IMPACT on Intimidation
from IMPACT · host Carrie Kaufman, Leisa Moseley, Pete Simi, Vegas Tenold, Andrea Cole, Liz Ortenberger
Vegas Tenold spent years as an investigative journalist, reporting on right-wing extremists. Today, he's an investigator for the Anti-Defamation League's Center for Extremism. He wrote the book Everything You Love Will Burn. Chapman University sociology professor Pete Simi spent six years embedded with right-wing extremists, which informed his blockbuster book, American Swastika. Both Simi and Tenold shared with Carrie Kaufman their insight into right-wing extremists, and their view of the violence that they feel will happen if President Trump wins reelection and if he doesn't. Carrie's co-hosts for the week - Leisa Mosely and Andrea Cole - talked about voter intimidation, and how voters may react to seeing people with semi-automatic weapons. And SafeNest CEO Liz Ortenberger talks about their new partnership with METRO to deal with domestic violence felonies. It is, says Ortenberger, the epitome of community policing.
