antifa

In today's episode, Andy answers your questions on what role he believes the United States should play in helping other countries, how to differentiate between distractions and opportunities while working towards your goals, and what the defining factors are between a scalable business and one that is not.

In today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss Biden's plan to issue an executive order for the climate crisis, Antifa being chased away after picking a fight with a biker gang, and the police identifying the victims along with the hero bystander who killed the shooter.

Andy Ngo is an independent journalist and photographer who lives under constant threats for his reporting and expertise on American Antifa and the militant far-left. He has testified before the U.S. Congress, appeared on countless TV shows, radio programs, and podcasts, and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Newsweek, Fox News, National Review, and more. Andy is currently the editor-at-large at the Post Millennial.

In this episode, I discuss Andy’s experiences with Antifa, race riots, autonomous zones, and the ‘summer of love’ in Seattle. We also exchanged thoughts on the psychology of mob violence, journalistic integrity, dealing with criticism, using people for political ends, attempts to destabilize the police, and lots more.

An Antifa member just waged a terrorist attack against a government facility. Prominent Democrats absolutely refuse to condemn the act. We'll talk about why. Also, Joe Biden reveals his stunning historical ignorance. And I'll explain why we should all stop watching Disney movies. It's not a boycott. This is about self-respect. Date: 07-16-2019

Today on the show, the domestic terror group Antifa staged a violent riot over the weekend. People were pepper sprayed, bludgeoned with crowbars, and more. A journalist was put in the hospital. Antifa is nothing but a violent hate group and it should not have any right to exist. But what's most concerning is the reaction (or lack there of) on the Left. We'll talk about it today.
