M what's
0:04
part in my twos? I'm Robert
0:06
Evans, host behind the Bastards. Uh, this
0:08
is what what what?
0:10
What is? What is what? What is what? The last ye,
0:12
Sophie, let's
0:15
part in my twos. That's a solid introduction.
0:18
I think you nailed it, Thank
0:21
you, Jack. Sophie is being mean
0:23
to me because she's the bastard of
0:25
this episode. Um
0:28
well really how mean she is to me? Yeah?
0:31
You know, I'm still building to that one.
0:38
Uh. This is the show about the worst people
0:41
in all the history, obviously, And in last
0:43
episode we talked about James O'Keefe,
0:45
the patron saint of news grifters, and in
0:47
this episode we're going to talk about I
0:49
don't know, he hasn't worked with O'Keefe,
0:51
but you might call him his spiritual disciple,
0:54
a fella named Andy No. Uh.
0:57
Now, James O'Keeffe is higher profile than have
0:59
you heard a thing about Andy No? Jack? A recent
1:02
attest started seeing people tweet
1:04
about him and yeah, I saw the
1:06
hammer thing that happened. Yeah,
1:08
that was him where he claimed
1:11
the Antifa attacked somebody
1:13
with a hammer and it was actually then being
1:15
at that Yeah.
1:17
Yeah, And Andy's a frequent guest on Tucker
1:19
Carlson. He's very influential.
1:21
He just hasn't been around as long as O'Keefe
1:23
in the media sphere, so he's not quite as well known,
1:26
although he's getting to be that way, so
1:28
it's probably good for us to talk about him today.
1:31
Uh Andy Kuong No was born
1:33
in Portland, Oregon, at some point in nineteen
1:36
eighties six. I don't have an exact birth date
1:38
for the guy. His parents had immigrated
1:40
from Vietnam via boat slightly less
1:42
than a decade before. They've been forced into
1:45
re education camps by the country's government,
1:47
which may explain some of the political attitudes
1:49
that No inherited. As a young
1:51
man, No intended U c l A
1:53
and volunteered with AmeriCorps. He graduated
1:56
in two thousand nine with a graphic design degree.
1:59
Like roughly forty scent of the people I went
2:01
to college with, and like all of
2:03
my friends, he was unable to find any work
2:05
because graphic design degrees were essentially
2:07
a scam played upon members of my generation.
2:10
Uh He was forced to take work as a photographer for
2:13
a used car lot, and he spent a lot of time unemployed.
2:16
No would later tell BuzzFeed quote. My
2:18
brain wasn't a stupor. I couldn't spend the rest of
2:20
my life going from minimum wage job to minimum
2:22
wage job. It's pretty
2:24
sympathetic so far. A lot of us have been
2:26
there. Uh, like
2:29
many millennials who realized they'd been grifted
2:31
by the system into taking on buckets of student
2:33
loan debt for a degree that wouldn't actually get them
2:35
a job, and he turned back towards the only
2:37
thing that made sense to him, more school
2:39
and more student loan debt. In two thousand
2:41
and fifteen, he enrolled in a master's program
2:43
and political science at Portland State University.
2:47
So yeah, that's this guy's story so
2:49
far. Now. No had been raised
2:51
Buddhist and converted to Christianity
2:54
in high school, but he became an atheist in the mid
2:56
oughts. In two thousand twelve, he attended a Portland
2:58
convention of the Freedom From Legion Foundation.
3:01
As he got drawn into Internet atheist
3:03
circles, he grew increasingly concerned about
3:05
Islam. This was heightened in two thousand, fourteen
3:08
and fifteen as the Islamic state rose to prominence.
3:10
No became fascinated with radicalism,
3:12
and not just the Muslim kind. As
3:15
social justice causes became more prominent
3:17
across American campuses, Andy No grew
3:19
concerned that a frenzy was overtaking American
3:22
culture. According to a BuzzFeed
3:24
profile quote, he attended an event
3:26
at PSU where he said white students
3:28
weren't allowed to speak, and another where he said
3:30
a black student said she feared that she would be
3:32
killed on campus by a white supremacist.
3:35
I'm from this city, No remembered thinking,
3:37
and they believe Portland's state is a place where there are a
3:39
white racist all over who can come out but at
3:41
any time and kill you. It didn't seem to fit
3:43
with reality. More than that, No thought
3:45
he saw parallels with the Marxist Revolution his
3:47
parents had lived through in Vietnam. I was deeply
3:50
curious on how those beliefs could take root in my family's
3:52
adopted hometown. So
3:55
a couple of things to note, one of which is that Oregon
3:57
was literally founded as a white supremacist state,
3:59
and there have been several very well documented
4:02
murders of black people by white supremacists
4:05
in Portland itself within the
4:07
last couple of decades, so it's
4:11
well it was attempted a guy
4:13
named Jeremy Christian carried out an
4:15
attack on a Portland Max train where he
4:17
was threatening violence on
4:20
two young Muslim women, one of him was
4:22
black, and two other passengers
4:24
intervened and were stabbed to death protecting
4:26
them. That was so. Yeah,
4:29
there's a reason to be scared of white supremacists
4:31
if you live in the city of Portland. Yeah.
4:33
What a silly claim that woman
4:36
was making. Yes, Yes,
4:38
stupid of her to be worried, uh
4:41
about white supremacists who have only
4:43
killed a couple of people in Oregon recently,
4:46
as opposed to worried about Muslims who have killed
4:49
zero oregon Ians. Uh. In
4:52
by being attacked and
4:55
thus drawing that person to uh
4:59
defend her, wasn't that woman? Uh
5:02
sort of responsible? She
5:04
was? She was. If she
5:06
had just not been on
5:09
the bus, there would have been no attack. Yeah.
5:12
I mean, there's two sides here. There's
5:14
two sides here, both sides of this one. Robert.
5:17
Yeah, that does remind me of how
5:19
it was explained to me traffic
5:21
rules work for foreigners in Japan that if
5:23
you're a foreigner and you're involved in a traffic altercation,
5:26
it's generally viewed as your fault because if you
5:28
hadn't moved to Japan, the
5:30
crash wouldn't happen. Um,
5:35
yeah, now, no
5:37
claims. All of this stuff pushed him into becoming
5:40
a free speech activist and a journalist.
5:42
He joined the Portland State Vanguard, a school
5:44
paper, as its multimedia editor. In
5:46
two thousands seventeen, he showed up at an interfaith
5:49
talk at the university called Unpacking
5:51
Misconceptions. During the talk, a
5:53
Muslim student was asked for their interpretation
5:55
of chronic law and how it would apply to
5:57
non Muslims living in an Islamic state
5:59
if that country applied the strictest interpretations
6:02
of chronic law. The student
6:04
responded that, based on her understanding, non Muslims
6:07
would be asked to leave the country. The implication
6:09
is that they would be killed if they did not. Another
6:12
Muslim immediately argued against this interpretation
6:14
of the law, which is, by the way, absolutely
6:17
not what the Koran says. It's actually the opposite
6:19
of a bunch of ship. Mohammed said, Uh,
6:21
if you're a Muslim and running a society
6:23
according to like the rules Mohammed set out, you're
6:25
actually required to treat people of the book
6:28
in certain ways and protect them. Um,
6:30
but no, ignored that other students response,
6:32
and ignored the fact that the first response had been to
6:34
a theoretical question, not the student being
6:37
asked what they wanted. He tweeted a video
6:39
clip of just the response with the words
6:41
at Portland State inter Faith panel today, the
6:43
Muslim student speakers said that Apple States will
6:46
be killed or banished in an Islamic state. Sounds
6:50
great. Journalism would say it at
6:52
an all faiths Uh yeah,
6:55
college. Yeah,
6:57
and we see kind of the same O'Keefe,
6:59
tach dick where you you you
7:02
pick out just the answer to a question
7:04
that if you strip it up all context sounds
7:06
bad. But if included with context,
7:09
is just people having a discussion. Um,
7:12
but you don't include the discussion because the
7:14
news story is just that clip. Um
7:17
yeah. It was a moment perfectly crafted for the
7:19
right wing rage machine. Bright Bart quickly
7:21
farted out a news story titled Muslim student
7:24
claims that nonbelievers will be killed in Islamic
7:26
countries. So the fallout
7:29
all this was significant. Andy was fired
7:31
from the newspaper, which led to more rage from
7:33
the right as they rallied around their victimized
7:35
truth teller. Andy was allowed to write an op
7:37
ed for The National Review where he basically claimed
7:39
that he had been let go for exposing the moral
7:41
bankruptcy at the heart of multiculturalism.
7:44
The Vanguard's editor said that Andy had been fired
7:46
instead for oversimplifying the student's
7:48
answered to the point of rank and accuracy. The
7:51
editor also noted that Andy seemed baffling
7:53
le and dangerously focused on Islam,
7:55
despite the fact that very few Muslim people
7:57
live anywhere in Oregon and there have been no Islamic
8:00
terrorist attacks in the state of note uh
8:02
now that any hope of Yeah, so at
8:05
this point, any hope of career, of Andy's
8:07
career as a legitimate journalist had been shot, and
8:09
Andy no moved on to the refuge of all shameless
8:12
partisan hacks. Are they suggesting that
8:14
nine eleven was not an attack
8:16
on all of America? Because
8:19
that's bullshit. We
8:21
were all attacked that day, all right,
8:23
we were all attacked that day.
8:26
I mean, I guess fair on your joke
8:28
too. I'm sure in Oregon ian or two died
8:31
in that attack, But yeah,
8:34
I don't know. It's just it's telling that his focus
8:36
is entirely on Islam, when if
8:38
you look at the problem of political and religious
8:40
violence in Oregon. Um,
8:43
that's not really a big issue there.
8:46
Um. Yeah. So and
8:48
he moves on to podcasting after he gets
8:50
kicked out of the newspaper. Uh. And I
8:52
hate to admit it, Jack, but he kind of picked
8:54
a perfect title for his new show, You
8:57
want to You want to guess what Andy No calls his podcast,
9:00
uh something
9:03
with his last name you.
9:05
Yeah, it is something, It's Yeah. He called
9:07
it Things you Should Know.
9:12
Mm hmmmmm wow. I
9:15
mean yes, And he already
9:18
has a job, so I can't go out and hire him on
9:20
the spot. No, No, you can't. Um.
9:23
I mean I was ripping him off when
9:25
I pitched the title for this podcast initially
9:27
as Things you should Robert Evans. Um.
9:30
We we didn't go with that for some reason. But
9:34
I mean, maybe we could sue him
9:36
for copyright infringement for stuff you should
9:39
Know? Yes, you should know? So.
9:42
Uh. Andy's guests were men like Jordan Peterson,
9:44
YouTuber Sargon of a Cod, Dave Ruben,
9:47
and other alt right in intellectual dark Web
9:49
figures. But podcasting is hard
9:51
and only super profitable if you have the voice of
9:53
a Greek god like us, or you happen
9:55
to be Joe Rogan. Like Joe Rogan, uh
9:58
so, Andy No looked towards the
10:00
and a highly lucrative example set
10:02
by what I
10:04
liked that Yeah,
10:09
that part was fun to write. Um.
10:12
Yeah, so Andy looked towards the highly
10:14
lucrative example set by James O'Keeffe.
10:16
Uh Andy had already succeeded in making one
10:19
story go viral on the right wing, and unfortunately
10:21
he hadn't moved quick enough to properly capitalize
10:24
on the opportunity. So he set to work crafting
10:26
another viral piece of fake news and the hope
10:28
that it, too would set the right wing rage machine
10:30
a light and direct donations to his patreon.
10:33
On August twenty nine, two eighteen,
10:35
Andy No published an article titled a
10:38
Visit to Islamic England on the Wall
10:40
Street Journal. I'm just gonna read how
10:42
this article opened a visit
10:44
to Islamic England. The subheading is Muslims
10:47
headed to Friday prayer while non Muslims
10:49
went the other way. No one made
10:51
eye contact. Here's
10:53
how it opens London. Other
10:55
tourists may remember London for its spectacular
10:58
sites in history, but I remember it for his um.
11:00
When I was visiting the UK as a teenager in
11:02
two thousand and six, I got lost in an East London
11:04
market. There I saw a group of women wearing
11:07
head to toe black cloaks. I froze,
11:09
confused and intimidated by the faceless figures.
11:11
It was my first encounter within Ni Cobb, which
11:13
covers everything but a woman's eyes. Yeah.
11:18
I did actually include this in the script.
11:20
But there's literally a quote from Adolph
11:22
Hitler where he's talking about how he first realized
11:25
the Jews were dangerous, where he talks
11:27
about seeing a fundamentalist
11:29
Jewish man wearing like the hair locks
11:32
and the yamaka in public in Vienna,
11:35
and like he said, I found myself asking
11:37
first is this a Jew? And then
11:40
is this a German? Like that? That's literally
11:42
something Adolph Hitler wrote about, like his like
11:45
that's how Andy opens this fucking article.
11:48
Um, this was published in what publications?
11:50
The Wall Street motherfucking journal
11:53
what, which you might remember, Google
11:55
considers to be the most credible source.
11:57
Yeah, I mean because they
12:00
over both sides, the cified
12:03
of people from other cultures
12:06
and and the
12:08
other side. Yeah,
12:11
it's um, it's pretty
12:13
wild. Now. The article was torn apart
12:15
by people who actually live in England, which,
12:17
in case you were not aware, Jack is not an
12:19
Islamic state. Muslims makeup roughly
12:21
five percent of the English population. No,
12:23
he just saw one one of them
12:26
and it scared him. It scared
12:28
him. People weren't making eye contact Jack. Yeah.
12:32
And also this is a story
12:34
of a time he got scared in two
12:36
thousand six. Yeah, I think
12:38
so. Yeah,
12:41
Yeah, I think he went more recently for the
12:44
article, like for the like he he opens it
12:46
with a story of himself there in two thousand and six. He's
12:48
a bit of an anglophile, but he he went back
12:50
for the article. Um, so you
12:52
know that that. I should note that in fairness,
12:55
In more fairness, I should note that exaggerations
12:58
and outright bullshit were very common in the
13:00
article. At one point, Andy No complained
13:03
about seeing a sign that called a neighborhood
13:05
and alcohol restricted zone. Without
13:08
doing any further research, Like a journalist,
13:10
Andy just assumed that since alcohol is haram
13:12
from Muslims, they were behind this nefarious
13:15
sign. The reality is that this neighborhood
13:17
was an alcohol free zone due to a public safety
13:19
ordinance created to stem a massive public
13:22
drunkenness problem. Alcohol itself
13:24
was not banned, just street drinking. But
13:26
of course Andy did no digging and blamed
13:28
Muslims for banning alcohol in this neighborhood.
13:31
Muslims for the fact that you're not allowed
13:34
to drink on the street in America. Yeah,
13:37
it's it's fucking wild man. Yeah,
13:42
I I do shout that regularly
13:44
at police when they arrest me for public drunkenness.
13:47
What is this isis? Yeah,
13:50
I should note that I've spent time, like,
13:52
obviously there are Muslim countries where
13:54
alcohol is forbidden or very difficult
13:57
to acquire. But I have gotten so
13:59
drunk in so many Muslim majority
14:02
nations and never had
14:04
a problem with it, and
14:06
met so many Muslims who were like, oh, yeah,
14:08
we drink too, it's fine, Like it's it's like
14:11
you meet a lot of Jewish people who eat shellfish,
14:13
you know. But for whatever reason, because
14:16
conservatives are scared of Muslims, they assume
14:18
that it's some like hardcore dictate
14:20
that every one of them follows, which
14:22
like if you've ever, I don't know, I've
14:24
I've gotten drunk with a lot of young women in head
14:26
scarfs, Like it's it's far
14:29
from universally applied. I didn't make eye contact
14:32
with you. How did you manage
14:34
to unfreeze yourself while you
14:36
were around those women? I mean, I will
14:38
say they were not wearing the cobs. Have never
14:40
gotten drunk with somebody wearing the full na cob.
14:42
Those people tend to be much more
14:44
serious about the letter of
14:46
of of Islamic Jewish prudence
14:49
or whatever you call it. But um yeah uh
14:52
now. In response to complaints about his shitty
14:54
article, Andy wrote a follow up in The American
14:56
Spectator, another right wing news site. Here's
14:58
how he tried to defend him self. These vitriolic
15:01
attacks all seized on my mistake over the sign
15:03
as evidence of my prejudice against Muslims.
15:05
In fact, it was just trying and perhaps sometimes
15:07
failing, to describe what I saw. I admit
15:10
to having been surprised by quite how segregated
15:12
some parts of Britain have become. I tried it to make judgments
15:14
about that, But what I believe to be true is that Britain's
15:16
multicultural policies had produced with Nobel
15:18
Prize winning economist Martya Sin calls
15:21
plural monol culturism. That is,
15:23
different communities or mono cultures existing
15:25
side by side with literally to no interaction
15:27
with one another, which I don't know if
15:29
you've ever seen what drunken British people eat
15:31
when they're out on the street, which tends to be donner
15:34
Kebab's like like, there's there's
15:36
plenty of interchange, and
15:39
so he's saying that. He was actually
15:41
talking about how the cultures
15:43
don't interact enough. It
15:45
was his was his issue. But
15:48
he's the one who in the
15:50
story that opens the piece, freezes
15:54
and terror when he sees a
15:56
Muslim woman. Yeah, I think,
15:59
as as is generally true with bigots,
16:01
his writing reveals his own prejudices
16:03
more than it does any actual problems
16:05
at the core of British culture or multiculturalism
16:08
as a whole. So uh. Sadly,
16:10
this article did not succeed in making Annie
16:12
Know a household name or hurning him a spot
16:14
with an outfit like Project Veritas,
16:17
so he kept going. In the wake of the Jesse Smollett
16:19
case, he started keeping a running tally of fake
16:22
hate crimes, which he would collect and cover
16:24
in articles with titles like Inventing
16:26
Victimhood and hate Crime Hoaxes
16:28
Reflect America's sickness, and
16:31
he also took to the streets live streaming and writing
16:33
about the escalating series of violent political
16:35
rallies that have rocked Portland since the two thousand
16:37
sixteen election. In October of eighteen,
16:40
he showed up at a peaceful rally by the activist
16:42
group Don't Shoot Portlands, a march raising
16:44
awareness for the police killing of Patrick Kimmins,
16:47
a twenty seven year old black man. This
16:49
was a fairly tame and orderly march. The
16:51
only really negative moment came when a driver
16:53
made an a legal right hand turn and hit some
16:55
protesters who were legally crossing a crosswalk.
16:58
This led several protests just to hit the driver's
17:01
vehicle. One protester shoved the driver.
17:03
No one was seriously hurt, and the driver was allowed
17:06
to pull away. A reasonable person
17:08
might conclude that the protesters raged at the driver
17:10
was understandable, given that he'd driven a car
17:12
into them, and given the car based terrorist attack
17:15
on protesters in Charlottesville a year
17:17
before. But a
17:19
right wing radio station w CBM
17:21
retweeted footage of one angle of the altercation,
17:24
edited to remove all context of the event. They
17:26
tweeted out with this, Antifa anarchists
17:28
threatened elderly driver in Portland. The
17:31
story spread across white right wing media. One
17:33
of the people who helped to spread it was Andy no
17:36
Uh nose tweets eventually reached
17:38
Tucker Carlson, and Mr Carlson had Andy
17:41
no on as a guest to discuss the attack.
17:43
So that's what we're gonna listen to next.
17:45
But first, Sophie is informing me via
17:48
vociferously waved fingers that it
17:50
is time for an ad break. So
17:54
yep, yep, what
17:56
what's what's an ad break? Well,
18:00
act, I don't know if you realize this, but
18:02
the money in podcasting comes
18:05
from a collection of advertisers
18:07
who who support our
18:10
our content with their products and
18:12
services and the advertising petro dollars
18:14
that they generate. Um
18:17
petro dollars. Yeah, I
18:19
try to use that term once a day. Um.
18:21
I usually just shouted at people on the street
18:24
as I drive past. But today it's going to be in a podcast.
18:28
Products we're
18:35
back, so uh, we're talking about
18:37
you know, this car hits protesters. Some of
18:39
them hit the car back because they're angry getting
18:42
hit by a car, and uh. The story spreads
18:44
and right wing media as anarchists threatening
18:46
an elderly driver. UM.
18:48
Dr Carlson has Andy No on to discuss
18:51
the event the attack. Uh.
18:53
The on screen shiron above their
18:56
below the discussion is antipha violence
18:58
out of control. So I'm gonna play a ship from
19:00
that. Here's Andy no talking to Tucker
19:02
Carlson. Some of the footage you showed
19:05
was recorded over the weekend on Saturday
19:07
by Brandon Farley, and
19:09
that was a protest
19:11
organized by Don't Shoot Portland's,
19:14
which is a Black Lives Matter
19:16
type of group. They were protesting the
19:18
police involved shooting of
19:20
a man who is suspective of
19:22
shooting two people. The
19:25
police here, um take
19:27
a pretty hands off approach much of the time
19:29
with protesters. And what
19:33
you saw on Saturday in the video
19:35
is that demonstrators were
19:38
allowed to take over a street
19:40
in downtown Portland and
19:43
direct traffic and threatened drivers
19:46
stop traffic while the
19:48
police looked on from a block away
19:51
because they were afraid of inflaming the situation.
19:54
So, um, there's a couple of things
19:56
you might have noticed from that video. One
19:59
of them is and he's accent was
20:01
as Yeah, that's his fake British
20:04
accent um, which he has affected
20:06
since he became a media personality.
20:08
I want to reiterate that he was born and raised
20:11
in Portland, Oregon. I was so confused
20:13
by that. Yeah, yeah, he he
20:16
pretends to be British. Sounds like
20:19
what's his name, Sebastian Gorka.
20:21
Yeah, he's not good at having a fake British
20:23
accent, but I think he's he's a real Anglo
20:25
file. Um. Yeah, he's
20:27
He sounds a little bit like Frasier Crane.
20:30
Um. Yeah. Now the
20:32
other thing you may have noticed is that in this
20:34
interview he basically describes
20:36
the police as ignoring anti fascists.
20:39
At one point, he says that the response to Antifa
20:41
has been hands off in the city of Portland.
20:43
I should note that he described this response as hands
20:45
off five months after Portland police opened
20:48
fire with grenades upon a crowd of anti fascist
20:50
activists. One man was shot in the
20:52
back of the head the less than lethal munition
20:54
cractice skull and would have killed him had he not been
20:56
wearing a helmet. Um. But
20:58
that hands off them with their
21:01
hands I mean with Truncheon's
21:06
hands off technically. Uh
21:08
so. The faux outrage over this non incident
21:11
helped inspire a patriot prayer rally
21:13
organized by the group's leader, Joey Gibson,
21:15
which he called Flash March for Law and Order
21:18
in Portland. The march provided
21:20
onlookers with a great example of what happens when
21:22
these far right rallies are not met by an organized
21:24
anti fascist presence. Right wing brawlers
21:27
assaulted numerous people on the street as scattered
21:29
anti fascists struggled to respond. You can find
21:31
video of right wing gang members stomping on people
21:33
and punching them unprovoked. This happened
21:35
a matter of days after a group of Proud Boys ran
21:37
rough shot over a neighborhood in New York City, assaulting
21:40
outnumbered counter protesters. Now
21:42
andy No hadn't filmed the video of the car
21:44
assault that Tucker Carlson publicized, but he had
21:46
helped spread it, and by showing up on Carlson's
21:49
show pretending to be a non biased journalist
21:51
in making anti fascists look dangerous, he'd
21:53
found a lucrative niche for himself, the
21:55
one that he had been looking for all his career.
21:59
So a little bit after that video went
22:01
viral, another video went viral
22:03
on Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller as
22:06
a result of a tweet that Andy No had sent out
22:08
on the surface. This video showed a left wing activist
22:11
yelling at a woman who claimed to be a nine eleven
22:13
widow. She was not actually a nine eleven
22:15
widow. She was lying about that, but Tucker
22:17
Carlson credited No with bringing the video to a site's
22:20
attention, although No had not actually
22:22
filmed it. The video ignited the right wing rage
22:24
machine and sent hundreds of extremely online
22:26
conservatives into a doxing frenzy.
22:28
Unfortunately, they were bad at it, and rather than doxing
22:31
the actual activists, they docked a professional
22:33
skateboarder that they misidentified as the culprit.
22:35
When the actual dude was finally identified, he
22:38
received mass death threats, as did the social
22:40
service agency who employed him. According
22:42
to a round guptam who interviewed a source at the agency,
22:45
it was quote flooded with hundreds of harassing
22:47
calls and Facebook messages that were explicitly
22:49
racist and threatening to harm and kill staff.
22:52
So this has going on for months
22:55
on end Andy No publicizing and often
22:57
editing misleading videos to sick angry conservatives
22:59
on coal Portland activists, many
23:01
of them have received death threats as a result of this. In
23:04
an article for the left wing website Jacobin.
23:06
Gupta notes quote Jacobin has talked
23:08
to six people in Portland, including journalists,
23:10
political officials, and activists, who described
23:13
harassing messages and threats of violence resulting
23:15
from nose work or political involvement in Portland.
23:18
Friends of two other activists claim they went into hiding
23:20
after No spread their names and they became targets of
23:22
harassment. Some individuals who's tangled
23:24
publicly with No are reluctant to go on their record.
23:26
They say they want to avoid the trauma of being subjected
23:29
to a new round of death threats. In
23:31
fact, and you know, seems to rely on people
23:33
not speaking of about his effect on them. He often
23:35
writes of how activists won't talk to him or
23:37
how they take down social media profiles after
23:39
he focuses on them, seeming to imply they
23:41
have something to hide. Madison, a Portland
23:44
activists who tracks No, says No signals
23:46
that this is a person that should be targeted, should
23:48
be harassed, and should be threatened, and he puts
23:50
a target on them, and that results in the person being doxed,
23:53
and he is giving people explicit permission
23:55
to unleash hatred and violence on people. He
23:57
absolutely knows what he's doing, knows
24:01
what he's doing. Uh,
24:03
you did it. Yeah, I can do
24:05
the thing that he does. Yep,
24:07
yep, it is okay for us to do because
24:10
he did it. Um.
24:12
Now we're actually gonna run into another
24:14
case like that a little later. Uh nos role
24:16
in stoking harassment against against individuals
24:18
he disagrees with goes even deeper than that. See.
24:21
Andy is now an editor at the far right
24:23
website Quilette, which, among other things,
24:25
runs articles that advocate for a cleaned up,
24:27
modern version of phrenology. Earlier
24:30
this year, Quilette ran an article by a researcher
24:32
named Yoin uh Lenihan. On
24:34
its surface, the article purported to be
24:36
a groundbreaking study laying out a network
24:38
of journalists who were secretly connected
24:40
to Antifa. Now, the reality
24:43
is that Yoin is no more a researcher
24:45
than I am a tennis pro. His idea
24:47
of being connected to Antifa was no
24:50
deeper than tracking journalists who followed at least
24:52
sixteen verified Antifa accounts
24:54
and wrote articles he considered sympathetic to
24:56
anti fascists. There are a number
24:58
of reasons this is absurd. For example,
25:01
I follow at least sixteen anti fascist
25:03
accounts. I also follow Augustus
25:05
and Victus, a literal neo Nazi running
25:07
for president. I followed members of numerous
25:10
right wing, extremist and terrorist groups on
25:12
Twitter, because as a journalist, that's
25:14
kind of what you do now.
25:16
The Independent, in coverage of this even noted
25:18
that Quilett's founding editor, Claire Lehman, follows
25:21
more than sixteen white nationalist accounts
25:23
on Twitter. But the fact that Lenihan was
25:25
a complete fraud with no academic credentials,
25:27
and the fact that his study was nonsense had no
25:29
impact on Quilette. The study spread
25:32
like wildfire through the fever swamps of the right and
25:34
eventually made its way into the phones and computers
25:36
of actual Nazi terrorists. One
25:38
white nationalists tied to the Adam Waffen Division,
25:40
posted a YouTube video that showed pictures
25:42
of several of the journalists named in the Quilette article.
25:45
The video was titled Sunset the Media,
25:47
and it not so subtly suggested that these
25:49
people should be murdered. The video ended
25:52
with a quote from James Mason, a neo
25:54
Nazi terrorist and author of the book Siege,
25:56
which is a guide for how to commit terrorism.
25:59
The quote was about so called lone wolf attacks.
26:01
Mason said quote, I do not urge anyone
26:03
to do anything like that, but when it gets
26:06
done, I won't disown them. Jesus.
26:09
Now, this all kind of pisces me off because
26:11
a lot of the people named in the article
26:13
and in that video, our colleagues and friends
26:15
of mine. The Quilette article made it onto
26:17
Stormfront and neo Nazi message board, the FBI
26:20
has tied to more than a hundred murders, and it's
26:22
led to a lot of death threats from different groups
26:24
towards journalists who are really good reporters.
26:27
By publishing the shot a piece of crap journalism,
26:30
the editors at Quilette endangered the lives of innocent
26:32
people. One of those people was reporter
26:34
Shane Burley, he noted in an article
26:36
for The Independent. Quote in a tweet, Quilette
26:39
contributor Andy No attempted to identify
26:41
us and others as covert Antifa ideologues
26:44
posing as experts for willing journalists, all
26:46
of whom apparently have joined together in a plot to
26:48
create some kind of media Antifa industrial
26:51
complex. So you can see why
26:53
a lot of people in Portland are not exactly
26:55
big fans of Mr Andy No. Their
26:57
distaste for him would intensify after May
26:59
one, two thousand nineteen. Now
27:02
Portland is obviously a very left wing city,
27:04
and made a marches are common there due to the
27:07
sheer number of leftist activists in the streets.
27:09
Right wing protesters like Joey Gibson, Patriot
27:11
Prayer, and Century Proud Boys avoided
27:13
hosting a single event where they would be swamped
27:15
and swarmed, and instead traveled around in a small
27:17
group, demasking people and generally trolling.
27:20
At the end of the day, they headed to a popular
27:22
anti fascist hang out in the city named
27:25
Cider Riot. Now cider Riot
27:27
is a bar, although they get angry if you call them a
27:29
bar and prefer the term CIDERI I'm going to be referring
27:31
to them as a bar because they're a bar. Uh.
27:36
Sorry, cider right. Uh.
27:38
Joey Gibson and a group of his goons showed up
27:40
there with Andy No in tow and assaulted
27:42
several people there. Ian Kramer, a member
27:45
of Patriot Prayer, whipped out a telescoping
27:47
baton and shattered a young woman's vertebrae
27:49
with it. The attack is on video
27:52
and it is entirely unprovoked. There was no
27:54
fight, just a violent assault that you could very
27:56
fairly call attempted murder. Hey,
27:58
everybody, one quick bit of clarification.
28:01
When I say there was no fight, like there was a
28:03
big brawl going on at cider Riot
28:05
that was started initially when some guys from
28:07
Patriot Prayer began macing the
28:09
people at Cider Riot and they sprayed mace back,
28:11
and it eventually evolved into throwing stuff
28:13
and then a fist fight. Um. When I say there
28:16
was no fight, I mean that the young woman whose vertebrate
28:18
was broken was not fighting. She in fact
28:20
had her back turn to Ian Cramer at the time
28:22
when he swung at her. So I just wanted to clarify
28:25
on that point. Now. In
28:27
recent days, there have been a number of arrests
28:29
I think six so far due to the May Day attack,
28:32
but we're gonna get to that later. In the immediate
28:34
wake of the attack, is Portland Local shared
28:36
video of the brutal assault, Andy publicly
28:38
doubted on Twitter whether the woman had suffered any
28:41
kind of serious injury. He also
28:43
docked her in a tweet in which he claimed, without
28:45
proof that she had committed crimes at a previous
28:47
event. His tweet read the anti
28:49
full woman who got knocked out cold at may Day
28:51
is and he gave her name. She is the person who
28:53
tried to shut down the James to More Portland State
28:55
panel last year by sabotaging and damaging
28:57
sound equipment. Now, as
29:00
you might imagine, this piste off more people.
29:02
Several folks who were at cider Riot claimed
29:04
No had basically lured them out of the bar and was
29:06
thus a willing participant in the attack. I
29:08
haven't seen any event that this is true, but
29:10
I say this in order to give you an idea of the sort
29:12
of attitude that developed around No in the wake
29:15
of that attack. People were pissed at
29:17
him. This all came to a head in July,
29:19
during yet another set of dueling anti fascist
29:21
rallies in Portland. Andy No showed
29:23
up live streaming to the anti fascist side of
29:26
things, where he was promptly doubted with multiple
29:28
milkshakes. I was actually there for that
29:30
part. Not long after that, he wound
29:32
up surrounded by a group of masked anti fascists.
29:35
Several of these people assaulted him, punching
29:37
him a number of times. The video of the assault
29:39
is very clear and quite ugly. No
29:42
immediately filmed himself bruised and bloodied
29:44
in the wake of the attack. Now, the assault
29:46
went very viral and prompted calls from the
29:48
President and Republican lawmakers to de claar
29:50
Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
29:53
Even centrist journalists like Jake Tapper
29:55
picked up on the story, reporting it as another case
29:57
of antipha violence against journalists. Real
30:00
story, I hate
30:02
Jake Tapper. Yeah, he's he's he's he's a garbage
30:04
reporter. Now, the real story
30:06
is a lot more complicated than that. UM And you
30:09
know is not a journalist. He has a right wing
30:11
activist that does not justify as assault,
30:13
which was absolutely not okay. But he
30:15
was not a bystander just recording
30:18
the event. And you know was a participant
30:20
in a running series of street battles which have torn
30:22
Portland's apart for the last three years. He
30:25
got assaulted during one of these street battles, and again
30:27
that's not okay. But his assault is no different
30:30
from any of the hundreds of other assaults,
30:32
most of which were against left wing demonstrators,
30:34
that have taken place during the last three years. UM.
30:38
And this fact is made very clear in
30:40
a video that was released just a couple
30:42
of weeks ago, or just actually less than a week ago
30:44
when we record this, which we'll
30:46
talk about once we come back from an ad
30:48
break. We're
30:54
back, so as things
30:57
currently stand, and he know has been assaulted
30:59
uh in lie during a protest. The
31:01
video goes viral, he shows up all over the
31:03
media and within a matter of literally
31:06
like hours, raises close to a quarter of
31:08
a million dollars for his medical bills.
31:10
UM. So that's what people knew. In
31:12
July, now, roughly
31:15
a month later, a full video
31:18
from the May Day attack was
31:20
released. UH. And this video
31:22
showed was had been filmed
31:24
by someone who had been walking and marching with
31:26
Joey Gibson, Andy No and other right wing
31:29
activists on their way to cider riot that
31:31
May Day. Uh. The full video paints
31:33
a very different picture of what happened than
31:35
one I think No would have liked to have been known.
31:38
I'm gonna quote the Portland's Mercury's coverage
31:40
of the video quote. The most incendiary of
31:42
the clips show a small group of Patriot Prayer members
31:44
milling about a few blocks from the cider bar, waiting
31:46
for instructions from Gibson, who's texting
31:49
Joey? Someone asks, While the group seems to be without
31:51
a game plan, another man says, tell
31:53
Joey about and them to hurry the funk up. I hope
31:55
they got like ten big dudes with them. As the group
31:57
waits, they discussed their weaponry. A few men consider
31:59
which way the winds blowing to avoid getting spray in
32:01
their eyes. Another man holds a thick wooden
32:03
dowel and practices swinging it like a baseball
32:06
bat. Somewhere goggles helmets and tactical
32:08
gloves. One woman is holding a brick. Who's
32:10
the guy with the weapons? Here? A man holding a police
32:12
baton says, appearing to become agitated, that the
32:14
group has to wait for Gibson me. A
32:16
little while later, someone in the group tells a person
32:19
on speaker phone there's going to be a huge
32:21
fight and gives them directions to cider riot.
32:24
Now that all is pretty damning evidence
32:26
of conspiracy to riot, which is what six of
32:28
the people present there have been arrested for. And
32:30
Andy no was present and filming
32:33
for all of this, but not once in
32:35
the wake of the attacks did he share any of his
32:37
videos, any of his audio or report.
32:39
This clear evidence of people planning planning
32:41
to commit mass assault to the police or
32:43
to the media. You can even in the
32:45
video see him smile at one point as his
32:47
comrades discussed their plans to attack the cider
32:50
bar. This video makes it very clear that
32:52
and you Know is not a journalist. He is
32:54
a participant in this attack. Of
32:56
course, none of this evidence was out in July when no was
32:58
assaulted and he was able to is a huge amount
33:00
of money. He claimed in the immediate wake of the attack
33:03
that he had suffered a brain bleed. He has presented
33:05
zero evidence of this. He flew across the across
33:07
the country less than a week later and was checked out
33:10
of the hospital the next day. I feel it's
33:12
fair to question Knows honestly about the extent of
33:14
his injuries, since that's exactly what he did to the
33:16
young woman who had her spine broken outside
33:18
of cider riot. Now, the
33:20
good news seems to be that many journalists
33:22
on the center have at least finally started waking
33:25
up to Andy knows grift. During the August
33:27
seventeen protests, which I also attended,
33:29
No retweeted several edited chunks of other
33:31
people's videos to try and push claims that Antifa
33:33
has committed numerous assaults on decent, harmless
33:36
right wing activists. To give you a brief
33:38
summary of his lies, he claimed that a
33:40
bicyclist swerved to avoid an Antifa
33:42
person on a scooter, causing a serious accident.
33:45
Uh. There was in fact a scooter bicycle accident
33:48
during the time of the rally, but it had nothing to do
33:50
with the protest or Antifa and Portland Police
33:53
repeatedly pointed this out when
33:55
challenged on this fact any know posted. Portland
33:57
Police Bureau have released a press statement saying that too had
33:59
actually collided when the woman on the scooter was going
34:01
in the wrong direction. A source tells me
34:03
she was part of the Antifa group. She and friends
34:06
had been passing around the scooter and taking turns
34:08
trying it out. Yeah.
34:10
At another yeah, yeah, damning
34:12
Andy. Uh. At another point in
34:14
the day, an armored school bus filled
34:16
with members of American Guard, a fascist
34:18
extremist group linked to nine murders and
34:20
mosque burnings, attempted to cross into down
34:23
town Portland to do god knows what. They
34:25
were caught by anti fascists while stopped in traffic
34:28
the anti fascists chucked water bottles
34:30
and what appears to be sheet rock at the bus,
34:32
which again was armored and had screens
34:34
on most of the windows. Several of
34:37
them kicked at the door of the bus. The
34:39
fascists then opened the door of the bus and
34:41
one of them began swinging a hammer at people's
34:43
faces. One anti fascist managed
34:45
to take the hammer from him and swing it back.
34:47
Andy No tweeted edited video that just showed
34:50
the anti fascist with the hammer and claimed that this
34:52
had been an unprovoked attack by Antifa,
34:54
something actual video evidence clearly contradicts.
34:57
Again, this is the guy's fucking strategy.
35:00
At several points he posted video or pictures
35:02
of injured older men claiming they had been assaulted
35:05
by Antifa. In every case, full video
35:07
show that these men were taking place in street brawls
35:09
and in some cases instigating them. One
35:11
video is a picture of a clearly inebriated
35:14
man who taped his fists up specifically to
35:16
punch people, and repeatedly shouted the passer
35:18
by where faggots. He was eventually succeeded
35:20
in starting a fight. When he was beat up, Anti
35:22
fascist street medics provided first aid care
35:25
to him. This is all documented, But here's
35:27
how Andy no characterized things, posting
35:29
just a picture of the man on the ground. Middle
35:32
aged man was maased and beaten by an Antifa
35:34
mob. He was knocked unconscious to the ground. His
35:36
partner or spouse was trying to protect him as the mob
35:38
still surrounded them no police. When
35:41
the man regained consciousness, he began
35:43
like instigating fights immediately again like
35:45
he was with the Yeah,
35:49
yeah, cool, it's it's it's all pretty
35:52
yeah. So, in the wake
35:54
of the footage of the media attack and the sheer
35:56
shocking number of lies Noah was caught telling about
35:58
the August seventeenth rally, many Low Glen National
36:00
reporters have begun to dissociate themselves from
36:02
him. So it is possible that his grift has
36:05
peaked and we're all about to watch him take a downhill
36:07
slide. But if the lesson of James O'Keefe
36:09
teaches us anything, it's that repeated and flagrant
36:11
lies are no barrier to a lucrative career
36:13
in right wing journalism. And based
36:16
on that, I suspect that and you know
36:18
is going to have a long and very
36:20
profitable career. Has he been on Tucker
36:22
Carlson's show recently.
36:25
I don't think he's been since August seventeen, actually,
36:28
but I'm not a certain about that. Tucker
36:31
Carlson also took a
36:33
planned vacation recently, so
36:35
maybe. Yeah, Well, after claiming
36:38
that white supremacy was not a problem in the US
36:40
after a white supremacist terror attack. He always
36:42
seems to have these vacations planned for
36:44
right after he says some just blatantly
36:47
racist ship. It's weird. I mean, you
36:50
know, that's how I plan all of my vacations
36:52
too, So I'm not going to hit him too much on that. You
36:54
know. Uh, I don't know,
36:57
and you know, it makes me very angry. I think
36:59
he's a dangerous person, um,
37:01
and I don't like him. That's the That's
37:03
that's what I got. Yeah,
37:05
that seems to be Um.
37:08
You know, the actual Nazis
37:11
during you know, the early
37:13
twentieth century didn't make
37:15
a bunch of very uh
37:18
convincing documentaries, but they made
37:20
a bunch of you know, famous
37:23
works of propaganda. And because
37:26
you have to uh edit
37:28
the truth out of movies to get
37:32
for the reality
37:34
or presenting to cohere to your
37:36
version of things. And it seems like that
37:39
Yeah, these people are just propagandists
37:42
who managed to hijack
37:45
a very willing right wing
37:47
media and a bad
37:49
centrist media. You know, Andy know was
37:52
responsible, like during them the rally in July
37:55
for sharing this picture of what
37:57
what If you look at the picture, it's an older
37:59
man in his sixties um
38:01
with white hair and just blood pouring
38:03
down his face and the top of his shirt. UM,
38:06
which you know, obviously was claimed to have been an
38:08
old man assaulted by Antifa for
38:10
no good reason, and it made it into
38:13
like local reporting like cinterest
38:15
and sort of mainstream local news organizations.
38:17
Like one of the titles right above this picture was two
38:19
more Oregon men or left bloody after violent
38:21
Antifa attack at Portland's protest. There's
38:24
other pictures of the same guy before he's
38:26
bloody, with a telescoping baton
38:29
and a fedora, smiling and
38:31
rushing towards the crowd, and there's video of
38:33
him sparking attacks and swinging a stick
38:35
at people. The guy got hit in the head after
38:37
swinging a baton at people and instigating
38:39
attacks. Like, yeah, the violence
38:43
definitely occurred on both sides, but this
38:45
guy was an instigator and not an
38:47
innocent old man, he was a dude swinging
38:49
a fucking baton at people like
38:52
That's part of the problem is that, like what's been happening
38:55
in Portland is a complicated
38:57
and conflicting series of
38:59
street attles, and there's absolutely been bad
39:01
actors on both sides. But
39:04
the right wing media is trying to portray Antifa
39:06
is this like violent organization, whereas the
39:08
reality is most of them are
39:11
more apt to do things like show up in banana
39:13
costumes as a marching band or like
39:16
like help hold prayer vigils
39:18
and stuff, and there are a
39:20
smaller number of guys who
39:22
are there because they want to have a fight, whereas
39:24
on the right you have also a shipload of people
39:26
who show up because they want to have a fight, and
39:29
sometimes members of both groups get their wish.
39:31
But like the idea that this is terrorism
39:34
or anything but two groups who hate each other
39:36
fighting in the street um is pretty
39:38
ridiculous. And the number of assaults
39:40
that occur when the right wing demonstrators
39:43
aren't uh checked
39:45
by large scale groups of anti
39:47
fascists like those are the least
39:49
violent rallies when a shipload of anti
39:51
fascists show up uh and
39:53
just sort of drown them out, Like that's why on auguste
39:56
there was no serious violence. Um,
39:59
but so I mean in
40:01
comparison, how do the number of
40:05
people murdered by right
40:07
wing extremists compared to the number of people
40:09
murdered by Antifa. Well,
40:12
so far there's been zero people murdered by Antifa.
40:15
The closest thing you come to an attack carried
40:18
out by someone who marched with any of
40:20
those groups was, um, Willem Sprocken,
40:22
the guy who attacked those ICE buses.
40:25
Hey, everybody, I screwed up again. His
40:27
name was William van Spronson, not
40:29
Sprocken. Sorry, I'm dumb and
40:31
a hack and a fraud. And
40:34
he didn't kill anybody. He attempted
40:36
to destroy busses that were empty
40:39
to stop ICE from being able to deport people. He
40:42
was a guy who would yeah they they
40:44
shot. He did have a gun with him, you know. Uh,
40:47
yeah, that's
40:49
the closest you get to an Antifa attack with
40:51
a body count of zero, whereas
40:54
you know, uh, we're up to well
40:56
over a hundred right wing deaths in the last
40:58
year and change like death as there was ault of right wing
41:00
terrorists in the last year in Change and The police
41:02
have arrested twenty seven people since El Paso
41:05
for planning terrorist attacks,
41:07
the vast majority of whom had clear right wing and white
41:09
supremacist ties. Um.
41:12
Yeah, yeah, it's
41:14
weird. Yeah. I wonder how the
41:16
right would react if and
41:19
if killed a single person.
41:22
Well, and this is what's really worrying to me, is that
41:24
I suspect there absolutely will be
41:27
probably inspired by like environmental
41:30
activism, um, a deadly terrorist
41:32
attack in the near future. Um, you know,
41:34
maybe on oil and gas employees or something
41:36
like that. Um.
41:38
And when that happens, it's going to be
41:40
used as the justification for a vast
41:43
uh crackdown on left
41:45
wing activists, Whereas you
41:48
know, there's been essentially was
41:50
nothing done up until El Paso, you
41:52
know, after it took It took dozens
41:55
of right wing attacks for any
41:58
kind of crackdown to occur, and even then it's
42:00
been fairly mild. Um it's
42:02
frustrating, it is, I
42:05
would agree with that. Yeah. Hm.
42:09
So everybody look forward
42:11
to the eco terrorist attacks in our future.
42:14
Um, and uh,
42:16
keep an eye out for people like Andy No because
42:19
they're full of ship. Yeah.
42:21
All the pictures you when you just do a Google
42:23
image search of him. It's all him with like a
42:25
black guy appearing on various
42:28
news things and just looking very
42:31
uh, you know, beat down and
42:33
yeah victimy. It's just yeah,
42:36
he's uh. He talks about the victim
42:38
culture, the people claiming
42:41
to be victims, and that seems to
42:43
be his whole m Oh yeah,
42:47
that's he He really
42:49
like getting assaulted. Um
42:53
worked out very well for his career. I can say
42:55
that. Uh, you know, he made a quarter of a
42:57
million dollars in a matter of hours.
43:00
Uh, and you know, he's he's, he's
43:03
I don't know. I'd be interested to see his medical
43:05
reports. Um. Yeah.
43:08
I also suspect i'd be interested to
43:10
see if he gets charged as a result of any of the videos
43:12
that came out on cider Riot or
43:14
about sider Right. He doesn't doesn't say
43:16
really anything during those videos, but
43:18
he's present the entire time, and
43:21
UM, I don't know. It's it's very
43:23
like. I can say this as a guy who
43:26
frequently is on in filming
43:28
on the anti fascist side of things. If
43:30
I was embedded with a group
43:33
of these people and I heard them planning
43:35
to attack a bunch of people sitting
43:37
and chilling at a bar, and then one of the anti
43:39
fascists I was with, unprovoked,
43:42
broke a woman's spine. I
43:44
would report that ship because that would
43:46
be a serious crime and not Okay,
43:48
Uh, that's what you do as a journalist,
43:50
regardless of where your sympathies lie. And
43:53
I think Andy's performance during the
43:55
May Day attack is all
43:57
the evidence you need that he's not a journalist. Yeah.
44:01
I think that's pretty fair. Yeah,
44:05
hey, everybody, just one quick update.
44:07
Uh, Andy no no longer works at uh
44:10
Quilette. Um. Some people say he's
44:12
been fired. His name has certainly been removed from the
44:14
masthead. I think some of his articles have been purged.
44:17
Um. You know, his editor at his
44:19
former editor at Quilette says that he wasn't
44:21
laid off, that this was a plan departure. The timing
44:24
certainly seems a little bit
44:26
suspicious for that to have been the case.
44:28
But either way, he seems to be
44:30
currently unemployed, so we will see,
44:33
um whether or not his career recovers
44:35
from all this. Anyway,
44:37
