"nightline" starts right now, with juju chang.

>> good evening. thanks for joining us. tonight you're about to meet members of the secretive group known as the boogaloo boys, borne out of anti-government conspiracy theories, but as groups show up armed, critics say there's cause for concern. matt gutman has the story. >> reporter: those aloha shirts, they're not for a luau. igloo, masks and packing heat. the leader of this group goes by the name "shifty." it's not his real name but a nickname he gave himself, but he is a self-proclaimed boogaloo boy. he is meeting with about a dozen others to adend this black lives matter march. serving as an armed protection to keep protesters safe from

violence by the police. his group is armed and ready with assault rifles. and in this minds they say they're guarding against what they describe as government intrusion. boogaloos don't often speak to the media, but he agreed to an interview with me via speakerphone just before the protest. what's with the hawaiian shirts? >> we needed something to identify ourselves with. >> reporter: i know you're not trying to seem menacing, but an a.r.-style rifle is menacing. >> everybody who does such in my group is trained and efficient with their weapons. >> reporter: but shifty and his fellow boogaloos are not part of black lives matter. they're part of a different and much more secretive they're pro-freedom but civil

war two, electric boogaloo. >> did is referencing an old movie from 1984 called >> reporter: you might ask what is involved in teens in break dancing duels have anything to do with armed men, hawaiian shirts and call for civil war? not much, actually. >> first reference to the boogaloo future civil war started in the recesses of the internet a few years back and crossed over into more mainstream social media platforms and caught steam. >> reporter: the word is a afr. this group is deadly serious.

>> they are an extremist group. their rhetoric, their pedigree and everything is based on violence against peace officers and others that they disagree with. >> in general, there are two broad camps of the boogaloo. on the one hand, you have white supremacists who view this through a racial lens and the more popular anti-government extremist version. >> reporter: some members have been accused of using the protests to act on boogaloos' violent promise of inciting discord. several have been charged with crimes. in las vegas, federal authorities say three alleged members were found possessing molotov cocktails, they were arrested and charged with federal and state crimes, including a conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism. all three men have pled not guilty. and in oakland, authorities say

air force sergeant steven cario who had posted about the movement online and robert justice jr. drove this white van to the federal courthouse there and shot and killed federal officer, patrick underwood. >> they came to oakland to kill cops. >> reporter: a week later, a witness spotted that van 70 miles away near santa cruz, california. >> the witness observed ammunition, firearms and bomb-make being equipment in the van. >> reporter: the van was followed back to cario's home where they say he ambushed officers, fired on them and threw explosives. another officer, day mondmon gu wyler was killed. >> somebody please come help! >> reporter: finally, a good samaritan tackles him and police find what they say was a ghost gun, a homemade a.r.-style rifle

he'd allegedly used. and as he was led away, cario ye yells. >> [ bleep ]. >> reporter: authorities say cario scrawled in blood on one of the vehicles he stole, and in the van, a bullet-proof vest tying him to the movement. he has been indicted and faces charges of murder and attempted murder, both have pled not guilty. >> he was a lone wolf. we do not condone violence or his actions. they were disgusting. he was not doing that in the defense of anybody's individual liberty. >> reporter: do you think it's a problem for the boogaloo that people identify them with steven's alleged attack on police? >> yes, it has been harmful to some things with us, yes. >> reporter: you've turned people away who have been advocating violence. >> absolutely. >> reporter: but these boogaloos claim they are non-violent and

have become a self-involved fixture in protests across the country, never formally invited but making their presence known. >> one of the methods of recruit something joining these protests and putziting on a positive fac that they are joining the people. >> reporter: this is another member who wants to be called "trashman "as ma "trashman". he works construction during the day and runs a group on facebook. >> i first became involved or aware of it through social media, through facebook. >> reporter: trashman isn't carrying a gun because he says he's a non-violent boogaloo. >> what brought me to this ideology was the inclusion of others. it's not relegated to a certain class of people or color of people or religion. >> reporter: sounds pretty middle of the road, but despite their claims of non-violence, homeland security and the department of justice have labeled them as a violent

extremist group. >> the biggest misconception of the boogaloo movement is that we're racist terrorists or extremists of any kind. >> reporter: facebook and discord recently categorized them as extremists. >> in july we shut down on facebook. my personal profile as well as from what i understand hundreds as well as thousands of others were permanently deactivated on facebook. it was a smack in the face for sure. >> all they did was fracture us into a thousand more harder-to-find pieces. it didn't slow us down one bit. >> reporter: even with the burgeoning attention, they remain very cloak and dagger, but shifty feels they need to capitalize on the wave of unrest sweeping the country. why is it important for you to do this interview, shifty? >> too many times we do not get a sit-down and a relaxed

environment to really express our views and really get the word out for what we're standing for in face and let people know this isn't just with wian intere or a bunch of guys sitting in their mothers' basements taken on key borsd. th this is a real thing. >> reporter: they stand at the ready. the reality of the ethos is always present. how far are you willing to go, even at a ploet, lirotest, the protest? >> there's always the phrase live to fight another day, but everybody in our group is prepared to give the ultimate sacrifice in defense of liberty. >> our only recourse at this point is to be louder than everybody else, where we need to make our voices very clear and very loud to both unify us and distance ourselves from those

that would cause harm to people or present us in a bad light. >> i think their ideology and everything tells you exactly what they're here for. are they here to stay? i, i think time is going to tell. >> these groups don't go away. they may morph, change their name, change their style, change their membership. but the ideologies usually don't change. >> reporter: for "nightline," i'm matt gutman in los angeles. our thanks to matt. up next, with the end of enhanced unemployment benefits, families scrambling to make ends meet. just over a year ago, i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights

. we got word today that new weekly jobless claims fell last week below 1 million for the first time since mid march, but it's still far above the worst week of the great recession. so, for the millions out of work and worried about paying the rent, the expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits last week hitting especially hard.

>> get ready for and -- >> latricia's daughter asks a lot of questions, but one is particularly hard to answer. >> do you continue to ask me when are we going home, when are we going home. i had to break down and say, honey, this is our home for right now. >> that's because right now, home is a motel room. >> it's a sad thing to have to explain to a 4-year-old, that this room is our home. >> latrish, her boyfriend and daughter khaliah are a result of the chaos of covid-19. she lost her job as a data processor in the spring. government aid like the stimulus and $600 a week in unemployment helped keep her family afloat. >> it just meant i was able to pay my bills. it wasn't a paycheck-to-paycheck

kind of thing. >> but that federal money ran out at the end of july for more than 30 million americans. now latricia just surviving on $300 per week. her landlord didn't renew her lease. without a job, she couldn't find a new house or apartment. that's how she ended up here. >> time to wake up. come on. >> every morning, she wakes up with khaliah around 6:15.6:15. they hustle through the traditional morning rituals in tight quarters. >> honey, we have to get going. >> and get out the door. >> can you hold the baby up, please. >> latrish still takes khaliah to day care. >> dropping ms. khaliah off to day care. >> even though it costs $150 a week, half of her current unemployment. >> day care is absolutely necessary for me, so i can take care of these important

appointments and interviews. >> by midmorning, latrish is applying for jobs on her phone. >> i have an appointment later. >> driving all around town, looking for work. >> every day i'm putting one foot in front of the other. looking for work. >> unemployment during the pandemic has disproportionately affected people of color. more than 14% of black workers were unemployed in july. nearly 13% for latinos and 12% for asian-americans. compare that to the rate for white workers at 9%. for latrish, just watching what's happening in washington is frustrating. >> please get it together and understand that while you're fighting, you know, there may be a family like mine that doesn't have a home to go to. doesn't have a bed to lay in at night. >> the emergency unemployment assistance expired on july 31st. lawmakers are still locked in a stalemate over a more permanent relief package.some republicans

too much, and some americans, including latrish, are bringing in more money now than they would have if they were working. >> i would love to go to work. i want to be at work. i made $15 an hour working at my job. and i made, you know, more on unemployment. that's a, you know, that's not a secret to anybody for a lot of people. but it's not a good feeling to be onion employment. nobody wants to be unemployed. >> last weekend, president trump signed four executive actions, which includes extending some federal unemployment benefits. >> this is the payment relief during the covid-19 pandemic. >> the president's executive order calls for an extra $400 in relief for unemployed americans, but the president is asking for cash-strapped states to put $100 of that bill. and governors say they simply don't have the money. so right now, it is unclear when

or even if millions of americans will be seeing any of this relief. >> like latrish, millions of americans are at the forefront of a >> it's just a panic all the time. i constantly am in panic. >> >> lanet hill used to run a day care center in her home, but the business quickly unravelled during the pandemic. >> one e-mail says they will no longer be using me, then the next one, the next one. >> she used her savings to pay rent, about $2200 a month. but by july, she was tapped out, showing our clayton sandell the eviction notice from her landlord. >> i'm 70 years old and about to be on the street. >> what are you going to do? >> i don't know. >> hale is one of millions of americans part of a growing wave

of evictions that experts warn is about to come crashing down. >> the united states is facing the most severe housing crisis our country has ever seen. approximately 30 million to 40 million children and adults are facing evictions right now. >> evictions can have far-reaching effects impacting beyond your address. >> it affects your credit, your ability to buy a home. it's linked to health ailments, including depression and traumatizing for children who are set back academically. >> for trish, time is ticking and the questions from daughter khaliah keep coming. >> one day she said mommy, is it going to take very long for you to get up on your feet? it was just, we made a joke of it and i explained hopefully not much longer. >> thanks to a gofundme, she's getting a little help from strangers. >> when they leave their message that, you know, you're a good mom, and you're doing your best

right now, but it's going to get better, to know that i'm doing everything i can for my baby girl. >> and we'll be right back. you clean dishes as you cook, to save time and stay ahead of the mess but scrubbing still takes time. now there's dawn powerwash dish spray. the faster, easier way to clean as you go. it cleans grease five times faster on easy messes, just spray, wipe, and rinse. on tough messes, the spray-activated suds cut through grease on contact, without water. just wipe, and rinse. get dishes done faster dawn powerwash dish spray. spray. wipe. rinse.

that's "nightline." you can watch all of our full episodes on lulu. we'll see you right back here same time tomorrow. thanks for staying up with us, goodnight, america. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, rob lowe. tonight, ramy youssef and music from dawes. and now, rob lowe! >> rob: welcome to "jimmy kimmel live." i'm your host for the night, rob lowe, or as people at the airport call me,

"john stamos." today starts the sixth month of quarantine for many of us. and this time has been especially tedious for me because unlike most people, i don't drink. here's a fun fact, playing boggle without wine? insufferable. when you get sober, they tell you to take it "one day at a time." but no one prepared me for the fact that it would be the same day at a time for six months straight. but being home hasn't been all bad. my two adult sons moved back in with us during the pandemic. i'm basically living in a failed tv pilot, and i know about that kind of thing. honestly though, we've really bonded over the past few months, had a lot of chats about life lessons. like, i think it's important for dads to be open about their failures. which was easy for me, i told them to go on youtube and search for "rob lowe academy awards 1989." and of course, we also get to share our triumphs.
