Mike Dunn and his group engage in civil disobedience by openly carrying weapons in places where it is illegal to stand against tyranny.

We go to our capitals on where they say, you know, in Richmond, Virginia, Owen Sawyer drove there. He saw some of my guys there on. They said, hey, you can't open carry here anymore. It's illegal now. We went. We disobeyed it. If they had tried to arrest us, we would have used the Second Amendment the way that it was intended, which is to limit... Say that again. Where did you do this? Because this is you putting your money where your mouth is. Where did you do this? Caravan. This is in Richmond, Virginia. It's illegal to open carry any protest or event armed. So we go there for Owen Schreuer's thing when he came through with the Stop the Steal. We've been at every protest, whether it be MAGA, Black Lives Matter, anything, to make sure that things are peaceful and respectful. And we go there armed. We disobey the law. We stand against the tyranny. And what we see, people like you, Alex, who used to be my hero as a young man, we see y 'all bending the knee to it repeatedly.

We stand against the tyranny. And what we see, people like you, Alex, who used to be my hero as a young man, we see y 'all bending the knee to it repeatedly. You have your talk shows, you give your speeches, but y 'all don't actually stand against tyranny, and that's disheartening as a young man, a young American, and someone involved in the liberty movement and constitutionalism. How am I not standing against tyranny, fighting evil legislation, marching, going out and having events? Sorry? Because you talk. We go out there, we actually disobey. We stand their arms. We don't bootlick like a lot of you and Republicans do. We actually stand up against the tyranny that is prevalent. That's what I want to see y 'all do. When you ask, well, what's the revolution look like? Well, there you go. It's us engaging in civil disobedience, and if they decide to do something, then we'll stand against that.

The Boogaloo movement is an autonomous movement without a single leader or founder.

First things first, I'm not the leader of the Boogaloo. I'm not the founder. It's an autonomous movement. I'm just someone who's in the movement who helped make it big and the media limelight and public face. And I happen to control a large portion of the movement. So I just wanted to get that straight. The movement was not founded by me and I'm not the leader of it.

Alex Jones uses revolutionary rhetoric primarily to sell merchandise rather than to advocate for actual political change.

But 1776 is the answer to 1984. I want to paint you a picture from 1776. January 18th, Major Havasin arrest a royal governor, James Wright. March 2nd, Americans begin shelling Boston. March 4th, we captured Dorchester Heights after a bloody So when you call for 1776... I almost feel like you're doing it just for the merch and not for the actual fact.

Political avenues for change have been blocked by politicians motivated by money, necessitating a revolution.

We understand that our laws, our avenues that we should go through have been clogged up by old men in politics. Politicians who are there for the money, they've been clogged up. They've blocked us from actually having access to our rights. They've infringed upon constitutional rights, whether it be the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, it doesn't matter. They've infringed on those rights. And we've realized that those avenues are no longer open to us. And so the only answer to that is to try to win the hearts and the minds of the people. And ultimately, there is going to be a revolution.

The Capitol riot was the right action for the wrong reasons because it made the government fear the people.

I definitely think it was the right thing for the wrong reasons. I think it was a good way to make government fear the people again. It was nice to see members of Congress on their knees. Fearing the people? I think it was the right thing for the wrong reasons.

The Boogaloo movement originated as an online joke or meme around 2012 and evolved into an ideology advocating for a second civil war.

since boogaloo is an ideology it's not necessarily a worry of being taken over because if somebody doesn't embody the ideology then they're not boogaloo boogaloo started as a as a meme a joke back like 2012 it was just an online joke Yeah, and it's a joke meme that turned into an ideology about the need for a second civil war.

Mike Dunn refuses to name specific targets for violence or release a manifesto because he considers it ignorant and does not want to be goaded.

It would be ignorant to sit here and release a manifesto or say, this is a target. Yeah, so let's not mention any real evil kingpins, right? I'm not going to allow you to goad me into saying something like that. Say that again? I'm not going to allow you to goad me into saying something like that. That would be ridiculous.
