KGO Nightline July 12, 2024

Good evening. Thanks for joining us. Tonight youre about to meet members of the Secretive Group known as the boogaloo boys, borne out of antigovernment conspiracy theories, but as groups show up armed, critics say theres cause for concern. Matt gutman has the story. Reporter those aloha shirts, theyre not for a luau. Igloo, masks and packing heat. The leader of this group goes by the name shifty. Its not his real name but a nickname he gave himself, but he is a selfproclaimed boogaloo boy. He is meeting with about a dozen others to adend this black lives matter march. Serving as an armed protection to keep protesters safe from violence by the police. His group is armed and ready with assault rifles. And in this minds they say theyre guarding against what they describe as government intrusion. Boogaloos dont often speak to the media, but he agreed to an interview with me via speakerphone just before the protest. Whats with the hawaiian shirts . We needed something to identify ourselves with. Reporter i know youre not trying to seem menacing, but an a. R. Style rifle is menacing. Everybody who does such in my group is trained and efficient with their weapons. Reporter but shifty and his fellow boogaloos are not part of black lives matter. Theyre part of a different and much more secretive theyre profreedom but civil war two, electric boogaloo. Did is referencing an old movie from 1984 called reporter you might ask what is involved in teens in break dancing duels have anything to do with armed men, hawaiian shirts and call for civil war . Not much, actually. First reference to the boogaloo future civil war started in the recesses of the internet a few years back and crossed over into more mainstream social media platforms and caught steam. Reporter the word is a afr. This group is deadly serious. They are an extremist group. Their rhetoric, their pedigree and everything is based on violence against peace officers and others that they disagree with. In general, there are two broad camps of the boogaloo. On the one hand, you have White Supremacists who view this through a racial lens and the more popular antigovernment extremist version. Reporter some members have been accused of using the protests to act on boogaloos violent promise of inciting discord. Several have been charged with crimes. In las vegas, federal Authorities Say three alleged members were found possessing molotov cocktails, they were arrested and charged with federal and state crimes, including a conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism. All three men have pled not guilty. And in oakland, Authorities Say air force Sergeant Steven cario who had posted about the Movement Online and Robert Justice jr. Drove this white van to the federal courthouse there and shot and killed federal officer, patrick underwood. They came to oakland to kill cops. Reporter a week later, a witness spotted that van 70 miles away near santa cruz, california. The witness observed ammunition, firearms and bombmake being equipment in the van. Reporter the van was followed back to carios home where they say he ambushed officers, fired on them and threw explosives. Another officer, day mondmon gu wyler was killed. Somebody please come help reporter finally, a Good Samaritan tackles him and police find what they say was a ghost gun, a homemade a. R. Style rifle hed allegedly used. And as he was led away, cario ye yells. [ bleep ]. Reporter Authorities Say cario scrawled in blood on one of the vehicles he stole, and in the van, a bulletproof vest tying him to the movement. He has been indicted and faces charges of murder and attempted murder, both have pled not guilty. He was a lone wolf. We do not condone violence or his actions. They were disgusting. He was not doing that in the defense of anybodys individual liberty. Reporter do you think its a problem for the boogaloo that people identify them with stevens alleged attack on police . Yes, it has been harmful to some things with us, yes. Reporter youve turned people away who have been advocating violence. Absolutely. Reporter but these boogaloos claim they are nonviolent and have become a selfinvolved fixture in protests across the country, never formally invited but making their presence known. One of the methods of recruit something joining these protests and putziting on a positive fac that they are joining the people. Reporter this is another member who wants to be called trashman as ma trashman. He works construction during the day and runs a group on facebook. I first became involved or aware of it through social media, through facebook. Reporter trashman isnt carrying a gun because he says hes a nonviolent boogaloo. What brought me to this ideology was the inclusion of others. Its not relegated to a certain class of people or color of people or religion. Reporter sounds pretty middle of the road, but despite their claims of nonviolence, Homeland Security and the department of justice have labeled them as a violent extremist group. The biggest misconception of the Boogaloo Movement is that were racist terrorists or extremists of any kind. Reporter facebook and discord recently categorized them as extremists. In july we shut down on facebook. My personal profile as well as from what i understand hundreds as well as thousands of others were permanently deactivated on facebook. It was a smack in the face for sure. All they did was fracture us into a thousand more hardertofind pieces. It didnt slow us down one bit. Reporter even with the burgeoning attention, they remain very cloak and dagger, but shifty feels they need to capitalize on the wave of unrest sweeping the country. Why is it important for you to do this interview, shifty . Too many times we do not get a sitdown and a relaxed environment to really express our views and really get the word out for what were standing for in face and let people know this isnt just with wian intere or a bunch of guys sitting in their mothers basements taken on key borsd. Th this is a real thing. Reporter they stand at the ready. The reality of the ethos is always present. How far are you willing to go, even at a ploet, lirotest, the protest . Theres always the phrase live to fight another day, but everybody in our group is prepared to give the ultimate sacrifice in defense of liberty. Our only recourse at this point is to be louder than everybody else, where we need to make our voices very clear and very loud to both unify us and distance ourselves from those that would cause harm to people or present us in a bad light. I think their ideology and everything tells you exactly what theyre here for. Are they here to stay . I, i think time is going to tell. These groups dont go away. They may morph, change their name, change their style, change their membership. But the ideologies usually dont change. Reporter for nightline, im matt gutman in los angeles. Our thanks to matt.

We got word today that new weekly jobless claims fell last week below 1 million for the First Time Since mid march, but its still far above the worst week of the great recession. So, for the millions out of work and worried about paying the rent, the expiration of enhanced Unemployment Benefits last week hitting especially hard. Get ready for and latricias daughter asks a lot of questions, but one is particularly hard to answer. Do you continue to ask me when are we going home, when are we going home. I had to break down and say, honey, this is our home for right now. Thats because right now, home is a motel room. Its a sad thing to have to explain to a 4yearold, that this room is our home. Latrish, her boyfriend and daughter khaliah are a result of the chaos of covid19. She lost her job as a Data Processor in the spring. Government aid like the stimulus and 600 a week in unemployment helped keep her family afloat. It just meant i was able to pay my bills. It wasnt a paychecktopaycheck kind of thing. But that federal money ran out at the end of july for more than 30 million americans. Now latricia just surviving on 300 per week. Her landlord didnt renew her lease. Without a job, she couldnt find a new house or apartment. Thats how she ended up here. Time to wake up. Come on. Every morning, she wakes up with khaliah around 6 15. 6 15. They hustle through the traditional morning rituals in tight quarters. Honey, we have to get going. And get out the door. Can you hold the baby up, please. Latrish still takes khaliah to day care. Dropping ms. Khaliah off to day care. Even though it costs 150 a week, half of her current unemployment. Day care is absolutely necessary for me, so i can take care of these important appointments and interviews. By midmorning, latrish is applying for jobs on her phone. I have an appointment later. Driving all around town, looking for work. Every day im putting one foot in front of the other. Looking for work. Unemployment during the pandemic has disproportionately affected people of color. More than 14 of black workers were unemployed in july. Nearly 13 for latinos and 12 for asianamericans. Compare that to the rate for white workers at 9 . For latrish, just watching whats happening in washington is frustrating. Please get it together and understand that while youre fighting, you know, there may be a family like mine that doesnt have a home to go to. Doesnt have a bed to lay in at night. The emergency unemployment assistance expired on july 31st. Lawmakers are still locked in a stalemate over a more permanent relief package. Some republicans too much, and some americans, including latrish, are bringing in more money now than they would have if they were working. I would love to go to work. I want to be at work. I made 15 an hour working at my job. And i made, you know, more on unemployment. Thats a, you know, thats not a secret to anybody for a lot of people. But its not a good feeling to be onion employment. Nobody wants to be unemployed. Last weekend, President Trump signed four executive actions, which includes extending some federal Unemployment Benefits. This is the Payment Relief during the covid19 pandemic. The president s executive order calls for an extra 400 in relief for unemployed americans, but the president is asking for cashstrapped states to put 100 of that bill. And governors say they simply dont have the money. So right now, it is unclear when or even if millions of americans will be seeing any of this relief. Like latrish, millions of americans are at the forefront of a its just a panic all the time. I constantly am in panic. Lanet hill used to run a Day Care Center in her home, but the business quickly unravelled during the pandemic. One email says they will no longer be using me, then the next one, the next one. She used her savings to pay rent, about 2200 a month. But by july, she was tapped out, showing our Clayton Sandell the eviction notice from her landlord. Im 70 years old and about to be on the street. What are you going to do . I dont know. Hale is one of millions of americans part of a growing wave of evictions that experts warn is about to come crashing down. The United States is facing the most severe housing crisis our country has ever seen. Approximately 30 million to 40 million children and adults are facing evictions right now. Evictions can have farreaching effects impacting beyond your address. It affects your credit, your ability to buy a home. Its linked to health ailments, including depression and traumatizing for children who are set back academically. For trish, time is ticking and the questions from daughter khaliah keep coming. One day she said mommy, is it going to take very long for you to get up on your feet . It was just, we made a joke of it and i explained hopefully not much longer. Thanks to a gofundme, shes getting a little help from strangers. When they leave their message that, you know, youre a good mom, and youre doing your best right now, but its going to get better, to know that im doing everything i can for my baby girl.

But being home hasnt been all bad. My two adult sons moved back in with us during the pandemic. Im basically living in a failed tv pilot, and i know about that kind of thing.
