.839 world I couldn't help but base my 00:15:05.839 --> 00:15:08.800 beliefs and my feelings on my 00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:11.279 experiences all of which had been 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.320 horrifically [ __ ] 00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:17.079 negative when most come out of the 00:15:17.079 --> 00:15:20.120 military they're coming out to a world 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:21.800 that they no longer understand anymore 00:15:21.800 --> 00:15:23.680 you really get lost in that life when 00:15:23.680 --> 00:15:24.880 you're in the military you know what 00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:27.000 happens is you have the camaraderie the 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.160 friendship all the good things that you 00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:30.560 have in the military and then when you 00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:34.720 come out you kind of have Society that's 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.639 undisciplined incapable and and just 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.160 downright 00:15:39.160 --> 00:15:41.720 ugly good evening I'm Jamie yucas a 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.519 massive police presence in Portland 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.079 Oregon today in anticipation of a 00:15:46.079 --> 00:15:48.560 violent 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.519 confrontation I'm a proud boy I'm a 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.240 president of the Hellgate Bridge crew 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.720 chapter in New York City I'm also an Air 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.839 Force veteran what we're going through 00:15:57.839 --> 00:16:00.920 right now is is a war on the US 00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:03.839 Constitution biggest reason why I joined 00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:06.680 the Air Force myself you know it's to 00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:08.199 get back to my country to serve my 00:16:08.199 --> 00:16:10.759 country I think a lot of that kind of 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.399 came from my up upbringing you know the 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:15.240 family that I grew up in you know very 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.040 proud to be an American uh very proud of 00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:19.319 what America stood for what it 00:16:19.319 --> 00:16:21.199 represented around the world very 00:16:21.199 --> 00:16:23.160 patriotic and I think a lot of those 00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:25.279 things that which last today members of 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.519 The Proud boys and antifa fought 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.519 multiple times mayor Ted wheeler just 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.279 sent out a statement late today saying 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.360 this past weekend quote put innocent 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.279 lives at risk the proud boys were 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:39.480 founded in New York in 2016 you want to 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.440 keep on poking a Sleeping Bear guess 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.199 what it's going to rise up and it's 00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:45.720 going to be 1776 up in this [ __ ] and 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:47.839 are classified as an international 00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:50.720 terrorist organization by Canada we're 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.600 Western shauvin but that essentially 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.759 means is that we're the biggest 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.319 cheerleaders for Western values Western 00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:59.480 culture small government 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.000 maximum Freedom maximum Liberty pro- 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.119 First Amendment Pro Second Amendment 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.240 glorifying the entrepreneur venerating 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.599 the housewife we're not militaristic in 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:10.599 any way shape or form the fact of the 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.160 matter is you have good guys in this 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.079 world you have bad guys in this world 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.400 and the only way to stand up to the bad 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.079 guys is to fight them they came to 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.119 prominence in America in September 2020 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.760 during a presidential debate between Joe 00:17:24.760 --> 00:17:29.280 Biden and Donald Trump suprem 00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:33.760 right stand back and stand by when I saw 00:17:33.760 --> 00:17:36.080 the president of the United States 00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:38.160 telling an extremist violent 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.080 organization stand 00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:44.240 by that was a chilling moment that was a 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.840 chilling moment for me it wasn't any 00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:48.440 different than a president of the United 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.960 States telling Al-Qaeda or telling Isis 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.679 look I have a tough election stand by 00:17:53.679 --> 00:17:55.240 let me tell you what you need to do did 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:58.039 we get a lot of notoriety absolutely of 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.039 course we did but at the very same time 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.039 it's it's not because we're racist it's 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.159 not because we're white supremacist if 00:18:04.159 --> 00:18:06.240 we think about what the militant right 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.000 and white power movement looks like 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.240 today there are many of these groups the 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.960 specifics can change from group to group 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.039 but the overall intent is the same the 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.320 common ideology is simple uh we had 00:18:19.320 --> 00:18:22.880 power we should have power power is 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.360 being taken away from us and by any 00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:27.440 means necessary we can get it back 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.000 fascist groups you have National social 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.080 group you have Southern nationalist 00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:31.280 groups you have all types of groups with 00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:32.559 all types of Creeds but ultimately we're 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.159 all being united because we all believe 00:18:34.159 --> 00:18:35.640 in the same thing which is ultimately 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.640 that white people have a right to exist 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.280 and whether the Wii is a white Wii will 00:18:42.280 --> 00:18:45.480 not replace us whether the wi is an 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.919 anti-government we they're all 00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:50.919 intertwined the more laws they pass it's 00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:52.720 going to end up the people versus the 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.640 government right now we're being 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.120 peaceful in the future nobody knows when 00:18:57.120 --> 00:19:00.200 that breaking Point's going M should 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.919 have hit a long time ago personally for 00:19:01.919 --> 00:19:03.960 me a lot of people think that ah you 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.520 know these are Knuckleheads and we 00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:07.679 shouldn't worry about them unfortunately 00:19:07.679 --> 00:19:09.520 we said the same thing about the jihadis 00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:12.000 prior to the events of 911 they live in 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.200 caves in Afghanistan they don't pose any 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.120 threat to the Homeland but by the time 00:19:16.120 --> 00:19:19.080 we decided to go after them after 9/11 00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:21.480 it was a little bit too 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.289 [Applause] 00:19:25.679 --> 00:19:28.240 late I would like to think that we would 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.080 draw the attention of people that are 00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:32.159 from the military with the military 00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:34.559 background and I think it it it would be 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.520 true of like the three centers or the Y 00:19:36.520 --> 00:19:38.960 Keepers the one thread that kind of 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.320 combines all of our groups is the US 00:19:41.320 --> 00:19:45.200 Constitution our respect for 00:19:54.159 --> 00:19:57.400 it and I signed up to defend this 00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.679 country I was essentially joining the 00:19:59.679 --> 00:20:03.000 3centers already the oath of enlistment 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.200 is the exact oath of a 3center I do 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.120 Solly swear I do so Solly swear that I 00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:12.880 will support and defend the Constitution 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.880 I will support and defend the 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.240 consti of the United 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:21.360 States United States against all enemies 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:24.840 against all enemies foreign and domestic 00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:26.360 foreign and 00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:30.600 domestic in Atlanta I met up with 3% SF 00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:32.760 and some of the other brothers out there 00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:34.799 and everybody was upset about the 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.159 election you know I mean basically we're 00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:39.200 looking at a criminal that has become 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.799 our President 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:43.960 illegitimately Joe Biden has already 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:45.919 harmed this country his son has already 00:20:45.919 --> 00:20:48.720 harmed this country we know for a fact 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.880 that that family is a criminal family 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.120 the situation we're in is a situation of 00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:58.360 treason the punishment for treason is 00:20:58.360 --> 00:21:00.600 death 00:21:00.679 --> 00:21:03.360 in America you have the right to be an 00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:06.440 [ __ ] you have the right to have the 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.280 most pathetic views in the world I don't 00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:09.760 have to agree with you you don't have to 00:21:09.760 --> 00:21:11.320 agree with me but that is a right 00:21:11.320 --> 00:21:13.039 protected by the first amendment I think 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.799 when we talk about violent extremist to 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:16.400 groups we're talk we're talking about 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.320 individuals that go 00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:23.039 beyond the narrative to violence people 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.960 who are planning to attack the US 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.240 government because it's an evil empire 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.799 people who are trying to you know kill 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.840 Jews or kill immigrants or kill black 00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:36.039 people just based on their race or on 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.279 their religion when you move away from 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.799 the narrative as 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:47.240 ugly as that narrative is to carry out 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.600 violence based on that narrative to 00:21:49.600 --> 00:21:51.880 recruit individuals to carry out 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.600 violence based on that narrative then 00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:57.679 you're a violent extremist then you're 00:21:57.679 --> 00:22:00.520 frankly a terrorist 00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:07.520 get get off 00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:10.679 get we used to talk about IEDs 00:22:10.679 --> 00:22:13.960 improvised explosive devices in Iraq and 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.760 they were incredibly lethal and what we 00:22:16.760 --> 00:22:19.480 learned as we tried to stop this was 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:21.559 that the problem was not the bomb itself 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.919 the problem you had to go left of the 00:22:23.919 --> 00:22:27.200 boom you had to go Upstream to the 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.960 problem and look at where where the 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:30.480 problem is coming from where's the 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.799 energy January 6th now a militia group 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.720 had stashes of guns on the outskirts of 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.760 DC ready to go on that fateful day 00:22:39.760 --> 00:22:42.159 during the Insurrection that's just one 00:22:42.159 --> 00:22:44.000 of the alarming allegations from the 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.480 justice department today after the feds 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:48.799 charged the leader steuart rhods and 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:50.520 several members of the right-wing group 00:22:50.520 --> 00:22:53.440 The oathkeepers with seditious 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.440 conspiracy Stuart rhods is a former

recruited Law 00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:07.400 Enforcement Officers active duty 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:10.000 military and Veterans their mission was 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:13.200 to supposedly defend the US Constitution 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.360 but it quickly devolved into an armed 00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:20.120 militia dedicated to overthrowing the US 00:23:20.120 --> 00:23:22.760 government the founders told us more 00:23:22.760 --> 00:23:24.600 wisdom that we must be the militia you 00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:26.960 will not be secure you will not be free 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.760 without it it's time we resurrect that 00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:31.880 and become the militia once again there 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.720 are thought to be 35,000 members in the 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.559 organization most of them heavily armed 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.760 and January 6th was not the first time 00:23:39.760 --> 00:23:42.640 rhs assembled his forces at an arsenal

our guys up there is f p for vet and we 00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:29.279 got another one that and retired stff 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.760 Ser 00:25:30.760 --> 00:25:33.200 that's I'm not surprised that extremist 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.200 organizations try to recruit veterans 00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.000 for The credibility that we bring but 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:38.799 also for our commitment um and that 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:40.880 commitment takes a lot of forms veterans 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.080 are people in our society who in many 00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:45.080 ways have said I will do whatever is 00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:47.039 necessary to preserve what I believe in 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.039 to preserve the Baseline values and the 00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:50.799 Baseline existence of my Society up to 00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:52.360 an including 00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:54.520 violence put a scope on them take a peek 00:25:54.520 --> 00:25:56.480 at and see if they got that's same kind 00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.559 of [ __ ] they've been doing their whole 00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:59.279 career you know now doing here inside 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:00.559 the United States it's kind of a weird 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.640 feeling I had two purple two purple 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.799 hearts already in a bron St they said 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.080 David only the way we'll call you back 00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:08.960 in if the [ __ ] going to hit the f I came 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.720 home to visit my mom and press withy was 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.080 taking a shower she'd come pounding on 00:26:13.080 --> 00:26:15.640 the door early in the morning she poting 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.240 a TV by the time second airplane hits 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.159 911 well 3 weeks later I was getting my 00:26:21.159 --> 00:26:23.559 shots our group was the second group 00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:25.580 that enter Afghanistan H H 00:26:25.580 --> 00:26:26.840 [Music] 00:26:26.840 --> 00:26:28.960 man it's 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:33.880 it's so enticing I mean I um God you get 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.200 to fight again you know it's um you know 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.960 you're trained in certain things you 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.320 know you can see the battlefield better 00:26:41.320 --> 00:26:42.720 uh if you believe the country is under 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:44.399 attack you have a certain set of skills 00:26:44.399 --> 00:26:46.520 that maybe you were trained uh trained 00:26:46.520 --> 00:26:48.640 with that you can you know help the 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:50.279 group around you right you're a force 00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.880 multiplier the quential examples of a 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.600 force multiplier are special forces Army 00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:57.840 Green Berets you know these 12-man a 00:26:57.840 --> 00:27:00.000 teams that actually go Behind Enemy 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.200 Lines and train up to a battalion you 00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.760 know up to six or 700 local indigenous 00:27:04.760 --> 00:27:07.120 forces on combat skills certainly I 00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:08.399 think that's one of the reasons why some 00:27:08.399 --> 00:27:11.360 of these extremist groups are recruiting 00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:13.760 these individuals very deliberately into 00:27:13.760 --> 00:27:15.360 their 00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:18.240 movements they're [ __ ] coming 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.559 that's you need lock load ready to go 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.799 hey guys everybody spread out get eyes 00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:27.640 open get a good perimeter 00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:33.120 they light [ __ ] on fire we can shoot on 00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:36.000 them right yep very [ __ ] well 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.279 hopefully they light sh on 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.519 fire when I was 21 and severely 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.279 damaged from a war that I had been lied 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.399 into and that my friends were dying for 00:27:48.399 --> 00:27:50.320 when a guy like Stuart rhods comes along 00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:52.640 with a Yale law degree and they see the 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:54.320 eye patch they don't know that he shot 00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:56.240 himself at a range but they assume he's 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.120 a combat wounded vet and says like hey 00:27:59.120 --> 00:28:01.039 you can support and defend the 00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:02.600 Constitution of the United States 00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:05.320 standing with us and just you know 00:28:05.320 --> 00:28:07.760 repeats the words of the the the second 00:28:07.760 --> 00:28:09.640 amendment that that's all it took for me 00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:12.640 to be like okay you know you know you've 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.919 got the pedigree you've got the 00:28:13.919 --> 00:28:16.159 background why should I challenge that 00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:19.760 you I I have no basis in in experience 00:28:19.760 --> 00:28:24.919 or education to challenge it 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.269 [Music] 00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:32.279 they're not going to let him get 00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:34.360 anywhere near yeah no cuz we're going to 00:28:34.360 --> 00:28:36.039 [ __ ] pain the streets 00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:39.279 man the challenge with having veterans 00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:42.480 directly involved is twofold the first 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:45.320 is that they bring a certain expertise 00:28:45.320 --> 00:28:46.880 they might bring in organizational 00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:50.640 skills or military skills that can make 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.279 a movement more dangerous all right War 00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.279 up let's 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.799 go the second thing that's disturbing 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.919 how ever is particularly in our society 00:29:00.919 --> 00:29:03.640 veterans have legitimacy they have a 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:08.000 particular place of respect and when we 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.760 see veterans involved in something it 00:29:10.760 --> 00:29:14.679 gives some component of legitimacy to 00:29:14.679 --> 00:29:16.880 that 00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.519 cause our command's been trying to tell 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:21.519 us to inform you that you are breaking 00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:24.720 curfew right now yes sir so if you could 00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:26.039 just go back to your 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:29.640 post not not by us just by we will have 00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:31.600 to enforce 00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:34.919 C appreciate 00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:39.559 it 00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.840 very veterans have a kind of social 00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:45.360 cache that provides cover for a lot of 00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:47.559 the extremist activity that these groups 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.200 are trying to do so if you turn out to a 00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:51.640 protest with a bunch of people in 00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:53.799 uniform much like if you turn out with a 00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:56.039 bunch of women um you have a different 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:58.240 kind of reception than if you turn turn 00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:02.480 out wearing say swastikas and hoods and 00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.120 robes so when we think about this this 00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:06.720 is along the lines of something like 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.840 choosing to come out in polo shirts and 00:30:08.840 --> 00:30:11.519 khakis or choosing to come out in funny 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.880 Hawaiian shirts as part of bugaloo those 00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:16.080 are deliberate decisions that are made 00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:18.600 to create the opportunity for public 00:30:18.600 --> 00:30:21.640 reception and the use of veterans is one 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.440 way to do this among several I've not 00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.200 been a part of any militia beforehand 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:27.480 but once they opened up and said that 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:28.919 they were doing all BLM and they you 00:30:28.919 --> 00:30:31.200 know I've seen my city on fire I I was 00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.960 just like I've had enough and so I you 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.080 know I reached out to my local militia 00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:37.760 and you know I've been with them ever 00:30:37.760 --> 00:30:41.000 since When You're vulnerable and you're 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.600 looking for family cuz that's what the 00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:46.640 people you serve with are they look like 00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.880 they could be family they look like they 00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.480 can provide you that sense of purpose 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:54.799 that mission that camaraderie that you 00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:55.840 had in the 00:30:55.840 --> 00:30:59.519 military that you became dependent on 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:03.799 that became the center of your identity 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.880 they could give that back to 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.919 you and when he tells you to fight you 00:31:10.919 --> 00:31:14.440 have no reason to question that because 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:16.240 he's giving you purpose and he's giving 00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.639 you 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:21.320 mission do you say the oathkeepers are 00:31:21.320 --> 00:31:23.639 preparing for potential violence on and 00:31:23.639 --> 00:31:26.039 around election dat yeah yeah we got our 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.279 people across the country um making 00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:30.039 plans that there's too many of us 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:31.639 there's too many veterans first of all 00:31:31.639 --> 00:31:33.519 too many freaking military veterans 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.360 that's one thing I'm not a big fan of 00:31:35.360 --> 00:31:37.880 the war on terror that did WR a lot of 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:39.679 our rights one thing it did give us is a 00:31:39.679 --> 00:31:42.159 massive pool huge pool of combat 00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:45.519 veterans and about 95% of them are on 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.240 the conservative side or on the side of 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:50.679 the Constitution yeah so it's not going 00:31:50.679 --> 00:31:53.279 to play out very 00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:55.639 [Applause] 00:31:55.639 --> 00:31:59.639 well and so when I look at January 6th 00:31:59.639 --> 00:32:01.760 of course there were people who did 00:32:01.760 --> 00:32:03.600 violence and climbed Gates and caused 00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:06.039 trouble but in my view they were likely 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.760 the foot soldiers they were the result 00:32:09.760 --> 00:32:12.559 of the efforts of other people there's 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:13.919 the man behind the curtain pushing 00:32:13.919 --> 00:32:15.440 everybody out you know these These are 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:16.840 the half-cock plans the guys who go 00:32:16.840 --> 00:32:18.440 early the people you really have to 00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:20.039 worry about are the people you don't 00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:21.880 even know exist until you're 2 years 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.320 into the conflict CU they're tactically 00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:26.919 patient and they're watching you oh my 00:32:26.919 --> 00:32:29.399 god and I still I'm absolutely stunned 00:32:29.399 --> 00:32:31.440 that people don't see how awful January 00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.480 6th was and what an indicator that is 00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:36.799 and how it's escalating and anybody who 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.559 says that this can't happen in a worse 00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:41.519 way either they're ignorant um or 00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:43.799 they're part of the problem overran the 00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.480 capital we're in the [ __ ] Capital bro 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.519 people shouldn't look at the 00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.320 Insurrection at the capital as an 00:32:51.320 --> 00:32:53.720 anomaly we should pay attention to the 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.880 pattern that got us there 00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:06.279 in the name of Jesus Christ we light 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.600 this cross and as light dispels Darkness 00:33:09.600 --> 00:33:12.240 so may his word and his example dispel 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:17.039 the Heathen from our midst amen 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.679 amen father son you will 00:33:23.679 --> 00:33:26.520 conquer white the Tre 00:33:26.520 --> 00:33:29.120 [Applause] 00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:33.279 power we will fight we will fight there 00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:35.399 is one American example of an 00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:36.960 extraordinarly successful terrorist 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.760 movement and that is of course the G 00:33:39.760 --> 00:33:43.159 Clan many people in the clan talked 00:33:43.159 --> 00:33:45.440 about their experience as a continuation 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.360 of warfare the first wave came after the 00:33:48.360 --> 00:33:50.360 Civil War and here we saw prominent 00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:52.760 veterans like Nathan Bedford Forest Who 00:33:52.760 --> 00:33:54.720 Rose to leadership of that 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:57.120 Clan and although it started as a 00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:59.559 veteran social organization it very 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.080 quickly pivoted to extr Legal violence 00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:04.240 targeted at African-Americans which 00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.840 included Night rings lynchings serial 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:11.040 rape serial murder all of these things 00:34:11.040 --> 00:34:14.119 were designed to create Terror in 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.239 African-American communities to control 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.679 labor pools to control local politics 00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:22.359 and to keep African-Americans from the 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.639 polls one of the main parts of the Jim 00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.440 Crow era was something that we would 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.199 think of today as election subversion 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.199 and we would see in States like Georgia 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.760 where they refuse to seat 33 State 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.560 legislatures we saw in States like 00:34:39.560 --> 00:34:41.960 Louisiana where they refused to seat a 00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:44.520 duly elected United States senator in 00:34:44.520 --> 00:34:47.399 North Carolina where they held a coup to 00:34:47.399 --> 00:34:49.199 overthrow black 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.239 leadership in 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:53.399 Wilmington and in Mississippi when 00:34:53.399 --> 00:34:55.839 winning elections by fraud and violence 00:34:55.839 --> 00:34:58.079 became increasingly difficult white 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.280 politicians turned to the state 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.040 constitution in 1890 Solomon Calhoun the 00:35:04.040 --> 00:35:06.599 convention's president gave delegates 00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.280 their marching orders we came here to 00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:12.040 exclude the Negro nothing short of this 00:35:12.040 --> 00:35:15.240 will answer the pole tax and literacy 00:35:15.240 --> 00:35:17.079 tests that were written into Mississippi 00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:19.560 Law were so effective at keeping blacks 00:35:19.560 --> 00:35:22.040 from voting that Calhoun's strategy 00:35:22.040 --> 00:35:24.640 became a model for the rest of the South 00:35:24.640 --> 00:35:27.119 staying in place for almost another 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.320 century the clan managed to keep 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.560 African-Americans from voting for 100 00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:35.200 years uh that is an astonishing 00:35:35.200 --> 00:35:37.240 political success and it happened 00:35:37.240 --> 00:35:39.000 because the clan was politically 00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.839 powerful really well connected largely 00:35:41.839 --> 00:35:44.000 in the Democratic party not just in the 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.720 South and was able to establish itself 00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:51.599 as a counterpower that would stop the 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.760 emergence of new voters whether those 00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:55.960 voters were blacks or indeed Catholics 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.560 who they didn't see as genuinely 00:35:58.560 --> 00:36:01.400 American the next and most politically 00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.599 effective wave of KKK activity came 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:07.440 after World War 00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.680 I the second clown that emerges after 00:36:14.680 --> 00:36:17.000 Birth of a Nation a movie that really 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.920 changes the perception of the clan that 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.280 wood Wilson as president screens in the 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.079 White House allows a new media Savvy 00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.160 extreme 00:36:28.160 --> 00:36:30.240 movement to 00:36:30.240 --> 00:36:32.960 emerge and this is when you really saw 00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.200 the group take off not just in the South 00:36:35.200 --> 00:36:37.240 but Nationwide this is the clan that 00:36:37.240 --> 00:36:39.560 reached a membership of some 4 million 00:36:39.560 --> 00:36:42.280 people and 10% of the state of Indiana 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.040 they were parading in public on the 00:36:44.040 --> 00:36:46.800 National Mall in Washington DC and the 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.720 founder of that organization had been a 00:36:48.720 --> 00:36:51.720 veteran of the Spanish American 00:36:51.720 --> 00:36:54.839 war it comes to head in 1924 the 00:36:54.839 --> 00:36:57.200 Democratic party has a convention a 00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:59.800 Madison Square Garden and the klex clan 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:02.119 decides that it's going to stop the 00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:03.960 Democratic Party from condemning Clan 00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.400 violence and they pretty much take over 00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:08.760 the party and make sure that it is 00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:11.440 running on their agenda now if you want 00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:13.040 the optimistic story four years later 00:37:13.040 --> 00:37:14.839 the Democratic party changes if you want 00:37:14.839 --> 00:37:17.400 the pessimistic story a major political 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:21.200 party gets co-opted and taken over by a 00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:23.200 violent insurrectionist terrorist 00:37:23.200 --> 00:37:25.680 movement the kkk's grip on the 00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:28.520 Democratic party soon ended but nearly 00:37:28.520 --> 00:37:31.359 100 years later attempts to subvert free 00:37:31.359 --> 00:37:35.079 and fair elections have not you rigged 00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:37.839 my [ __ ] election you [ __ ] piece of 00:37:37.839 --> 00:37:40.560

00:37:56.359 --> 00:37:57.920 of the worst types of threat that you 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.040 can imagine you and your family will be 00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:02.599 killed very slowly the death threats 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:04.800 came by text to Trisha raffensberger 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.040 wife of Georgia Secretary of State As 00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:08.960 Trump attacked him incessantly for 00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:10.440 standing by the election results in 00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.280 Georgia he's an enemy of the people 00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.599 intimidation is a form of voter 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.480 suppression and goes hand inand with 00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:20.160 with election subversion both in our 00:38:20.160 --> 00:38:22.079 history and today they're trying to rig 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:24.319 an election and we can't let that happen 00:38:24.319 --> 00:38:25.760 I hope you're all going to be pole 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:29.160 Watchers the entire pole watching 00:38:29.160 --> 00:38:30.880 program for the Trump campaign was 00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:33.440 called Army for Trump we need every 00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:37.319 able-bodied man woman to join army for 00:38:37.319 --> 00:38:40.200 Trump's election Security operation the 00:38:40.200 --> 00:38:42.000 underlying narrative the messages that 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.079 were pushed were one of we need to go 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:48.720 protect and stop fraud from uh coming 00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:51.000 into our elections it was a very 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.200 militaristic campaign to increase its 00:38:54.200 --> 00:38:56.560 operational effectiveness Trump's Army 00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:59.160 enlisted group group like true the vote 00:38:59.160 --> 00:39:01.520 which had many veterans within its ranks 00:39:01.520 --> 00:39:04.560 as a veteran we're sworn to support and 00:39:04.560 --> 00:39:06.400 defend the Constitution my brothers and 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.119 I were willing to shed our blood on the 00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.440 battlefield to protect the beliefs of 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:14.720 the Iraqi people so they can vote so I'm 00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:16.760 asking you as Americans to take 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:18.440 involvement in this vote and the idea 00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:21.040 that military service entitles you to 00:39:21.040 --> 00:39:23.079 talk about protecting the Constitution 00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:25.280 is a real problem because it gives a 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:27.000 level of justification these groups do 00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.119 not deserve have not earned if you have 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.440 any information about ballot harvesting 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.680 in your state go to true the vote it's 00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:37.119 called trueth vote.org and I sure I'm 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:38.800 sure a lot of people in this audience 00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.000 saw plenty if there's always this 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.520 underlying belief that people are trying 00:39:43.520 --> 00:39:46.680 to game this system in an unfair way 00:39:46.680 --> 00:39:48.880 then regardless of the intent of the 00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:50.720 people that are are are brought into 00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:53.440 that system that default will always be 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:56.160 there to to police that vote and we know 00:39:56.160 --> 00:39:57.359 that that's going to have a dis 00:39:57.359 --> 00:39:59.520 proportionate impact on communities of 00:39:59.520 --> 00:40:01.960 color we're trying to build an army here 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.400 that will have the confidence and and en 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.319 courage to come down in here in these 00:40:07.319 --> 00:40:11.040 areas where we really need um po workers 00:40:11.040 --> 00:40:13.560 this is where the fraud is occurring you 00:40:13.560 --> 00:40:14.839 know those areas that he was pointing 00:40:14.839 --> 00:40:17.520 out there are no allegations of any sort 00:40:17.520 --> 00:40:19.920 of voter fraud or Shenanigans taking 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:23.000 place there in 2020 at all the only 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.640 thing that's known is that black and 00:40:24.640 --> 00:40:28.599 brown people vote heavily in those areas 00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:30.240 Harris County like the rest of the 00:40:30.240 --> 00:40:32.520 United States has seen its percentage of 00:40:32.520 --> 00:40:35.760 white residents decrease dramatically 50 00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.280 years ago white Americans made up more 00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.119 than 80% of the US population by 00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.720 2044 they will be in the minority the 00:40:45.720 --> 00:40:48.480 demographic change of the United States 00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.079 away from being a white majority country 00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:53.079 towards a multi-racial nation and a 00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:55.520 multicultural nation is what moves it 00:40:55.520 --> 00:40:58.319 from Simply aha my Community is becoming 00:40:58.319 --> 00:41:00.480 multi-racial and our politics will 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:03.160 change because of this to we have to 00:41:03.160 --> 00:41:06.200 stop this because if people can vote and 00:41:06.200 --> 00:41:09.079 exercise their rights the white majority 00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:10.720 will be 00:41:10.720 --> 00:41:14.240 imperiled and everywhere I turn I have 00:41:14.240 --> 00:41:17.240 been hearing from my constituents they 00:41:17.240 --> 00:41:21.040 are deeply worried they know their 00:41:21.040 --> 00:41:24.119 history they are witnessing what is 00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:27.560 happening to our democracy in real time 00:41:27.560 -->

00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:38.480 limited access to The Ballot Box but 00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:41.240 what is even more disconcerting is that 00:41:41.240 --> 00:41:43.640 these politicians in the state 00:41:43.640 --> 00:41:46.359 legislature have already laid the tracks 00:41:46.359 --> 00:41:50.319 to take over local Boards of Elections 00:41:50.319 --> 00:41:53.440 control the count we can get to the same 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:56.520 place through bureaucratic violence as 00:41:56.520 --> 00:41:59.079 some would say as we can get to through 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.560 actual violence and intimidation and 00:42:02.560 --> 00:42:05.119 when you marry those two then you are in 00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:08.599 a unique era of suppression and 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:11.170 anti-democratic

00:46:35.520 it goes against all of our values they 00:46:35.520 --> 00:46:38.280 don't live by those values and you went 00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:39.880 from high school to the Marines yeah the 00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:41.319 good the great thing about the Marine 00:46:41.319 --> 00:46:43.599 Corps is that they really force you to 00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:45.280 shape up I I like to describe it as a 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.720 four-year character education because 00:46:47.720 --> 00:46:49.680 they teach you not just you know how to 00:46:49.680 --> 00:46:51.200 iron a uniform but they teach you about 00:46:51.200 --> 00:46:52.480 financial management they teach you how 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.480 to make your bed they teach you a lot of 00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:56.440 the skill sets that you need to be a 00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:59.400 successful adult JD Vance is a former 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.160 Marine like Stuart rhods he graduated 00:47:02.160 --> 00:47:05.200 from Yale law school and like Eric gron 00:47:05.200 --> 00:47:07.160 he's a best-selling author who was once 00:47:07.160 --> 00:47:09.559 a darling of the New York Times are 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.440 there commonalities between poor whites 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.000 poor blacks poor Latinos absolutely 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:16.920 there are things that are shared across 00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:18.960 across different groups and I think that 00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:20.680 we should take some inspiration for it 00:47:20.680 --> 00:47:22.960 from it some recognition that that we 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:26.040 are sort of in this together in 2016 he 00:47:26.040 --> 00:47:28.280 called Donald Trump an idiot I'm a never 00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.599 Trump guy I never liked him and 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:32.319 suggested that he could be an American 00:47:32.319 --> 00:47:34.880 Hitler but four years later he changed 00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:37.160 his tune when he launched his campaign 00:47:37.160 --> 00:47:39.599 for Ohio senate seat I wasn't always 00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:41.960 nice but the simple fact is he's the 00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:44.359 best president of my lifetime and he 00:47:44.359 --> 00:47:46.640 revealed the corruption in this country 00:47:46.640 --> 00:47:49.240 like nobody else JD Vance a few years 00:47:49.240 --> 00:47:51.720 ago I think a lot of people across 00:47:51.720 --> 00:47:53.599 political Spectrum had a lot of respect 00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.119 for him but now we see him pretending to 00:47:56.119 --> 00:47:59.839 be an idiot are you a racist do you hate 00:47:59.839 --> 00:48:01.599 Mexicans I think it's ridiculous that 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:04.319 we're focused on this Border in Ukraine 00:48:04.319 --> 00:48:05.720 uh I don't I got to be honest with you I 00:48:05.720 --> 00:48:07.079 don't really care what happens to 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:08.720 Ukraine one way or another a guy like 00:48:08.720 --> 00:48:10.960 Eric gon or a guy like JD Vance they 00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.040 didn't internalize any of the morals 00:48:15.040 --> 00:48:16.920 that are supposed to be instilled in US 00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:19.440 during our training things like Valor 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:24.599 and honor and respect 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:28.680 striking fear in the hearts of liberals 00:48:28.680 --> 00:48:30.559 everywhere 00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:33.920 folks they understand when they're lying 00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:36.680 they understand when they're fueling 00:48:36.680 --> 00:48:39.119 hatred I say it all the time right I 00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:40.599 think the election was stolen from Trump 00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:42.359 and technology companies would not let 00:48:42.359 --> 00:48:44.280 us talk about the fact that Joe Biden is 00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:45.960 is the leader of the world's biggest 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:48.559 crime family and they recognize that 00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:50.440 they need to do it in order to achieve 00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:52.200 power part of the problem for the young 00:48:52.200 --> 00:48:53.640 veteran too is that some of these 00:48:53.640 --> 00:48:56.079 manipulative voices are former high 00:48:56.079 --> 00:49:00.190 ranking military leaders General Michael 00:49:00.190 --> 00:49:01.920 [Applause] 00:49:01.920

00:50:41.200 --> 00:50:43.799 position Decades of experience in 00:50:43.799 --> 00:50:45.240 Military 00:50:45.240 --> 00:50:47.720 Intelligence his knowledge of the 21st 00:50:47.720 --> 00:50:50.599 century Battlefield is 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:53.040 unsurpassed but 3 years later the 00:50:53.040 --> 00:50:55.720 one-time Democrat had become an avid 00:50:55.720 --> 00:50:57.599

interactions with Russia 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:17.079 the evolving and eroding level of trust 00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:19.280 as a result of this situation is what 00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:21.599 led the president to ask for General 00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:22.760 Flynn's 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:25.280 resignation and general Flynn would soon 00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.119 enter a plea deal with the FBI his 00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.400 prison sentence was under review when 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:34.079 Trump pardoned him in December 2020 less 00:51:34.079 --> 00:51:37.160 than a month before leaving

military I was a 00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:27.720 hardcore Republican was libertarian like 00:56:27.720 --> 00:56:29.160 a lot of people in the 00:56:29.160 --> 00:56:31.599 military I was looking at like I can't 00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:33.520 even call them documentaries but these 00:56:33.520 --> 00:56:38.039 YouTube videos like uh this movie 00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:41.440 Zeitgeist you had better wake up and 00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:43.240 understand that there are people who are 00:56:43.240 --> 00:56:45.280 guiding your life and you don't even 00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:47.799 know it now that I study extremism I 00:56:47.799 --> 00:56:51.599 recognize it's filled with anti-semitic 00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:54.039 tropes the theme of the movie without 00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:56.039 explicitly saying it is that Jewish 00:56:56.039 --> 00:56:57.520 people people were out there controlling 00:56:57.520 --> 00:56:58.960 the banks and the banks are the reasons 00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:00.680 why

couldn't put words 00:57:46.720 --> 00:57:49.200 to for so long that I was the victim not 00:57:49.200 --> 00:57:53.160 just of circumstance but of some sort of 00:57:53.160 --> 00:57:56.160 Nefarious group of powerful individuals 00:57:56.160 --> 00:57:59.000 ual who were manipulating all of us and 00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:01.559 and that everyone was just acting as 00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:03.640

back then and the 00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:24.520 second these groups have always operated 00:59:24.520 --> 00:59:27.160 on a Playbook of using prevailing social 00:59:27.160 --> 00:59:32.319 context to mobilize people recruit and 00:59:34.760 --> 00:59:37.680 radicalize the 20s Clan was anti-black 00:59:37.680 --> 00:59:40.000 and anti-jewish but it was also 00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:42.440 anti-mexican near the border anti- labor 00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:44.640 in the Pacific Northwest anti-immigrant 00:59:44.640 --> 00:59:46.039 in the Northeast where there were a lot 00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:48.280 of immigrants what it did was figure out 00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:50.119 what the prevailing social tensions were 00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:53.160 in a given community and use those to 00:59:53.160 --> 00:59:57.400 recruit people for its own purposes 00:59:57.559 --> 00:59:59.520 the prevailing feeling among a host of 00:59:59.520 --> 01:00:02.000 veterans returning from Vietnam was that 01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:04.480 they had been stabbed in the back by an 01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:08.720 ungrateful Society their own feckless 01:00:08.720 --> 01:00:11.400 government and the media Elite well it 01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:13.599 seems now more certain than ever that 01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:16.119 the bloody experience of Vietnam is to 01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:18.480 end in a stalemate it made them ripe 01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.200 recruits for a new conspiracy fueled 01:00:21.200 --> 01:00:24.079 wave of violent extremism aimed at 01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:26.799 rooting out the Enemy Within the Cubans 01:00:26.799 --> 01:00:28.920 are coming in by the thousands the 01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:31.480 Mexicans are coming in by the millions 01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:34.480 the the Haans are coming in from haia or 01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:36.400 wherever the that little [ __ ] country 01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:38.319 is coming in by the hundreds of 01:00:38.319 --> 01:00:40.319 thousands white people have had enough 01:00:40.319 --> 01:00:42.119 they can no longer even afford to buy 01:00:42.119 --> 01:00:45.119 proper housing for themselves yet our 01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:46.920 government would have us spend thousands 01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:49.319 and thousands of millions of dollars on 01:00:49.319 --> 01:00:51.720 non whites they've had enough one of the 01:00:51.720 --> 01:00:53.599 key figures in the white power movement 01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:55.280 after the Vietnam War and one of the 01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:57.680 architects of its move to sell style 01:00:57.680 --> 01:00:59.760 terrorism to using the earling internet 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:01.880 and to a number of other major changes 01:01:01.880 --> 01:01:04.640 that fueled its rise is a veteran named 01:01:04.640 --> 01:01:06.960 LS beam the only thing that's it 01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:09.640 imported tonight is Will America be 01:01:09.640 --> 01:01:13.319 white 100 years from tonight and if so 01:01:13.319 --> 01:01:15.480 will you commit yourself to the battle 01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:18.720 to make it so Lewis beam served two 01:01:18.720 --> 01:01:21.160 tours in Vietnam as a helicopter Gunner 01:01:21.160 --> 01:01:23.880 and came home in 1968 with multiple 01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:26.640 medals for bravery in combat says that I 01:01:26.640 --> 01:01:28.920 use great professional skill and courage 01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:31.680 in the face of great personal danger 01:01:31.680 --> 01:01:34.480 that hasn't changed at all in my opinion 01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:37.880 presently I'm having to use utmost skill 01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:41.039 and I think it does take courage to to 01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:43.400 do what I'm doing and I'm doing it in 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:45.960 the face of the enemy that's time the 01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:49.559 enemy goes under a different name beam 01:01:49.559 --> 01:01:51.960 took the skills he honed in the military 01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:54.480 and brought them to the KKK where he 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.920 rose to Grand Dragon of the Texas 01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:58.559 Knights I had been paid by the 01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:01.520 government $300 a month to fight and 01:02:01.520 --> 01:02:03.880 kill companies to execute them whatever 01:02:03.880 --> 01:02:05.400 term you want to 01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:08.960 use uh in Vietnam and what is the 01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:11.440 difference between Vietnam and Houston 01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:13.690 Texas but a few thousand 01:02:13.690 --> 01:02:17.279 [Applause] 01:02:17.279 --> 01:02:20.480 miles one of the reasons that beam Rose 01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:22.880 so quickly in these organizations is 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:24.799 that he told a story about Warfare and 01:02:24.799 --> 01:02:26.960 Trauma that a lot of their people were 01:02:26.960 --> 01:02:29.160 mobilized by including people who didn't 01:02:29.160 --> 01:02:34.240 serve I saw a young man about 19 years 01:02:34.240 --> 01:02:37.920 old ENT traed in a armored personnel 01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:39.000 carrier 01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:42.960 in about 22 Mi Northeast of s 01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:45.640 gun with his legs pinned beneath the 01:02:45.640 --> 01:02:49.200 seat as a result of a a rocket propell 01:02:49.200 --> 01:02:52.839 grenade and he stayed on the 01:02:52.839 --> 01:02:57.760 radio kep asking for help 01:02:57.760 --> 01:02:59.240 asking us 01:02:59.240 --> 01:03:02.760 to come get 01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.920 him so his argument was about the 01:03:06.920 --> 01:03:09.640 wrongness of war the horror of seeing 01:03:09.640 --> 01:03:11.359 casualties in the field the horror of 01:03:11.359 --> 01:03:13.839 losing your fellow soldiers but his 01:03:13.839 --> 01:03:17.160 pivot was this is why we should come 01:03:17.160 --> 01:03:19.200 back to the United States and bring that 01:03:19.200 --> 01:03:21.880 violence home to everybody who left us 01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:24.279 there our mission is a reconnaissance 01:03:24.279 --> 01:03:28.640 Patrol we have information that the 01:03:28.640 --> 01:03:32.720 enemy is in the 01:03:33.920 --> 01:03:37.000 area the Jews have assumed leadership of 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:38.640 the federal government they totally 01:03:38.640 --> 01:03:40.359 control it and they're controlling us 01:03:40.359 --> 01:03:42.640 thly the government that's in Washington 01:03:42.640 --> 01:03:44.880 DC today does not represent the interest 01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:47.079 of the white people therefore we will 01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:49.119 replace them with people who will 01:03:49.119 --> 01:03:51.720 represent the ideals of white Wester 01:03:51.720 --> 01:03:53.160 Christian 01:03:53.160 --> 01:03:55.359 civilization how are we going to replace 01:03:55.359 --> 01:03:58.200 them by any means necessary we want the 01:03:58.200 --> 01:04:01.200 heads of the enemies in our toe sacks in 01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:02.839 Vietnam they took ears we're going to 01:04:02.839 --> 01:04:04.160 take 01:04:04.160 --> 01:04:06.920 heads beam's rhetoric and Military 01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:09.440 exercises eventually got the attention 01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:13.640 of the FBI and in 1983 he left Texas for 01:04:13.640 --> 01:04:17.319 Hayden Lake Idaho a Haven for white 01:04:17.319 --> 01:04:19.760 supremacists he joined forces with Aryan 01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:22.559 Nations and began to command a cell 01:04:22.559 --> 01:04:25.000 style terrorist movement of white power 01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:27.720 activists the idea was that one or a few 01:04:27.720 --> 01:04:29.400 white power activists could work 01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:31.720 together towards a commonly held set of 01:04:31.720 --> 01:04:33.760 goals and targets but without 01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:35.559 prosecutable ties between them and 01:04:35.559 --> 01:04:38.160 without direct ties to movement 01:04:38.160 --> 01:04:41.039 leadership but there was a problem the 01:04:41.039 --> 01:04:42.880 cells which were spread across the 01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.400 country and into Canada still needed to 01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:47.760 communicate with each other and even 01:04:47.760 --> 01:04:50.000 when the FBI wasn't listening on their 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.520 phones beam wanted to do more than talk 01:04:53.520 --> 01:04:56.920 he wanted to share ideas and create 01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.160 networks so they created a social 01:05:00.160 --> 01:05:02.640 network called Liberty net and one of 01:05:02.640 --> 01:05:05.480 the first postings was titled online for 01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:06.610 God and 01:05:06.610 --> 01:05:09.240 [Music] 01:05:09.240 --> 01:05:12.200 Country and then Louis beam traveled 01:05:12.200 --> 01:05:14.680 around the country teaching people how 01:05:14.680 --> 01:05:17.279 to go online these message boards 01:05:17.279 --> 01:05:19.559 included assassination lists and 01:05:19.559 --> 01:05:22.200 ideological content and who you should 01:05:22.200 --> 01:05:24.319 hate and why but they also included 01:05:24.319 --> 01:05:27.760 social network content like personal 01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:32.200 ads and this was in 1984 885 way before 01:05:32.200 --> 01:05:34.400 most people think about farri online 01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:37.319 activism decades before Facebook can't 01:05:37.319 --> 01:05:40.319 beat the with this day using this early 01:05:40.319 --> 01:05:43.920 form of the internet clansmen skinheads 01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:46.680 neo-nazis and other extremist groups 01:05:46.680 --> 01:05:48.720 banded together to commit a series of 01:05:48.720 --> 01:05:51.680 heinous robberies bombings and murders 01:05:51.680 --> 01:05:53.640 across the country and since we're all 01:05:53.640 --> 01:05:55.880 racists since we're all the radical 01:05:55.880 --> 01:05:58.440 right and that's a crime in America when 01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:01.359 you have to do the time don't regret the 01:06:01.359 --> 01:06:03.599 crime we'll be at the Forefront of the 01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.599 fight doing what uh hopefully uh 01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:09.520 smashing the uh skulls of Communists or 01:06:09.520 --> 01:06:12.119 uh executing race Traders or uh shooting 01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.760 on site anybody we don't think is white 01:06:14.760 --> 01:06:16.440 we have to get our government back 01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:17.880 that's what it's all about all these 01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:20.279 so-called subversive groups are nothing 01:06:20.279 --> 01:06:23.000 but patriotic citizens trying to do just 01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:26.200 that by 1985 the department of Justice 01:06:26.200 --> 01:06:28.319 came to believe that the network of 01:06:28.319 --> 01:06:31.039 white power cells Behind These crimes 01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:33.760 represented a serious threat to National 01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:36.520 Security Lewis beam has been charged 01:06:36.520 --> 01:06:39.760 with seditious conspiracy along with 13 01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:40.720 other 01:06:40.720 --> 01:06:43.000 individuals Mr Bean did you plan to 01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:45.520 overthrow the government what else is a 01:06:45.520 --> 01:06:47.440 country boy going to do on Saturday 01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:50.240 night when the only drug store in Town's 01:06:50.240 --> 01:06:53.279 closed but the trial was a disaster for 01:06:53.279 --> 01:06:55.640 the government a stunning verdict is 01:06:55.640 --> 01:06:57.640 afternoon in the trial of 13 white 01:06:57.640 --> 01:07:00.279 supremacists among charges they faced 01:07:00.279 --> 01:07:02.079 conspiracy to overthrow the government 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:04.000 of the United States the verdicts from 01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:05.880 the all-white jury came on the fourth 01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:08.240 day of deliberations beam and his 01:07:08.240 --> 01:07:10.400 codefendants were acquitted on all 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:13.039 charges the humiliating outcome led the 01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:15.559 doj to focus their attention on 01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:18.079 individual criminals and abandon 01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:19.839 investigations of the white power 01:07:19.839 --> 01:07:23.039 movement as a domestic terrorist threat 01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:25.079 the catastrophic Legacy of leaderless 01:07:25.079 --> 01:07:26.200 resistance 01:07:26.200 --> 01:07:29.000 has been that we as a public have lost 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.400 sight of this Movement we don't have any 01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:33.359 domestic terrorism legislation we don't 01:07:33.359 --> 01:07:36.000 have domestic terrorism laws for example 01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:39.000 the number one tool um FBI agents and 01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:41.839 prosecutors use to disrupt terrorist 01:07:41.839 --> 01:07:46.000 attacks in the United States is material 01:07:47.240 --> 01:07:50.079 support material support is basically a 01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:52.960 charge to levy on individuals who are 01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:55.480 helping a terrorist organization or a 01:07:55.480 --> 01:07:58.000 ENT organization unfortunately we don't 01:07:58.000 --> 01:07:59.640 have that when it comes to domestic 01:07:59.640 --> 01:08:02.079 terrorist 01:08:02.319 --> 01:08:04.440 organizations the problem with this 01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:06.960 situation is when you don't have 01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:09.319 domestic terrorism laws you need an act 01:08:09.319 --> 01:08:12.160 to happen you need a hot body in order 01:08:12.160 --> 01:08:14.599 to start an investigation and usually 01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:16.839 you can charge that individual with hate 01:08:16.839 --> 01:08:19.040 a crime or with other charges but you 01:08:19.040 --> 01:08:20.799 cannot charge them with terrorism you 01:08:20.799 --> 01:08:24.439 cannot go after the whole network holy 01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:26.679 cow about a third of the building has 01:08:26.679 --> 01:08:30.839 been blown away is just 01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:34.839 devastating get back get back a massive 01:08:34.839 --> 01:08:36.759 Car Bomb exploded outside of a large 01:08:36.759 --> 01:08:38.679 Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma 01:08:38.679 --> 01:08:41.080 City shattering that building Killing 01:08:41.080 --> 01:08:43.399 Children Killing federal employees 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:46.640 military men and civilians even Timothy 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:49.799 McVey he blew up a whole Federal 01:08:49.799 --> 01:08:52.479 Building and prosecutors could not 01:08:52.479 --> 01:08:57.920 charge him or his associates with 01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.399 terrorism the bombing of Oklahoma City 01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:03.399 in 1995 was the largest deliberate mass 01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:05.679 casualty event on American soil between 01:09:05.679 --> 01:09:08.880 Pearl Harbor and 911 but most people 01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:10.799 still don't understand what that event 01:09:10.799 --> 01:09:13.080 was and what it meant the indictment 01:09:13.080 --> 01:09:15.000 charges that Timothy McVey and Terry 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:16.880 Nichols former Army buddies with a 01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:18.560 grudge against the government planned 01:09:18.560 --> 01:09:21.000 the bombing selected McVey and Nichols 01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:22.880 met each other through their service 01:09:22.880 --> 01:09:24.439 they trained together at Fort Riley 01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:27.799 Kansas before McVey deployed to the gulf 01:09:27.799 --> 01:09:29.960 as part of Big Red One infantry unit in 01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:32.799 Iraq there he seems to have experienced 01:09:32.799 --> 01:09:35.120 some amount of traumatic combat before 01:09:35.120 --> 01:09:37.198 their return 01:09:37.198 --> 01:09:39.600 home after washing out his special 01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:43.120 forces he was really angry and we see at 01:09:43.120 --> 01:09:45.520 that moment his deepening involvement in 01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:47.180 radical white power 01:09:47.180 --> 01:09:49.238 [Music] 01:09:49.238 --> 01:09:52.439 activity ranging from mcvey's connection 01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:54.840 to the Michigan militia the federal 01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:56.840 government itself is the child of the 01:09:56.840 --> 01:09:59.159 armed citizen we the people are the 01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:01.280 parent of the child we call government 01:10:01.280 --> 01:10:02.800 in short the federal government needs a 01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:04.880 good spanking to make it behave his 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:06.640 contact and attempted contact with 01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:08.480 groups like the Arizona Patriots and the 01:10:08.480 --> 01:10:11.600 National Alliance and his written belief 01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:13.400 in white power principles that were 01:10:13.400 --> 01:10:16.040 published in his hometown newspaper 01:10:16.040 --> 01:10:18.960 McVey used his military training to help 01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:21.400 carry out the Oklahoma City bombing and 01:10:21.400 --> 01:10:24.040 in a letter to a friend he invoked his 01:10:24.040 --> 01:10:26.840 military oath to to justify it I have 01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:29.040 sworn to uphold and defend the 01:10:29.040 --> 01:10:32.040 Constitution against all enemies foreign 01:10:32.040 --> 01:10:35.040 and domestic and I will blood will flow 01:10:35.040 --> 01:10:38.520 in the streets good versus evil free men 01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:41.600 versus socialist wannabe slaves pray 01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:44.280 it's not your blood my friend the other 01:10:44.280 --> 01:10:46.800 key component here was his use of the 01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:49.560 Turner Diaries at gun shows Timothy 01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:51.400 McVey would hand out copies of the 01:10:51.400 --> 01:10:54.080 Turner Diaries a dystopian novel that 01:10:54.080 --> 01:10:56.679 details how to top the US government the 01:10:56.679 --> 01:10:58.760 fictional revolutionaries start by 01:10:58.760 --> 01:11:01.080 blowing up a federal building and then 01:11:01.080 --> 01:11:03.280 proceed to exterminate their political 01:11:03.280 --> 01:11:06.679 enemies including all Jews blacks and 01:11:06.679 --> 01:11:09.120 Latinos the Turner Diaries became 01:11:09.120 --> 01:11:10.960 enormously important to this movement 01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:13.040 not because it's a good book but because 01:11:13.040 --> 01:11:15.440 it provides the imaginative answer to a 01:11:15.440 --> 01:11:17.679 really important question which is how 01:11:17.679 --> 01:11:20.719 can a tiny group of people a small 01:11:20.719 --> 01:11:22.800 Fringe movement do what they're setting 01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:24.640 out to do in this period which is to 01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:26.280 overthrow the most militarized 01:11:26.280 --> 01:11:29.960 superstate in world history in 1997 01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:33.400 McVey was convicted of murdering 168 01:11:33.400 --> 01:11:35.600 people using a weapon of mass 01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:37.840 destruction and blowing up a federal 01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:40.719 building no domestic terrorism charges 01:11:40.719 --> 01:11:42.800 were brought however because he and 01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:44.679 Nicholls were thought to have acted 01:11:44.679 --> 01:11:48.239 alone just imagine if Timothy mcvey's 01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:50.719 name was Muhammad we will look at that 01:11:50.719 --> 01:11:53.360 terrorism threat in a very different 01:11:53.360 --> 01:11:56.000 length first of all we will look at it 01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:58.360 as a terrorist threat we will go after 01:11:58.360 --> 01:12:01.040 McVey we will go after all the people 01:12:01.040 --> 01:12:02.880 who are helping him or who are assisting 01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:06.080 him we will keep the investigation going 01:12:06.080 --> 01:12:08.719 in order to get the whole network and 01:12:08.719 --> 01:12:11.760 when you are very limited with the tools 01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:14.120 uh you are using these groups will take 01:12:14.120 --> 01:12:15.719 benefits from it these are not lone 01:12:15.719 --> 01:12:17.400 wolves these are people who are united 01:12:17.400 --> 01:12:20.639 by ideology by social ties by selection 01:12:20.639 --> 01:12:22.560 of targets these are all part of the 01:12:22.560 --> 01:12:24.199 same movement and this is really what 01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:26.280 we're seeing continuing into our present 01:12:26.280 --> 01:12:28.480 day 01:12:30.280 --> 01:12:33.000 moment tonight the plot to kidnap a 01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:35.240 governor foiled by the 01:12:35.240 --> 01:12:36.760 [Music] 01:12:36.760 --> 01:12:40.360 FBI in October 2020 less than a month 01:12:40.360 --> 01:12:43.199 before the presidential election 14 men 01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:45.360 were arrested in a plot to kidnap 01:12:45.360 --> 01:12:48.040 Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer their 01:12:48.040 --> 01:12:50.120 plans included storming the state 01:12:50.120 --> 01:12:53.480 capital using zip ties to take hostages 01:12:53.480 --> 01:12:55.639 and conducting a trial that would result 01:12:55.639 --> 01:12:58.320 in a public hanging of the governor the 01:12:58.320 --> 01:13:00.040 suspects were all members of The 01:13:00.040 --> 01:13:02.800 Wolverine Watchman a paramilitary group 01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:05.360 commanded by a former Marine that had 01:13:05.360 --> 01:13:08.280 ties to the Michigan militia prosecutors 01:13:08.280 --> 01:13:10.719 contend that they wanted to kidnap her 01:13:10.719 --> 01:13:13.120 to try to ignite another American Civil 01:13:13.120 --> 01:13:15.560 War before the 2020 election in hopes of 01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:17.360 disrupting it and perhaps keeping Joe 01:13:17.360 --> 01:13:18.960 Biden from becoming president but 01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:21.400 Federal prosecutors could not charge any 01:13:21.400 --> 01:13:23.400 of the conspirators with material 01:13:23.400 --> 01:13:25.120 support and despite having amount 01:13:25.120 --> 01:13:26.880 mountain of evidence laid out against 01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:28.800 them at trial the group's leader Adam 01:13:28.800 --> 01:13:30.560 Fox telling the informant he was 01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:32.280 inspired by Oklahoma City Bombing 01:13:32.280 --> 01:13:34.520 terrorist Timothy McVey telling the 01:13:34.520 --> 01:13:36.960 informant if we can't have our world 01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:39.679 they can't have theirs Burning It Down 01:13:39.679 --> 01:13:42.080 Like Lewis beam before them if we can't 01:13:42.080 --> 01:13:44.040 have this country nobody gets it that 01:13:44.040 --> 01:13:46.600 clear we'll be total ashes everywhere 01:13:46.600 --> 01:13:49.120 none of the defendants were convicted on 01:13:49.120 --> 01:13:51.440 federal charges the goals of this 01:13:51.440 --> 01:13:54.560 Insurgency in Michigan were to take over 01:13:54.560 --> 01:13:56.760 the state house and then to kidnap and 01:13:56.760 --> 01:13:58.600 execute the governor the goal of the 01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:00.520 Insurgency on January 6 was to overturn 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:02.800 the results of a democratic election so 01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:05.960 if we see this as part of a movement 01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:08.840 it's to stop the American people being 01:14:08.840 --> 01:14:10.400 able to choose their own leaders an 01:14:10.400 --> 01:14:12.760 Insurgency is all about seizing control 01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:14.560 of a government not through winning an 01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:16.080 election not through Democratic 01:14:16.080 --> 01:14:17.639 processes not through persuasion but 01:14:17.639 --> 01:14:20.480 through violence it's an it's a form of 01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:25.520 War USA USA USA 01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:26.920 coward 01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:30.199 tra if you look at January 6th what 01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:32.960 we're looking at is really the Collision 01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:35.600 of three different streams of Activity 01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:37.199 one is the organized white power 01:14:37.199 --> 01:14:39.840 movement that is coming off of decades 01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:41.840 if not generations of organizing 01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:44.080 Armament training and ideological 01:14:44.080 --> 01:14:45.560 content they want to know what the 01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:48.159 orange has stand for [ __ ] proud boy 01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:50.679 another is kinon which is newer more 01:14:50.679 --> 01:14:53.239 radical works very fast where we go one 01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:55.600 we go all and the final one the biggest 01:14:55.600 --> 01:15:02.840 one is simply the Trump Bas TR Trum Trum 01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:05.360 Trum it's clear to me that what you had 01:15:05.360 --> 01:15:07.600 was a concerted effort by a number of 01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:09.920 different organizers do you want your 01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:14.120 house back take it to take these various 01:15:14.120 --> 01:15:16.920 groups together and focus their energies 01:15:16.920 --> 01:15:21.480 into create a critical mass and that's 01:15:21.480 --> 01:15:25.480 not new 01:15:37.280 --> 01:15:41.639 in Iraq when al-Qaeda in Iraq emerged it 01:15:41.639 --> 01:15:43.840 really came led by a guy named Abu 01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:46.320 musaba zwi he traveled around the 01:15:46.320 --> 01:15:49.760 country had a Charisma to him and he 01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:53.480 portrayed this hey I'm not your normal 01:15:53.480 --> 01:15:56.400 political leader we are going to show 01:15:56.400 --> 01:15:59.080 the kind of commitment that real men 01:15:59.080 --> 01:15:59.880 would 01:15:59.880 --> 01:16:03.400 do and al-Qaeda in Iraq which was very 01:16:03.400 --> 01:16:05.560 extreme ideologically started to be 01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:07.360 joined by people who weren't natural 01:16:07.360 --> 01:16:09.960 bedfellows people go finally someone 01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:13.000 who's not going to put up with the crap 01:16:13.000 --> 01:16:15.679 someone who's going to take the law into 01:16:15.679 --> 01:16:18.440 their own hands and going to get us what 01:16:18.440 --> 01:16:21.199 we deserve because we have been 01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:25.800 exploited by the elites of the region 01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:28.800 I think Abu masab Bazar kawi and Donald 01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:32.120 Trump both understand that you can 01:16:32.120 --> 01:16:34.960 inflame those passions it is where the 01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:38.600 leader takes those frustrations that 01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:42.360 becomes potentially disastrous grievance 01:16:42.360 --> 01:16:44.280 narratives are made up they're 01:16:44.280 --> 01:16:47.560 constructed narratives but they are used 01:16:47.560 --> 01:16:49.600 by demagogues because they work and if 01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:51.600 you have a political party that is 01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:53.560 organized around grievance around a 01:16:53.560 --> 01:16:56.120 sense of loss and a sense of threat you 01:16:56.120 --> 01:16:58.000 have the basis for the ideology that 01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:00.040 will promote violence we gathered 01:17:00.040 --> 01:17:01.840 together at the heart of our nation's 01:17:01.840 --> 01:17:05.320 capital for one very very basic and 01:17:05.320 --> 01:17:09.560 simple reason to save our democracy 01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:13.560 we're going to walk down to the 01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:17.520 capital and we're going to cheer on our 01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:21.800 brave senators and congressmen and women 01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:23.080 and we're probably not going to be 01:17:23.080 --> 01:17:27.040 cheering so much for some of 01:17:27.040 --> 01:17:30.520 them because you'll never take back our 01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:32.960 country with weakness you have to show 01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:34.930 strength and you have to be 01:17:34.930 --> 01:17:37.679 [Applause] 01:17:37.679 --> 01:17:41.960 strong DC is a [ __ ] war 01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:44.400 zone this what 01:17:44.400 --> 01:17:47.320 we the siege of the capital on January 01:17:47.320 --> 01:17:49.520 6th did not overturn the results of the 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:52.880 2020 election but that's not the only 01:17:52.880 --> 01:17:55.280 measure by which the actions of that day 01:17:55.280 --> 01:17:57.840 are being judged there's footage of 01:17:57.840 --> 01:17:59.679 proud boys directing journalists to read 01:17:59.679 --> 01:18:01.080 the Turner 01:18:01.080 --> 01:18:04.679 Diaries Read The Turner 01:18:06.280 --> 01:18:09.080 Diaries on January 6th the Turner 01:18:09.080 --> 01:18:11.280 Diaries was structuring a lot of sort of 01:18:11.280 --> 01:18:14.239 the imaginative performative action of 01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:16.159 that day the news hung outside the 01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:18.440 capital refers to events in the Turner 01:18:18.440 --> 01:18:20.199 Diaries called The Day of the Rope which 01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:23.080 is the hanging of race Traders which 01:18:23.080 --> 01:18:25.520 include politicians 01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:27.440 [Applause] 01:18:27.440 --> 01:18:29.520 [Music] 01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:32.480 my and significantly there is a strike 01:18:32.480 --> 01:18:34.880 on the capital that is not supposed to 01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:36.960 be a mass casualty attack in the Turner 01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:38.840 Diaries it's a mortar attack it's meant 01:18:38.840 --> 01:18:41.480 to be simply the selected killing of a 01:18:41.480 --> 01:18:44.159 few corrupt legislators in order to show 01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.159 other white people that extremists can 01:18:47.159 --> 01:18:49.719 strike at the heart of American power 01:18:49.719 --> 01:18:51.159 yeah 01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:55.239 yeah yeah we

sitting 01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:06.880 in and by that measure I think that they 01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:09.679 succeeded Donald Trump tweeted out a 01:19:09.679 --> 01:19:14.080 video he said we did a good [ __ ] 01:19:14.080 --> 01:19:17.080 job January 6 was a huge success for 01:19:17.080 --> 01:19:21.159 them January 6 inspired so many people 01:19:21.159 --> 01:19:24.239 not only here in the United States but 01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:26.960 even in Europe that violence is a way to 01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:30.199 change the government is a way to change 01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:31.679 that 01:19:31.679 --> 01:19:34.960 establishments in the western world that 01:19:34.960 --> 01:19:37.800 they consider corrupt they considered 01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:40.480 evil uh they considered that these 01:19:40.480 --> 01:19:42.520 governments are nothing but tools to the 01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:44.960 Jews or to whatever conspiracy they 01:19:44.960 --> 01:19:47.239 believe 01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:52.520 in you believe the rich people in the 01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:54.719 world are using this disease and it's 01:19:54.719 --> 01:19:56.960 exaggerating it to create some sort of 01:19:56.960 --> 01:19:59.520 apocalyptic nightmare right you think 01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:01.320 it's common sense that we all have to 01:20:01.320 --> 01:20:04.020 stay inside and be afraid of the 01:20:04.020 --> 01:20:07.199 [Applause] 01:20:09.360 --> 01:20:12.320 air you look at January 6th I think the 01:20:12.320 --> 01:20:13.719 people that were there that participate 01:20:13.719 --> 01:20:16.239 in it number one they wanted it to serve 01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:18.920 as a wakeup call to those people who are 01:20:18.920 --> 01:20:22.560 Empower and the fact of the matter is 01:20:22.560 --> 01:20:24.400 every single person that was there that 01:20:24.400 --> 01:20:27.520 day is a patriot of this nation y Randy 01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:29.080 maybe you want to put the beers inside 01:20:29.080 --> 01:20:31.480 the the the the bridge maybe you want to 01:20:31.480 --> 01:20:34.639 get off being a patriot being a person 01:20:34.639 --> 01:20:36.800 that loves their country especially you 01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:38.600 know being a military veteran you take 01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:41.760 an oath to the Constitution and for a 01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:43.280 lot of those people that were there that 01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:45.639 day they felt that their constitution 01:20:45.639 --> 01:20:48.360 was being shredded up our democracy was 01:20:48.360 --> 01:20:50.600 being shredded right in front of our 01:20:50.600 --> 01:20:52.239 eyes I think it's absolutely 01:20:52.239 --> 01:20:53.840 heartbreaking to see veterans involved 01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:55.639 in these things and I know for a lot of 01:20:55.639 --> 01:20:57.520 them that their hearts are in in some 01:20:57.520 --> 01:20:59.320 ways in the right place we just don't 01:20:59.320 --> 01:21:02.600 live in the same world of truth 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:08.239 [Music] 01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:10.600 anymore the people in DC they were 01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:12.840 Americans yeah and they were patriots 01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:14.800 they only broke laws because the DC 01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:16.800 police didn't do their 01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:20.639 job okay okay that's it people died 01:21:20.639 --> 01:21:22.239 because they didn't do their 01:21:22.239 --> 01:21:25.000 job so they broke into the Capital 01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:26.760 because DC police didn't do their job 01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:28.360 the DC police they didn't break into 01:21:28.360 --> 01:21:31.120 anything they let them in not only did 01:21:31.120 --> 01:21:34.320 they let them in it's paid for by tax 01:21:34.320 --> 01:21:36.520 dollars it's their [ __ ] 01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:41.840 property easy sorry this is the lethal 01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:44.840 danger of the big election lie right 01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:46.560 it's this is a conspiracy theory that 01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:48.560 says the very heart of American 01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:49.840 political life the very heart of our 01:21:49.840 --> 01:21:51.320 democracy has been destroyed and taken 01:21:51.320 --> 01:21:54.159 from us which leaves us what recourse do 01:21:54.159 --> 01:21:55.480 I believe the election was stolen 01:21:55.480 --> 01:21:57.280 absolutely without a doubt there's no 01:21:57.280 --> 01:22:00.239 way in hell Joe Biden was elected 81 01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:02.159 million votes for Joe Biden I don't 01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:04.560 think so we're in a situation right now 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:06.600 where you know we can't trust our 01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:09.280 elections anymore we know that so what 01:22:09.280 --> 01:22:12.159 really is scary is is that what will the 01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:14.400 people do what will the average American 01:22:14.400 --> 01:22:16.320 do when they finally wake up to the 01:22:16.320 --> 01:22:18.560 reality of all this and the answer to 01:22:18.560 --> 01:22:22.080 that is we don't know we have no idea 01:22:22.080 --> 01:22:24.920 what the American people will do this no 01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:27.639 longer is a constitutional republic and 01:22:27.639 --> 01:22:29.600 we are going to fight to bring our 01:22:29.600 --> 01:22:33.159 constitutional republic back again we've 01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:35.159 had violent domestic extremist 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:37.360 organizations for a long time but I 01:22:37.360 --> 01:22:38.760 think what makes this moment 01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:40.080 particularly dangerous there are a 01:22:40.080 --> 01:22:42.120 couple of things the first one is the 01:22:42.120 --> 01:22:44.800 fact that it's able to ride on a wave of 01:22:44.800 --> 01:22:48.280 conspiracy thinking and general 01:22:48.280 --> 01:22:50.280 distrust that's happening because of 01:22:50.280 --> 01:22:51.840 social media Technologies it's happening 01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:53.199 because of the way we we've structured 01:22:53.199 --> 01:22:55.199 our society on the internet that gives 01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:57.880 them the sheer numbers of people that 01:22:57.880 --> 01:22:59.760 they could never dream of of bringing to 01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:01.440 bear on their own everybody's got to put 01:23:01.440 --> 01:23:02.719 their shoulder to the wheel we need 01:23:02.719 --> 01:23:05.199 participation 24/7 we need you to be a 01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:07.600 force multiplier as a soldier and as a 01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:09.679 as a uh as a general as a retired 01:23:09.679 --> 01:23:12.719 General we have an army of digital 01:23:12.719 --> 01:23:14.840 soldiers if you can do command and 01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:16.920 control over social media and you're 01:23:16.920 --> 01:23:18.920 fighting against evil and you're on the 01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:20.880 side of God and you're on the side of 01:23:20.880 --> 01:23:22.639 the United States in your oath it's a 01:23:22.639 --> 01:23:25.400 very attractive proposition 01:23:25.400 --> 01:23:26.960 the sad part is is you're using all 01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:28.440 those skills and that goodness and that 01:23:28.440 --> 01:23:30.480 purity of heart that you think is 01:23:30.480 --> 01:23:34.280 actually absolute unadulterated 01:23:34.280 --> 01:23:36.719 [ __ ] the second major difference is 01:23:36.719 --> 01:23:39.080 you have political cover from the very 01:23:39.080 --> 01:23:41.800 top the only way we're going to lose 01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:44.360 this election is if the election is 01:23:44.360 --> 01:23:46.920 rigged remember that January 6 was the 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:48.840 culmination of two months of a 01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:50.520 propagation of a big lie and of 01:23:50.520 --> 01:23:53.080 conspiracy theories by the president of 01:23:53.080 --> 01:23:54.920 the United States 20 thirds of House 01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:57.040 Republicans go along with Trump and vote 01:23:57.040 --> 01:23:59.320 to overturn the electors on the evening 01:23:59.320 --> 01:24:02.159 of January 6th we a United States 01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:03.880 Senator and members of the House of 01:24:03.880 --> 01:24:06.000 Representatives object to the counting 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:07.800 of the electoral votes of the state of 01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:10.000 Pennsylvania Madam speaker I Rise to 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:11.719 support the objection Madam speaker I 01:24:11.719 --> 01:24:13.360 Rise to support the objection Madam 01:24:13.360 --> 01:24:15.679 speaker I Rise to support the objection 01:24:15.679 --> 01:24:18.040 Madam chair I vigorously support this 01:24:18.040 --> 01:24:20.520 objection and I in a vote that has 01:24:20.520 --> 01:24:23.760 always been thought to be ceremonial and 01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:25.840 minister IAL where you accept the 01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:27.600 Electoral College results which were in 01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:29.600 no serious way contested I mean that's 01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:31.920 almost as astounding as what happened in 01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:34.159 terms of the Insurrection how can so 01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:37.320 many people believe that it was unfair 01:24:37.320 --> 01:24:38.760 it was because their president said it 01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:40.760 was unfair their Senator said it was 01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:42.960 unfair their member of Congress said it 01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:45.520 was unfair a full audit is absolutely 01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:47.719 necessary we should get injunctions if 01:24:47.719 --> 01:24:50.080 necessary and normally those are people 01:24:50.080 --> 01:24:52.119 that the electric can have faith in I 01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:54.960 Rise for myself and 60 of my colleag to 01:24:54.960 --> 01:24:57.840 object to the counting of the Electoral 01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:00.760 ballots from Arizona is the objection in 01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:02.719 writing and signed by a 01:25:02.719 --> 01:25:07.119 senator yes it is it 01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:11.719 is but it is not just the big lie that 01:25:11.719 --> 01:25:13.639 appears to have captured much of the 01:25:13.639 --> 01:25:16.520 Republican Party Congressman Denver rlan 01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:18.080 lost his party's nomination over the 01:25:18.080 --> 01:25:20.080 weekend the first term Congressman was 01:25:20.080 --> 01:25:22.520 ousted by former Liberty University 01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:25.159 employee Bob good 01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:26.679 getting run out of the Republican party 01:25:26.679 --> 01:25:28.320 was really interesting I believe I was 01:25:28.320 --> 01:25:30.760 the first one that was affected by Q 01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:32.280 conspiracy theories when I didn't even 01:25:32.280 --> 01:25:33.000 know 01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:36.000 it I had conducted a same-sex wedding in 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:38.440 summer of 2019 two guys who had worked 01:25:38.440 --> 01:25:41.040 for me or volunteered and then I started 01:25:41.040 --> 01:25:43.520 hearing these weird things I'm funded by 01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:45.440 George Soros I'm a secret Jew I'm a 01:25:45.440 --> 01:25:47.639 secret Dem I'm trying to change the 01:25:47.639 --> 01:25:49.280 sexual orientation of children I'm a 01:25:49.280 --> 01:25:50.920 tool of the Antichrist and I'm hearing 01:25:50.920 --> 01:25:52.320 all this I'm like this is sounds like 01:25:52.320 --> 01:25:54.520 New World Order crazy stuff you know the 01:25:54.520 --> 01:25:56.239 anti-semitic 01:25:56.239 --> 01:25:59.159 tropes you had better wake up and 01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:01.600 understand that there are people then I 01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:03.000 started doing my own research and I'm 01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:05.119 pretty good at it and uh I saw some of 01:26:05.119 --> 01:26:07.080 the same patterns that you saw with 01:26:07.080 --> 01:26:09.080 foreign terrorists you know and when you 01:26:09.080 --> 01:26:12.440 chased Isis or alada or IED resupply 01:26:12.440 --> 01:26:14.920 from Iraq into Iran you know i' I've 01:26:14.920 --> 01:26:17.119 seen some things and uh what I saw was 01:26:17.119 --> 01:26:19.920 that people were using language uh in 01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:21.800 the open that I I thought we would never 01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:23.800 see As Americans my two decades of 01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:25.000 intelligence War fighting and 01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:26.639 counterterrorism experience coupled with 01:26:26.639 --> 01:26:30.040 serving in the 116th Congress is why I 01:26:30.040 --> 01:26:31.960 will not allow conspiracy peders to 01:26:31.960 --> 01:26:34.360 hijack our ability to conduct reasonable 01:26:34.360 --> 01:26:36.320 policy discussions for the betterment of 01:26:36.320 --> 01:26:38.320 all Americans I was pretty much drummed 01:26:38.320 --> 01:26:41.280 out and censured for following the law 01:26:41.280 --> 01:26:43.480 and trying to save this country and uh 01:26:43.480 --> 01:26:47.040 I'm not I don't think I'm overstating 01:26:47.400 --> 01:26:50.719 that if one of our two parties is 01:26:50.719 --> 01:26:53.960 committed to an orwellian whitewashing 01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:55.719 of hist history if you didn't know the 01:26:55.719 --> 01:26:57.920 TV footage was a video from January the 01:26:57.920 --> 01:26:59.920 6th you would actually think it was a 01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:02.320 normal tourist visit is committed to 01:27:02.320 --> 01:27:04.159 propagating or at least not quarreling 01:27:04.159 --> 01:27:07.480 with a big lie uh the big lie the big 01:27:07.480 --> 01:27:10.159 lie is a lot of [ __ ] that's what it 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:13.560 is is committed to not quarreling much 01:27:13.560 --> 01:27:15.760 with conspiracy theories is committed to 01:27:15.760 --> 01:27:17.880 purging those Republicans at the state 01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:19.480 and local level and at the national 01:27:19.480 --> 01:27:21.800 level who want to fight back against the 01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:23.840 lies and the conspiracy theories that's 01:27:23.840 --> 01:27:26.040 a big 01:27:26.040 --> 01:27:28.560 deal war is literally the continuation 01:27:28.560 --> 01:27:31.199 of politics by other violent means our 01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:33.000 military forces are the part of our 01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:36.000 society that carries out that peace then 01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:38.199 we come home and the question is do we 01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:40.520 have a political system that functions 01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:43.560 or are we at a point where our own 01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:44.880 politics the politics inside our own 01:27:44.880 --> 01:27:46.360 communities the politics inside our own 01:27:46.360 --> 01:27:48.360 country can only be continued through 01:27:48.360 --> 01:27:50.600 other means and we got to be very 01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:52.159 careful because if you think you have 01:27:52.159 --> 01:27:53.600 support from the highest levels of 01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:54.960 government 01:27:54.960 --> 01:27:56.320 why aren't you fighting for your country 01:27:56.320 --> 01:27:57.880 aren't you already sort of sworn in to 01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:00.119 do this the issue is is that the people 01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:02.440 that we are identifying as extremists 01:28:02.440 --> 01:28:04.360 they're identifying as Patriots or 01:28:04.360 --> 01:28:06.600 Freedom Fighters and that is it almost 01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:08.440 sounds like I'm talking about terrorism 01:28:08.440 --> 01:28:10.600 right 01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:16.800 now one of the organizations that I'm 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:19.440 particularly interested in uh as the 01:28:19.440 --> 01:28:24.239 Patriot front for the of our nation 01:28:24.239 --> 01:28:27.440 Liberty of our people liy for the 01:28:27.440 --> 01:28:32.119 victory of the American Spirit Victory 01:28:32.119 --> 01:28:34.360 they're producing what they refer to as 01:28:34.360 --> 01:28:36.440 propaganda they're studying books on 01:28:36.440 --> 01:28:39.600 fascism because they believe democracy 01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:41.639 has failed and their vision for the 01:28:41.639 --> 01:28:47.119 future is a dominant white race that has 01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.679 captured the Republican party and has 01:28:50.679 --> 01:28:53.480 defeated their political opponents by 01:28:53.480 --> 01:28:56.960 violence or by 01:28:57.280 --> 01:28:59.199 exclusion these guys showed up in 01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:02.600 Philadelphia on the 4th of July 2021 and 01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:05.520 assaulted a bunch of 01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:14.840 people nothing came of it cuz the local 01:29:14.840 --> 01:29:16.400 cops didn't know what the hell were they 01:29:16.400 --> 01:29:19.239 were dealing with so this is a fascist 01:29:19.239 --> 01:29:21.239 gang who's 01:29:21.239 --> 01:29:23.840 operating all around the country police 01:29:23.840 --> 01:29:26.400 and say they prevented a possible 01:29:26.400 --> 01:29:28.480 domestic terror attack over the weekend 01:29:28.480 --> 01:29:31.199 31 men were arrested all dressed alike 01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:33.199 allegedly on their way to wreak haveit 01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:36.040 at a pride event in the city of cordelan 01:29:36.040 --> 01:29:38.560 cordelan is just a few miles north of 01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:41.000 Hayden Lake and the Patriot front 01:29:41.000 --> 01:29:43.480 following in the footsteps of Lewis beam 01:29:43.480 --> 01:29:45.960 had made it a base of operations and in 01:29:45.960 --> 01:29:48.080 the same way Denver WLAN had been 01:29:48.080 --> 01:29:51.159 targeted by qanon for officiating a gay 01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:54.239 wedding Q's rhetoric casting the LG B 01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:58.320 btq Community as groomers and pedophiles 01:29:58.320 --> 01:30:00.840 helped put them squarely in the sights 01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:03.840 of the white nationalist Patriot front 01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:06.320 while the proud boys the oathkeepers the 01:30:06.320 --> 01:30:09.400 3centers are a threat the ones that I'm 01:30:09.400 --> 01:30:12.280 really afraid of are the Gen Z ones the 01:30:12.280 --> 01:30:14.639 service members who have served during a 01:30:14.639 --> 01:30:16.480 time of relative peace these young 01:30:16.480 --> 01:30:18.840 people who joined to fight never got a 01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:22.199 chance to fight and who starting in 01:30:22.199 --> 01:30:24.400 conservative Echo Chambers online have 01:30:24.400 --> 01:30:27.440 been brought into the proud boy to 01:30:27.440 --> 01:30:29.840 fascist pipeline so 01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:33.480 gab is an alternative social media 01:30:33.480 --> 01:30:36.400 platform that was created to be a safe 01:30:36.400 --> 01:30:37.480 space for 01:30:37.480 --> 01:30:40.320 neo-nazis one of the groups on here is 01:30:40.320 --> 01:30:43.159 the national Justice party this is a 01:30:43.159 --> 01:30:45.719 Neo-Nazi party within the United States 01:30:45.719 --> 01:30:49.480 whose goal is to use protests to 01:30:49.480 --> 01:30:53.080 radicalize Trump supporters into 01:30:53.080 --> 01:30:54.480 explicit 01:30:54.480 --> 01:30:55.400 white 01:30:55.400 --> 01:30:58.239 supremacy they're developing new and 01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:00.719 original propaganda that paint them in a 01:31:00.719 --> 01:31:04.280 light of achieving the power the ability 01:31:04.280 --> 01:31:09.320 to shape politics and engage in violence 01:31:09.320 --> 01:31:11.000 in a way that they thought they were 01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:13.600 going to get from the military they 01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:16.280 understand how to recruit people into 01:31:16.280 --> 01:31:18.119 that lifestyle so right here this is an 01:31:18.119 --> 01:31:19.560 Italian Maye 01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:23.679 frgo uh I don't care that was the slogan 01:31:23.679 --> 01:31:27.000 of of the fascist party under 01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:29.320 melini so what they're trying to do is 01:31:29.320 --> 01:31:31.920 make white nationalism look like it's 01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:35.840 testosterone filled way to be a man I 01:31:35.840 --> 01:31:38.159 believe that these Young Veterans who 01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:39.679 getting out and joining things like 01:31:39.679 --> 01:31:41.440 patriate front and nationalist socialist 01:31:41.440 --> 01:31:44.400 club and the word Nazi is nationalist 01:31:44.400 --> 01:31:47.320 socialist I think that the Republican 01:31:47.320 --> 01:31:50.400 party is is you know more than capable 01:31:50.400 --> 01:31:52.600 of adopting that IDE ideology in a way 01:31:52.600 --> 01:31:55.000 that that's unfathomable even to me you 01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:57.199 know I I never saw us where we are today 01:31:57.199 --> 01:32:00.840 I I think another four years things 01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:03.400 could be far 01:32:06.560 --> 01:32:09.119 worse I think the worst case scenario is 01:32:09.119 --> 01:32:11.480 probably worse than most of us want to 01:32:11.480 --> 01:32:14.280 imagine I could see a civil war because 01:32:14.280 --> 01:32:15.560 this is the same movement we've been 01:32:15.560 --> 01:32:17.560 dealing with this whole time it's 01:32:17.560 --> 01:32:19.360 reasonable to assume that what we can 01:32:19.360 --> 01:32:22.080 see is only about half of the activity 01:32:22.080 --> 01:32:24.199 that there is an underground that is in 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:26.520 violent action training in camps trying 01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:28.960 to accumulate weapons and preparing for 01:32:28.960 --> 01:32:30.679 violence when you talk about Civil War 01:32:30.679 --> 01:32:32.840 or specific sectors of the country that 01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:35.159 could go kinetic just go to these areas 01:32:35.159 --> 01:32:36.600 where you see the first big far-left 01:32:36.600 --> 01:32:38.400 protest when Republicans take back the 01:32:38.400 --> 01:32:41.119 house boom if there's anybody out there 01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:43.800 from antifa our black lives matters 01:32:43.800 --> 01:32:45.760 spend your first [ __ ] bullet up my 01:32:45.760 --> 01:32:48.199 chest okay or if Republicans think that 01:32:48.199 --> 01:32:49.920 one of the state elections were stolen 01:32:49.920 --> 01:32:52.320 boom forget right in your legislators 01:32:52.320 --> 01:32:54.639 you got to do something it's it's We the 01:32:54.639 --> 01:32:56.440 People you're going to have to take my 01:32:56.440 --> 01:32:58.440 life there's no way I'll die on this 01:32:58.440 --> 01:33:01.000 hill there's no way no way all of this 01:33:01.000 --> 01:33:03.080 can happen who's to say that if a 01:33:03.080 --> 01:33:05.440 legislation came down where we l our 01:33:05.440 --> 01:33:06.639 Second Amendment tomorrow that that 01:33:06.639 --> 01:33:09.080 wouldn't start a civil war to be honest 01:33:09.080 --> 01:33:10.400 with you I don't know of any veteran 01:33:10.400 --> 01:33:12.239 that wants wool in this country but at 01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:14.719 the very same time when you look back to 01:33:14.719 --> 01:33:16.360 what our founding fathers wanted for 01:33:16.360 --> 01:33:18.760 this country we are so far away from 01:33:18.760 --> 01:33:20.280 that today it's just something they're 01:33:20.280 --> 01:33:25.080 ready for and their gun safe is full 01:33:25.639 --> 01:33:26.960 if you're prepared you're prepared and 01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:29.280 if you're not you're not if you're armed 01:33:29.280 --> 01:33:31.080 then you're somewhat prepared to defend 01:33:31.080 --> 01:33:33.360 your family and yourself if you're not 01:33:33.360 --> 01:33:36.880 armed you're dog 01:33:37.719 --> 01:33:40.480 meate there's imminent Civil War if we 01:33:40.480 --> 01:33:42.199 don't fix our elections and actually 01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:45.440 make them Bonafide again we don't have 01:33:45.440 --> 01:33:47.520 2024 there is no 01:33:47.520 --> 01:33:50.920 2024 but it is the election of 2024 that 01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:53.320 opens up a different front one that is 01:33:53.320 --> 01:33:56.440 potenti as dangerous as a violent Civil 01:33:56.440 --> 01:33:58.280 War there are people in this movement 01:33:58.280 --> 01:34:00.119 who believe that the nation cannot be 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:02.719 saved as it is and must be overthrown in 01:34:02.719 --> 01:34:05.040 order to make way for a white ethnostate 01:34:05.040 --> 01:34:06.320 and then there are probably people in 01:34:06.320 --> 01:34:08.159 this movement who think aha there's an 01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:11.040 opening here to run for office and mount 01:34:11.040 --> 01:34:13.440 a sort of coup from inside in order to 01:34:13.440 --> 01:34:15.679 change the very nature of the nation you 01:34:15.679 --> 01:34:17.440 know I worry about scenarios in which 01:34:17.440 --> 01:34:20.239 you know in 2024 uh one party controls 01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:21.480 Congress the other party wins a 01:34:21.480 --> 01:34:23.000 presidential election Congress refuses 01:34:23.000 --> 01:34:24.920 to certify the election the Republican 01:34:24.920 --> 01:34:27.199 party has a pretty systematic plan to 01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:29.760 have state legislator impose themselves 01:34:29.760 --> 01:34:31.159 much more directly into the 01:34:31.159 --> 01:34:33.199 certification of electors to perhaps 01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:34.920 also suppress some democratic votes 01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:37.159 along the way so I do think the chances 01:34:37.159 --> 01:34:39.400 of a real attempt to overturn a 01:34:39.400 --> 01:34:41.800 legitimate election results are not 01:34:41.800 --> 01:34:44.000 nothing and they're not tiny and then 01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:46.040 somebody as president or people that are 01:34:46.040 --> 01:34:48.440 elected that aren't do aren't there in a 01:34:48.440 --> 01:34:50.119 in a legal way and then that's when The 01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:51.560 Descent happens and that's the end of 01:34:51.560 --> 01:34:54.119 our country and our legal norms and that 01:34:54.119 --> 01:34:56.159 scares the hell out of me this country 01:34:56.159 --> 01:34:58.199 you as individuals with the individual 01:34:58.199 --> 01:34:59.920 liberties and individual rights that you 01:34:59.920 --> 01:35:02.199 have you need to start assuming risk for 01:35:02.199 --> 01:35:03.800 your neighborhoods and your communities 01:35:03.800 --> 01:35:07.080 in your towns you have to get involved 01:35:07.080 --> 01:35:08.600 General Flynn's ultimate plan is to 01:35:08.600 --> 01:35:11.760 undermine democracy is to get his 01:35:11.760 --> 01:35:15.560 digital soldiers to radicalize the rest 01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:17.960 of the Republican base go run for dog 01:35:17.960 --> 01:35:19.960 catcher if you don't like this who's 01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:21.639 running your school board go run for the 01:35:21.639 --> 01:35:23.719 school board if you don't like who's 01:35:23.719 --> 01:35:25.239 running your little town or your little 01:35:25.239 --> 01:35:28.639 Parish go get involved if Flynn can 01:35:28.639 --> 01:35:31.119 convince his followers to push enough 01:35:31.119 --> 01:35:33.600 good people out of government they'll 01:35:33.600 --> 01:35:36.719 beat us into submission I don't want 01:35:36.719 --> 01:35:38.760 guys like disgraced former General 01:35:38.760 --> 01:35:42.280 Michael Flynn to be deciding who's an 01:35:42.280 --> 01:35:44.760 American and who's not General Flynn do 01:35:44.760 --> 01:35:47.119 you believe the violence on January 6th 01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:51.440 was justified I said I I said because 01:35:51.440 --> 01:35:55.760 their movement is about excluding others 01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:59.080 it's not about the will of the people 01:35:59.080 --> 01:36:01.920 it's about suppressing opposition it's 01:36:01.920 --> 01:36:04.480 about power General Flynn do you believe 01:36:04.480 --> 01:36:06.119 in the peaceful transition of power in 01:36:06.119 --> 01:36:08.159 the United States of 01:36:08.159 --> 01:36:11.480 America that's fa this is how countries 01:36:11.480 --> 01:36:14.480 Fall Apart part of my experience as a 01:36:14.480 --> 01:36:15.760 veteran and as somebody who's worked 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:17.880 with refugees and done human rights work 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:20.320 I know what happens when the center 01:36:20.320 --> 01:36:22.280 cannot hold and a and a society falls 01:36:22.280 --> 01:36:24.320 apart I know what happens when your 01:36:24.320 --> 01:36:26.440 ethnic Identity or your in-group 01:36:26.440 --> 01:36:28.760 outgroup membership becomes a life and 01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:30.320 death issue and when Neighbors start 01:36:30.320 --> 01:36:33.840 killing each other I've seen it and 01:36:33.840 --> 01:36:35.480 whatever your Twitter bravado about the 01:36:35.480 --> 01:36:37.719 next civil war is nobody wants to see 01:36:37.719 --> 01:36:40.000 that I mean that is the road to Hell the 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.400 very worst case scenario is that we 01:36:42.400 --> 01:36:44.239 slide to 01:36:44.239 --> 01:36:48.719 authoritarians that we are not able to 01:36:48.719 --> 01:36:50.960 climb out of this we have seen this 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:53.719 happen over and over and over again in 01:36:53.719 --> 01:36:56.520 other countries we have seen them fight 01:36:56.520 --> 01:37:00.199 back against the first wave and not be 01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:02.080 ready for the second and not be ready 01:37:02.080 --> 01:37:04.360 for the third this is a this is going to 01:37:04.360 --> 01:37:07.239 take a long time and it's going to take 01:37:07.239 --> 01:37:09.280 everything we have to make sure that our 01:37:09.280 --> 01:37:11.000 democracy is still standing at the end 01:37:11.000 --> 01:37:13.000 of it I hope that people are [ __ ] 01:37:13.000 --> 01:37:15.960 scared because being scared motivates 01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:19.199 people and I I want you to be scared by 01:37:19.199 --> 01:37:20.840 what's true and I want you to look at 01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:23.800 evidence I you to think critically and 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:25.400 do everything within your power and 01:37:25.400 --> 01:37:29.040 within the uh confines of of the law to 01:37:29.040 --> 01:37:30.440 make sure that we don't live in that 01:37:30.440 --> 01:37:32.400 dystopian future that could just be a 01:37:32.400 --> 01:37:34.960 few years 01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:41.920 away I went to my son's grave site and I 01:37:41.920 --> 01:37:44.960 just felt so helpless it made me angry 01:37:44.960 --> 01:37:47.040 that my son's sacrifice almost felt like 01:37:47.040 --> 01:37:49.679 it was in vain now I've refocused and I 01:37:49.679 --> 01:37:51.040 had to take a look at it I had to do a 01:37:51.040 --> 01:37:52.840 lot of soul searching to understand that 01:37:52.840 --> 01:37:55.440 that's not the case 01:37:56.270 --> 01:37:57.480 [Music] 01:37:57.480 --> 01:38:01.760 case and this fight is not over it's far 01:38:01.760 --> 01:38:03.639 from over and it may never be over but 01:38:03.639 --> 01:38:05.480 his sacrifice is not in 01:38:05.480 --> 01:38:08.360 vain my service service of everyone else 01:38:08.360 --> 01:38:10.119 of all Americans regardless of your wore 01:38:10.119 --> 01:38:11.639 a uniform as long as you got up in the 01:38:11.639 --> 01:38:13.119 morning you just try to do the right 01:38:13.119 --> 01:38:15.599 thing it's not in vain what if every 01:38:15.599 --> 01:38:17.960 Young American did national service for 01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:20.599 a year maybe in uniform but not 01:38:20.599 --> 01:38:22.280 necessarily what if they didn't in 01:38:22.280 --> 01:38:24.840 health care conservation education how 01:38:24.840 --> 01:38:26.199 would they feel about each other at the 01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:29.480 end of that by experience we know you 01:38:29.480 --> 01:38:31.480 almost always feel different more 01:38:31.480 --> 01:38:34.280 tightly you break down many of your 01:38:34.280 --> 01:38:36.679 preconceived prejudices against other 01:38:36.679 --> 01:38:40.679 groups trust starts to 01:38:40.800 --> 01:38:42.960 build in 01:38:42.960 --> 01:38:46.119 2013 I first applied to my local 01:38:46.119 --> 01:38:48.599 Community 01:38:49.480 --> 01:38:52.800 College having had my military 01:38:52.800 --> 01:38:54.360 experience turn turn out so negative 01:38:54.360 --> 01:38:56.000 I'll be honest my confidence was 01:38:56.000 --> 01:38:58.560 destroyed and I was like terrified of 01:38:58.560 --> 01:39:00.679 registering for classes because I was 01:39:00.679 --> 01:39:03.679 terrified of failure and I went over the 01:39:03.679 --> 01:39:06.040 course of my first semester at Nassau 01:39:06.040 --> 01:39:08.760 Community College fulfilling a lot of 01:39:08.760 --> 01:39:10.760 bad stereotypes about veterans you know 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:13.480 coming in having my headphones on having 01:39:13.480 --> 01:39:15.360 my hoodie over my head kind of just like 01:39:15.360 --> 01:39:18.560 sitting down not talking to anybody not 01:39:18.560 --> 01:39:21.280 engaging and a group of student veterans 01:39:21.280 --> 01:39:23.480 at my Community College identified that 01:39:23.480 --> 01:39:26.080 that recognized that it was a problem 01:39:26.080 --> 01:39:28.920 and helped to break me up my 01:39:28.920 --> 01:39:31.520 shell I went from being that guy who 01:39:31.520 --> 01:39:33.040 doesn't talk to anybody and sits in the 01:39:33.040 --> 01:39:35.440 corner to being elected to represent all 01:39:35.440 --> 01:39:37.199 of the student Veterans of my school 01:39:37.199 --> 01:39:40.040 student Veterans of Nassau is a chapter 01:39:40.040 --> 01:39:42.040 of student Veterans of America it's a 01:39:42.040 --> 01:39:44.560 National Organization focused on 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:45.880 basically easing people in the 01:39:45.880 --> 01:39:48.440 transition from combat to college to 01:39:48.440 --> 01:39:49.880 careers one of the things that the 01:39:49.880 --> 01:39:52.360 veteran Center does is it allows for us 01:39:52.360 --> 01:39:55.080 to kind of get back into an environment 01:39:55.080 --> 01:39:57.080 that we're familiar with it gives us a 01:39:57.080 --> 01:39:59.000 sense of camaraderie that we really miss 01:39:59.000 --> 01:40:01.400 from the military it's not something 01:40:01.400 --> 01:40:03.520 that happened overnight but it set me on 01:40:03.520 --> 01:40:05.480 the path towards recovery and rather 01:40:05.480 --> 01:40:08.280 than feel like the future was 01:40:08.280 --> 01:40:10.520 predetermined by these powerful groups 01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:11.719 and that there was nothing that I could 01:40:11.719 --> 01:40:13.920 do in fight against them I started to 01:40:13.920 --> 01:40:16.440 accept the idea of maybe the truth is 01:40:16.440 --> 01:40:19.080 somewhere in the middle and because most 01:40:19.080 --> 01:40:20.840 of my interactions with the outside 01:40:20.840 --> 01:40:23.880 world were in person person to person I 01:40:23.880 --> 01:40:27.159 wasn't as easily able to seek out an 01:40:27.159 --> 01:40:29.320 echo chamber that didn't challenge my 01:40:29.320 --> 01:40:32.320 opinions that only reinforced my beliefs 01:40:32.320 --> 01:40:34.760 that diversity of opinion is what kept 01:40:34.760 --> 01:40:36.840 me from you know joining the oathkeepers 01:40:36.840 --> 01:40:38.880 when it first sprang up that helped to 01:40:38.880 --> 01:40:40.320 break me out of 01:40:40.320 --> 01:40:43.199 it a lot of veterans getting out they 01:40:43.199 --> 01:40:45.320 don't have that opportunity we're in a 01:40:45.320 --> 01:40:46.440 different 01:40:46.440 --> 01:40:49.719 world in this new world our troops have 01:40:49.719 --> 01:40:52.840 to be trained to not only defend 01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:56.440 themselves against a Chinese sniper or a 01:40:56.440 --> 01:40:57.560 Russian 01:40:57.560 --> 01:41:01.320 tank but against enemy disinformation 01:41:01.320 --> 01:41:04.239 campaigns on the Internet it's also true 01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:07.199 that disinformation is not just coming 01:41:07.199 --> 01:41:11.119 from China and Russia we know how to 01:41:11.119 --> 01:41:14.360 combat malicious misinformation we did a 01:41:14.360 --> 01:41:17.440 pretty good job teaching soldiers and 01:41:17.440 --> 01:41:19.760 citizens how to not fall for Nazi 01:41:19.760 --> 01:41:22.239 propaganda we did a pretty good job 01:41:22.239 --> 01:41:24.199 teaching soldiers citizens how to not 01:41:24.199 --> 01:41:25.880 fall for communist propaganda all 01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:27.239 through the Cold 01:41:27.239 --> 01:41:30.080 War the problem with that of course is 01:41:30.080 --> 01:41:32.000 that you know opposition to the Nazis 01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:33.639 was a goal shared by both political 01:41:33.639 --> 01:41:35.800 parties in America opposition to the 01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:38.239 Soviet Union was a goal shared by most 01:41:38.239 --> 01:41:40.040 across the political Spectrum in America 01:41:40.040 --> 01:41:42.440 right now this conflict you know it's 01:41:42.440 --> 01:41:44.320 far too partisan it's far too divisive 01:41:44.320 --> 01:41:46.320 and it's far too politicized we know how 01:41:46.320 --> 01:41:48.760 to do this but it takes unity and this 01:41:48.760 --> 01:41:50.760 is a layer cake of problems this is 01:41:50.760 --> 01:41:53.840 something that does not just exist at a 01:41:53.840 --> 01:41:56.520 DOD policy level this is about how 01:41:56.520 --> 01:41:58.440 journalists talk about the movement how 01:41:58.440 --> 01:42:01.440 our laws prosecute the movement how our 01:42:01.440 --> 01:42:03.400 national leaders direct their time and 01:42:03.400 --> 01:42:06.000 attention we know that there is a lack 01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:10.119 of political will to establish or to 01:42:10.119 --> 01:42:13.360 create a domestic terrorism law yet I 01:42:13.360 --> 01:42:15.960 think there is a big possibility that we 01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:18.560 can designate these groups as 01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:21.800 International terrorist organizations so 01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:26.280 what that means we can take all the 01:42:26.280 --> 01:42:30.239 rules the laws the authorities that the 01:42:30.239 --> 01:42:31.880 FBI and other law enforcement and 01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:34.880 intelligence agencies have to go after 01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:38.000 them the same way we go after 01:42:38.000 --> 01:42:40.119 International terrorist organizations 01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:42.800 who's paid a price who's paid a price 01:42:42.800 --> 01:42:45.920 for being a conspiratorial irresponsible 01:42:45.920 --> 01:42:48.000 demagogic extremist with the exception 01:42:48.000 --> 01:42:50.599 of a few true believers who were just 01:42:50.599 --> 01:42:53.199 duped and taken in and foolishly 01:42:53.199 --> 01:42:55.480 believed all this stuff most of them are 01:42:55.480 --> 01:42:57.960 going about going along doing fine 01:42:57.960 --> 01:43:00.360 voters need to decide whether they are 01:43:00.360 --> 01:43:02.880 comfortable with those who inight 01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:07.159 violence representing them and movements 01:43:07.159 --> 01:43:11.440 like this end when the entire population 01:43:11.440 --> 01:43:13.560 decides that they are 01:43:13.560 --> 01:43:16.150 unacceptable we haven't seen that 01:43:16.150 --> 01:43:19.250 [Music] 01:43:19.360 --> 01:43:21.599 yet so the ideal solution is 01:43:21.599 --> 01:43:22.920 deradicalization but that's not 01:43:22.920 --> 01:43:24.599 something something I'm interested in 01:43:24.599 --> 01:43:26.920 I'm interested in 01:43:26.920 --> 01:43:29.760 Justice and I'm interested in imposing 01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.239 costs on people are trying to hurt 01:43:32.239 --> 01:43:34.040 America and 01:43:34.040 --> 01:43:36.400 Americans all I think about all day is 01:43:36.400 --> 01:43:38.440 finding bad guys and hoping that they 01:43:38.440 --> 01:43:41.320 end up in jail documenting any 01:43:41.320 --> 01:43:43.000 potentially criminal Behavior 01:43:43.000 --> 01:43:45.159 documenting things that if they're not 01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:49.000 illegal society would frown upon and 01:43:49.000 --> 01:43:51.760 ultimately it's to put a cost behind 01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:55.400 being in Insurgent within the United 01:43:55.400 --> 01:43:58.800 States I'm a Nazi Hunter but it doesn't 01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:00.000 mean we're going to win and that's what 01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:01.639 I want to tell people 01:44:01.639 --> 01:44:04.920 this good doesn't always Triumph but I 01:44:04.920 --> 01:44:06.960 do believe the oath means something and 01:44:06.960 --> 01:44:09.400 I know that I'm going directly against 01:44:09.400 --> 01:44:10.840 people who think that they also are 01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:13.480 honoring their oath in the same way and 01:44:13.480 --> 01:44:14.840 that's why I think this makes this 01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:17.159 dangerous but what's enabling that 01:44:17.159 --> 01:44:19.800 Schism to 01:44:19.880 --> 01:44:23.880 happen is the LIE which world of Truth 01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:26.080 do you live in it's not about commitment 01:44:26.080 --> 01:44:28.560 to country that's shared so the only way 01:44:28.560 --> 01:44:29.840 back to get back together the only the 01:44:29.840 --> 01:44:32.520 only possibility of reconciliation is a 01:44:32.520 --> 01:44:34.360 conversation that can occur in you know 01:44:34.360 --> 01:44:36.320 in an environment of Truth we can either 01:44:36.320 --> 01:44:38.159 reconcile with with each other as a 01:44:38.159 --> 01:44:41.239 country or we can have a conflict where 01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:43.239 do I want America to 01:44:43.239 --> 01:44:47.239 go not here not where we're at this path 01:44:47.239 --> 01:44:48.840 we're on will kill us it'll kill this 01:44:48.840 --> 01:44:50.560 country it'll kill Freedom it'll kill 01:44:50.560 --> 01:44:52.280 our camaraderie it'll kill our 01:44:52.280 --> 01:44:54.520 compassion and our human decency for 01:44:54.520 --> 01:44:56.880 each other what I'd like to see is for 01:44:56.880 --> 01:44:59.159 the people on both sides all come 01:44:59.159 --> 01:45:02.560 together and agree on going by the truth 01:45:02.560 --> 01:45:05.239 only if we can do that then this nation 01:45:05.239 --> 01:45:08.599 can be Salvage do I see that 01:45:08.599 --> 01:45:10.760 happening no I 01:45:10.760 --> 01:45:15.360 don't I can hope though 01:45:22.180 --> 01:45:29.010 [Music] 01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:37.989 [Music]
