According to the FBI, the greatest terror threat we face is posed by lone actors radicalized online by left-wing and/or right-wing extremists. On the far-left you have groups such as Antifa, which is a decentralized network of militants that oppose what they believe are fascist. On the far-right you have a much broader bucket which lumps in white supremacists, anti-government extremists, and incels (yes incels are included as right wing for some reason). Today we discuss the threat level of these groups.Join our Patreon for access to extra content and our slack community.https://www.patreon.com/brohistorySources Usedhttps://www.csis.org/analysis/escalating-terrorism-problem-united-stateshttps://www.fbi.gov/news/testimony/worldwide-threats-to-the-homeland-091720Episode #166 Learn more about your ad choices.

The “October Surprise” is a phrase within the American political lexicon, referring to some last-minute unlikely event that has the potential to change the course of a presidential election. Today we review “October Surprise” cases that never earned a place in mainstream American history. In 1968, the Nixon campaign allegedly sabotaged Lyndon B. Johnson’s diplomatic efforts to pull out of Vietnam. During the 1980 election, the Reagan campaign allegedly colluded with Iran to delay the release of US hostages in Iran in order to thwart Jimmy Carter. Both cases are egregious and today we discuss their validity.https://www.patreon.com/brohistoryEpisode #164 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
