the u.s. has a history complicated and heated presidential what's different this time is that the biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus and the rest of the level of civil unrest sparked by the death of george floyd and the lies of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. right there is your. say. these groups attract very angry members who have taken to the streets may control tasks look like full scale. use to be here. are sometimes heavily armed and they are not afraid of violence or law enforcement. if you will

a war let it begin with us. or go into trouble across the us over the next week to meet those groups and their leaders to find out how far they are ready to go to fight for what they believe the stupid for this country. we are. members of a group called the. boys have been around for several years now but the recently came into the media spotlight during the summers and say lockdown and government protests in august several dozen heavily armed men and tactical gear carrying the big guns showed up for a rally in virginia's capital richmond. among the demonstrators were the google board who could be identified from their bright wine shirts they were but if their bulletproof vests this became one of their

symbol or styled if you will it's been reported in the american. that many of the movements and here are preparing for a 2nd civil war. so now we're about to meet one of the most prominent voice might a flamboyant 20 year old former marine from virginia who was at the forefront of an armed protest in this state. how many guns do you have personally yeah. but we probably have over 50 why do you need to have. to have somebody. so exactly what does that mean it's just mean to us it means revolution revolution

what kind of revolution whatever revolution needs to happen whether it be. a mind revolution or if you know the u.s. keeps going the past at school and. we will still the constitution into its rightful place as the supreme law of the land in one of the interview talked about the french revolution. basically all the elites just to start everything from scratch. with the way government has gone things and they did a complete reset. and that i think is coming to the united states is a distant thing in your opinion or if it is something that is right around the corner i can't really nail point where. everybody would just rise up and say we're done but we're in the early stages of the revolution as it is you look at the civil unrest across the u.s. we look at groups like mine that are steady and say we're tarred with the with it we're already in the early stages of a revolution. mike

was arrested for it openly carrying something that is prohibited in the city of newburgh new where we are but legal in the state of virginia it was later released and today he's staging a rally in front of the newport news police have to demonstrate his disagreement with the law that as he sees it takes away his right to bear firearms. wrong thing for them to do if you want to try if you. are. the chief of police. this is the city that's become a flashpoint for civil unrest that's probably the most extreme this country has

seen since the vietnam era. severe riots and brutal street fights tear gas rubber bullets even public burnings the american flags have become regular sites important there are constant fights between left and right activists and. why of. course a lot of people talk about. what's taking place so. you can see completely out in the open and at its most extreme.

portland has a long history of active protests and a long history of an activist culture many of these protests have their origin in the protests after the 2016 election and then later what we started to see after black i've a matter of b.l.m. movement was a more sustained commitment to being on the screen i'm. president wrong has repeatedly accused an organization called and. the most extreme violence and destruction on oregon streets the violence and vandalism is being led by intifada and other radical left wing groups what is anti thought now the anti-fascists tend to be committed to a couple of basic ideas and the idea that there anti-racist many of them will also

refer to themselves as anti-rape protesters if you went out in the interview people that don't describe themselves and they bash you have a hard time finding out with a leader because it doesn't seem as if there are leaders. are you guys more than teeth or you just regular protesters and seafood is a ideology it's a belief a lot of people only but it's not a group i myself my wife and most of us were just protesters why the needs the night with this is for several things one i'm a nice fanatic i love plates and it's also for self protection self protection week from home a lot of people there's a lot of people that they see me with you know b.l.m. sure or something like that and they don't like each other stuff like. what is making the upcoming election miss i'm heard a lot of things that are on the believe this is the most turbulent in the room

right now coming up next and i still like to hear from you know this. to hear. about. the tributes and the like is still pretty much the. truth but when you see civil war like how do you picture in this the citizens like him police have to take. against the police against racism. there's just to be able to. people talk about the civil war and how they're going to take up firearms so easily this time it's quite disturbing anyway this man with a knife he agreed to take us to one of the portland street protests tonight and we'll see how it goes hopefully no one gets hurt. we're seeing the capital of state of michigan and we came here for 2 reasons 1st

there is going to be a huge unity rally in front of the city which is about to start and 2nd made the national news recently when several local militia members were arrested for plotting to kidnap the state's governor according to the f.b.i. and we're ready to storm the state's capital right here and if need be to start a civil war days before the november elections so let's find out what's going on here. and what's her name. sure so and why do you need to you know cover your face is that a thing or you just don't want to be disclosed the little bit of oh we're here to

have a conversation with. militia groups then why do you have to carry a gun. it was like constitutional right to do so although where many men whatever they identify as up here have the right to bomb themselves he point against the government. in the american media groups like they usually mean portrayed it is to prevent nationalist or races while it's not exactly true because as you just saw they had an african-american guy on the steps on the make shift stage who was giving a speech and received a really good welcome. what do you think about this story that a legend. of the local government i don't think it was smart i don't think it was good to do so at all but i get one reason why the. well one guy.

lost his job and no funding to go live in the guy's face but what would you how would you feel i could answer that definitely not attempting to kidnap. a local official but there is nothing. that is why you. are a. nation of 360000000 people. under one central government. by the most powers. one you. just appoint side they just happen to this guy. came up to the police department.

arm to win. an assault rifle as well as dozens of the boys and just one nothing happened not only they weren't arrested the police department actually provided them with the sound system so they can have this makeshift stage and you know the demonstration. great you can get your tickets. we're going to say we kept it. well they didn't like we're hoping. why do you want to know unclear why it's friday the rest of the day because we're all here and we're all heavily armed where you know side and they know they messed with one of us they're going to mess with all of us the sound what kind of massive does it sound to you these people while the message would be if you're alone you

won't get your way but if you show up as a group that is organized and have an arm that's way you get out of people the police and government to listen to you. all. the. 6 the black community is the biggest gun purchased scene community in america right now and has been for the last 4 years and the word change that 4 years ago. what's also interesting about that particular rally is that white men with guns have come out together here with the members of the local black lives matter community with african-americans and you would think those groups or kind of natural animus but as it turns out it's not when they have a common foe. police or the government might step you want to civil war a lot of us to fully prepare for that.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow only closely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. some control for a middle class to who most muslim are very hard working people who want to get ahead that is either have some some health issues or have some of those trick about luck the whole time jule moon to always pay for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your

budget off slightly. you better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be pull in the world's richest country. baseball helmet it's really good for stop and anything that you know.

gas mask we went to home depot the other day to get some for us but they were in our new trains l. they are not selling but since the start of. this rioting and protesting. they say that the protesters use them as a way to avoid the non-lethal that they use of the road. so he literally did it to stop us from having a way to protect ourselves from the gas. just to let you know about the environment in this city with come to the portland police associations office to interview members of a local law enforcement community about the on go when protests and riots. as it turns out the office was attacked by demonstrators just

a few days ago. blocked off the street cars ah and then set fire to the building after i am running windows and the front door and these captions on adjacent buildings cops are killers and kill the process. aren't you guys concerned just about the level of the division. and all we're trying to do is spread love we're trying to get. we don't want to be better than you we just want to be equal to you. it's been 5 and a half months and nothing worse has happened we haven't gone to the building. we have stored in the past wires on calls live or went around and started taking hostages what are you afraid of.

explaining about the long what is it it's covering everything from the head so. it leaves nothing else showing but the eyes that's the exact same part of the look good the police force that's down there what are they wearing. black from head to toe with body. we're not afraid of. we're not afraid of the people we're supposed to be here to serve us and chrisette us the ones that are.

if you put little boys out of the railway lensing and some of them about as you one of their shooting practices all of them are big on a through z. and it would be really interesting to see them in a more relaxed informal setting. what do you guys do for a living. i work. but i mean you'll have regular jobs you know. we're just normal people i mean we really we go about our day we go work. for families.

so i know that the gun sales soared in the us is that. right to do so. you know to defend themselves if they if need be. aren't you afraid that the country may be. leads to greater civil conflict. revolutions civil war i do worry. that we are headed down that. i think it is you know it's inevitable. it's have 3 ways. it's. the voice box. you have the ballot box. and unfortunately.

i worry what becomes of our election and. it's a wait and see approach right now. or if. there is going to be more right. now because of all arising from either side conceding no matter which candidate wins will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transfer of power. to see what happens. there is no more conversations if the boat will move it you know we do feel concerned for what happens when the talking stuff.

portland is like a training ground for everything that might go wrong after the presidential election it already has and i'm going turf war between rival political movements and then be a lamb on one side and then you have all sorts of far right of right wing organizations such as proud voice or patriot prayer on the other american mainstream media usually percs raise them as racists or white supremacists so let's find this out. why do you call yourself a patriot player what does that mean i believe that in order to truly fight for

freedom it is you have to be able to have a connection with god or at least it helps you and that great fire heavenly father we just thank you so much for this beautiful day it's cold but we love it lord we're just so thankful that you've given us this country but all in all it really looks like regular demonstrations and rallies but the only thing is they have armed guards across the area patrolling in constantly being on alert. we came for the rally for you with security so to speak a little bit of all. a little bit of both make sure anyone does well in the mainstream media they usually call you racist or white supremacist what you have to say about that so that's what people say when they don't have any other argument so they can attack what i say they can't attack what i do and so they just go to racist yeah absolutely no issues with african-americans or any other people of color of course not we have tons of them that come to the rallies with us you are

an african american and use it for donald trump obviously and this is kind and usual i would say i'm not really there's a lot of black people that support. african-americans treat you when they found out that you are on the right side of the political spectrum is normal to get some of the hardcore like you know him guys that when he has a house negro call you on what you think about the movements like be a lamb and all kinds of things keep it is a domestic terrorist organization again i was standing in downtown portland. approach them and say what's up but why do you keep going on as we pull the stuff. that's kind of one of the local stores here at the rally and this guy's name is philip was controversial in the face and lost his teeth here.

until now and i never met him before he literally just remember i mean sucker punched me just because he saw that i was going in to know that those. i think that donald trump will win and i think i do you know when's he going to burn down a lot of things in murder and kill and eat up a lot of people that's what i expect them to know what it's illegal that's just tolerant. caldron let's mislead you. at this point are willing to settle for biden because we don't have any other alternative but it's going to be the last one he's going to be the last time.

a president rather than someone like the goal of not just the b.l.m. but the goal of the whole country is to change the system. and if the next president doesn't give you your way then one day we bring him down so. upset. and what's going on here this is one of the many chapters for the b.l.m. movement. this was a kind of a get together. spirit. we don't know it was not enough but i mean really. it was the i'm putting my question again it was pretty well was their closing line it was something about the revolution. that.

it's revolution. is it. we are going to make this country great for the 1st time says. november 3rd scum at all. no matter who wins things are going to be. so tense because it's wrongfully alleged it's going to be on a far more for worse level where you're going to have a lot more people. it's going to be out here. and at that point i don't believe it's going to be civil. so it's a wrap for tonight so. there wasn't much of a protest going on in foreign funds this weekend which is weird. but as many people

who we talked to the thing. might be calm before the storm before the election. we should have a revolution every 20 years the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and of targets. and you know it's time for all good men the stand up the tree needs watering.

match geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can burn music is quite easily. to keep in mind though as it would mean to a place of. record. the us election is in full the way out of business as a bracing for potential chaos with the prospect of a drawn out 1st count and civil unrest. cause the familiar claims of foreign meddling hung over the traumatising clash we hit the streets of moscow to find out who russian of groups for. the famous door because i can see it from. here too but i don't see biden by the way yet the. gunman identified as a convicted terrorist kills 4 people in vienna before being shot dead by police

witnesses.
