it was months before he said his mother was from charlottesville. and i said dad, jefferson was from charlottesville. and he said yes, i know. so he was kind of toying with me just a little bit. let me go back to my grandmother. there we are. but i learned from my dad about my grandmother is that her name was eva robinson taylor. it could have been robinson, it could have been taylor. he wasn't sure. he wasn't sure which name was hers, her maiden name. it is because his mother died when he was five years old. he didn't know much about her. he didn't know what her name was. to me, that was remarkable. as a 13 year old girl, my dad was as close as you could get to god. i grew up in a household that was like, father knows best. my father knew everything. and so, again, i couldn't process how my daddy did not know the name of his own mother. i couldn't process how we could have been descended from province jefferson. as a child, i was very curious. i kept pursuing and kept asking. dad said his mother died when he was five years old, couldn't remember he

they did a lot of planning prior to charlottesville. it was a coming out party for groups like the proud boys and all these other groups that had done small movements. organize more directly in those moments. afterwards, people got very afraid of the feds because they were being targeted by the feds. it makes a lot of sense. these groups finally being crackdown upon. one of those people who said we can build this movement separately. there are other groups, by the way, -- incredibly dangerous, violent groups much more explicitly open to terrorism, that helped spur their membership from charlottesville, as well. these groups are not necessarily distinct. they are basically believe in the same thing. they are different in their brands of violence and how explicitly they talk about. this is often one of the top two years. patriot front is one of the group that at least wants to manage people with the threat of violence. that is what you saw yesterday >> last question, how many groups like this exist in the country, ballpark? >> oh man -- r

it's really nice to be joining people from charlottesville and albemarle county and so a little tiny bit about me in addition to libby's great introduction. people always want to know how it is that i am writing that i came to write this book and basically i've been writing about beer as a freelance journalist. since 2005 in the philadelphia metro area, and i've been really focusing on women in beer that entire time gotten involved in a lot of different women's organizations in the beer space started one or two of my own and published this book last year. a couple months ago about six months ago now, um and the background to the book is that this is the first book to chronicle the history of women in beer and women actually have been brewing beer or you know some semblance thereof for probably about 200,000 years basically for out most of human history water was either not safe to drink or was believed to be not safe to drink. people didn't drink soda. there was soda wasn't invented juice wasn't invented. people didn't drink milk wine tended to be upper classes so a beer has been the

you could argue that the 2017 charlottesville rally was a peaceful protest by the far right demanding more from change. if those protests have no effect, if you don't see any change as a result of those protest, for example the charlottesville protesters wanted -- they basically wanted immigration, they wanted the wall to be built. they're not seeing that, the chances they will not be replaced. and instead what happened they lost their jobs, their employers all videos of them on tv and fired them. the fbi began to infiltrate their groups and question them and some of them were arrested. they got the platform from social media. here they were doing what they thought was working within the system, they're not using violence, their protesting and it's their right to protest. and not only did nothing happen but personally they were harmed as a result. these are the types of events that turn people away from nonviolent means and push them into the hands of the more violent extremist in their group. >> i would say those who participated in charlottesville and those who suffer the consequenc

charlottesville was described as in 2017 as a unite the right effort. that didn't happen. after charlottesville there was an internal fighting about the extent to which they wanted the nazis involved, all white supremacist groups, so you're talking about variations of hate at this stage and patriot front came out of that. they're very into performative gestures. we see this with how they were all dressed the same, like, you know, basically like walmart workers, they cover their faces, they're together, and they have been very effective at using social media and other organizing efforts to appear larger than they are. but they're very much -- important, they're very much into these gestures of performative, all jumping into the uhaul, all wearing the -- >> do you think they're dangerous or threatening or as alarming as other white supremacist groups? >> no, on the scale they're probably not. i would say we just don't know about whether they were armed. i know the police have not said -- the police have not said they were not armed. so we don't know what their intentions are

>> reporter: the person convicted of this murderous act of hate in charlottesville, the man behind thetted standing side by side with the racist group, holding one of their shields. though the leadership of vanguard america said he was not a member and condemned his violence, that didn't stop their neo-nazi ideologies or activities according to several groups that track hate in america. they simply splintered and rebranded themselves after the terrible publicity and legal trouble facing many who took part in the deadly charlottesville rally. >> patriot front sprung off of vanguard america as a new effort, a new brand. so they're constantly trying to reinvent themselves to distance themselves from the very violence that they're routinely promoting. >> reporter: peter simi is an associate professor of sociology at chapman university. he's spent decades studying extremist groups, even living with some of them. he says patriot front's favorite targets are immigrants, brown and black people. why would they, as authorities have said, target the lgbtq segment of society? >> it's a very common

he wrote an article around charlottesville, and i know we talked about it many times on your show, whichoy. and those days, afterwards, we talked about how devastating that was he talked about how devastating it was to see what we saw, marching on the streets of charlottesville. so, we understand there's still a lot of work to do. we still have a long way to go. he has talked about that. and so, is gonna continue to fight the fight. but as it comes to the doj, they're independent, and we're going to leave it as that. we are not going to do, again, what the last president did, by politicizing it. >> i want to note just reporting there's reporting now that a lot of the violent intent is shifting from the maga cause and the quote unquote stop the steal cost to attacks on lgbtq americans. that has become a fixation. so i know that something that is of concern around this country. but i want to talk about another concern. it kind of relates to also what we saw happened in buffalo, that mass shooting. these anti-women, sort of, you know, iterations that we're seeing, not just on the violent si

well, yeah, i guess i'd say that that those who participated in charlottesville and those who suffered the consequences of their actions. crossed the line from what most would view as legitimate protest into something else. and and that they they represent a very very small minority, but you're bigger issue about the 2020 elections as a demonstration to mainstream republicans that despite all of their efforts. they they failed to to re-elect donald trump is is a very interesting example as well because on so many levels republicans succeeded in 2020 and we have this this irony around the big lie in which republicans who won their own races are arguing that the elections they participated in were fraudulent and and carried out without integrity. and and so we we have to think in my view at least about how hopelessness is manufactured and reproduced and disseminated and you do talk a bit about social media in the book and and it would be it would be thing i think to reflect a bit on the extent to which this condition of hopelessness which which i agree with you completely can be an extra

live in charlottesville. so we started in early august of 2017 and then moving into 2020. so, i think what it really told us was that we had been, all this work we had been doing since the late 90s, we had been, you know, we had been sort of moving to a moment, and what we saw was that the future of historic sites can be a future of the kinds of conversations that this country needs to have. >> yeah. >> and that these sites where the -- as lonnie bunch calls it, the unfinished business of the american revolution -- you know, we can sit down, we can think of ways and be the change and be the places where these conversations can happen. and i also want to say for the future of the field that the field has to diversify or we're just not going to be here. >> yes, yeah. true. >> i think, i think that crystallized for us the importance of what we can do. >> yeah. i'm curious how your organizations define descendants. >> so, at montpelier, there absolutely are descendants of people whose names we know and who occur

ah. charlottesville, the united states summer, 2017. when i was in charlottesville, there was this euphoria, this ecstasy part fight club. it's part party. it's part riot. they were so happy to be with these people that shared the same beliefs. hundreds of right wing extremists arrived to the city. one of them drove his car into a group of counter protesters, killing a young woman. because i've done so much research on far right groups. youtube thinks i'm a nazi and starts offering me these white supremacist channels and videos to look at. and that's the power that these groups have. now they have a reach and an ability to communicate with the masses that they never had before. the extremists organized themselves online, further radical housing each other on social media. like the right wing extremist boogaloo boys. one night of its members used facebook live to broadcast to the world from his car, which was filled with weapons. police arrested him just in time. ah. the authorities themselves had become a target. a boogaloo boys member

>> if you recall and charlottesville during unite the right, there's a group called vanguard america. fields, that the killer of heather heyer, marched wit vanguard america that day and after his murder became international headline news, the group rebranded as patriot front. they had the slogan reclaim america. it is a lot of garbage about reclaiming this european ancestry in the united states and essentially they are trying to sell people who might be predisposed to conservative propaganda to find this explicly fascist propaganda by using all kinds of conservative trope, patriot front. that is basically who they are. they tend to get anywhere between 30 or so people you saw there and as many as 50 to 80 people marching at an event. that is basically who they are. amy: a mother of one of these men said she realized he was getting radicalized, his first commons work denying the holocaust and she was trying to figure out how to stop him. she . then you have this proud boys attack, michael, in the bay area. explain for people who are not familiar with who the proud boys are, the group o

as you would expect, after their disastrous appearance in charlottesville in which one of their members ran down with his vehicle a counterprotester, the organization went about a pretty concerted effort to rebrand themselves and to kind of clean up their image and that's when they -- many of them started to organize around this name, patriot front. they're known to be a presence at white nationalist events around the country. they typically are engaged in these somewhat performative acts of protest where everybody shows up in the same tan pants and blue shirt and white balaclavas covering their faces and they stage their appearances at events to video them for the purposes of producing propaganda. they're not to be dismissed as anything inconsequential. they're pretty openly embrace violence and white supremists and replacement theory ideology in their official statements. >> and we heard from top officials who previously have said that these kinds of organizations are arguably the biggest threat to domestic security in the united states. fbi director christopher wray as recently as 20

and the proud boys -- something quite serious, they ultimately fatal charlottesville rally to quote,e the right. 2018, they were showing up at a nancy pelosi, when miami in miami security had to coat her to safety, with proud boys members screaming, yelling she was a blanking communist. by 2020, it turned this into a sort of pattern, going where the people were to try to apparently foment clashes, if not outright violence. they were going to blm protests they were doing this in a way that was very inciting lets. be clear -- you can show up anywhere and talk. but as the footage attests, some of this is starting to look like they want to do more than talk. the current leader of the group was sense last year for burning a stolen blm flag and a group evolved much more into a white supremacist male fraternity. stone, who said he's not a member, said he began to align them for security at certain events. so, when you take this all together, and that history, and the trump link, you see why a group that might have started trying to make a point or just be controversial, ultimately became a

the kinds of civil lawsuits that we saw successfully prosecuted in charlottesville, virginia, for examplehe right. >> i am also curious what you thought of the way they presented this last night, which appears to be a template. rachel and i discussed this a little bit last night. because everyone is accustomed to the traditional hearings, first of all, when they're not select committees, you have the partisan back and forth. second of all, everyone gets their time. and this format is really putting 1 to 2 members of the committee in the league, a limited number of witnesses life, and then really drawing on the evidentiary grain, if you will, if you want to be a huge nerd with me. the cream of hundreds of depositions, and not making the public sit through that, which again, is different from traditional hearings. so, i'm curious, as someone who really is versed in the presentation of the law, what is your thought about that last night, because it's so different than most hearing? >> well, that's literally covered with books. obviously, i'm happy to learn that with you. >> and they're a lot

deadly unite the right rally that white supremacist rally in charlottesville that ended in the death of heather heyer who was run over by a man who also subscribed to this group. so this group was a splinter of that after what happened in 2017, the publicity was so high, they changed their name from american vanguard to patriot front. the leader of american vanguard became the leader of this section of patriot front, and he too was arrested and is part of the 31 people who were arrested here. of course, this has shaken this town. a lot of folks are very, very upset to see this happen in their town. here is what police said after there were rumors that this was another group or some other type of conspiratorial ideas. >> let me be very clear here. these were not law enforcement officers that we arrested. these were members of the hate group patriot front. these were not antifa in disguise, nor were they nfbi members in disguise. >> so you are hearing directly from the police chief, who made very clear who this was. they have unmasked all 31 of these men, that has caused a lot of issue
