Patriot Prayer’s Joey Gibson

The organizer of a controversial rally planned for Saturday at Crissy Field in San Francisco suddenly announced today that he was canceling it, just as officials put extra security in place to head off potential violence. Hours before making that surprise announcement, Patriot Prayer’s Joey Gibson spoke to us about his philosophy and why he wants to come to the Bay Area.

Analysis of Planned Rallies

Guests:

  •         Steve McCutchen, former member of the Black Panther Party
