00:08:54.900She said she had to answer the question because the Senate Republicans expressed concerns about actually being able to reach an agreement with the Biden White House.
00:09:05.700The meeting with the president on Monday, you know, for the for the covid relief, they said was promising, but it wasn't going to happen because his staff wouldn't allow him to compromise.
00:09:23.180The president talks a lot about unity.
00:09:26.580The president talks a lot about unity, but his White House staff and congressional leadership are working on a different playbook.
00:09:32.620Now, Psaki said, any questions about whether there's any daylight between the president and his staff on the price of the package was ludicrous.
00:09:54.400But didn't we see that secret cabals can survive in an administration?
00:10:00.160Didn't we actually see and had the media tout how great it was to have a secret cabal that thought they knew better than the president?
00:10:10.800And they did everything they could to stop his will, to stop his directives from being carried out because they believed they knew better than the elected official.
00:17:07.740There is no bad guy left, at least in Massachusetts, to point the finger at, turn the screws on, and, you know, break their will so they stop emitting.
00:19:32.240And the reason why I left is just because of escalating death threats against me, which were reported to police in Portland and of which nothing was done.
00:20:50.120I think my parents both went to, were sent to prison camps for different reasons in the 70s under the communist regime there.
00:21:00.920And one of the freedoms that I really cherish, or norms, I should say, norms and freedoms I really cherish as an American citizen is that we have freedom of expression.
00:21:15.620And that there's an expectation that you don't solve political grievances or disagreements through violence.
00:21:24.940But nowadays, I'm not sure if that's really a norm anymore, considering if you listen to what the chattering classes are saying,
00:21:34.380they have defended the looting when it's done in the name of BLM or anti-fascism.
00:21:40.520And then they defend even assaults and, at times, homicides.
00:21:49.460You've written a new book, Unmask, Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.
00:21:54.320And it is very clear on the leftist terrorism that is happening here.
00:22:02.260And you go through the history, the beginnings of it in 1920s Italy, with Benito Mussolini's fascistic party.
00:22:12.580Do you believe, and I want to get into some of that history quickly, but I want to ask you this.
00:22:19.180Do you believe that the Democrats or the leftists are really in control and leading this?
00:22:31.600Or are they being used by more powerful people?
00:22:39.840I think the short-sighted agenda was that they could use Antifa's messaging and the protests that they helped sparked in the past four years
00:22:51.860to use that against the former administration and former president.
00:22:56.840So they nurtured and coddled this monster.
00:23:00.740And now that Trump is no longer in the picture and no longer an excuse,
00:23:05.080they're having to contend with this issue that Antifa is not something they can actually control.
00:23:12.840Antifa has destroyed the DNC headquarters in Portland on Inauguration Day.
00:23:18.700They've called for violence against Biden and other Democrats.
00:23:22.800And so the Portland mayor who's coddled Antifa has been literally chased out of his home.
00:23:28.100And, of course, that's just what has happened to the Democrats.
00:23:34.280The rest of us, the normal people, the taxpayers, are having to live in cities with skyrocketing crime rates.
00:23:41.120Police made feckless with our downtown and city fronters looking like first-world slums.
00:24:06.920Where's all of this dark hate come from?
00:24:10.800So Antifa is an atheistic anarchist communist movement, but they do adopt certain, I would say, fundamentalist religious-like worldviews.
00:24:25.140And so they view the United States as a wicked, imperialistic state that needs to be destroyed, and not just the nation-state destroyed, but also all its founding ideals, because these have had influence for good in many parts of the world.
00:24:43.920They want to get rid of that, because they view it—they view the United States and its ideas, American philosophy, as linked in a system of white supremacy and fascism.
00:24:53.960So when they say they're against fascism, for example, they're not referring to, like, how political scientists and academics who study political philosophy describe and understand fascism.
00:25:05.700They're referring to anything that is against their Antifa ideology.
00:25:09.820So that can be—it can be the entire GOP, it can be any American political figure, American government, things like freedom of inspection, property rights, all of that they consider fascistic.
00:25:46.620So in the course of writing my book, I had to do some research.
00:25:49.720In Portland, my home city, provided a pretty good data set because there were so many arrests that have happened over the 120 days of nightly riots.
00:25:59.760And so we have a sample size of around 1,000 arrest thieves, the majority, overwhelming majority of whom are white and are chanting things like Black Lives Matter and calling for what they say is racial justice.
00:26:13.600They do skew young, some juveniles, all the way to the early 30s.
00:26:20.300In terms of the economic stratus that they represent, it has kind of, it spans all.
00:26:26.480You have people who, as you said, come from privileged backgrounds, those who are working in white collar professions like academics, like nurses, journalists even.
00:26:36.980And then you have people who are, I view, extremely vulnerable, those who are mentally unwell, who are vagrants, who are coming to these operation bases that Antifa set up and are given food and given accommodation in terms of tents and all that.
00:26:53.400And then when it comes to rioting at night, they're also given weapons and are given homemade IEDs to use and to throw.
00:26:59.880So this is a very, it's an evil ideology that victimizes a lot of people.
00:27:08.540It turns people who are passionate about what they view as social justice until sociopaths who want to kill and be killed in the process so that they can become martyrs.
00:27:19.840Politico has reported that with almost a million social media followers, Andy Ngo is a mega influencer and, quote, a key source for right-wing audiences in search of news about Black Lives Matter movement.
00:27:36.180I hope you wear that as a badge of honor.
00:28:40.680Otherwise, they probably would have figured out that I wasn't one of the resverted numbers.
00:28:45.880However, when I was in charge in the uniform, I think what was really disturbing was seeing the level of organization that took place in the operations and that so-called autonomous zone in Seattle.
00:28:58.280Like they have this security, so-called security apparatus where different members were assigned to different parts because the territory was so big.
00:29:09.820And their security were armed with weapons.
00:29:14.560So even though they say that they're against police, they actually were creating a secret police force is what they were doing in monitoring different areas of who was going in and who was going out.
00:29:28.560And they had complete control of the streets and held essentially the people hostage who lived there.
00:29:36.540Other times, because they eventually started to catch on that, I must have been in their area.
00:29:43.020They started to look out for people who they thought might have my body shape or might look like they have similar eyes to me.
00:29:53.860And one of those times I was assaulted in Portland.
00:29:58.300But your question about courage, for me, it's about it's not just me who's been personally victimized by them.
00:30:07.160I was beaten, but I was just one of many over the years who have been brutalized by them.
00:30:12.860And so I feel like I am fighting for truth and justice for a lot of other people who don't have an opportunity to share the stories, people who have also been ignored by law enforcement.
00:30:25.660So I'm doing this for a lot of other people.
00:30:28.900Andy, I'd like to do a podcast with you and really go deep into all of this.
00:31:29.700She was pretending to be her daughter to save her daughter's life.
00:31:35.000Brittany Cormier, 34, was found shot to death in her home, along with a 37-year-old neighbor who had been visiting her at the time.
00:31:45.160Brittany Cormier, the mom who sacrificed herself to save her daughter from the hitman.
00:31:49.880Investigators quickly focused on Cormier's brother, Beau Cormier, 35, a convicted sex offender accused of raping his niece.
00:32:00.580They had accused him of hiring two friends to kill the girl, even helping carry out the surveillance as he joined them on the first planned mission, which was aborted.
00:32:08.900When the killer struck on January 13th, Brittany pretended to be the target as her daughter and stepdaughter hid in a closet.
00:32:18.000Brittany was murdered as a result of telling the shooter that she was, in fact, the rape victim, likely saving the life of her daughter.
00:32:26.380The neighbor was shot dead while trying to fight off the gunman.
00:32:32.620Samantha Lemaire, a friend who said Cormier was like a sister to her, told the advocate that the mom would do anything for her kids.
00:32:41.040Hope Nettleton, a friend of Beau Cormier, was also killed.
00:32:44.540They knew that he was unstable, but they said they never thought it would come down to something like this.
00:32:54.020I'd like to think she locked them in the closet to protect them.
00:32:58.340Well, I think that's probably what mom did.
00:33:01.200Death penalty is definitely on the table, according to the district attorney.
00:33:05.920That is, I mean, in a day when heroics are few and far between and courage is hard to find, man, there is nothing more fierce than a mother.
00:33:19.760Do not get between a mom and her child.
00:33:23.540That's when everything changes and our prayers go out to this family.
