No, he really did say he wants to defund the police. Here's a quote: (nationalreview.com)
He said in the video that he had considered attending, near his home in Boise, Idaho, “a rally with the Black Lives Matter in support of defunding the police because yes the police need to be defunded.” He decided not to attend the rally, citing concerns about potential violence from fellow “Patriots” who have criticized his stance on the issue.
Anyone who doesn’t understand his support for the movement “must have a problem,” he said.
“You must have a problem in your mind if you think that somehow the Black Lives Matter is more dangerous than the police,” he said. “You must have a problem in your mind if you think that Antifa is the one going to take your freedom.”
Now, he's right that BLM and Antifa aren't a greater threat to freedom than militarized police are, but he doesn't make that distinction.
