00:00Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13. That's part of Homeland Security Secretary
00:05Kristi Noem's contribution to a roundtable discussion on left-wing violence held by
00:09President Trump on Wednesday. The epidemic of left-wing violence and Antifa-inspired terror
00:15has been escalating for nearly a decade. At universities, Antifa has organized riotous
00:21mobs to attack campus speakers. I see it all the time. And these are agitators, anarchists,
00:28and they're paid. Noem took part in the roundtable, having just returned from seeing
00:34unrest in Portland, Oregon firsthand, observing anti-ICE protesters, including one in a chicken
00:39costume. This network of Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TDA, as ISIS,
00:47as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them. They are just as dangerous. The president repeatedly promised
00:52to track down those who fund violent left-wing groups and even suggested, in concert with
00:56Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House aide Stephen Miller, that the administration might
01:01put Antifa on its list of foreign terrorist organizations. Such a designation would
01:06increase the ability of the government to freeze assets and would make it a crime to provide
01:10support to such groups.
