George Pickard is an avowed white nationalist who hosted a white nationalist podcast called "White Phosphorus." That was until 2023 when we was sent to prison for 3 years on gun charges.

Pickard was so busy making his own silencers for his AR-15, that he forgot to register those silencers with the government. Pickard made a bunch of public threats against non-white people. Eventually the FBI looked into Pickard, searched his house and found a couple of federal felonies.

Here's what the Department of Justice has to say about Pickard.

George Pickard, 23, built homemade silencers, but did not register them with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. On December 29, 2020, during a lawfully obtained search warrant, agents found at least four firearms at his residence, including an AR-15-style rifle, and the silencers equipped to two of the firearms. He also loaded two firearms with large-capacity magazines. Pickard kept LSD in the same residence as his firearms. He did all this while maintaining ties to extremist organizations, including Identity Evropa, the American Identity Movement, the Right Stuff, and the Patriot Front. Pickard also cohosts a podcast called “White Phosphorus” that depicts women, African Americans, Jews, and other current events in a negative and derogatory manner. In February 2020, Pickard brought the AR-15-style rifle and suppressor to a militia camp and made online threats against several minority groups, including that he wanted to “use a belt fed machine gun” on one minority group.

If Pickard started serving his 3-year sentence, he should be out at the end of 2025 or early 2026.
