The Majority Report with Sam Seder · 3676 - How Protest Became Terrorism; Supreme Court Run Amok w/ Sufia Khalid, Chris Geidner · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

One of the defendants was prevented from using the self-defense defense.

even though at trial it came out that this was a suppressive fire type situation.

A lot of problems with the sentencing that we've discussed with the jury selection, the expert that was used in the case.

They brought in somebody to talk about Antifa, who basically

talked about flag symbolism, wearing black anonymous clothes at a protest, using Signal, things that mainstream civil rights organizations recommend to everybody as just kind of digital security protests, surveillance-type security measures.

So there's a lot of antifa.

So that's the interesting point and the really worrying point about this statute.

None of them needed to be a member of Antifa for them to be charged with this statute.

The government did not need to prove that at trial.

They did not prove that at trial.

If you read through the jury instructions, all that they had to prove was that they provided material support

For one of three predicates, one of them included property destruction.

So some cameras, a stop sign, some tires, these were damaged at the protest.

Material support can be anything.

In the last 20 years, it's basically anything and everything, including your speech alone.

One judge has said it could be a bouquet of flowers.

Material speech is anything except for religious and medical supplies.

So if you provide your speech in support of somebody destroying federal property, no matter what the dollar amount is or what that property was, you can be charged under this material support of terrorism statute domestically.

There is no domestic terrorist group requirement under that statute.

It can touch anybody.
