About this episode

Marco Rubio exposes Antifa as a coordinated, transnational terrorist threat in a recent State Department summit.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio convened a State Department summit titled "The Resurgence of Political Terrorism," delivering a forceful speech that names Antifa and allied far-left networks as a coordinated, transnational terrorist threat — with ties to groups like Iran's proxy networks and the Cuban regime. We break down the key moments, including Rubio's description of how these networks move money, training, and militants across borders, and his historical data on left-wing political violence in America dating back to the 1970s. We also contrast this with years of statements from officials like James Comey, Christopher Wray, and the Obama and Biden administrations downplaying or denying that Antifa operates as an organized threat, and we share a firsthand account of the 1954 armed attack on the U.S. House chamber by radical nationalist gunmen, whose bullet holes are still visible in the Capitol today.
