    Andy Ngo | Bret Weinsteins DarkHorse Podcast #1

    en-usJuly 02, 2019
    What happened to journalist Andy Ngo in Portland?
    How does the narrative about Ngo differ between political sides?
    What tactics do extremist groups use to justify their violence?
    Why do social media algorithms reinforce team biases?
    How can misinformation impact journalists and their safety?

    • Journalist Andy Ngo attacked by Antifa during protestJournalists face risks when reporting on controversial events, and violent groups like Antifa use anonymity to commit crimes without consequences, making it crucial for law enforcement to intervene.

      Journalism comes with risks, especially when reporting on controversial events. Andy Ngo, a journalist documenting protests in Portland, experienced a violent attack by Antifa, a far-left group known for their use of violence and anonymity. Despite knowing the potential danger, Ngo chose to attend the event, believing that the truth would outweigh the risks. However, his passive demeanor and lack of protective gear made him an easy target. The attackers, dressed in black to conceal their identities, used weaponized gloves to inflict serious damage. Ngo's experience highlights the importance of the rule of law and the need for authorities to take action against violent groups that intimidate and attack journalists. The anonymity that these groups use to commit crimes makes it difficult to hold them accountable, and the lack of consequences only encourages further violence.

    • Journalist attacked during protest despite police presenceJournalists face danger documenting protests, law enforcement failed to protect one in this incident, raising concerns about political leadership.

      During a protest, a journalist was brutally attacked by a masked crowd despite the presence of nearby police. The journalist, who was unarmed and posed no threat, was sucker-punched and sustained severe injuries. The attackers wore disguises and used weaponized gloves, making the assault even more cowardly. The journalist was left to fend for himself, hoping that the police would intervene. However, they did not, leaving him to make his way to safety on his own. This incident highlights the danger that journalists face when documenting protests, and the failure of law enforcement to protect them. It also raises concerns about the role of political leadership in maintaining law and order. The incident echoes similar experiences of other journalists and highlights the need for a mayor who is committed to enforcing the law impartially, regardless of political considerations.

    • Authorities inaction towards Antifa's violenceDespite federal warnings, local authorities' inaction towards Antifa's violent actions puts citizens at risk and legitimizes their militant behavior.

      The lack of response from authorities to the violent actions of Antifa, despite their public threats and history of militant violence, continues to put citizens at risk. A clear example of this was seen when a peaceful protestor, who was later hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage after being assaulted by Antifa members, felt let down by the authorities' inaction. The incident highlights the need for local authorities to heed the warnings of federal authorities regarding Antifa's domestic terrorist activities. Unfortunately, some city councils and media outlets share an ideological alignment with Antifa, which can legitimize their violent actions. It's crucial for authorities to take a firm stance against political violence, regardless of the political affiliations of the perpetrators or victims.

    • Paramilitary groups masquerading as antifascists use violence, intimidation, disinfoParamilitary groups labeled 'antifascist' use violence, intimidation, disinfo to suppress opposition, while political apparatus allows them to operate with impunity, reinforcing biases and limiting open discourse.

      The label "antifascist" given to some extremist groups does not accurately represent their actions and objectives. The speaker, who was attacked by such a group, described them as a paramilitary organization that uses violence, intimidation, disinformation, and misinformation against their opponents. The speaker also noted the irony of their chant "no hate, no fear" before the attack. These groups use terms like "diversity of tactics" and "self defense" to justify violent actions, but these terms have different meanings to them than to most people. The speaker believes that the political apparatus tacitly allows these groups to operate with impunity, creating a chilling effect on open discourse. The speaker also noted how deeply entrenched team biases are and how social media algorithms reinforce these biases, leading people to interpret events based on their preconceptions rather than the facts.

    • Misinformation about individuals based on political beliefsMislabeling individuals based on political beliefs can lead to dangerous misunderstandings and justifications for violence.

      The narrative about individuals can be drastically different depending on the source of information people consume. This discrepancy was evident in the case of Andy Ngo, a journalist who was attacked in Portland. The "usual suspects" on the left were quick to spread a negative narrative about him, labeling him as a provocateur and a right-wing commentator. In contrast, those on the right saw him as a journalist documenting protests. The divide in perceptions led to a misunderstanding of who Andy Ngo truly is. This misinformation is dangerous as it can justify violent attacks against individuals based on their political beliefs. The mainstream press, including The Oregonian, also contributed to the negative narrative by focusing on labels rather than Andy's work as a journalist. Ultimately, it's crucial to question the sources of information and to remember that politics should not determine whether someone deserves to be attacked or not. We are all Americans, and our political differences should not strip us of our basic human rights.

    • Attacks on journalists threaten freedom of speech and pressAttacks on journalists undermine trust in media and threaten democratic values by limiting freedom of speech and press

      The physical attack on a journalist for carrying out their duties is an attack on the fundamental principles of freedom of speech and press, which are essential to a democratic society. The spreading of false information and hoaxes, as seen in the case of accusations against the journalist, only adds to the harm and undermines trust in the media. It's important to call out and condemn such actions, as they threaten the safety and integrity of journalists and the information they provide to the public. In Portland, where the journalist was attacked, there have been allegations of hoaxes and violence by far-left groups, including Antifa, which raises concerns about the environment for journalists and decent people in the city. It's crucial to uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of journalists to report on events truthfully, without fear of violence or retaliation.

    • Portland's lawless environment and its impact on journalismThe mayor's policies and lack of enforcement have led to a lawless environment in Portland, enabling far-left activists to commit violence and spread misinformation, making journalism an uphill battle.

      The current situation in Portland, Oregon, regarding law and order, can be attributed to the mayor's policies and the lack of enforcement against all parties, regardless of political beliefs. The result of this is unacceptable and calls for action from the mayor. The polarized and toxic environment in Portland, where far-left activists are entitled to commit violence and self-define as acting on behalf of marginalized people, makes journalism an uphill battle. Misinformation and disinformation are used to delegitimize opponents, creating phantom enemies and preventing people from seeing the truth. The lack of a counterpoise providing different perspectives further exacerbates the issue. The situation in Portland highlights the need for clear definitions of extremism and the enforcement of the law against all parties to maintain a civilized society.

    • Threats to Journalists and Freedom of SpeechJournalists face increasing threats, impacting their safety and society's stability. Political leaders have a role in enabling such behavior, and understanding law's role is crucial for maintaining order.

      The threat to journalists and freedom of speech is a serious issue that should not be underestimated. The speaker, a journalist himself, shares his personal experiences of being targeted and the impact it had on him. He emphasizes that these incidents are not isolated and have become increasingly common, especially in certain cities. He also highlights the role of political leaders in enabling such behavior and the potential danger it poses to society as a whole. The speaker hopes that his experience can contribute to a national discourse on reducing militancy and taking the threat seriously, particularly in the lead up to elections. He underscores the importance of understanding the role of law and its enforcement in maintaining order and stability in society.

    • Support for journalists after attackThe attack on Andy Ngo sparked a large GoFundMe campaign, reminding us of the importance of standing up for journalists and free speech.

      The attack on journalist Andy Ngo in Portland served as a wake-up call for many people, encouraging them to support journalists and question the information they consume. The outpouring of support, in the form of a large GoFundMe campaign, was a heartening response to attempts to silence Ngo and other journalists. Despite feeling self-critical and overlooked at times, Ngo was moved by the magnitude of the support and the reminder that there are people who value his work. The incident also highlighted the importance of standing up against attempts to suppress free speech and the role of community in counteracting such actions.

    • Leadership, Courage, and Upholding the LawEffective leaders courageously enforce the law, even during protests, to maintain peace and order. Society's agreement against violence in public is essential, and leaders must uphold justice, regardless of political consequences. Seek diverse perspectives and engage in respectful dialogue to bridge political divides.

      Effective leadership requires courage and enforcement of the law, even in the face of political pressure. The discussion revolved around the speaker's personal experience of being attacked during a protest in Portland and the role of law enforcement in maintaining peace and order. The speaker argued that the mayor's reluctance to intervene in violent situations only emboldens the crowd and contributes to the chaos. Society's agreement against attacking each other in public, especially during protests, is crucial for maintaining order. The mayor, as a leader, has a responsibility to uphold the law and ensure justice, regardless of political consequences. Additionally, the speaker emphasized the importance of seeking out diverse perspectives and engaging in respectful dialogue, even when political beliefs differ. Ultimately, a just world would be one where these principles are upheld, and we can learn from each other's perspectives to bridge political divides.

    • Recognizing the humanity behind ideologiesIt's crucial to acknowledge the humanity of those with different beliefs, despite challenges, to foster meaningful dialogue and bridge divides.

      Engaging with those who hold different beliefs can be challenging, but it's essential to recognize the humanity behind the ideology. The speaker, Andy Ngo, shares his personal experience of being mobbed by antifa militants and how they refused to see him as a human being despite his attempts to connect with them. He emphasizes that it's easier to dehumanize opponents and attack their ideas or actions rather than engaging in meaningful dialogue. However, recognizing the danger of the movement while acknowledging that not all individuals are violent is a crucial distinction. Personal stories and experiences can help bridge divides and provide insight into the complexities of individuals involved in these movements. Ultimately, the hope is that through continued dialogue and understanding, change can occur, and we can all strive to see each other as human beings.

    • Andy Ngo's work and updatesFollow Andy Ngo on Twitter for latest updates, support him through Patreon, or donate via GoFundMe.

      Andy Ngo, a prominent journalist and researcher, shared his experiences and provided updates on his work during this interview. He emphasized the importance of following him on Twitter (@misterandyngo) for the most recent information on his publications. For those who find value in his work and wish to support him, there are options to subscribe through Patreon and other platforms. Additionally, a GoFundMe campaign set up by Michelle Malkin is available for those who wish to contribute. Throughout the conversation, the host expressed admiration for Andy's work and expressed a desire to have him back on the show in the future. Andy's resilience and dedication to his craft, despite the challenges he's faced, served as an inspiration for the audience.

    Science Friction: The 226th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    Science Friction: The 226th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    In this 226th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

    In this episode, we discuss a new breakthrough in plant genetics: polyploid potatoes and corn from Ohalo Genetics, which are claimed to double the harvest from individual plants. Beginning with a discussion of naturally occurring polyploidy in other species, including frogs, we analyze the discussion of Ohalo’s new products with an evolutionary lens. Is it possible that biotechnology can evade trade-offs, or is this utopian thinking in the corporate world? Why do so many mistakes of modernity come in the form of people accustomed to complicated systems, applying their knowledge to complex systems? Finally: does Terrence Howard (recently on Joe Rogan) have a predictive model, or is he just blowing smoke?

    Everything Under the Sun: The 225th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    Everything Under the Sun: The 225th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    In this 225th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

    In this episode, we discuss assassination attempts, the sun, pharmaceuticals, and the American presidency. Assassination: Robert Fico, the president of Slovakia, was shot several days after announcing that his country would reject the WHO Pandemic Treaty. The sun: last weekend’s dramatic aurora were the visible manifestation of the strongest solar storm in 19 years; how should we be thinking about mitigating the risks to our electrical grid, and to our society, from future storms that will surely come? Also: how do risks from biotic vs abiotic forces differ? Pharma: Semaglutide (aka Ozempic) helps protects against heart disease! Or…not. We dive into the research that supposedly produced this result, complete with conflicts of interest between Novo Nordisk and the conference in Italy where the work was presented. Biden: invites Trump to debate, with conditions.

    Anecdote in Science: The 224th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    Anecdote in Science: The 224th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    In this 224th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

    In this episode, we discuss animal behavior: the implications of an orangutan using a medicinal plant to treat a wound, and the one-off videos that we’ve all seen—of cats preventing toddlers from falling, of a beluga whale retrieving a woman’s phone. What does this say about the minds of these other organisms, and about us? Also: dog domestication, from wolves, but not from foxes. And: the New York Times publishes more insipid garbage about vaccine injury, Bret returns to the question of what safety means, and The Nation turns its back on its muckraking roots.

    Never Alone: The 223rd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    In this 223rd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

    In this episode, we discuss science and religion, materialism and other ways of understanding our world. Can analysis and quantification explain everything? Can narrative, intuition, and creativity? All are or should be part of the scientific process; science is incomplete with only one mode. We also discuss models, how they fail, how difficult they are to assess, and what one recent climate model has to say about the role of air pollution in Earth’s temperature. Enlightenment values require that we use our freedom to inquire about all things that we are curious about. Also: happy Beltane!

    Why Darwin was Right: The 222nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    Why Darwin was Right: The 222nd Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

    In this 222nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

    In this episode, we discuss evolution, and how we know that it is true. We discuss the different kinds of beliefs that people have—beliefs that attempt to reconcile with reality, vs beliefs that reconcile with social standing and comfort. If your beliefs put you on the outs with your friends, do you change your beliefs, or your friends? Are you willing to give up the cocktail party for reality? We also discuss research published in 2000 and funded by Fauci’s NIAID, which demonstrated that it was possible to make chimeric coronaviruses, swapping the spike protein from one to a different species entirely. Finally: sex-biased gene expression, in which genes are expressed differently in the two sexes, in anatomical systems as varied as brain, kidneys, and liver.
