Aug 7, 201901:00:34Tap to summarizeIn July 2019, Leah Sottile and Ryan Haas sat down with OPB's Dave Miller for a live Q&A event in Portland, Oregon.

Jul 15, 201900:32:02Tap to summarizeWhen police killed Arizona rancher LaVoy Finicum in 2016 during the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge takeover, a grand jury deemed it a justified shooting.

So, what happens when people who have a deep-seated mistrust of the government finally have a justification to take action?

Jul 15, 201900:36:02Tap to summarizeThe 2016 bombing in Nevada is far from the only act of violence related to the self-described Patriot movement. In fact, it wasn't even the only bomb to blow up that year. Another explosion happened that summer near a Bureau of Land Management cabin in Arizona — and the man who pushed the detonator tells us what made him do it.
