I would love your reaction to this
I mean this is something that we come across
in like a group that's recruiting veterans
so if you like an exer
if you look at like questions 15 16 and 17
Ah Jesus!
So I'm looking at an intake questionnaire
for a violent extremist group
and I'm going to read you three of the questions.
Question 15: are you in the military or a veteran?
If so, which branch?
16: If it comes down to it would you go against the oath you took
in the military and law enforcement.
You could end up fighting against your military/law enforcement brothers
I mean I I think you got to consider where somebody has to be
in order to say yes to those three questions
and also some of the capabilities and training
that some of these individuals bring.
There are places in our military
where we are trained to start and fuel insurgencies.
There are places in our military where we are trained
to overthrow governments or work with armed militias
in order to do that sort of thing.
I'm not saying this to be alarmist
and I don't think we need to be afraid of our veterans.
What I do think is that we need to have a solid understanding
of how badly this could escalate.
We're not at the point where violence is the solution to our problems
but there are a lot of people trying to convince vets and others that we are;
and that is a very dangerous thing.
Today, domestic terrorism is the greatest terrorist threat
facing the United
[Music]
States the threat is real and we are all
at risk for decades violent extremist
groups have sought to infiltrate our
military to gain tactical training and
access to weapons and explosives
I do believe the oath means something
and I know that I'm going directly
against people who think that they also
are honoring their
oath I I do solemnly swear the of the
United States enemies foreign and
domestic so help me God so help me God
so help me God
[Music]
go ahead and fill up this
[Music]
Magazine asked a buddy of mine I said
hey man can you uh can you get me some
ammo decent ammo I can't find any he
said yeah man I heard that there's a
drug dealer down the corner he's uh
actually slinging ammunition now instead
of
[Music]
drugs so bought some ammunition from the
drug
dealer when people look at these these
guns these rifles and these handguns so
forth you know there's there's a lot of
folks that see something that causes
violence see something that's dangerous
and shouldn't be allowed in society and
so forth what they don't realize is that
this is what gave us our freedom this is
what won our independence this is what
protects us from from Attack it's not
just our god-given right you know to
defend ourselves it's our constitutional
right but it's also it's just right you
know when when you think about it uh
this rifle will never hurt or harm
anybody unless something that comes up
against it
baby's ready to rock and
roll being a Texan we're supposed to be
able to protect ourselves you know the
stuff that they show you on the movies
that's our real life that's who we are
The Cowboy Way and The Cowboy Way is to
be able to defend yourself
and uh you know I'm proud to say that I
can do that you know pretty
effectively you know I learned how to
ride a horse when I was about six the
property that we lived at was a lot like
this mosqu trees and so
forth my grandfather gave me my first BB
gun and
you know showed me how to aim how to
breathe and
shoot I was taught how to hone into a
Target and be able to actually execute
with whatever tool I'm
using but what you learn in the military
in the Army is your Scopes will fail you
your red dots will fail you the
batteries will wear out but your irons
never ever will so I've never had
anything on my rifles other than uh my
iron
sights not the best grouping but from 60
yards 50 yards it'll work up
close they all be in the
center good
boy come
herey I spent my whole life wanting to
join the military I mean there's a photo
photo right behind me of me when I was
probably like 5 years old wearing
camouflage Head To Toe with a pair of
dog tags feel like most kids that I grew
up with went through a phase of wanting
to be a cop or a firefighter or an army
man right I never grew out of
that then when I was 16 years old
September 11th happened and it kind of
put a different spin on that desire to
serve I went to go out and find bad guys
and find
justice so this is when I was 18 years
old in basic training and it's the
standard photo that you take before you
know what anything on the uniform means
so you notice there's no ribbon no name
tag anything like that it's a a
barebones uniform I was wearing a shirt
jacket and tie that weren't mine I mean
this is ignorance is bliss right here
that's that's what this photo is the
historical record is absolutely clear
that the aftermath of warfare is a
danger point for anti-democratic
violence for racist violence for
activity among Clan and white power
groups there's no question that this is
the case all of us men women people who
have served or not old people children
everyone becomes more violent in the
aftermath of warfare I think that what
we don't know yet is what happens to
that phenomenon when we're talking about
a 20-year War
my career started as a enlisted Soldier
I was Private Crow uh and then um almost
a decade later it it ended as Captain
Crow over that period well over a 100
combat missions between Iraq and
Afghanistan and of course felt like I
left that part of my life behind
me we will take that Dy we're going to
stor [ __ ] Capital [ __ ] you [ __ ] so
on January 6th I had told all the
members of my staff not to come in to
the office um I had heard reports of
bugaloo boys and proud boys and others
um filling flights to come into the
[Applause]
capital I think as a lot of us watch
things unfold on the 6th and then have
have looked at a lot of the footage
since you see things we recognize as
veterans that's affirmative gu this is
talk on January 6th 2021 US military
veterans who had sworn an oath to defend
the country were at the Vanguard of a
violent attempt to stop Congress from
certifying the 2020 presidential
election they were determined to keep
Joe Biden from becoming president you
can actually see if you look at it the
militia groups in the oath Creepers
three centers the proud boys they're
organized they're behaving tactically
they understand that the Dynamics of a
crowd and they're maneuvering to exploit
that mass of bodies you know so you see
an organized line of militia members
with shields ready to go ready to
exploit a breach pushing the crowd in
certain
directions the mob broke through into
the capital they evacuated leadership
they evacuated the floor but they had
forgotten that there were about two
dozen members up in the gallery
everybody stay down get
down the floor of the house was
evacuated but there was no safe
evacuation route evidently um from the
the gallery there's no safe place in the
United States for any of these
[ __ ] military principal 105
cave means grave and that's why I
realized we were trapped there was no
way out and we would likely have to make
a stand or fight our way out this was
one of the most shocking moments of my
life I made the decision to call my wife
and let her know that I uh love her and
tell the kids that I love
them the only time that the US capital
had been breached before was in the War
of 1812 and that was care of the British
king here we are in the capital No
Looking Back Now boys no looking back
this is what we [ __ ] lived up for
everything we [ __ ] trained
for this was the kind of experience that
I expected as a US Marine in Iraq but
could never even imagine happening as a
United States Congressman in Washington
DC you know many people have seen the
pictures they had barred the door to the
gallery they were banging on that door
and breaking the glass to that door I've
often asked myself how did I end up on
one side of that door and my fellow
veterans who raised their same right
hand and took the same oath that I took
how did they end up on the other side of
that
door nearly 150 law enforcement officers
were injured in the
[Music]
melee five protesters died and another
four police officers later committed
suicide Donald Trump tweeted out a video
he said we did a good [ __ ] job among
those charged in connection with the
attack a disproportionate number are US
military
[Music]
veterans for me now the capital is
almost like
around Gettysburg or antium or going to
Pearl Harbor and my son Michael was
killed in action in Afghanistan in June
14th 2008 and when you join the military
there's a lot of lot of competing ideals
of why you show up and and for most of
it there's a there's a a large amount of
patriotism but you never lose focus and
never lose sight that you know I'm here
in this country maybe to give them a
better chance to experience what we have
in America where it's not perfect we are
trying to form a more perfect union
every day and we want to give that
chance to other
people my son died doing that in
Afghanistan only for us to to lose that
sight
here veterans who swear that oath to
protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all enemies
foreign and
domestic of all
Americans they should
understand how dangerous and
unpatriotic this
Insurrection
was they were trying to
overthrow democratic election
results they shouted for the hanging of
our own vice
president that's a coup
attempt watching the instr Direction
happened and we're going to call it that
because that's what it was and watching
veterans participate being at the
Vanguard of that Insurrection it just
it's mindboggling but I I don't I don't
have a really good answer for why why
veterans would do
[Applause]
that though I was trained to blow stuff
up and run with the Infantry I became
this unofficial On The Ground
Intelligence reporter May 15 20
2005 we got called to uh respond to a
body that was found in a trash dump
outside solder City when we got there uh
we realized that it wasn't a body it was
a bunch of bodies and uh I had never
experienced anything like it and now as
I was taking photos closeup photos of
these faces of victims of murder and
torture I was looking at their wounds
and looking at the packaging tape that
was wrapped around their eyes and imagin
the terror that they
felt and every time I snap a
picture one of those faces
freezes
and the way that it froze on the screen
it froze in my
head but that was just a day of
deployment and I had 6 and 1 half months
7 months left of Iraq to deal with
that I went in as 11 br to the Army I
scored fairly high so I went to Airborne
school which was going to be my next uh
step of training for special forces and
uh during that time I ended up getting
injured really
badly when I came home I had spent my
entire adult life up to that point you
know either training for combat or in
combat it was hard for me to think of
anything positive in any way whether
it's for myself or for my country or for
democracy or for the
world I couldn't help but base my
beliefs and my feelings on my
experiences all of which had been
horrifically [ __ ]
negative when most come out of the
military they're coming out to a world
that they no longer understand anymore
you really get lost in that life when
you're in the military you know what
happens is you have the camaraderie the
friendship all the good things that you
have in the military and then when you
come out you kind of have Society that's
undisciplined incapable and and just
downright
ugly good evening I'm Jamie yucas a
massive police presence in Portland
Oregon today in anticipation of a
violent
confrontation I'm a proud boy I'm a
president of the Hellgate Bridge crew
chapter in New York City I'm also an Air
Force veteran what we're going through
right now is is a war on the US
Constitution biggest reason why I joined
the Air Force myself you know it's to
get back to my country to serve my
country I think a lot of that kind of
came from my up upbringing you know the
family that I grew up in you know very
proud to be an American uh very proud of
what America stood for what it
represented around the world very
patriotic and I think a lot of those
things that which last today members of
The Proud boys and antifa fought
multiple times mayor Ted wheeler just
sent out a statement late today saying
this past weekend quote put innocent
lives at risk the proud boys were
founded in New York in 2016 you want to
keep on poking a Sleeping Bear guess
what it's going to rise up and it's
going to be 1776 up in this [ __ ] and
are classified as an international
terrorist organization by Canada we're
Western shauvin but that essentially
means is that we're the biggest
cheerleaders for Western values Western
culture small government
maximum Freedom maximum Liberty pro-
First Amendment Pro Second Amendment
glorifying the entrepreneur venerating
the housewife we're not militaristic in
any way shape or form the fact of the
matter is you have good guys in this
world you have bad guys in this world
and the only way to stand up to the bad
guys is to fight them they came to
prominence in America in September 2020
during a presidential debate between Joe
Biden and Donald Trump suprem
right stand back and stand by when I saw
the president of the United States
telling an extremist violent
organization stand
by that was a chilling moment that was a
chilling moment for me it wasn't any
different than a president of the United
States telling Al-Qaeda or telling Isis
look I have a tough election stand by
let me tell you what you need to do did
we get a lot of notoriety absolutely of
course we did but at the very same time
it's it's not because we're racist it's
not because we're white supremacist if
we think about what the militant right
and white power movement looks like
today there are many of these groups the
specifics can change from group to group
but the overall intent is the same the
common ideology is simple uh we had
power we should have power power is
being taken away from us and by any
means necessary we can get it back
fascist groups you have National social
group you have Southern nationalist
groups you have all types of groups with
all types of Creeds but ultimately we're
all being united because we all believe
in the same thing which is ultimately
that white people have a right to exist
and whether the Wii is a white Wii will
not replace us whether the wi is an
anti-government we they're all
intertwined the more laws they pass it's
going to end up the people versus the
government right now we're being
peaceful in the future nobody knows when
that breaking Point's going M should
have hit a long time ago personally for
me a lot of people think that ah you
know these are Knuckleheads and we
shouldn't worry about them unfortunately
we said the same thing about the jihadis
prior to the events of 911 they live in
caves in Afghanistan they don't pose any
threat to the Homeland but by the time
we decided to go after them after 9/11
it was a little bit too
[Applause]
late I would like to think that we would
draw the attention of people that are
from the military with the military
background and I think it it it would be
true of like the three centers or the Y
Keepers the one thread that kind of
combines all of our groups is the US
Constitution our respect for
it and I signed up to defend this
country I was essentially joining the
3centers already the oath of enlistment
is the exact oath of a 3center I do
Solly swear I do so Solly swear that I
will support and defend the Constitution
I will support and defend the
consti of the United
States United States against all enemies
against all enemies foreign and domestic
foreign and
domestic in Atlanta I met up with 3% SF
and some of the other brothers out there
and everybody was upset about the
election you know I mean basically we're
looking at a criminal that has become
our President
illegitimately Joe Biden has already
harmed this country his son has already
harmed this country we know for a fact
that that family is a criminal family
the situation we're in is a situation of
treason the punishment for treason is
death
in America you have the right to be an
[ __ ] you have the right to have the
most pathetic views in the world I don't
have to agree with you you don't have to
agree with me but that is a right
protected by the first amendment I think
when we talk about violent extremist to
groups we're talk we're talking about
individuals that go
beyond the narrative to violence people
who are planning to attack the US
government because it's an evil empire
people who are trying to you know kill
Jews or kill immigrants or kill black
people just based on their race or on
their religion when you move away from
the narrative as
ugly as that narrative is to carry out
violence based on that narrative to
recruit individuals to carry out
violence based on that narrative then
you're a violent extremist then you're
frankly a terrorist
get get off
get we used to talk about IEDs
improvised explosive devices in Iraq and
they were incredibly lethal and what we
learned as we tried to stop this was
that the problem was not the bomb itself
the problem you had to go left of the
boom you had to go Upstream to the
problem and look at where where the
problem is coming from where's the
energy January 6th now a militia group
had stashes of guns on the outskirts of
DC ready to go on that fateful day
during the Insurrection that's just one
of the alarming allegations from the
justice department today after the feds
charged the leader steuart rhods and
several members of the right-wing group
The oathkeepers with seditious
conspiracy Stuart rhods is a former Army
paratrooper with a law degree from Yale
in 2009 he founded the oathkeepers a
shadowy organization that recruited Law
Enforcement Officers active duty
military and Veterans their mission was
to supposedly defend the US Constitution
but it quickly devolved into an armed
militia dedicated to overthrowing the US
government the founders told us more
wisdom that we must be the militia you
will not be secure you will not be free
without it it's time we resurrect that
and become the militia once again there
are thought to be 35,000 members in the
organization most of them heavily armed
and January 6th was not the first time
rhs assembled his forces at an arsenal
of weapons a state of emergency in
Louisville Kentucky after a grand jury
decided not to indict three police
officers in the shooting death of Briana
Taylor late this afternoon protesters
clashed with police
guys bring it in pay attention can't
talk and listen at the same time you're
in a military operation behave like it
overdrive is going to be bravo team and
the pawn Shop's going to be Charlie te
following the killing of bana Taylor the
oathkeepers went to Kentucky alongside
local milicia groups we here in
Louisville to protect the Shell station
and also the pawn shop across the street
and also a private residence you can't
predict unpredictable you can't predict
chaos you can't predict
stupid
be my main message is you got to get
ready and prepare yourselves and your
communities for what we see coming where
I think it's unavoidable now got too
many brainwashed Americans who' been
brainwashed by communist professors and
teachers to hate their own
country what do I want
I what do you do with someone that hates
your own country and hates you buy a
close extension if you believe in your
country still 3 2 1
go behind right
behind it's almost like you're in a
foreign country doing a stability
operation against an Insurgency one of
our guys up there is f p for vet and we
got another one that and retired stff
Ser
that's I'm not surprised that extremist
organizations try to recruit veterans
for The credibility that we bring but
also for our commitment um and that
commitment takes a lot of forms veterans
are people in our society who in many
ways have said I will do whatever is
necessary to preserve what I believe in
to preserve the Baseline values and the
Baseline existence of my Society up to
an including
violence put a scope on them take a peek
at and see if they got that's same kind
of [ __ ] they've been doing their whole
career you know now doing here inside
the United States it's kind of a weird
feeling I had two purple two purple
hearts already in a bron St they said
David only the way we'll call you back
in if the [ __ ] going to hit the f I came
home to visit my mom and press withy was
taking a shower she'd come pounding on
the door early in the morning she poting
a TV by the time second airplane hits
911 well 3 weeks later I was getting my
shots our group was the second group
that enter Afghanistan H H
[Music]
man it's
it's so enticing I mean I um God you get
to fight again you know it's um you know
you're trained in certain things you
know you can see the battlefield better
uh if you believe the country is under
attack you have a certain set of skills
that maybe you were trained uh trained
with that you can you know help the
group around you right you're a force
multiplier the quential examples of a
force multiplier are special forces Army
Green Berets you know these 12-man a
teams that actually go Behind Enemy
Lines and train up to a battalion you
know up to six or 700 local indigenous
forces on combat skills certainly I
think that's one of the reasons why some
of these extremist groups are recruiting
these individuals very deliberately into
their
movements they're [ __ ] coming
that's you need lock load ready to go
hey guys everybody spread out get eyes
open get a good perimeter
they light [ __ ] on fire we can shoot on
them right yep very [ __ ] well
hopefully they light sh on
fire when I was 21 and severely
damaged from a war that I had been lied
into and that my friends were dying for
when a guy like Stuart rhods comes along
with a Yale law degree and they see the
eye patch they don't know that he shot
himself at a range but they assume he's
a combat wounded vet and says like hey
you can support and defend the
Constitution of the United States
standing with us and just you know
repeats the words of the the the second
amendment that that's all it took for me
to be like okay you know you know you've
got the pedigree you've got the
background why should I challenge that
you I I have no basis in in experience
or education to challenge it
[Music]
they're not going to let him get
anywhere near yeah no cuz we're going to
[ __ ] pain the streets
man the challenge with having veterans
directly involved is twofold the first
is that they bring a certain expertise
they might bring in organizational
skills or military skills that can make
a movement more dangerous all right War
up let's
go the second thing that's disturbing
how ever is particularly in our society
veterans have legitimacy they have a
particular place of respect and when we
see veterans involved in something it
gives some component of legitimacy to
that
cause our command's been trying to tell
us to inform you that you are breaking
curfew right now yes sir so if you could
just go back to your
post not not by us just by we will have
to enforce
C appreciate
it
very veterans have a kind of social
cache that provides cover for a lot of
the extremist activity that these groups
are trying to do so if you turn out to a
protest with a bunch of people in
uniform much like if you turn out with a
bunch of women um you have a different
kind of reception than if you turn turn
out wearing say swastikas and hoods and
robes so when we think about this this
is along the lines of something like
choosing to come out in polo shirts and
khakis or choosing to come out in funny
Hawaiian shirts as part of bugaloo those
are deliberate decisions that are made
to create the opportunity for public
reception and the use of veterans is one
way to do this among several I've not
been a part of any militia beforehand
but once they opened up and said that
they were doing all BLM and they you
know I've seen my city on fire I I was
just like I've had enough and so I you
know I reached out to my local militia
and you know I've been with them ever
since When You're vulnerable and you're
looking for family cuz that's what the
people you serve with are they look like
they could be family they look like they
can provide you that sense of purpose
that mission that camaraderie that you
had in the
military that you became dependent on
that became the center of your identity
they could give that back to
you and when he tells you to fight you
have no reason to question that because
he's giving you purpose and he's giving
you
mission do you say the oathkeepers are
preparing for potential violence on and
around election dat yeah yeah we got our
people across the country um making
plans that there's too many of us
there's too many veterans first of all
too many freaking military veterans
that's one thing I'm not a big fan of
the war on terror that did WR a lot of
our rights one thing it did give us is a
massive pool huge pool of combat
veterans and about 95% of them are on
the conservative side or on the side of
the Constitution yeah so it's not going
to play out very
[Applause]
well and so when I look at January 6th
of course there were people who did
violence and climbed Gates and caused
trouble but in my view they were likely
the foot soldiers they were the result
of the efforts of other people there's
the man behind the curtain pushing
everybody out you know these These are
the half-cock plans the guys who go
early the people you really have to
worry about are the people you don't
even know exist until you're 2 years
into the conflict CU they're tactically
patient and they're watching you oh my
god and I still I'm absolutely stunned
that people don't see how awful January
6th was and what an indicator that is
and how it's escalating and anybody who
says that this can't happen in a worse
way either they're ignorant um or
they're part of the problem overran the
capital we're in the [ __ ] Capital bro
people shouldn't look at the
Insurrection at the capital as an
anomaly we should pay attention to the
pattern that got us there
in the name of Jesus Christ we light
this cross and as light dispels Darkness
so may his word and his example dispel
the Heathen from our midst amen
amen father son you will
conquer white the Tre
[Applause]
power we will fight we will fight there
is one American example of an
extraordinarly successful terrorist
movement and that is of course the G
Clan many people in the clan talked
about their experience as a continuation
of warfare the first wave came after the
Civil War and here we saw prominent
veterans like Nathan Bedford Forest Who
Rose to leadership of that
Clan and although it started as a
veteran social organization it very
quickly pivoted to extr Legal violence
targeted at African-Americans which
included Night rings lynchings serial
rape serial murder all of these things
were designed to create Terror in
African-American communities to control
labor pools to control local politics
and to keep African-Americans from the
polls one of the main parts of the Jim
Crow era was something that we would
think of today as election subversion
and we would see in States like Georgia
where they refuse to seat 33 State
legislatures we saw in States like
Louisiana where they refused to seat a
duly elected United States senator in
North Carolina where they held a coup to
overthrow black
leadership in
Wilmington and in Mississippi when
winning elections by fraud and violence
became increasingly difficult white
politicians turned to the state
constitution in 1890 Solomon Calhoun the
convention's president gave delegates
their marching orders we came here to
exclude the Negro nothing short of this
will answer the pole tax and literacy
tests that were written into Mississippi
Law were so effective at keeping blacks
from voting that Calhoun's strategy
became a model for the rest of the South
staying in place for almost another
century the clan managed to keep
African-Americans from voting for 100
years uh that is an astonishing
political success and it happened
because the clan was politically
powerful really well connected largely
in the Democratic party not just in the
South and was able to establish itself
as a counterpower that would stop the
emergence of new voters whether those
voters were blacks or indeed Catholics
who they didn't see as genuinely
American the next and most politically
effective wave of KKK activity came
after World War
I the second clown that emerges after
Birth of a Nation a movie that really
changes the perception of the clan that
wood Wilson as president screens in the
White House allows a new media Savvy
extreme
movement to
emerge and this is when you really saw
the group take off not just in the South
but Nationwide this is the clan that
reached a membership of some 4 million
people and 10% of the state of Indiana
they were parading in public on the
National Mall in Washington DC and the
founder of that organization had been a
veteran of the Spanish American
war it comes to head in 1924 the
Democratic party has a convention a
Madison Square Garden and the klex clan
decides that it's going to stop the
Democratic Party from condemning Clan
violence and they pretty much take over
the party and make sure that it is
running on their agenda now if you want
the optimistic story four years later
the Democratic party changes if you want
the pessimistic story a major political
party gets co-opted and taken over by a
violent insurrectionist terrorist
movement the kkk's grip on the
Democratic party soon ended but nearly
100 years later attempts to subvert free
and fair elections have not you rigged
my [ __ ] election you [ __ ] piece of
[ __ ] we're going to try you and we're
going to hang you we're talking about 50
and 60y old ladies that are just that
just been working elections their whole
life or respected leaders on on both
sides that are being inundated with some
of the worst types of threat that you
can imagine you and your family will be
killed very slowly the death threats
came by text to Trisha raffensberger
wife of Georgia Secretary of State As
Trump attacked him incessantly for
standing by the election results in
Georgia he's an enemy of the people
intimidation is a form of voter
suppression and goes hand inand with
with election subversion both in our
history and today they're trying to rig
an election and we can't let that happen
I hope you're all going to be pole
Watchers the entire pole watching
program for the Trump campaign was
called Army for Trump we need every
able-bodied man woman to join army for
Trump's election Security operation the
underlying narrative the messages that
were pushed were one of we need to go
protect and stop fraud from uh coming
into our elections it was a very
militaristic campaign to increase its
operational effectiveness Trump's Army
enlisted group group like true the vote
which had many veterans within its ranks
as a veteran we're sworn to support and
defend the Constitution my brothers and
I were willing to shed our blood on the
battlefield to protect the beliefs of
the Iraqi people so they can vote so I'm
asking you as Americans to take
involvement in this vote and the idea
that military service entitles you to
talk about protecting the Constitution
is a real problem because it gives a
level of justification these groups do
not deserve have not earned if you have
any information about ballot harvesting
in your state go to true the vote it's
called trueth vote.org and I sure I'm
sure a lot of people in this audience
saw plenty if there's always this
underlying belief that people are trying
to game this system in an unfair way
then regardless of the intent of the
people that are are are brought into
that system that default will always be
there to to police that vote and we know
that that's going to have a dis
proportionate impact on communities of
color we're trying to build an army here
that will have the confidence and and en
courage to come down in here in these
areas where we really need um po workers
this is where the fraud is occurring you
know those areas that he was pointing
out there are no allegations of any sort
of voter fraud or Shenanigans taking
place there in 2020 at all the only
thing that's known is that black and
brown people vote heavily in those areas
Harris County like the rest of the
United States has seen its percentage of
white residents decrease dramatically 50
years ago white Americans made up more
than 80% of the US population by
2044 they will be in the minority the
demographic change of the United States
away from being a white majority country
towards a multi-racial nation and a
multicultural nation is what moves it
from Simply aha my Community is becoming
multi-racial and our politics will
change because of this to we have to
stop this because if people can vote and
exercise their rights the white majority
will be
imperiled and everywhere I turn I have
been hearing from my constituents they
are deeply worried they know their
history they are witnessing what is
happening to our democracy in real time
in the aftermath of the 2020 election
Republican legislator in Georgia and 18
other states passed a slew of laws that
limited access to The Ballot Box but
what is even more disconcerting is that
these politicians in the state
legislature have already laid the tracks
to take over local Boards of Elections
control the count we can get to the same
place through bureaucratic violence as
some would say as we can get to through
actual violence and intimidation and
when you marry those two then you are in
a unique era of suppression and
anti-democratic
[Music]
efforts Heavenly Father we thank you for
this wonderful Gathering of people
that's come this afternoon Lord to
celebrate this grassroot campaign of
keeping America great we know that
there's groups today uh that have
brought Havoc to our great cities Across
America this militant Marxist groups
Lord that uh would destroy us from being
a greatness I pray against them Holy
Spirit in Jesus name and everybody said
a big old
[Applause]
amen you Joy Warriors and Patriots have
watched as your tyrannical governments
have separated you from your churches
from your schools from your Prosperity
right from your families from your
businesses but now you can fight back
cuz that's what we do we fight back all
right let off how many veterans I got in
here let me hear you
shout they're trying to make us a
socialist country
maybe they're trying to make us a
communist country
yeah I am deadly serious the next 3
years is going to determine whether we
remain a free country that's why all
over America we need people like Eric
particularly in the
[Applause]
sen he hasn't stopped fighting he's
still on the front lines and the day
after the election he said you know what
we got some serious irregularities here
we need to look into this fraud and what
did you hear from the mainstream media
over and over again they said oh that's
just crazy you can't do that you can't
say that there's any fraud in the
election well I'm proud to tell you I'm
the only person in this race from
Missouri who went down to the front
lines in Arizona myself to look at the
election audit and they need to audit
the whole election they go on at the
whole
election Eric G is a highly decorated
former Navy SEAL and a road scholar he
grew up as a Democrat and after leaving
the service wrote several best-selling
books about humanitarianism strength and
compassion is a book of photographs and
essays from eight different countries
where I did International humanitarian
work and documentary photography he also
co-founded the influential veteran
nonprofit the mission continues
everybody's home sleeping we're out here
working the mission continues man our
belief at the mission continues was that
every single veteran who was coming home
was an asset and that they could all
live lives of purpose and dignity and
meaning here at home in 2015 he became
the Republican governor of Missouri but
resigned less than two years later in
the wake of a sex and fundraising
scandal in 2021 he began his campaign
for the US Senate when I took the oath
to serve in the United States military I
took an oath to defend the Constitution
against all enemies
foreign and
domestic and
domestic and folks let's be clear we
have a fight on our hands for this
country and we're here to let the
mainstream media know and let the left
know and the establishment know and let
the Rhinos know that we are going to win
and we're taking back our country
we are taking back
our this is our country and we are
taking it
back there's a Cadre of Iraq and
Afghanistan era veterans who were
trained in Elite military units who went
to Elite schools he plus we're with you
all the way who know better and over the
last few years
have seen Trump's rise to power and
rather than be disgusted by it because
it goes against all of our values they
don't live by those values and you went
from high school to the Marines yeah the
good the great thing about the Marine
Corps is that they really force you to
shape up I I like to describe it as a
four-year character education because
they teach you not just you know how to
iron a uniform but they teach you about
financial management they teach you how
to make your bed they teach you a lot of
the skill sets that you need to be a
successful adult JD Vance is a former
Marine like Stuart rhods he graduated
from Yale law school and like Eric gron
he's a best-selling author who was once
a darling of the New York Times are
there commonalities between poor whites
poor blacks poor Latinos absolutely
there are things that are shared across
across different groups and I think that
we should take some inspiration for it
from it some recognition that that we
are sort of in this together in 2016 he
called Donald Trump an idiot I'm a never
Trump guy I never liked him and
suggested that he could be an American
Hitler but four years later he changed
his tune when he launched his campaign
for Ohio senate seat I wasn't always
nice but the simple fact is he's the
best president of my lifetime and he
revealed the corruption in this country
like nobody else JD Vance a few years
ago I think a lot of people across
political Spectrum had a lot of respect
for him but now we see him pretending to
be an idiot are you a racist do you hate
Mexicans I think it's ridiculous that
we're focused on this Border in Ukraine
uh I don't I got to be honest with you I
don't really care what happens to
Ukraine one way or another a guy like
Eric gon or a guy like JD Vance they
didn't internalize any of the morals
that are supposed to be instilled in US
during our training things like Valor
and honor and respect
striking fear in the hearts of liberals
everywhere
folks they understand when they're lying
they understand when they're fueling
hatred I say it all the time right I
think the election was stolen from Trump
and technology companies would not let
us talk about the fact that Joe Biden is
is the leader of the world's biggest
crime family and they recognize that
they need to do it in order to achieve
power part of the problem for the young
veteran too is that some of these
manipulative voices are former high
ranking military leaders General Michael
[Applause]
[Music]
Flynn so when you hear somebody who held
sway over you when you were in uniform
and now they're out and they're still
commanding that respect that that has
just such a strong purpose Trump
won he
[Applause]
[Music]
won he he won he won the popular vote he
won the popular vote and he won the
Electoral College vote ah you know
Flynn's Flynn's a character he's
something special you know it's comes a
little bit from the camaraderie of of
being a military person I can look at
Flynn and I can see that he's he's got
some really really deep love for this
country and respect for it and he does
respect his oath I am not a conspiracy
theorist I I base my life on facts and
judgment and what I believe is right for
this country for this country period
Flynn has been exposing truth left and
right and that's what makes him one of
the most dangerous men in
America Michael Flynn is a retired US
Army three-star General his specialty
was Military Intelligence is it trusted
you know the intelligence Community
wants to you know validate the sources
of information that we have in order to
make it to to ensure that it's
believable reliable relevant and the
teams he LED were notoriously effective
in rooting out insurgencies in Iraq and
Afghanistan for over a decade in 2012 he
was nominated by Barack Obama to be the
director of the defense intelligence
agency Mike Flynn brings to this
position Decades of experience in
Military
Intelligence his knowledge of the 21st
century Battlefield is
unsurpassed but 3 years later the
one-time Democrat had become an avid
supporter of cand date
Trump lock her up that's
right yeah that's right lock her up and
would soon become president Trump's
National Security adviser but just 22
days into his term Trump fired him for
lying about his interactions with Russia
the evolving and eroding level of trust
as a result of this situation is what
led the president to ask for General
Flynn's
resignation and general Flynn would soon
enter a plea deal with the FBI his
prison sentence was under review when
Trump pardoned him in December 2020 less
than a month before leaving
office Mike Flynn and I served together
for many years and we very close friends
I
disagree with him
politically I am
disappointed by the nature of the the
comments that he makes the calls to
action this is one of our top quality
guns and maybe I'll find somebody in
Washington
[Laughter]
DC disgraced former General Michael
Flynn convicted felon he uses General
like it's his first name I'm his
Facebook friend his Facebook name is Jen
Flynn on telegram he's General
Flynn he's using his rank as part of his
identity and and he has adopted the
radical fascist politics of Maga and of
Kon where we go one we go all we go one
we go all God Bless America to build
himself up as a leader for an Insurgency
against the people of the United States
this country is awake this is soil that
we have fought over and we will fight
for in the future he could take military
capabilities and he could place them in
those States and basically rerun an
election in each of those States clearly
his military experience influences some
people to give him
legitimacy that he might not otherwise
have I'm a simple Marine I want to know
why what happened in minimar can't
happen
here no reason I mean it should happen
here no reason right that's right
Flynn's apparent endorsement of a
military coup is not the only time the
former military intelligence officer has
has planted ideas about the illegitimacy
of the federal government and its
partners in crime well he doesn't need
any introduction on this Friday January
28th broadcast he's General Flynn and of
course a embattled individual in the
fight for this Republic all these Global
organizations they see themselves as
this is how we can control societies
this is how we can control Humanity so
let's introduce something called covid
and they did it and they did it for for
a couple of reasons one of the big
reasons was was to steal an election
they have an intent to have a new world
order they have an intent to track every
single one of us and they use it under
the skin they use a means by which it's
under the skin Dr foui would be right in
right in there in the same room with
people like Dr Mangal and Dr zel who
worked for the Nazis at the time of uh
of of Hitler's all of Hitler's
experimentation on human beings the
reality is as you learn the ability to
lead whether it's military or not you
learn the ability to get people to do
stuff and that's just what he's doing we
are in a crucible moment in the history
of the United States of America we're
fighting with faith we're fighting with
courage and nothing can resist the power
of prayer he perverts this military
experience this religious experience to
evoke this kind of feeling of a higher
purpose the oppression that they have
used with this virus is an Abomination
to
Freedom there is no righteousness on
their side the Lord is not on their side
he is on
ours that's right we will not go
silently in to the
night we will
fight we are making our lists and we are
checking them twice and we are finding
out
W who is the enemy of
America people that are creating the
oppression in this country the people
that are involved with tearing down our
freedoms our liberties and the value of
what we hold dear in this country need
to be placed on list people like Dr
fouchy that have constantly in his life
caused death destruction illness and
horrible things they have to be put on
these list they have to be put out of
our society all together and never be
trusted again now if someone ends
up attacking these people that have been
found to be an enemy of the United
States and they're
criminals I'm not going to shed a tear
about
it come in good
boy when I left the military I was a
hardcore Republican was libertarian like
a lot of people in the
military I was looking at like I can't
even call them documentaries but these
YouTube videos like uh this movie
Zeitgeist you had better wake up and
understand that there are people who are
guiding your life and you don't even
know it now that I study extremism I
recognize it's filled with anti-semitic
tropes the theme of the movie without
explicitly saying it is that Jewish
people people were out there controlling
the banks and the banks are the reasons
why we go into Wars so therefore the
Jews are responsible for my friends
dying right that's the connection that
it's trying to make the ultimate goal is
to get everybody in this world chipped
with the with the RFID chip and uh have
all money be on those chips and
everything on those chips and if anybody
wants to protest what we do or violate
what we want we just turn off that chip
I just absorbed this propaganda and fell
for it fell into it I was watching Alex
Jones before anyone knew what his name
was I mean now they're openly bragging
it's world government and they run it
Tucker Carlson was back on MSNBC and
Glen Beck it's all connected these
people down here are radicals and all of
these Concepts started to fit together
and feed this narrative this this idea
that I had felt but couldn't put words
to for so long that I was the victim not
just of circumstance but of some sort of
Nefarious group of powerful individuals
ual who were manipulating all of us and
and that everyone was just acting as
puppets you know what people now call
the Deep state but we were
awake and it was our job to wake
everybody else
up who's the
Patriot video
[Music]
ladies and gentlemen prepare for the
strong
mag yep
that's there's a lot there they flashed
photos of the pyramid on our dollar
bills they showed a picture of George
Soros they talked about the World Bank
everything's Incorporated these are all
things that I didn't understand when I
was watching my propaganda videos uh
back in 2007 2008 but man I mean it's
like they just took notes off of the
[ __ ] that had me all confused and crazy
back then and the
second these groups have always operated
on a Playbook of using prevailing social
context to mobilize people recruit and
radicalize the 20s Clan was anti-black
and anti-jewish but it was also
anti-mexican near the border anti- labor
in the Pacific Northwest anti-immigrant
in the Northeast where there were a lot
of immigrants what it did was figure out
what the prevailing social tensions were
in a given community and use those to
recruit people for its own purposes
the prevailing feeling among a host of
veterans returning from Vietnam was that
they had been stabbed in the back by an
ungrateful Society their own feckless
government and the media Elite well it
seems now more certain than ever that
the bloody experience of Vietnam is to
end in a stalemate it made them ripe
recruits for a new conspiracy fueled
wave of violent extremism aimed at
rooting out the Enemy Within the Cubans
are coming in by the thousands the
Mexicans are coming in by the millions
the the Haans are coming in from haia or
wherever the that little [ __ ] country
is coming in by the hundreds of
thousands white people have had enough
they can no longer even afford to buy
proper housing for themselves yet our
government would have us spend thousands
and thousands of millions of dollars on
non whites they've had enough one of the
key figures in the white power movement
after the Vietnam War and one of the
architects of its move to sell style
terrorism to using the earling internet
and to a number of other major changes
that fueled its rise is a veteran named
LS beam the only thing that's it
imported tonight is Will America be
white 100 years from tonight and if so
will you commit yourself to the battle
to make it so Lewis beam served two
tours in Vietnam as a helicopter Gunner
and came home in 1968 with multiple
medals for bravery in combat says that I
use great professional skill and courage
in the face of great personal danger
that hasn't changed at all in my opinion
presently I'm having to use utmost skill
and I think it does take courage to to
do what I'm doing and I'm doing it in
the face of the enemy that's time the
enemy goes under a different name beam
took the skills he honed in the military
and brought them to the KKK where he
rose to Grand Dragon of the Texas
Knights I had been paid by the
government $300 a month to fight and
kill companies to execute them whatever
term you want to
use uh in Vietnam and what is the
difference between Vietnam and Houston
Texas but a few thousand
[Applause]
miles one of the reasons that beam Rose
so quickly in these organizations is
that he told a story about Warfare and
Trauma that a lot of their people were
mobilized by including people who didn't
serve I saw a young man about 19 years
old ENT traed in a armored personnel
carrier
in about 22 Mi Northeast of s
gun with his legs pinned beneath the
seat as a result of a a rocket propell
grenade and he stayed on the
radio kep asking for help
asking us
to come get
him so his argument was about the
wrongness of war the horror of seeing
casualties in the field the horror of
losing your fellow soldiers but his
pivot was this is why we should come
back to the United States and bring that
violence home to everybody who left us
there our mission is a reconnaissance
Patrol we have information that the
enemy is in the
area the Jews have assumed leadership of
the federal government they totally
control it and they're controlling us
thly the government that's in Washington
DC today does not represent the interest
of the white people therefore we will
replace them with people who will
represent the ideals of white Wester
Christian
civilization how are we going to replace
them by any means necessary we want the
heads of the enemies in our toe sacks in
Vietnam they took ears we're going to
take
heads beam's rhetoric and Military
exercises eventually got the attention
of the FBI and in 1983 he left Texas for
Hayden Lake Idaho a Haven for white
supremacists he joined forces with Aryan
Nations and began to command a cell
style terrorist movement of white power
activists the idea was that one or a few
white power activists could work
together towards a commonly held set of
goals and targets but without
prosecutable ties between them and
without direct ties to movement
leadership but there was a problem the
cells which were spread across the
country and into Canada still needed to
communicate with each other and even
when the FBI wasn't listening on their
phones beam wanted to do more than talk
he wanted to share ideas and create
networks so they created a social
network called Liberty net and one of
the first postings was titled online for
God and
[Music]
Country and then Louis beam traveled
around the country teaching people how
to go online these message boards
included assassination lists and
ideological content and who you should
hate and why but they also included
social network content like personal
ads and this was in 1984 885 way before
most people think about farri online
activism decades before Facebook can't
beat the with this day using this early
form of the internet clansmen skinheads
neo-nazis and other extremist groups
banded together to commit a series of
heinous robberies bombings and murders
across the country and since we're all
racists since we're all the radical
right and that's a crime in America when
you have to do the time don't regret the
crime we'll be at the Forefront of the
fight doing what uh hopefully uh
smashing the uh skulls of Communists or
uh executing race Traders or uh shooting
on site anybody we don't think is white
we have to get our government back
that's what it's all about all these
so-called subversive groups are nothing
but patriotic citizens trying to do just
that by 1985 the department of Justice
came to believe that the network of
white power cells Behind These crimes
represented a serious threat to National
Security Lewis beam has been charged
with seditious conspiracy along with 13
other
individuals Mr Bean did you plan to
overthrow the government what else is a
country boy going to do on Saturday
night when the only drug store in Town's
closed but the trial was a disaster for
the government a stunning verdict is
afternoon in the trial of 13 white
supremacists among charges they faced
conspiracy to overthrow the government
of the United States the verdicts from
the all-white jury came on the fourth
day of deliberations beam and his
codefendants were acquitted on all
charges the humiliating outcome led the
doj to focus their attention on
individual criminals and abandon
investigations of the white power
movement as a domestic terrorist threat
the catastrophic Legacy of leaderless
resistance
has been that we as a public have lost
sight of this Movement we don't have any
domestic terrorism legislation we don't
have domestic terrorism laws for example
the number one tool um FBI agents and
prosecutors use to disrupt terrorist
attacks in the United States is material
support material support is basically a
charge to levy on individuals who are
helping a terrorist organization or a
ENT organization unfortunately we don't
have that when it comes to domestic
terrorist
organizations the problem with this
situation is when you don't have
domestic terrorism laws you need an act
to happen you need a hot body in order
to start an investigation and usually
you can charge that individual with hate
a crime or with other charges but you
cannot charge them with terrorism you
cannot go after the whole network holy
cow about a third of the building has
been blown away is just
devastating get back get back a massive
Car Bomb exploded outside of a large
Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma
City shattering that building Killing
Children Killing federal employees
military men and civilians even Timothy
McVey he blew up a whole Federal
Building and prosecutors could not
charge him or his associates with
terrorism the bombing of Oklahoma City
in 1995 was the largest deliberate mass
casualty event on American soil between
Pearl Harbor and 911 but most people
still don't understand what that event
was and what it meant the indictment
charges that Timothy McVey and Terry
Nichols former Army buddies with a
grudge against the government planned
the bombing selected McVey and Nichols
met each other through their service
they trained together at Fort Riley
Kansas before McVey deployed to the gulf
as part of Big Red One infantry unit in
Iraq there he seems to have experienced
some amount of traumatic combat before
their return
home after washing out his special
forces he was really angry and we see at
that moment his deepening involvement in
radical white power
[Music]
activity ranging from mcvey's connection
to the Michigan militia the federal
government itself is the child of the
armed citizen we the people are the
parent of the child we call government
in short the federal government needs a
good spanking to make it behave his
contact and attempted contact with
groups like the Arizona Patriots and the
National Alliance and his written belief
in white power principles that were
published in his hometown newspaper
McVey used his military training to help
carry out the Oklahoma City bombing and
in a letter to a friend he invoked his
military oath to to justify it I have
sworn to uphold and defend the
Constitution against all enemies foreign
and domestic and I will blood will flow
in the streets good versus evil free men
versus socialist wannabe slaves pray
it's not your blood my friend the other
key component here was his use of the
Turner Diaries at gun shows Timothy
McVey would hand out copies of the
Turner Diaries a dystopian novel that
details how to top the US government the
fictional revolutionaries start by
blowing up a federal building and then
proceed to exterminate their political
enemies including all Jews blacks and
Latinos the Turner Diaries became
enormously important to this movement
not because it's a good book but because
it provides the imaginative answer to a
really important question which is how
can a tiny group of people a small
Fringe movement do what they're setting
out to do in this period which is to
overthrow the most militarized
superstate in world history in 1997
McVey was convicted of murdering 168
people using a weapon of mass
destruction and blowing up a federal
building no domestic terrorism charges
were brought however because he and
Nicholls were thought to have acted
alone just imagine if Timothy mcvey's
name was Muhammad we will look at that
terrorism threat in a very different
length first of all we will look at it
as a terrorist threat we will go after
McVey we will go after all the people
who are helping him or who are assisting
him we will keep the investigation going
in order to get the whole network and
when you are very limited with the tools
uh you are using these groups will take
benefits from it these are not lone
wolves these are people who are united
by ideology by social ties by selection
of targets these are all part of the
same movement and this is really what
we're seeing continuing into our present
day
moment tonight the plot to kidnap a
governor foiled by the
[Music]
FBI in October 2020 less than a month
before the presidential election 14 men
were arrested in a plot to kidnap
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer their
plans included storming the state
capital using zip ties to take hostages
and conducting a trial that would result
in a public hanging of the governor the
suspects were all members of The
Wolverine Watchman a paramilitary group
commanded by a former Marine that had
ties to the Michigan militia prosecutors
contend that they wanted to kidnap her
to try to ignite another American Civil
War before the 2020 election in hopes of
disrupting it and perhaps keeping Joe
Biden from becoming president but
Federal prosecutors could not charge any
of the conspirators with material
support and despite having amount
mountain of evidence laid out against
them at trial the group's leader Adam
Fox telling the informant he was
inspired by Oklahoma City Bombing
terrorist Timothy McVey telling the
informant if we can't have our world
they can't have theirs Burning It Down
Like Lewis beam before them if we can't
have this country nobody gets it that
clear we'll be total ashes everywhere
none of the defendants were convicted on
federal charges the goals of this
Insurgency in Michigan were to take over
the state house and then to kidnap and
execute the governor the goal of the
Insurgency on January 6 was to overturn
the results of a democratic election so
if we see this as part of a movement
it's to stop the American people being
able to choose their own leaders an
Insurgency is all about seizing control
of a government not through winning an
election not through Democratic
processes not through persuasion but
through violence it's an it's a form of
War USA USA USA
coward
tra if you look at January 6th what
we're looking at is really the Collision
of three different streams of Activity
one is the organized white power
movement that is coming off of decades
if not generations of organizing
Armament training and ideological
content they want to know what the
orange has stand for [ __ ] proud boy
another is kinon which is newer more
radical works very fast where we go one
we go all and the final one the biggest
one is simply the Trump Bas TR Trum Trum
Trum it's clear to me that what you had
was a concerted effort by a number of
different organizers do you want your
house back take it to take these various
groups together and focus their energies
into create a critical mass and that's
not new
in Iraq when al-Qaeda in Iraq emerged it
really came led by a guy named Abu
musaba zwi he traveled around the
country had a Charisma to him and he
portrayed this hey I'm not your normal
political leader we are going to show
the kind of commitment that real men
would
do and al-Qaeda in Iraq which was very
extreme ideologically started to be
joined by people who weren't natural
bedfellows people go finally someone
who's not going to put up with the crap
someone who's going to take the law into
their own hands and going to get us what
we deserve because we have been
exploited by the elites of the region
I think Abu masab Bazar kawi and Donald
Trump both understand that you can
inflame those passions it is where the
leader takes those frustrations that
becomes potentially disastrous grievance
narratives are made up they're
constructed narratives but they are used
by demagogues because they work and if
you have a political party that is
organized around grievance around a
sense of loss and a sense of threat you
have the basis for the ideology that
will promote violence we gathered
together at the heart of our nation's
capital for one very very basic and
simple reason to save our democracy
we're going to walk down to the
capital and we're going to cheer on our
brave senators and congressmen and women
and we're probably not going to be
cheering so much for some of
them because you'll never take back our
country with weakness you have to show
strength and you have to be
[Applause]
strong DC is a [ __ ] war
zone this what
we the siege of the capital on January
6th did not overturn the results of the
2020 election but that's not the only
measure by which the actions of that day
are being judged there's footage of
proud boys directing journalists to read
the Turner
Diaries Read The Turner
Diaries on January 6th the Turner
Diaries was structuring a lot of sort of
the imaginative performative action of
that day the news hung outside the
capital refers to events in the Turner
Diaries called The Day of the Rope which
is the hanging of race Traders which
include politicians
[Applause]
[Music]
my and significantly there is a strike
on the capital that is not supposed to
be a mass casualty attack in the Turner
Diaries it's a mortar attack it's meant
to be simply the selected killing of a
few corrupt legislators in order to show
other white people that extremists can
strike at the heart of American power
yeah
yeah yeah we did it we did it [ __ ]
did it yo take laptops paperwork take
everything all that [ __ ] my friend my
friend sitting
in and by that measure I think that they
succeeded Donald Trump tweeted out a
video he said we did a good [ __ ]
job January 6 was a huge success for
them January 6 inspired so many people
not only here in the United States but
even in Europe that violence is a way to
change the government is a way to change
that
establishments in the western world that
they consider corrupt they considered
evil uh they considered that these
governments are nothing but tools to the
Jews or to whatever conspiracy they
believe
in you believe the rich people in the
world are using this disease and it's
exaggerating it to create some sort of
apocalyptic nightmare right you think
it's common sense that we all have to
stay inside and be afraid of the
[Applause]
air you look at January 6th I think the
people that were there that participate
in it number one they wanted it to serve
as a wakeup call to those people who are
Empower and the fact of the matter is
every single person that was there that
day is a patriot of this nation y Randy
maybe you want to put the beers inside
the the the the bridge maybe you want to
get off being a patriot being a person
that loves their country especially you
know being a military veteran you take
an oath to the Constitution and for a
lot of those people that were there that
day they felt that their constitution
was being shredded up our democracy was
being shredded right in front of our
eyes I think it's absolutely
heartbreaking to see veterans involved
in these things and I know for a lot of
them that their hearts are in in some
ways in the right place we just don't
live in the same world of truth
[Music]
anymore the people in DC they were
Americans yeah and they were patriots
they only broke laws because the DC
police didn't do their
job okay okay that's it people died
because they didn't do their
job so they broke into the Capital
because DC police didn't do their job
the DC police they didn't break into
anything they let them in not only did
they let them in it's paid for by tax
dollars it's their [ __ ]
property easy sorry this is the lethal
danger of the big election lie right
it's this is a conspiracy theory that
says the very heart of American
political life the very heart of our
democracy has been destroyed and taken
from us which leaves us what recourse do
I believe the election was stolen
absolutely without a doubt there's no
way in hell Joe Biden was elected 81
million votes for Joe Biden I don't
think so we're in a situation right now
where you know we can't trust our
elections anymore we know that so what
really is scary is is that what will the
people do what will the average American
do when they finally wake up to the
reality of all this and the answer to
that is we don't know we have no idea
what the American people will do this no
longer is a constitutional republic and
we are going to fight to bring our
constitutional republic back again we've
had violent domestic extremist
organizations for a long time but I
think what makes this moment
particularly dangerous there are a
couple of things the first one is the
fact that it's able to ride on a wave of
conspiracy thinking and general
distrust that's happening because of
social media Technologies it's happening
because of the way we we've structured
our society on the internet that gives
them the sheer numbers of people that
they could never dream of of bringing to
bear on their own everybody's got to put
their shoulder to the wheel we need
participation 24/7 we need you to be a
force multiplier as a soldier and as a
as a uh as a general as a retired
General we have an army of digital
soldiers if you can do command and
control over social media and you're
fighting against evil and you're on the
side of God and you're on the side of
the United States in your oath it's a
very attractive proposition
the sad part is is you're using all
those skills and that goodness and that
purity of heart that you think is
actually absolute unadulterated
[ __ ] the second major difference is
you have political cover from the very
top the only way we're going to lose
this election is if the election is
rigged remember that January 6 was the
culmination of two months of a
propagation of a big lie and of
conspiracy theories by the president of
the United States 20 thirds of House
Republicans go along with Trump and vote
to overturn the electors on the evening
of January 6th we a United States
Senator and members of the House of
Representatives object to the counting
of the electoral votes of the state of
Pennsylvania Madam speaker I Rise to
support the objection Madam speaker I
Rise to support the objection Madam
speaker I Rise to support the objection
Madam chair I vigorously support this
objection and I in a vote that has
always been thought to be ceremonial and
minister IAL where you accept the
Electoral College results which were in
no serious way contested I mean that's
almost as astounding as what happened in
terms of the Insurrection how can so
many people believe that it was unfair
it was because their president said it
was unfair their Senator said it was
unfair their member of Congress said it
was unfair a full audit is absolutely
necessary we should get injunctions if
necessary and normally those are people
that the electric can have faith in I
Rise for myself and 60 of my colleag to
object to the counting of the Electoral
ballots from Arizona is the objection in
writing and signed by a
senator yes it is it
is but it is not just the big lie that
appears to have captured much of the
Republican Party Congressman Denver rlan
lost his party's nomination over the
weekend the first term Congressman was
ousted by former Liberty University
employee Bob good
getting run out of the Republican party
was really interesting I believe I was
the first one that was affected by Q
conspiracy theories when I didn't even
know
it I had conducted a same-sex wedding in
summer of 2019 two guys who had worked
for me or volunteered and then I started
hearing these weird things I'm funded by
George Soros I'm a secret Jew I'm a
secret Dem I'm trying to change the
sexual orientation of children I'm a
tool of the Antichrist and I'm hearing
all this I'm like this is sounds like
New World Order crazy stuff you know the
anti-semitic
tropes you had better wake up and
understand that there are people then I
started doing my own research and I'm
pretty good at it and uh I saw some of
the same patterns that you saw with
foreign terrorists you know and when you
chased Isis or alada or IED resupply
from Iraq into Iran you know i' I've
seen some things and uh what I saw was
that people were using language uh in
the open that I I thought we would never
see As Americans my two decades of
intelligence War fighting and
counterterrorism experience coupled with
serving in the 116th Congress is why I
will not allow conspiracy peders to
hijack our ability to conduct reasonable
policy discussions for the betterment of
all Americans I was pretty much drummed
out and censured for following the law
and trying to save this country and uh
I'm not I don't think I'm overstating
that if one of our two parties is
committed to an orwellian whitewashing
of hist history if you didn't know the
TV footage was a video from January the
6th you would actually think it was a
normal tourist visit is committed to
propagating or at least not quarreling
with a big lie uh the big lie the big
lie is a lot of [ __ ] that's what it
is is committed to not quarreling much
with conspiracy theories is committed to
purging those Republicans at the state
and local level and at the national
level who want to fight back against the
lies and the conspiracy theories that's
a big
deal war is literally the continuation
of politics by other violent means our
military forces are the part of our
society that carries out that peace then
we come home and the question is do we
have a political system that functions
or are we at a point where our own
politics the politics inside our own
communities the politics inside our own
country can only be continued through
other means and we got to be very
careful because if you think you have
support from the highest levels of
government
why aren't you fighting for your country
aren't you already sort of sworn in to
do this the issue is is that the people
that we are identifying as extremists
they're identifying as Patriots or
Freedom Fighters and that is it almost
sounds like I'm talking about terrorism
right
now one of the organizations that I'm
particularly interested in uh as the
Patriot front for the of our nation
Liberty of our people liy for the
victory of the American Spirit Victory
they're producing what they refer to as
propaganda they're studying books on
fascism because they believe democracy
has failed and their vision for the
future is a dominant white race that has
captured the Republican party and has
defeated their political opponents by
violence or by
exclusion these guys showed up in
Philadelphia on the 4th of July 2021 and
assaulted a bunch of
people nothing came of it cuz the local
cops didn't know what the hell were they
were dealing with so this is a fascist
gang who's
operating all around the country police
and say they prevented a possible
domestic terror attack over the weekend
31 men were arrested all dressed alike
allegedly on their way to wreak haveit
at a pride event in the city of cordelan
cordelan is just a few miles north of
Hayden Lake and the Patriot front
following in the footsteps of Lewis beam
had made it a base of operations and in
the same way Denver WLAN had been
targeted by qanon for officiating a gay
wedding Q's rhetoric casting the LG B
btq Community as groomers and pedophiles
helped put them squarely in the sights
of the white nationalist Patriot front
while the proud boys the oathkeepers the
3centers are a threat the ones that I'm
really afraid of are the Gen Z ones the
service members who have served during a
time of relative peace these young
people who joined to fight never got a
chance to fight and who starting in
conservative Echo Chambers online have
been brought into the proud boy to
fascist pipeline so
gab is an alternative social media
platform that was created to be a safe
space for
neo-nazis one of the groups on here is
the national Justice party this is a
Neo-Nazi party within the United States
whose goal is to use protests to
radicalize Trump supporters into
explicit
white
supremacy they're developing new and
original propaganda that paint them in a
light of achieving the power the ability
to shape politics and engage in violence
in a way that they thought they were
going to get from the military they
understand how to recruit people into
that lifestyle so right here this is an
Italian Maye
frgo uh I don't care that was the slogan
of of the fascist party under
melini so what they're trying to do is
make white nationalism look like it's
testosterone filled way to be a man I
believe that these Young Veterans who
getting out and joining things like
patriate front and nationalist socialist
club and the word Nazi is nationalist
socialist I think that the Republican
party is is you know more than capable
of adopting that IDE ideology in a way
that that's unfathomable even to me you
know I I never saw us where we are today
I I think another four years things
could be far
worse I think the worst case scenario is
probably worse than most of us want to
imagine I could see a civil war because
this is the same movement we've been
dealing with this whole time it's
reasonable to assume that what we can
see is only about half of the activity
that there is an underground that is in
violent action training in camps trying
to accumulate weapons and preparing for
violence when you talk about Civil War
or specific sectors of the country that
could go kinetic just go to these areas
where you see the first big far-left
protest when Republicans take back the
house boom if there's anybody out there
from antifa our black lives matters
spend your first [ __ ] bullet up my
chest okay or if Republicans think that
one of the state elections were stolen
boom forget right in your legislators
you got to do something it's it's We the
People you're going to have to take my
life there's no way I'll die on this
hill there's no way no way all of this
can happen who's to say that if a
legislation came down where we l our
Second Amendment tomorrow that that
wouldn't start a civil war to be honest
with you I don't know of any veteran
that wants wool in this country but at
the very same time when you look back to
what our founding fathers wanted for
this country we are so far away from
that today it's just something they're
ready for and their gun safe is full
if you're prepared you're prepared and
if you're not you're not if you're armed
then you're somewhat prepared to defend
your family and yourself if you're not
armed you're dog
meate there's imminent Civil War if we
don't fix our elections and actually
make them Bonafide again we don't have
2024 there is no
2024 but it is the election of 2024 that
opens up a different front one that is
potenti as dangerous as a violent Civil
War there are people in this movement
who believe that the nation cannot be
saved as it is and must be overthrown in
order to make way for a white ethnostate
and then there are probably people in
this movement who think aha there's an
opening here to run for office and mount
a sort of coup from inside in order to
change the very nature of the nation you
know I worry about scenarios in which
you know in 2024 uh one party controls
Congress the other party wins a
presidential election Congress refuses
to certify the election the Republican
party has a pretty systematic plan to
have state legislator impose themselves
much more directly into the
certification of electors to perhaps
also suppress some democratic votes
along the way so I do think the chances
of a real attempt to overturn a
legitimate election results are not
nothing and they're not tiny and then
somebody as president or people that are
elected that aren't do aren't there in a
in a legal way and then that's when The
Descent happens and that's the end of
our country and our legal norms and that
scares the hell out of me this country
you as individuals with the individual
liberties and individual rights that you
have you need to start assuming risk for
your neighborhoods and your communities
in your towns you have to get involved
General Flynn's ultimate plan is to
undermine democracy is to get his
digital soldiers to radicalize the rest
of the Republican base go run for dog
catcher if you don't like this who's
running your school board go run for the
school board if you don't like who's
running your little town or your little
Parish go get involved if Flynn can
convince his followers to push enough
good people out of government they'll
beat us into submission I don't want
guys like disgraced former General
Michael Flynn to be deciding who's an
American and who's not General Flynn do
you believe the violence on January 6th
was justified I said I I said because
their movement is about excluding others
it's not about the will of the people
it's about suppressing opposition it's
about power General Flynn do you believe
in the peaceful transition of power in
the United States of
America that's fa this is how countries
Fall Apart part of my experience as a
veteran and as somebody who's worked
with refugees and done human rights work
I know what happens when the center
cannot hold and a and a society falls
apart I know what happens when your
ethnic Identity or your in-group
outgroup membership becomes a life and
death issue and when Neighbors start
killing each other I've seen it and
whatever your Twitter bravado about the
next civil war is nobody wants to see
that I mean that is the road to Hell the
very worst case scenario is that we
slide to
authoritarians that we are not able to
climb out of this we have seen this
happen over and over and over again in
other countries we have seen them fight
back against the first wave and not be
ready for the second and not be ready
for the third this is a this is going to
take a long time and it's going to take
everything we have to make sure that our
democracy is still standing at the end
of it I hope that people are [ __ ]
scared because being scared motivates
people and I I want you to be scared by
what's true and I want you to look at
evidence I you to think critically and
do everything within your power and
within the uh confines of of the law to
make sure that we don't live in that
dystopian future that could just be a
few years
away I went to my son's grave site and I
just felt so helpless it made me angry
that my son's sacrifice almost felt like
it was in vain now I've refocused and I
had to take a look at it I had to do a
lot of soul searching to understand that
that's not the case
[Music]
case and this fight is not over it's far
from over and it may never be over but
his sacrifice is not in
vain my service service of everyone else
of all Americans regardless of your wore
a uniform as long as you got up in the
morning you just try to do the right
thing it's not in vain what if every
Young American did national service for
a year maybe in uniform but not
necessarily what if they didn't in
health care conservation education how
would they feel about each other at the
end of that by experience we know you
almost always feel different more
tightly you break down many of your
preconceived prejudices against other
groups trust starts to
build in
2013 I first applied to my local
Community
College having had my military
experience turn turn out so negative
I'll be honest my confidence was
destroyed and I was like terrified of
registering for classes because I was
terrified of failure and I went over the
course of my first semester at Nassau
Community College fulfilling a lot of
bad stereotypes about veterans you know
coming in having my headphones on having
my hoodie over my head kind of just like
sitting down not talking to anybody not
engaging and a group of student veterans
at my Community College identified that
that recognized that it was a problem
and helped to break me up my
shell I went from being that guy who
doesn't talk to anybody and sits in the
corner to being elected to represent all
of the student Veterans of my school
student Veterans of Nassau is a chapter
of student Veterans of America it's a
National Organization focused on
basically easing people in the
transition from combat to college to
careers one of the things that the
veteran Center does is it allows for us
to kind of get back into an environment
that we're familiar with it gives us a
sense of camaraderie that we really miss
from the military it's not something
that happened overnight but it set me on
the path towards recovery and rather
than feel like the future was
predetermined by these powerful groups
and that there was nothing that I could
do in fight against them I started to
accept the idea of maybe the truth is
somewhere in the middle and because most
of my interactions with the outside
world were in person person to person I
wasn't as easily able to seek out an
echo chamber that didn't challenge my
opinions that only reinforced my beliefs
that diversity of opinion is what kept
me from you know joining the oathkeepers
when it first sprang up that helped to
break me out of
it a lot of veterans getting out they
don't have that opportunity we're in a
different
world in this new world our troops have
to be trained to not only defend
themselves against a Chinese sniper or a
Russian
tank but against enemy disinformation
campaigns on the Internet it's also true
that disinformation is not just coming
from China and Russia we know how to
combat malicious misinformation we did a
pretty good job teaching soldiers and
citizens how to not fall for Nazi
propaganda we did a pretty good job
teaching soldiers citizens how to not
fall for communist propaganda all
through the Cold
War the problem with that of course is
that you know opposition to the Nazis
was a goal shared by both political
parties in America opposition to the
Soviet Union was a goal shared by most
across the political Spectrum in America
right now this conflict you know it's
far too partisan it's far too divisive
and it's far too politicized we know how
to do this but it takes unity and this
is a layer cake of problems this is
something that does not just exist at a
DOD policy level this is about how
journalists talk about the movement how
our laws prosecute the movement how our
national leaders direct their time and
attention we know that there is a lack
of political will to establish or to
create a domestic terrorism law yet I
think there is a big possibility that we
can designate these groups as
International terrorist organizations so
what that means we can take all the
rules the laws the authorities that the
FBI and other law enforcement and
intelligence agencies have to go after
them the same way we go after
International terrorist organizations
who's paid a price who's paid a price
for being a conspiratorial irresponsible
demagogic extremist with the exception
of a few true believers who were just
duped and taken in and foolishly
believed all this stuff most of them are
going about going along doing fine
voters need to decide whether they are
comfortable with those who inight
violence representing them and movements
like this end when the entire population
decides that they are
unacceptable we haven't seen that
[Music]
yet so the ideal solution is
deradicalization but that's not
something something I'm interested in
I'm interested in
Justice and I'm interested in imposing
costs on people are trying to hurt
America and
Americans all I think about all day is
finding bad guys and hoping that they
end up in jail documenting any
potentially criminal Behavior
documenting things that if they're not
illegal society would frown upon and
ultimately it's to put a cost behind
being in Insurgent within the United
States I'm a Nazi Hunter but it doesn't
mean we're going to win and that's what
I want to tell people
this good doesn't always Triumph but I
do believe the oath means something and
I know that I'm going directly against
people who think that they also are
honoring their oath in the same way and
that's why I think this makes this
dangerous but what's enabling that
Schism to
happen is the LIE which world of Truth
do you live in it's not about commitment
to country that's shared so the only way
back to get back together the only the
only possibility of reconciliation is a
conversation that can occur in you know
in an environment of Truth we can either
reconcile with with each other as a
country or we can have a conflict where
do I want America to
go not here not where we're at this path
we're on will kill us it'll kill this
country it'll kill Freedom it'll kill
our camaraderie it'll kill our
compassion and our human decency for
each other what I'd like to see is for
the people on both sides all come
together and agree on going by the truth
only if we can do that then this nation
can be Salvage do I see that
happening no I
don't I can hope though
[Music]
is
