Summary
A presidential order with potential massive impact was recently issued by President Donald Trump, on “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.” The order could affect not just gangs or groups like Antifa, which have now been designated as terrorists. This includes all the organizations involved in “acts of political violence and intimidation designed to suppress lawful political activity or obstruct the rule of law.” It also proposes the use of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act charges against the entire network and the potential labeling of any group or individual involved as terrorists.
We’ll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads.

| 1:01.3 | to go out to the finances, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security. |
| 1:07.0 | Massive, right? |
| 1:08.6 | It's called the National Security Presidential Memorandum NSPM-7. And remember that name. |
| 1:16.5 | Remember that name. Because that name is going to go down in history. This is Donald Trump's |
| 1:22.1 | equivalent to the Patriot Act. But it goes even further, actually. What this order does, it can potentially dismantle the |

| 1:38.9 | whether it's the boots on the ground like Antifa and every single person in between. This is the White House order from |
| 1:46.2 | September 25th. And first, let me show you what the justification Trump gives for it. After that, |
| 1:51.1 | I'll go into some of what it actually means, because again, this could be sweeping. And this could |
