3:05 pm
i love your reaction to this. i mean, this is something that you come across in like a group as recruiting veterans. so like what an experience and you look at like questions 1516 and 17 cheese. so i'm looking at it intake questionnaire for violin . extreme is group and i'm gonna read you 3 of the questions. question 15, are you in the military or a veteran of so which branch? 16. if it comes down to it, would you go against the okey tuck in the military and law enforcement? you could end up fighting against your military, law enforcement brothers. i mean i, i think you've got to consider where somebody has to be in order. so yes, of the 3 questions. and then also some of the capabilities and training and some of these individuals bring their places in our military. we where we are trained to
3:06 pm
start and fuel in surfaces. there are places in our military, we are trained to overthrow government work with or malicious in order to do that sort of thing. i'm not saying is to be alarmist, and i'm not. 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, of how badly this could escalate. we're not 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, that is a very dangerous thing. the domestic terrorism is the greatest terrace increasing the threat is real and we are all at risk for decades phonics stream is for sort of military, again, capital framing and access weapons. this was the,
3:07 pm
i do believe the ultimate something i know that i'm going directly against people who think that they also are the type of bond do solemnly, sorry, way for the cause of the text. and so you're not going to install it all in an easy and a mess are so hoping. so help me the the lenders as to buddy of mine, i said hey man, can you uh, can you get me some ammo?
3:08 pm
please ma'am? oh, okay. in front of me, he said, yeah, man, i've heard that there's a drug dealer down the corner. he's actually slinging ammunition now instead of drugs plus man munition from the drug doing what people look at these, these guns, these rifles and these hand guns and so forth. you know, there's, there's a lot of folks that see something that causes by when they 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 freed. this is what one our independence, this is what protects us from, from attack. it's not a, 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, this rifle will never hurt or harm anybody. the less something that comes up against it.
3:09 pm
babies ready to rock and roll me via text and we're supposed to be able to protect ourselves. it out of 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 ways to be able to defend yourself. and you know, proud to say that i can do that, you know, pretty 2nd. but what you learned in the military in the army is your scope since value, 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 the iron sites. that's the best grouping. but from 60 yards, 50 yards. so that will work close. it will be in the center.
3:10 pm
i spent my whole life wanting to in military. it was a photo right behind me when i was probably like 5 years old, wearing camouflage, had to tow with bare dog tags. feel like most kids that i grew up with went through a phase of wanting the copper firefighter and, or me ma'am, right? i never drew out of that and when i was 16 years old timber 11th happened and it kind of put a different spin on that desire to serve and went to go out and find bad guys and find justice. 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
3:11 pm
aftermath of work there 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 are not old people. children, everyone becomes more violent and 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 of his private crow. uh and then um, almost a decade later it ended as captain cro over that period. they're well over a 100 tom bad missions between iraq and afghanistan. and of course, felt like i left that part of my life behind me. so on january 6th, i had told all the members of my staff not to come in to the office. i had heard reports of berkeley boys and proud boys and others feeling flights to come into the
3:12 pm
capital. the i think is a lot of us watched things and sold on the 6th and then have, have looked at a lot of the footage sans to see things we recognized as veterans on january 6th, 2021 u. s. 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 the militia groups, see the creepers, 3 percent of the proud boys. they're organized, they're behaving tactically, they understand that the dynamics of the crowd and their maneuvering to exploit that massive bodies. you know, so you see organized line of motion members which feels ready to go ready to exploit a breach, pushing the crowd in certain directions,
3:13 pm
broke through into the capitals, evacuated leadership, evacuated the floor. but they had forgotten that there were about 2000 members up in the gallery. the floor of the house was evacuated, but there was no safe evacuation route, evidently from the the gallery. there is no safe place in the united states for an east military principle. one o 5 k means great, and that's what i realize. we were trapped there was no way out and we would likely have to make a stand or fight her way out. this was one of my shocking moments of my life. i made the decision to call my wife and let her know that i love her and tell the kids that i loved 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 k the,
3:14 pm
the, this was the kind of experience that i expected as a us marine the rock but could never even imagine happening as the united states congressman in washington dc. you know, many people seen the pictures, they had bar the door to the gallery, they were banging on that door and breaking the glass to that door. i've often ask myself, how did i end up on one side of that door in my fellow veterans who raised their same right hand and took the same oath tonight, to the end up in the other side, that door nearly 150 law enforcement officers were injured in the mail, the 5 protesters died and another for police officers leaders committed suicide.
3:15 pm
those charged in connection with the attack. a disproportionate number or u. s. military veterans the for me. now the capital is almost like walking around, gettysburg granted them or going to pearl harbor and my son, michael, was killed in action in afghanistan in june 14th, 2008. and when you joined the military, there's a lot, a lot of competing ideas of why you show up. and for most of what, there's a, there's a large amount of patriotism but you never lose focus and never lose sight. but, you know, i'm here in this country maybe to give them a better chance to experience what we have in america. or it's not perfect. we're trying to form a more perfect union every day,
3:16 pm
and we want to give that chance to other people. my son dies doing that or not, can a staff only for us to to lose that site. here them, veterans who swear that over 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 over fro, democratic election results. they shouted for the hanging of our own vice president . that's a coup attempt though i was trained to blow stuff up, run with the tree, became this unofficial. on the ground intelligence reporter may 15th,
3:17 pm
2005. we got called to respond to a body that was found in the trash top outside solder city. when we got there, we realized that it wasn't a body, it was a bunch of bodies, and i never experienced anything like it. and now as i was taking photos, close of photos of these faces with victims of murder and torture, i was looking at their wounds. so looking at the packaging tape that was wrapped around her eyes and imagining that her, 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 frozen my head. but that was just a day of deployment plan. 6 and a half months, 7 months left of a rack to deal with it. but when it is 11 bravo to the
3:18 pm
army squared fairly high. so now with the airborne school, which was going to be my next step of training for special forces. and 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 income bad. 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 the lease and my feelings on my experiences, all of which had been terrifically negative when most come out of the military. larry, they're coming out to a world that they no longer understand. you really get lost in that life when you're in the military and what happens is you have the commodity, the friendship,
3:19 pm
all the good things that you have in the military. and then when you come out, you kinda have society that's on discipline incapable. and just downright ugly. a good evening, i'm giving you guys a massive police presence in portland, oregon. today in anticipation of a violent confrontation. i'm a probably a president of a healthy registry 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, is to get back to my country from my country. i think a lot of that kind of chain from my up of frame, you know, the family that i grew up in, and i'm very proud to be in america. very proud of what america stood for what it represented around the world. very patriotic. and i think a lot of those things that were slashed members of the proud boys and,
3:20 pm
and people thought multiple times. it may or tend wheeler just sent out a statement late today saying this past weekend quote, put innocent lives that breath. the proud toys were founded in new york and 2016. you want to keep the sleeping bag guess what is called rice open is gonna be 7076 up in the us and are classified as an international terrorist organization. by chance we're always grandchildren. with that essentially means is that we're the biggest cheerleaders for western values, western culture, small government, maximum freedom, maximum liberty, pro 1st amendment pro, 2nd amendment, or finally entrepreneur. that all right in the house, why we're not moving sure is taking in any way, shape or form the facts of the matter is you have good guys in this world, you're a bad guy. specialists. and the only way to stand up to the bad guys is to fight the change of prominence in america in september 2020 during a presidential debate between joe biden. and donald trump, why he's
3:21 pm
a product. that's why like me to conduct route brothers this on right problem, i was stand back and stand by. so like when i saw the president of the united states telling an extremist violence, organization stand by. that was a shilling moment. that was shilling moment for me. it wasn't any different than a prisoner of the united states sending old card or sending ices luck. i have a tough election stand by. let me tell you what you need to do. then we get a lot of notoriety or actual. of course we did, but at the very same time it it's, it's not pictures or races. it's not which is where 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 coming idea of what you said, uh, we had power. we should have power. power is being taken away from us. and by any means necessary, we can get it registered as a socialist group. yeah,
3:22 pm
southern national surgery of all types of groups of all types of creeds. but ultimately, we're all being united because we're all believing the same thing, which is ultimately the white people haven't right to exist. and whether the we is a white we whether the we is an antique government, we thoroughly declined more laws. worse. right now we're be in the future. nobody knows. and that should have been a long time ago. personally, a lot of people think that you know, these are not colors. we shouldn't worry about them. unfortunately, we said the same, think about that you had a prior to the events of $911.00. they live in caves and of can stand. they don't pose any stretch to the homeland. but by the time we decided to go after them after 911, it was a little bit too late. i
3:23 pm
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 is, it would be true and like the 3 percent is already off cheaper. it's the one thread that kind of combines all of our groups is the us constitution. our respect for the and i signed up to defend this country. i was essentially joining the 3 percent or is already those of in listening is the exact oath of a 3 percent of the
3:24 pm
in atlanta, i met up with 3 percent as of 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 diligently. joe biden has already gone. his son is already on his car. we know that our family is a criminal family. situation we're in is a situation of trees. a punishment for trees. in america, you have the right to be and 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's the right. protected by the 1st amendment. i think when we talk about the vonage extremist to groups, we're tight, 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
3:25 pm
empire. people who are trying to, you know, killed jewish or kill immigrants, or stick to black people just based on the race or on their religion. when you move away from the narratives as ugly as they are to this, to carry out the violence based on that narrative, to, to quote individuals to carry out violence based on the narrative that your final extreme is that you're frankly a terrorist. the we used to talk about i e. d supervisor, explosive devices in a rack, and they were incredibly lee fault. 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 up stream to the problem and look at where the problem is
3:26 pm
coming from. where's the energy? january 6? 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 fed charge, the leader at stewart rhodes and several members of the right wing group, the oath keepers with the dishes conspiracy. stewart rhodes is a former army paratrooper with a law degree from yale. in 2009, he founded the oath keeper's shadow. we 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 over throwing the u. s. government to be secured. you will not be true without its time. once again,
3:27 pm
there are thought to be 35000 members in the organization. most of them heavily on january 6th was not the 1st time roads assembled. his forces at an arsenal of weapons. the state of emergency and louisville kentucky after a grand jury decided not to indict 3 police officers and the shooting death of brianna taylor. late this afternoon, princess is glass. the overdrive robin to the pond. shops gonna be charlie, following the killing of brianna taylor. the old keepers went to kentucky, alongside local militia groups. here in louisville to project the show station,
3:28 pm
and also the punch across the street. and also a private residence. we can't predict sales, stupid. my main message is you're ready to prepare yourselves and the community as for what we see common for i think it's unavoidable. now. got too many brain washed, americans who've been brainwashed by communist the pressure for teachers that age your own country, the what do you do? so it's your own country to reach you by close extensions you believe it or not, you're still 3. 11, a report is retreat in a brutal civil war. if it comes to hadn't been the, the is ready and vision with not being so low. so the coming door had become generally expensive. you could be in the safe and safe,
3:29 pm
and then you went out into civil war. i started off leaving this, one of the grand suite, have to come to a hotel. the next room i was in was underground, tying the prison. so as a hostage bay was the commodore will hotels on l. jesse are getting close to the people most affected by those in power is often dangerous, but it's absolutely vital the stories to be told we've pushed as far forward as we can to the front line. now, the smell of that is all of the power and a lot of the stories that we cover a highly complex. so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can to as many people as possible, no matter how much they know about a given chrisy. so issue as long as you say, we're correspondence, that's what we strive to do a meeting of minds. you need to compose fragments. architecture becomes in a reno in assembly, where you can place all these evidence together and start seeing things architect, vitamin, and photographer trevor pac man,
3:30 pm
pod one. another thing that i really want out of art, which is not simply things that are trying to see the world, but things that give us the lives of how the world could be different. judy, it'd be unscripted on. i'll just say around the, i'm sammy's a down in the headlines here and i'll just say era is writing strikes of killed 12 people who were sheltering intense in southern gaza. women and children were among the dads and, and the la c, which is designated the humanitarian area. since store and 52 people have been killed across the street. the fed up, this is not fair. we haven't committed any mistakes, we didn't do anything wrong. why are our children paying the price? we don't know what to say. we don't know what to do. they told us to come to our milwaukee and described it as
3:31 pm
a safe area. the reality is there is no safe area in gaza. the u. n. agency for the palestinian refugees is urging israel to approve the delivery of blankets and warm clothing to garza tens of thousands of living in miserable condition while supplies of food, water, tents, and blankets stuck at the boulder. 3 is foreign and defense ministers are holding tools in the south, the capital, the all it's the new administration's 1st following visit is the lead is look to show up regional and international support signed inside syria security forces. and homesafe launched a special operation to find people suspected of crimes onto the acid regime roadblocks of being set up and civilians. and at least 2 neighborhoods have been told to stay home. thousands of refugees from sedan and moving into neighboring chad to escape fighting it. how do you and says nearly a 1000000 refugees, a flight, the golf for region where
3:32 pm
a mass killings have reportedly taken place. sedans, army has been fighting the power military rapids support forces for more than a year and a half. 12.3000000 people have been false from the homes and the world's largest displacements crisis. fishermen into news. yeah. have rescued about 50 asylum seekers and migrants out to that boat capsized off the coast of libya, migrant rescue watch says the vessel left from the village of i will come ash and libya that i have a ton near the island of chat about you to over crowding and bad weather the gunman who killed at least 12 people in montenegro wednesday night, has died before the 5 year old showed himself in the head off to being surrounded by police. there is home in the town of such 10. yeah. he died from his injuries on the way to hospital. all those are your headlines. the news continues. i started gainesville lots. the
3:33 pm
3, the almost like 3 or 4 country doing a stability operation against a service. it does appear. there's no sense which of course is good. you have another one, but supercharged the cash market. so i'm not surprised that extremist organizations try to recruit veterans for the credibility that we bring. but also for our commitment. and that commitment takes a lot of forms injections or people in our society to in many ways of set, i will do whatever is necessary to preserve whatever reason to preserve the baseline values in the baseline existence of my society up to and including finals . because the big so they've been doing a whole career, you know, doing here and setting that stage is still a weird feeling. so i had to talk to you from our tardy and abroad stock. they said
3:34 pm
david only will call you back in just so here's the thing i came home to visit my mommy pressure with taking a shower. she compound or in the morning splitting tv about some 2nd airplane gets the level well, 3 weeks later i was getting my shots are good was the 2nd group, the inner afghanistan. it's so enticing. i mean, i can 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. if you believe the countries under attack, you have a certain set of skills that maybe you were trained. trained with that, you can, you know, help the group around you, right? you're a force multiplier. the critic central examples of a force multiplier, a 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 6 or 700. the local indigenous forces on combat skills. certainly,
3:35 pm
i think that's one of the reasons why some of these extreme groups are recruiting. these individuals are very deliberately into their movements. the guys everybody's spread out, get eyes open and get a good for the when i was 21, it's fairly damage from a war that i have been lied into. one of my friends were dying for when a guy like stuart roads comes along with a deal law degree and they see the eye patch. they don't know the, he shot himself the range, but they assume he's a combat wounded fat and says like hate, you can support and defend the constitution. united states standing with us and
3:36 pm
just, you know, repeats the words of the, the 2nd amendment that that's all it took for me to be like, okay, you know, you've got to pedigree, you've got the background to why should i challenge that? i have no basis in experience or education to challenge the pastry. the challenge with having veterans directly involved is to, for the 1st, is that they bring a certain expertise they might bring in organizational skills or military skills that can make a movement more dangerous format. let's go. the 2nd thing that's disturbing, however, is particularly in our society, veterans have legitimacy. they have a particular place of respect. and when we see that rims involved in something,
3:37 pm
it gives some component of legitimacy to that costs are commands. i've been trying to tell me that you are breaking curfew right now. yes sir. if you could just go back to your post right now. just by simple, appreciate cover that. thanks. veterans have a kind of social cache that provides cover for a lot of the extremist activities 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, you have a different kind of reception. then if you turn out wearing se swastikas and hudson groups. so when we think about this, this is along the lines of something like choosing to come out in polo shirts and khakis or 2 things come out and funny hawaiian shirts. it's part of boogaloo. those
3:38 pm
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 a militia beforehand, but once they opened up and said that they were doing all of his be eliminated, you know, i see my city on fire. i was like, i've had enough reached out to my local militia. i've been with them ever since yesterday when you're vulnerable and you're looking for family because that's what people we serve with. are they look like they could be? they look like they can provide you that sense of purpose, that mission lottery that you had in the military that you became dependent on that became the center of your, the identity. they could give that back to me, tells you to fight. you have no reason to question them because he's giving purpose
3:39 pm
. mission papers are preparing for potential violence on around the election day. yeah. yeah, we got people across the country and making plans for so many of us to many veterans 1st of all, to me for and that's one thing. i'm not a big fan of the warranty or did all of a rise. what they did give us is a massive pool, huge for combat veterans, and about 95 percent of them all because preserve side for all the comes out of the constitution. so it's not gonna play out very well the and so when i look at january 6th, of course, there were people who did violence in climb gauge and cause 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
3:40 pm
curtain pushing everybody out. you know, these, these are the half cock plants, the guys go early, the people you really have to worry about, or the people you don't even know exist until you're 2 years in the conflict. so tactically, patients, and they're watching you still and absolutely still, i'm the people don't see how awful, january 6 was, and what is the indicator that is and how it's escalating. and anybody who says that this can happen in a worst way, either they're ignorant or they're part of the problem. people shouldn't look at the instruction at the capitol as if we should pay attention to the pattern that got us there. the, the name of jesus christ, we live this call and his lot just fails darkness. so my heres word in his example
3:41 pm
the spell that he learned from i met a man the, there is one american example of an extraordinary successful parents movement. and that is course the keep that plan. many people in the plan talks about their experience as the continuation of worth fair. the 1st wave came after the civil war . and here we saw prominent veterans like nathan bedford for us who rose the leadership of that class. and although it started as a veteran social organization, it's very quickly pivoted to extra legal violence. targeted african americans, which included night writings, lynchings, serial, rate, serial murder. all of these things were designed to create terror in african
3:42 pm
american communities to control labor pools, to control local politics and to keep african americans from the pools. one of the main parts of the jim crow error was something that we would think of today as the elections of version. and we would see in states like georgia, where they refuse to see 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 crew to over throw 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 the solomon, calhoun. the conventions president gave delegates their marching orders. we came here to exclude the negro. nothing short of this will answer. the poll tax and
3:43 pm
