1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,200
Take a look. 
Behind the curtain with a real 

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,400
whistleblower, an American 
patriot prepared to embrace the 

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,680
uncomfortable truth. 
Because this program has no time

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,320
for comforting lies. 
Here is civil liberties 

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,240
enthusiasts, Second Amendment 
defender and recovering FBI 

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,200
agent Kyle Seraphim. 
Hello, my friends, and welcome 

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,440
to the Kyle Seraphin Show for 
Thursday. 

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,400
It is September the 7th and 
today we have something that is 

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,840
kind of unusual and exceptional 
for us. 

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,240
We talked to the recently 
convicted and sentenced January 

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,200
6th defendants. 
We have five of them. 

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,120
You're going to want to stick 
around and listen to this. 

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,120
This is kind of hard to hear, 
but I think it humanizes men who

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,280
are many, many of you have just 
seen as a headline. 

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,640
Most of you did not have the 
bandwidth to follow the trials. 

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,120
It's everything that's happened 
in their lives and it is the 

17
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,120
only thing they focused on for 
the last couple years. 

18
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:55,200
And for us, many of us are just 
touching on it peripherally. 

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,320
So if you'll give them 15 
minutes each, they are timed and

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,120
prison recorded phone calls. 
I think you're going to find 

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,040
them fascinating and I think 
that you will walk away with 

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,480
some value. 
You'll get a little sense of the

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,840
man behind the headlines there. 
Before we do that, we want to 

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,000
say thanks to our sponsor. 
Specifically, I want to thank 

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,760

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160
get every morning.

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,040
news stories. 
Highly encourage it. 

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240

and you will join the fight for 
faith, family and freedom. 

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760
And keep yourself well informed 
with stories like we bring you 

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,480
here and the things that we 
don't have the bandwidth to 

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,160
bring you. 
We're also going to say a quick 

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,240
thanks as well to our friends 
over at Patriot Coolers.

55
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,680
our friend Gerardo Boyle's

00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,920
which he's sending me some right

59
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,960
wearing on the show. 
I don't wear a lot of hats, but 

60
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,760
I wear these the dash 
suspendables, plural, 

61
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,720
suspendables.com, the dash 
suspendables.com and you can 

62
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240
find all kinds of good stuff. 
My favorite is the Zielinski 

63
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,800
special, which is coming in. 
It's an 2D green with a 

64
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,240
suspendables badge right here in
the middle of the chest. 

65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,200
You can use it when you go in 
front of Congress and you ask 

66
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,280
for billions of dollars to fund 
your pet project, like, I don't 

67
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,240
know, a war with Ukraine and 
Russia. 

68
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Check out the DASH 
suspendables.com. 

69
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
All right, without further ado, 
we're going to get into these 

70
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160
interviews. 
And I didn't really know what I 

71
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,400
was getting into. 
I knew this was going to be a 

72
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,120
little heavy. 
So you'll see this is a little 

73
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,080
bit of a, this is not a light 
hearted matter. 

74
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,840
I think you guys will really get
something out of it. 

75
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,480
So stay tuned for all five of 
them. 

76
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Hello, this is Kyle Serafin. 
This is Dominic, this. 

77
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Is Dominic. 
Now I can hear you buddy. 

78
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Yes, I certainly can there. 
There we go. 

79
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,800
All right, we they give us they 
give us tablets to use the gel 

80
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,160
and you call from inside your 
cell. 

81
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,800
Sometimes it doesn't come 
through that well. 

82
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,800
So I had to go use the hard 
line. 

83
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,080
So I'm glad you can. 
Hear me now. 

84
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Yeah, I appreciate you calling. 
Listen, I I want to run in 

85
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,280
through a couple of questions 
and and I'm I pulled up all you 

86
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560
guys BIOS and I think people 
will be familiar with your 

87
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,640
stories, but not specifically. 
I think that's the real issue. 

88
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,160
So I'd like to use this time to 
kind of humanize you. 

89
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
And, you know, I've talked to 
people in correctional 

90
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
facilities and they were usually
bank robbers and people who had 

91
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,640
done violent crimes against, you
know, other human beings in the,

92
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,040
in the world. 
And, and, and you guys are a 

93
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,400
totally different breed. 
In fact, even your, your 

94
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,880
Wikipedia page starts off saying
you're an American convicted 

95
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,400
felon, which doesn't sound like 
the way that I would describe 

96
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,520
you based on reading the rest of
it. 

97
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,160
So maybe tell people where you 
grew up, where you're from, kind

98
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,080
of a little bit about your 
story, if you would. 

99
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,520
Yeah, well, I grew up. 
I grew up in up in up in upstate

100
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,000
New York, in a town called 
Rochester. 

101
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,760
It's in between Syracuse and 
Buffalo. 

102
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,959
You know, I went to a Catholic 
school, you know, had both, both

103
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,520
grew up, both both a mom and 
dad, a brother and a sister, 

104
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,520
very good childhood. 
I joined the Marines out of high

105
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,800
school, served for six years. 
You know, got out of there, 

106
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,240
started my business, started a 
family and you know, was pretty 

107
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,160
much just a simple, hard 
working, law abiding citizen for

108
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320
the 1st 43 years of my life 
until everything seemed to go 

109
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,040
South on January 6th. 
Will you tell me? 

110
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,160
Yeah, tell, Tell me what you 
think about this country growing

111
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,360
up, the way that you saw it, 
what the values were in this 

112
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,720
country, maybe your vision of 
America until until maybe 

113
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,520
January 2020. 
What did it look like he was 

114
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,880
doing? 
Well, I, I just, I wrote a, a, a

115
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,760
letter that I sent into a 
gateway pundit and explained all

116
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,800
about where my, where my, my 
morals and, and just the way I 

117
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,120
think came from. 
It came from my grandfather who 

118
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,360
came to this country from Italy 
around 1960. 

119
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,280
He came here and he was about 30
years old. 

120
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,640
And, you know, he came here. 
He didn't know the language, but

121
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,240
he worked hard. 
And, you know, even, you know, 

122
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,800
he was even subjected to the 
some, some discrimination that 

123
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,480
the immigrants were, you know, 
put through back then. 

124
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,800
But, you know, he always said he
loved this country. 

125
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,200
He's the greatest country on the
planet. 

126
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,480
He, he came here to give, to 
give the best future he could to

127
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,440
his to to his kids and his 
grandkids. 

128
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,080
And he never, never once played 
America for anything. 

129
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,440
And he just worked hard, took 
never took a handout. 

130
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,440
And, you know, pass that along 
to me. 

131
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,720
His values of hard work and, you
know, love of country and, you 

132
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,000
know, honor and face and just, 
you know, just the, the, the 

133
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
type of values that came out of 
the greatest generation that you

134
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,040
just don't see any more. 
That's that's basically where 

135
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760
where my foundation was. 
You, you touched on something. 

136
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,120
My wife is actually a New Yorker
and, and she's Italian by by 

137
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,240
blood and, and we kind of laugh 
in our house about how Italians 

138
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880
were not considered white, quote
UN quote white until very 

139
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,240
recently in American history. 
Sounds like your grandfather 

140
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,360
kind of knew a little bit about 
that. 

141
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,560
There's a lot of smears that 
have been made about what the 

142
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,600
Proud Boys organization is and 
what people who are associated 

143
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,240
with it are. 
Can you talk about whether 

144
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,080
there's a racial tinge to any of
it that you saw? 

145
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,360
There's, there's not a, there's,
there's nothing, there's not a 

146
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,600
racial tinge to it at all. 
As a matter of fact, during our 

147
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,080
trial, we had, we had several 
African American Proud Boys, 

148
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:39,960
Latino Proud Boys and even Asian
probably we even had a, a rabbi 

149
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,160
who was a Proud Boy come and 
testify on our behalf. 

150
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,560
So it's just, it's just more 
mainstream media nonsense. 

151
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,920
It's just their way to demonize 
anyone who, you know, thinks 

152
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880
like we do with conservative 
values and who, who appreciate 

153
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,560
the West, you know, our, our 
whole, you know, our whole, you 

154
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,960
know, credo basically, if you, 
if, if you will, is the West is 

155
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,360
the best. 
That's basically what we say. 

156
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,040
And, and that's what we stand by
that Western culture is the 

157
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,560
best. 
It's the most, it's the, it's 

158
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,360
the culture that has set the 
most people free. 

159
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,520
It's, it's made the standard of 
living better for everyone. 

160
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,400
It's it's, you know, everything 
that we enjoy today in the 

161
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,920
modern technology has all been 
based off, you know, Western 

162
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200
values and, and, and that's what
we promote. 

163
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,000
So, you know, the whole idea 
that probably are racist and 

164
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,200
this and that and the other 
thing that's just completely 

165
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,680
made-up by the left, it's just 
the same tactic they use when 

166
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,360
they smear anyone who's on our 
side. 

167
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,840
That's all they have, just 
racism. 

168
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,240
I, I listen to briefings about 
the Proud Boys and, and other 

169
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480
groups that were on the 
political right and also some 

170
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,920
that were in the middle I think 
in 2017. 

171
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520
And I was shocked to how little 
the FBI knew about what it was 

172
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,120
they were talking about the way 
that the quote UN quote, 

173
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,600
counterterrorism squads were 
briefing. 

174
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Will you talk about your 
interactions a little bit with 

175
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,840
the FBI, what that looked like, 
maybe the way you thought about 

176
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,120
him growing up, and then what 
your experience was when you had

177
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,720
to deal with him after 2021? 
Well, it, it, it, you know, the,

178
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,280
the, the way the Proud Boys 
think, it never used to be 

179
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,920
considered right wing. 
It used to be. 

180
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,160
That's how an American thought, 
you know, you love this country,

181
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,480
you supported it and, and, you 
know, if you didn't like it, you

182
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,320
know, there's plenty of other 
communist countries you can go 

183
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,240
live in. 
But, you know, I have no idea 

184
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,560
how the FBI came by this. 
You know, when I was younger, I 

185
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,440
used to go to, it was like a 
almost like an FBI 

186
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,000
apprenticeship thing that we 
used to do after school at night

187
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,440
because I was actually 
interested in joining the DEA. 

188
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040
So, you know, I actually had an 
interest in, in joining federal 

189
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
law enforcement. 
But I mean, from, from what I 

190
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,039
remember back then to what our 
federal law enforcement has 

191
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:37,159
become now as it's totally, it's
totally night and day 

192
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:38,720
difference. 
I mean, right now it's just a 

193
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,240
politicized arm of the Democrat 
Party. 

194
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,880
And there's and all they're 
doing is helping push the 

195
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,320
narrative that that that side 
has set up and they're not 

196
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,760
really doing anything else 
besides that at this point. 

197
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,240
Did you see some of the civil 
unrest that happened in 2020 

198
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,600
around the country? 
I did, I, I did. 

199
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,280
And that's, that's a big reason 
why I ended up joining up with 

200
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,440
the group was I just, I've seen,
I've seen so many innocent 

201
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,600
people being brutalized, you 
know, just just out, you know, 

202
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
practicing their First Amendment
right to, to protest and, and to

203
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,360
free speech. 
I saw Trump supporters just 

204
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,280
being attacked by groups of 
Antifa and I saw nothing being 

205
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,800
done about it. 
I saw cops standing by. 

206
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800
I saw them getting away with it,
you know, had they had a 

207
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,360
revolving door at the jail where
they would be arrested and let 

208
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800
right back on the street again 
to to go out and commit more 

209
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,880
crimes against innocent people. 
And I felt like someone need to 

210
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,640
stand up. 
You know, I was early 40s. 

211
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,480
I felt like, you know, I was 
still decent enough shape and 

212
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,160
you know that, you know, I 
should I should go out there and

213
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,760
do what I could to help protect 
people. 

214
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,720
And you know, that's, that's 
what a lot of the people who 

215
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,280
joined post November election 
felt the same way. 

216
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,920
You know, they were just like, 
no one's out here standing up 

217
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,840
for our side. 
So we need someone to go out 

218
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,120
there and stand up, you know, 
with the rest of us, with with 

219
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800
the Trump supporters, with the 
people on the right. 

220
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,880
We're the people who loved 
America against these evil, 

221
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960
these evil people that are, 
they're on the left right now. 

222
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,440
It does feel like the people on 
the left don't care about this 

223
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,680
country and yet they're somehow 
fighting for quote, UN quote 

224
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:14,480
democracy and a bunch of this 
other kind of things. 

225
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,200
Maybe give us an insight. 
You said a lot of people joined 

226
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,520
up after the November election 
in 2020. 

227
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,000
What was the energy like? 
What were the discussions like? 

228
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
And what was the idea behind 
being in being in DC in January?

229
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Well, here's here's, here's a 
crazy thing, Kyle, I, I was only

230
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720
with the club less than 30 days 
before this happened. 

231
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,600
So, you know, my first, my first
major, you know, I went to one 

232
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,040
of the rally that was in DC in 
December. 

233
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,280
But I mean, my first major 
national thing like this ended 

234
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,480
up being January 6th, where we 
end up getting rounded up and, 

235
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,680
and arrested and put it in here 
and now, you know, pretty much 

236
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:54,080
looking at the rest of our lives
in prison. 

237
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,000
So, you know, but it was, it was
the same feeling, you know, and 

238
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,560
I think, I truly think that 
there's a battle between good 

239
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:03,720
and evil in this country right 
now. 

240
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,960
I really do. 
And the prosecutor used, used 

241
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,760
that line because they had I, I 
wrote it in a journal and they 

242
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,640
found it and they used it 
against me over and over again. 

243
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,760
But I think this is a battle 
between good and evil. 

244
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,040
But how can you think it's not? 
I mean, you have the left. 

245
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,360
They want to brutalize the kids 
with, you know, transitioning 

246
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,240
and, you know, you know, turning
them into trainees or whatever, 

247
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,960
whatever the term is Now you're 
using. 

248
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,120
They want to destroy God. 
They want to they want to 

249
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,400
destroy the families. 
So I really believe this is a 

250
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,600
battle between good and evil. 
And I think people really are. 

251
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,600
We're starting to understand 
that on the 6th. 

252
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,040
That's why so many people 
rallied and came to DC. 

253
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,800
And I think people see it even 
more now. 

254
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,880
The problem is, I think people 
are afraid to actually try to 

255
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,760
speak out about it now because 
of what they've been doing on 

256
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,680
our side. 
I think the battle between good 

257
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,600
and evil mentality will resonate
very much with my audience. 

258
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,360
I have the same feeling. 
We have the same discussions at 

259
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,280
my house. 
How is it going? 

260
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,280
How is the battle going from 
your perspective? 

261
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,040
You know, from where we are, it 
looks like we're losing. 

262
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,280
You know, they just gave me 10 
years for, you know, OK, I broke

263
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,520
a window that day. 
It might not have been the 

264
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,800
smartest thing ever day, but I 
got 10 years for it, OK. 

265
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120
And, and the judge said there 
was an active terrorism. 

266
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,720
They basically gave all five of 
us a terrorism enhancement for 

267
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,080
minor property damage, a few 
$100 worth of damage. 

268
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160
When you see what the left did 
with their 2 1/2 billion dollars

269
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,120
worth of damage destroying 
everything. 

270
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,000
So yeah, it seems like a losing.
But I, I think in the long run, 

271
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,160
you, you have to step back and 
look at the bigger picture. 

272
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,120
I think you know what Trump did 
when he came into office? 

273
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,520
Was he, he, he put a crack in 
that wall of darkness and the 

274
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,720
light was slowly starting to 
pour through. 

275
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,160
And that crack is getting bigger
and bigger and bigger. 

276
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,760
And I, I think there's way too 
many people that are awake now. 

277
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,880
I think there's a momentum and I
think there's a shift in this 

278
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,240
country right now unlike 
anything that has ever been seen

279
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,880
in in human history. 
I, I really believe that we 

280
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,480
might not be as vocal about it 
now, but I don't think we can go

281
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,440
through four years of seeing 
what we've seen and not just 

282
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,040
have people completely starting 
to understand what we're really 

283
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,600
up against right now. 
It's, it's a battle for our, for

284
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,880
our freedom. 
It's a battle for it's a battle 

285
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:18,160
to, you know, not be enslaved. 
I, I, I just, I really do, I, I 

286
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,160
think, I mean, even even by the 
fact that we've, we've got some 

287
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,320
black lives member or black 
lives matters. 

288
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,560
The leader was, has been in our 
sentencing, protesting with our 

289
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,280
families for US against the 
injustice that's been going on, 

290
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,640
you know, with us receiving all 
these high numbers. 

291
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,520
So they, you know, they've been 
there or, you know, with the 

292
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,400
sentencing for the Proud Boys 
over last week. 

293
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,880
So I just, I just really think 
there's been a shift. 

294
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,080
I don't think it's, it's going 
to be, they're going to be able 

295
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,040
to stop it. 
I, I, I do believe Trump was 

296
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,960
coming back one way or another. 
I mean, the only thing, the only

297
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,640
way they're going to be able to 
stop them is by putting them in 

298
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,440
prison or, or killing them. 
And I think if that happens, I 

299
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,720
think this country's going to 
explode. 

300
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,400
So I, I don't think the other 
side is, is going to be in power

301
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,320
for too much longer, but I think
they're going to do as much 

302
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240
damage as they possibly can 
before they go out. 

303
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,520
They're going to. 
They're not going to go down. 

304
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Quietly just put it put it to 
you that way. 

305
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,320
I, I heard you say that the 
sentence is 10 years. 

306
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,800
I know the DOJ came in and asked
for 20 and they got half what 

307
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,920
they asked for, which is also 
still incredible. 

308
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,440
I've seen people who produced 
child pornography and 

309
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
distributed around the Internet 
get 12 years or less. 

310
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,000
So that's the kind of sentencing
that they gave you for breaking 

311
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,680
a window on a couple hours of 
your life. 

312
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,000
That doesn't stand for the rest 
of it. 

313
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,480
What, what are your spirits like
having got that information? 

314
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,880
You, you sound far more hopeful 
than that I would maybe expect, 

315
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,480
but you had some time to process
it. 

316
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,920
So it's kind of talk us through 
what that felt like. 

317
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,400
I, I just, I don't honestly, I 
don't feel like it's real. 

318
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,640
I don't feel like any of this is
real. 

319
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,600
It's just not going to happen. 
You know, we, we talked, we had 

320
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,480
somebody talk to Trump last 
night at, at one of his rallies 

321
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,040
or fundraiser he was doing and 
they went up to President Trump 

322
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,960
and said, Hey, you know, we're 
outside a freedom quarter every 

323
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,120
night. 
He's like, you have a message 

324
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,360
for the guys that are inside the
gulag. 

325
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,440
He's like he, he said something 
like tell our heroes that he 

326
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,920
give him this message to say 
that they're going, you get, 

327
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,240
tell them they're going to be 
all right. 

328
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,360
They should have never been, 
they should, this should have 

329
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,320
never happened to them in the 
first place, but let them know 

330
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
they're going to be all right. 
I, I, I truly believe that this 

331
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,760
is, it's not going to stand. 
I, I just don't think, I don't 

332
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,080
think the country is going to 
allow this to stand. 

333
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,120
You don't take someone who broke
a window or someone who put 

334
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,040
their hand on a fence or someone
like Enrique who wasn't even 

335
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,240
there and give him 22 years. 
I mean, that's the rest of his 

336
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,480
life there. 
You know, people understand a 

337
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,760
sense of, of fairness and 
justice in this country. 

338
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240
And right now we don't have it. 
Everyone sees the two tier 

339
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,600
justice system. 
It's, it's blatantly obvious 

340
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,720
every day. 
I mean, we have a man in the 

341
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,400
White House who's a total 
corrupt tyrant and, and they're 

342
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,840
getting away with everything. 
Well, while we have people on 

343
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,200
our side who are going to jail 
for, you know, protesting and 

344
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,840
abortion clinics. 
So I I just don't think that 

345
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200
this reign of terror is 
sustainable in this country. 

346
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,120
I, I think you're probably 
correct and I, and I don't know 

347
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,760
where it goes, but it's got to 
go somewhere. 

348
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,160
Obviously, this energy has to go
somewhere on both sides. 

349
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,760
How can people reach out and 
support you guys? 

350
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480
There's a lot of people that 
kind of know the stories by by 

351
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,520
just touching it peripherally. 
What can they do to support you 

352
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,720
that'll keep your spirits up? 
It'll help you guys get through 

353
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,040
as you move towards maybe a 
Trump election and hopefully a 

354
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,040
pardoning or something like 
that. 

355
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,320
Well, people write to us, which 
is, which is always great. 

356
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,040
You know, the letters are a 
great source of inspiration. 

357
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,360
You know, I, I hate to say it, 
but you know, we now we have 

358
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,600
appeals coming up, which are 
very expensive. 

359
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,320
You know, we all have individual
gifts and goes that, you know, 

360
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,960
people could donate to, to help 
us with our appeals, to help our

361
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,000
family with finances. 
Because, you know, they're not 

362
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,320
only trying to destroy us, 
they're trying to destroy our 

363
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,280
families too. 
If you'd like to, you know, if 

364
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,840
you'd like to donate to me 
personally, my, my, my gifts and

365
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,000
go is so giftsandgo.com back 
slash pizzola. 

366
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,960
That's my personal one. 
If you'd like to help out with 

367
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,800
any, any donations for, you 
know, appeals or, or helping our

368
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960
families take it through it. 
I got, you know, two kids in 

369
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,000
college, but you know, everyone 
just needs to stay strong and 

370
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,960
just don't let them. 
Don't let them destroy us. 

371
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520
You know, the other day when I 
left, when I walked out of the 

372
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,280
courtroom, you know, after I was
sentence, I turned. 

373
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,880
Around you have one minute 
remaining. 

374
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,240
I turned around, looked at the 
prosecutors and told them Trump 

375
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,599
won and everyone knows it. 
And, and I believe it and I know

376
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,359
that they, they know it. 
Everyone knows it. 

377
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,760
So just don't let them destroy 
our spirit. 

378
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,839
That's the biggest thing right 
now. 

379
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,560
Everyone's just got to keep 
their spirits high and realize 

380
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,920
that goodwill win that they, 
it's, they have it has to, it's 

381
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560
a we're on, we're on A1 
trajectory right now. 

382
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,520
Either we turn this ship around 
and things are going to be good 

383
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,640
for everyone. 
We're crashing and burning and 

384
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,360
the world's the world's going to
be destroyed. 

385
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,240
So that's where we are right 
now. 

386
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,560
I think that I think that's a 
very sage thought and I 

387
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,000
appreciate the other defiance 
there. 

388
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,560
I think that's the the right 
spirit. 

389
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,720
And I know we're all going to be
praying for you both in my 

390
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,840
audience, but also this country.
It's, it's got to pray for 

391
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,080
something to, to, to level out. 
And so I and I appreciate you 

392
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,760
spending the time with us today.
No problem, Kyle. 

393
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,120
I I don't want to hang up on us 
because she this phone will hang

394
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,760
up on us, you know, pretty 
rudely if we don't, if we don't 

395
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,040
say goodbye. 
So let me say goodbye to you 

396
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,640
now. 
And, you know, thanks for 

397
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,960
everything you're doing too. 
I appreciate it. 

398
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,720
OK. 
You bet. 

399
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,080
Thanks, Tom. 
Thanks for spending time with us

400
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,760
bud all. 
Right, Kyle, take care. 

401
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Bye. 
All right, see you OK. 

402
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:19,160
This is Kyle. 
Hello this is a prepaid debit 

403
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,360
call from Thank you for using 
global Tel link. 

404
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,400
Hey, how's it going? 
This is Zach Real calling in. 

405
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,400
Can you hear me all right? 
Yeah, Zach, I can hear you. 

406
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,240
This is Kyle Serafin. 
Thanks for talking to us buddy. 

407
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,040
Hey, no problem. 
Thanks for thanks for having me 

408
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:34,680
on. 
Appreciate it. 

409
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,120
I'm I'm more than happy to. 
What I want to do is I want to 

410
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:38,520
give a little bit of a human 
touch. 

411
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,720
Everybody can look your guys 
names up and find out. 

412
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,000
And you got stories written 
about you by an unfriendly 

413
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,560
media. 
I wanted you to be able to tell 

414
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,080
people who you are, where you 
grew up, the America that you 

415
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,160
grew up in and you know, all 
before all this stuff. 

416
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,560
And we'll get into to your 
situation in just a moment too. 

417
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,200
But maybe tell people where you 
grew up, how you grew up, the 

418
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,760
families you you came from. 
Yeah, sure. 

419
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,040
I, I grew up in Philadelphia, 
PA, pretty, pretty modest 

420
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600
living, actually. 
Kind of on the poor side really.

421
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,440
My father was a police officer, 
My mom was a, was a bartender. 

422
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,400
My dad died at a young age when 
I was my 12 years old. 

423
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,880
You passed away. 
So it was basically just my mom 

424
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,040
raising me and me and my brother
and you know, it, it was tough. 

425
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,480
I had my first kid when I was 
19, and I ultimately ended up 

426
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,720
joining the Marine Corps. 
And when I was 23 years old, I 

427
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,840
was honorably separated 
approximately 4 years later. 

428
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,520
And I went to Temple University 
after that where I received 2°, 

429
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,120
a bachelor's in marketing and a 
master's in entrepreneurship. 

430
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,080
I then I worked at Merrill Lynch
for a little while in New York 

431
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,960
life where I acquired various, 
you know, financial licenses, 

432
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,720
series 766, insurance licenses, 
things of that nature. 

433
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,120
And I was actually in the 
process of opening up my own 

434
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:07,760
financial company, finance 
company advising company right 

435
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,640
before my. 
Arrest. 

436
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:11,880
I hope I was. 
Part of the proud police. 

437
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,800
I was the president of 
Philadelphia Chapter. 

438
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320
We, we, we're very diverse 
groups. 

439
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,720
We have, we have men of all 
backgrounds. 

440
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,160
And you know, we, we 
participated in some protests, 

441
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,880
quite a few in 2020. 
You know, like, like many people

442
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,560
did, you know, there's a COVID 
lockdowns and everything. 

443
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,160
And you know, they all pretty 
much culminated with January 

444
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,440
6th. 
And you know, you know, this is 

445
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,360
a very, very peaceful guy. 
I never got in trouble. 

446
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,280
With the law before. 
I, you know, the most I mean, I 

447
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,480
did. 
I had a see you I when I was 

448
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,080
young, but I mean, that's, 
that's the extent of it. 

449
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,880
Like I'm not a violent guy. 
I never got in trouble in any, 

450
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,920
any protests I've ever been to 
before. 

451
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,120
You know, the accusations 
against me are absolutely 

452
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:59,200
appalling. 
And they don't, you know, they 

453
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,000
don't, they don't justify my 
character whatsoever. 

454
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,560
And, you know, and, and we 
proved that in court, but 

455
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,520
unfortunately, you know, you 
can't get a fair, fair trial in 

456
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,480
DC, not, not with the 
politically motivated jury that,

457
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,040
that, you know, we had. 
But that's, that's basically me 

458
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,200
in a nutshell. 
You know, like I said, come from

459
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,400
modest backgrounds. 
And, you know, I'm a hardworking

460
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240
American, you know, military 
vet, love my country. 

461
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,760
And that's that's, that's pretty
much it. 

462
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,120
Yeah, you can't see, but I'm 
nodding along with you right now

463
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:34,840
as you're as you're, you're 
giving your background and I 

464
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,280
appreciate all that. 
Can you talk about the 

465
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,040
organization? 
And you probably have the the 

466
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,160
upside of talking to someone who
listened to Gavin McGinnis for a

467
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,400
long time and have heard him 
talk about the founding of the 

468
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,680
Proud Boys and why they came up 
with it and the Aladdin song and

469
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,160
all the deal. 
I know, I know all the, you 

470
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,080
know, the stuff about the 
background that people in the 

471
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,120
FBI obviously did not. 
But maybe talk about joining 

472
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,440
that organization and what led 
you to it and what you liked 

473
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,240
about it. 
Yeah, so I was, I was doing, I 

474
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,200
was doing events Prior to 
joining the, for joining the 

475
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,120
Proud Boys for my own, for 
business purposes and whatnot. 

476
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:07,680
And I ended up doing it. 
I was doing a couple of radio 

477
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,960
shows to promote one of my 
events and one of the one of the

478
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600
radio show hosts, you know, 
recommend I look into the Proud 

479
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,240
Boys. 
I actually didn't even know who 

480
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,080
they were at the time. 
It's about 2018, I want to say. 

481
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,320
And I looked to know them and of
course, you know, I googled the 

482
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,880
name and seen all kinds of, you 
know, terrible things said about

483
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,040
them, But I have an open mind. 
You know, I, I, I know the media

484
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,240
is deceitful and I know it's no 
bias. 

485
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,040
So, so I, I, I dug a little 
harder and I, I found their 

486
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,280
website and I seen that, you 
know, they're all about free 

487
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,280
speech and, you know, 
entrepreneurship and, you know, 

488
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,440
just just typical American 
things, you know, like, you 

489
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,360
know, gun rights, you know, all,
you know, things like that. 

490
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,880
So, you know, piqued my interest
a little bit. 

491
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,360
You know, I was, I'm a 
businessman. 

492
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,680
I, I, I, I've owned multiple 
businesses in the past and I, I 

493
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,080
figured, hey, you know, let me 
reach out, let me see what's up.

494
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:02,920
So I reach out and, you know, 
I'm, I'm, I'm expecting, I'm 

495
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,960
expecting the worst. 
You know, I get to this meeting 

496
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,200
though, and, and it's just a 
bunch of guys hanging around 

497
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,520
drinking punk and politics, and 
most of them are military vets. 

498
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,800
So immediately I fit in. 
I fit in well with them because,

499
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,520
you know, it's the one thing 
that, you know, military vets, 

500
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,400
it's easy for us to just hit it 
off. 

501
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,120
You know, I mean, we have 
similar backgrounds and whatnot.

502
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,600
It would be like 2 retired FBI 
agents meeting each other. 

503
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,200
You know, you guys just hit it 
off right away. 

504
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,800
They're a bunch of nerds, man. 
I'd rather hang out with vets. 

505
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,960
I'd rather hang out with that 
crew. 

506
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,400
That's that's my crew for sure. 
But yeah, so and, and, and I 

507
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,120
ended up, I ended up liking it, 
you know, I had fun with these 

508
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:41,480
guys. 
And, you know, like I said, 

509
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,240
they, they weren't with the 
media made them out to be. 

510
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,400
So, so I, I, I stuck around and,
and, and, and I had a blast. 

511
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,240
You know, I, I, you know, flew 
around the country in 2020 and 

512
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,520
I've met a lot of these guys 
all, all in these other 

513
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,440
chapters. 
And it was the same thing, you 

514
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,480
know, every, every city I 
stopped at is these guys 

515
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,880
welcomed me with open arms and 
showed me their city and, you 

516
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,080
know, partied with me and 
everything. 

517
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,520
And you know, it, it's, it's 
it's appalling the things that 

518
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,760
are said about the Proud Boys. 
And you know why there's not 

519
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,840
more lawsuits, you know, 
springing up, you know, about 

520
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,120
libel and slander and 
everything. 

521
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,400
But, you know, that's the topic 
for another day, I suppose. 

522
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,680
But. 
Probably, yeah. 

523
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,200
Fair enough. 
I mean, I remember listening to 

524
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Gavin McGinnis talk about it and
saying he wanted something like 

525
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,320
the Knights of Columbus, like 
the Elks Lodge, like people used

526
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,360
to join, like men used to go and
just be around men and do men 

527
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:34,240
things. 
Yeah. 

528
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,160
Yeah, exactly. 
You know, and it's a, it's a 

529
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,320
fraternity at the end of the 
day, you know, and, you know, 

530
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,400
in, in fraternity, in college 
fraternities, you know, like, 

531
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,400
you know, the whole point is to 
socialize, to network, you know,

532
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:53,600
expand on ideas, politics, you 
know, all that. 

533
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600
And, and it's, it's, it's no 
different with the Proud Boys, 

534
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,560
you know, So like the, the, when
I hear this, this extremist 

535
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,160
group talk and all this other 
stuff, I'm like, there's nothing

536
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,920
extreme about this group 
whatsoever. 

537
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,560
Nothing, you know, and, and, and
it, and it, and it, it hurts 

538
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,960
hearing it because like, I'm 
part of this group and I, I, I, 

539
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,280
I defend it, you know, and 
there's nothing, I, I feel 

540
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,360
powerless, especially being in 
jail now. 

541
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:20,320
That's it. 
Put up with this, you know, and 

542
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,360
there's nothing I can do about 
it, but you know, I appreciate 

543
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,280
you giving me the platform and 
being able to explain it a 

544
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,040
little bit so that that does 
help. 

545
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,880
No, it's my, it's my pleasure. 
And and I think that it's, it's 

546
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,560
sorely missed that people don't 
go looking for that information.

547
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,640
It's not that hard to find. 
It turns out even the FBI 

548
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,000
couldn't find it, even though I 
gave it to him. 

549
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,920
I'm interested in in your view 
of America as you were growing 

550
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,040
up, all the licenses you did 
serving our country, going out 

551
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,240
and starting businesses. 
Those are those are very hopeful

552
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,160
activities. 
Can you talk about what you saw 

553
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,440
America as and how that changed 
maybe up until maybe the end of 

554
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,440
2020, and what that kind of felt
like? 

555
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,240
Well, I mean, America, America 
is still, it's still what it is.

556
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,120
You know, it's a landed 
opportunity. 

557
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,440
I was, I was told at a young age
that, you know, you can do 

558
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,560
anything you want in this 
country. 

559
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,960
You just have to put your time 
and effort into it. 

560
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,560
And that's, that's what I did. 
You know, I, it was really hard 

561
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,200
for me to get into the finance 
industry. 

562
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,320
For one, I grew up poor. 
You know, it's a, it's an 

563
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,960
industry where, but usually 
people with the background and 

564
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,520
money or, you know, it's, it's 
their industry, you know, so 

565
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,280
it's, it's hard to get your foot
in the door some somebody like 

566
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,000
me. 
So when I got my foot in the 

567
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,120
door, it was, it was a big deal,
you know, and it was a huge 

568
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,520
accomplishment for me to be able
to be able to do that. 

569
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,480
But I put the time and effort 
into that. 

570
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,360
You know, it took a lot of time 
getting to know people and 

571
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:42,120
talking to people and networking
and getting the education 

572
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:47,120
required, you know, and it's not
surprising that I did, you know,

573
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,000
So when I wanted, you know, I 
wanted to take it to the next 

574
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,440
step and open up my own company,
you know, it's, it's just, it's 

575
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
a shining example of what you 
can do in this country. 

576
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:59,520
And, you know, display despite 
all the divisions and all the 

577
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,960
political nonsense going on in 
this country, you know, you 

578
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,200
still, it's still the greatest 
country in the world. 

579
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,920
You can still do these things, 
you know, and display when I'm 

580
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,600
what, what, what my charges are,
you know, and all this I, I'm, 

581
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,680
I'm going to, I'm going to take 
this to the Supreme Court if I 

582
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,320
have to, and overturn this. 
But when I get out of jail, I'm 

583
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,480
still going to have an 
opportunity as long as I put the

584
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,840
effort into it. 
And I'm going to continue to put

585
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,680
the effort into it because I. 
Know hard work. 

586
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,280
Pays off in the country. 
No matter how. 

587
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,360
Tough things may be. 
I think the truth today. 

588
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,560
I think people can really 
appreciate that message. 

589
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,600
You're looking down the barrel. 
What was the end? 

590
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,400
What was the sense they asked 
for and what did they end up 

591
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,360
getting with you with the 
seditious conspiracy and all the

592
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,240
others? 
Well, it's it's, it's 

593
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,440
interesting to say that. 
So in the federal system 

594
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,400
typically they, they do this 
thing called a PSR pre 

595
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,400
sentencing report. 
Now they, it's, it's basically 

596
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,600
you meet with probation officers
and they, they look at your 

597
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,720
background and this and that and
they recommend, they recommended

598
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,320
10 years based on the charges 
that we are convicted of for a 

599
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,680
guideline. 
The federal government requested

600
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,360
30 years to life. 
So the judge ended up taking the

601
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:22,240
government's request as the 
sentencing guidelines and then 

602
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,520
sentenced us to 15. 
Well, me anyway, 15 years less. 

603
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,560
So I was sentenced to 15 years 
in jail, prison, whatever. 

604
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840
And I, I think it's, I think 
it's important to notice though,

605
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,160
that I was not convicted of any 
assaults at all. 

606
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,920
I, the judge, the judge 
acknowledged, even though I was 

607
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,640
convicted of the structure of 
property that I didn't actually 

608
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,680
touch the fence that was broken 
and I didn't, but I was 

609
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,400
convicted of it anyway. 
Much like you'll eventually hear

610
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,680
Mr. Terry, I was also convicted 
of breaking that fence when he 

611
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,320
wasn't even in the city. 
But so it just shows you right 

612
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,560
there like the type of jury we 
were going up against, you know 

613
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,040
what I mean? 
They're convicting people 

614
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,280
breaking things that didn't 
break things, you know, or. 

615
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Right. 
Well, I mean, my, my empathy, my

616
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,480
heart goes out to you guys. 
I, I have arrested people in 

617
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,400
DCI, arrested a guy on Trump's 
inauguration in 2017 and he was 

618
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,080
shining a laser pointer into a 
Park Police helicopter, which is

619
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,920
a felony. 
And he was released, didn't even

620
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,680
have it go on his record. 
He just had a rough night in 

621
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,000
jail probably, and then went 
home. 

622
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,840
That was the end of it. 
And he was facing at least five 

623
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,720
years for that. 
And he'd probably done it 50 

624
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,080
times during that day. 
And then to find out that you 

625
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,960
guys are doing conspiracy of the
mind and, you know, insurrection

626
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,600
by remote, apparently, as as the
media puts it out there it it's 

627
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,040
it's so absurd for me having 
been in that space to watch it. 

628
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,960
But, you know, the unfairness of
DC is famous, unfortunately. 

629
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,120
I'm curious if you can talk 
about what you feel about the 

630
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,720
justice system, if you grew up 
thinking something different, if

631
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,440
you thought that people got a 
fair shake or if you thought 

632
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,520
that it was always skewed, Maybe
kind of give us a take on what 

633
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,000
it felt like going through this.
Well, like I said, I, I have a 

634
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,400
law enforcement family. 
I come from a law enforcement 

635
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,240
family. 
So, you know, I, I have a good 

636
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,360
sense of the justice system. 
I, like, I, I've tried to stay 

637
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,520
out of trouble my whole life, 
but I, I do understand how it 

638
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,120
works. 
I, I never thought that it would

639
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,080
be frankly this corrupt And, and
I, I don't think it is 

640
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,120
nationwide. 
I, I, I was initially granted 

641
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,520
bail by a Magistrate Judge in 
Pennsylvania. 

642
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:35,280
And I, I do recall the, the 
judge's body language and he 

643
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,120
seemed like it was absurd that 
they wanted to deny me bail. 

644
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,480
So the fact that they used the 
de Novo review to, you know, 

645
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,840
take that power from the 
Magistrate Judge and bring it 

646
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,440
into DC where I was ultimately 
like I was revoked. 

647
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:55,520
I mean, it, it seems to be ADCDC
problem and, and not not like a 

648
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,640
nationwide justice system 
problem, but still nonetheless, 

649
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,560
I mean, this is the Department 
of Justice and the Department of

650
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,760
Justice is at the end of the day
is pulling the strings here, 

651
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,440
whether it's DC or not. 
And it's, it's not a good look, 

652
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,760
at least I, I do have faith in 
the justice system and the fact 

653
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,880
that I'm going to win on appeal.
I, I said from day one, I, I may

654
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,280
not win, win with this jury. 
I may not win on in trial, but I

655
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,560
know I'll win on appeal. 
Like we didn't do what we're 

656
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,880
being accused of. 
And at trial there is, we were 

657
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,080
basically convicted of, you 
know, people's feelings on the 

658
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,760
election and, and politics and 
whatnot. 

659
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,440
You know, if politics had 
nothing to do with our trial, we

660
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,200
probably would have been 
exonerated. 

661
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,200
But politics had everything to 
do with our trial. 

662
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,840
And that's why we were 
convicted. 

663
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,280
And that's the problem. 
You know, it shouldn't be like 

664
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,320
that ever in our justice system.
But luckily, luckily, like I 

665
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,400
said in the appeals court, I 
don't, I don't, I don't think I 

666
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,840
have, I have that issue could be
wrong. 

667
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,760
But I, I, I hope, I hope you get
a fair shake the appeals court. 

668
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,920
Yeah, I know we're all praying 
and pulling for you guys on 

669
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,560
that. 
Talk to me about you've gone 

670
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,560
through basic training, you're 
looking at kind of a rough road 

671
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,520
ahead at least a while. 
It goes through appeals and you 

672
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,800
know, maybe the mindset that 
you're taking into what's in 

673
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,080
front of you. 
You have one minute remaining 

674
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,040
it. 
Goes. 

675
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Yeah, that's us. 
It's alright. 

676
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,040
So. 
Just a mindset that's carrying 

677
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,200
you through what you're looking 
at, you know, based on some of 

678
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,520
the other difficult things 
you've done in your life, you. 

679
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,760
Know I, I, I've, I've, we, we, 
we prepared for the worst. 

680
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,360
I've always prepared for the 
worst in my life. 

681
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,680
I've prepared my wife for the 
worst. 

682
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,800
In this situation, we, we had a 
feeling that this is going to be

683
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,240
dragged out because of the 
politics. 

684
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Once we were denied, once I was 
denied bail, we knew something 

685
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,520
was up, but we knew it was going
to, we knew it was going to be 

686
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,080
something dragged out. 
So we prepared for that and I'll

687
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,880
prepare for anything that's 
that's turned on us. 

688
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,120
But anybody wants to, you know, 
follow through with our with, 

689
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,520
you know, follow along with our 
our trial, like, you know, you 

690
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,920
can follow me on Twitter defend 
Zack or true social defend Zack 

691
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,800
as well. 
So. 

692
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,000
We'll put those out there for 
sure. 

693
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,520
I know we're going to get cut 
off real shortly. 

694
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,640
I want to thank you for coming 
on here. 

695
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,720
We're going to pump all your 
guys gifts and goes as well and 

696
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,040

And we do appreciate you taking 

697
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,800

today with us. 

698
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,760
I know we're going to get shot 
there. 

699
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,560
So thanks so much. 
Thank you for using global Tel 

700
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,600
link. 
It goes quick. 

701
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,440
It goes quick. 
Y'all imagine trying to keep up 

702
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,880
a family relationship doing 
that. 

703
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,040
You know, Ryan, tough. 
Really tough. 

704
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,680
I don't know how these brave men
are doing it, Kyle. 

705
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,680
I don't. 
I could not do it. 

706
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,200
I could not do it. 
If I'm then I'm not. 

707
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,200
I'm not going to lie. 
What's happening to these poor 

708
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,120
men and women in this country 
and the fact that we have 

709
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,640
politicians that are sitting in 
Washington right now, they're 

710
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,080
going on vacation when they work
for us, We the people and their 

711
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,720
constituents are sitting in a 
prison cell rotting away right 

712
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,520
now for crimes that they did not
commit. 

713
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,680
All right, you ready? 
Pulling up bigs here. 

714
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,600
We go. 
This is Kyle. 

715
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Hello. 
Hello, this is Kyle Seraphin. 

716
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,280
Is this Joe? 
Yeah, this is. 

717
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,600
All right, Mr. Biggs, I, I 
really appreciate you calling 

718
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,600
and, and chatting with us today.
I want to kind of get into as 

719
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,120
much as we can in the 15 minutes
we have. 

720
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,080
So I want to start with, I've 
read your profiles. 

721
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,880
I think people have seen your 
face, that people have listened 

722
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,080
to you on the radio, they've 
seen you around social media and

723
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,880
so on. 
But maybe tell people who you 

724
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,480
are, where you grew up. 
I kind of like to give people 

725
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,760
the human touch of, of where 
people come from. 

726
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,600
It's not just a face that they 
see on the news. 

727
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,760
Well, I was pretty much born in 
the Charlotte, NC area. 

728
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:45,400
I grew up around the Carolinas 
and Florida. 

729
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,840
My mother was a teacher, my 
father was a Marine, so we moved

730
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,639
a lot. 
I grew up a lot on college 

731
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:55,920
campuses at Clemson University, 
University of South Carolina, 

732
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,080
University of Florida, or State.
So I've spent most of my 

733
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,200
childhood on college campuses. 
And then I have that Marine 

734
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,120
Corps aspect. 
And then I decided to myself 

735
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,040
after 9911, joined the army to 
piss off my dad. 

736
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Yeah, I was going to say that 
must have hurt his feelings a 

737
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,520
little bit. 
You went Army when you could 

738
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:14,800
have had a much prettier 
uniform. 

739
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,960
Yeah, but you know what? 
We get better toys so I was OK 

740
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,560
with that. 
That's fair. 

741
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,560
Tell me about your time in the 
army. 

742
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:27,600
It was fun. 
You know, I, I got Fort Bragg. 

743
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,400
I wanted Fort Bragg. 
I went there, deployed pretty 

744
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,560
soon when I got to my unit, my 
first start and said, hey, 

745
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,440
you've got some college, so that
means you're smart. 

746
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,320
I said, yeah, I guess so. 
And he sent me to EMT school. 

747
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,000
I guess there was a shortage of,
we got a shortage of medics at 

748
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,520
the time when we first went into
Iraq for me like around 2003, 

749
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,160
2004. 
So they sent me to EMT school. 

750
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,320
I went over there, did convoy 
security. 

751
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,960
I was the the first guy. 
I was like the, the route Finder

752
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,160
for all the convoys going 
through Iraq and the first one 

753
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,880
to get blown up. 
So basically we would drive 

754
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,280
around, get blown up and I would
patch myself and my guys up and 

755
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,400
that was fun. 
And then I went to Afghanistan 

756
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:16,360
where we did more of kind of 
boat patrols, mount patrols and 

757
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,320
things like that through the 
coast province. 

758
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,160
We had our own little AO around 
the terrace, IEDC and outside of

759
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,200
Salerno. 
And, you know, we did a lot of 

760
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,360
stuff, you know, going out there
trying to create show points for

761
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,240
the Taliban, for any of the 
insurgents coming in and out of 

762
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,880
Pakistan on the border right 
there. 

763
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,640
We're trying to slap stop a lot 
of the flow of the weapons and 

764
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,720
munitions and things like that. 
So I, I spent a lot of time 

765
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,800
doing that. 
I've been to a lot of funerals, 

766
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,320
seen a lot of crazy stuff. 
And you know, when I, when I, 

767
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,800
the military, I, I needed 
something to keep that 

768
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,160
adrenaline going on. 
And I end up finding a job as a 

769
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,720
reporter and I actually got kind
of a gig doing St. stuff. 

770
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:06,120
So I I. 
I covered lots of riots, a lot 

771
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,800
of protests turned riots and 
terrorist attacks all over the 

772
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,640
world. 
I was there just a couple of 

773
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,600
like a day after the Bodakan 
theater attack. 

774
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,600
I went there on the raids with 
the, the police in Saint 

775
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,920
Anthony, France, when they were 
looking for the ISIS fighters. 

776
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,480
I followed them all the way up 
in the Molenbeek, Belgium, and 

777
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,120
found the places where the 
suspected ISIS fighters came 

778
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,520
from. 
So I, I, I've been in it for a 

779
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,440
while. 
I, I, I like doing that, but 

780
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,560
never in a million years. 
But I think I find myself in 

781
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,560
jail, being charged with 
something akin to terrorism for 

782
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,400
the barely walking around that 
day of the castle. 

783
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,320
Yeah, that's that's kind of what
I want to touch on there. 

784
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,040
You've seen combat, you've seen,
you've seen what war looks like,

785
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,680
you've seen what riots and and 
real St. violence looks like. 

786
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,400
Can you compare that experience 
based on, you know, many, many 

787
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:54,040
hours in it and then maybe 
against what you saw for the 

788
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,720
couple hours that went on on 
January 6th? 

789
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,760
Well, January 6th was, it was, 
it was an interesting thing. 

790
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,360
So you know, you had, you had 
multiple groups of people who 

791
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,120
had permits all across the DC 
area, quite a few around the 

792
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,280
capital area and you had them, 
the main one at the Ellipse 

793
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,720
where the president was 
speaking. 

794
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,720
We'd heard the president before.
So we chose to go to some of the

795
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:20,760
other events and they had 
multiple permits set up around 

796
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,080
that spot. 
So it it was a unique 

797
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,080
environment that you had instead
of being like one regular 

798
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,080
protest when I was in Ferguson, 
MO, you had everybody congregate

799
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,080
in one area. 
Then one thing sparked that and 

800
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,080
it picked up from, you know, 
that one area and the police and

801
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,480
the firefighters and everybody 
knew how to respond to that. 

802
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,520
You know, that that act of 
violence that kind of sparked 

803
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,160
the riot here. 
It was from all over the place. 

804
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,280
You had people from coming from 
multiple different rallies from 

805
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,480
multiple places. 
You didn't know who was in what 

806
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,080
group and what their intentions 
were. 

807
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,440
So it was really a recipe for 
disaster. 

808
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,200
You know, when I was standing in
the front up there, I was on the

809
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,880
bullhorn. 
I was doing my normal chance 

810
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,640
that I always did. 
But about 25 yards in front of 

811
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,240
me there was another guy that we
call black megaphone guy. 

812
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,400
We still don't know who he is. 
He was telling people now that 

813
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,000
we've gone back and been able to
seen footage. 

814
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,200
Hey, you need to get them into 
the front lines. 

815
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,160
Get up here to the fence. 
We need to push this fence down.

816
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,640
We need to charge for it. 
We need to go to the Capitol. 

817
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,880
But I get blamed for that 
somehow. 

818
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,960
And the footage shows this other
man doing that. 

819
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,360
You know what? 
What sparked what, what, what 

820
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,440
happened was this one simple guy
went up there, pushed, they had 

821
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,240
the right people around them 
that that were there to to kick 

822
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,040
it off. 
The crowd didn't know what was 

823
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,320
going on. 
And as the as the fence went 

824
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,000
forward, people just started 
flooding forward and it kind of 

825
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,960
went out of control. 
You know, what I saw in Ferguson

826
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,600
was when they announced the no 
indictment on Officer Darren 

827
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,560
Wilson, one person threw a 
bottle at the fire department 

828
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,680
right over my head. 
I was actually with my camera 

829
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,160
crew set up at the fire 
department. 

830
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,440
Bottle went over my head, 
shatters. 

831
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,200
And then everything from there 
went to chaos. 

832
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,520
Browns are flying pepper balls, 
you know, you name it, M Raptor 

833
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,440
in the street. 
And it went on for days. 

834
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,440
This happened much the same, but
they're trying to Contra up the 

835
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,400
story and say that it was a lot 
more organized than what it was 

836
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,760
when it wasn't. 
You know that there was nothing 

837
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,040
organized about that, that that 
was another protest turned riot.

838
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,080
And it sucks it happened but 
happens all the time. 

839
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,480
And I'm not sure why they're 
making. 

840
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,320
Such a big deal out of out of it
with. 

841
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,400
Us and they don't with the other
ones. 

842
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,720
I think a lot of Americans are 
seeing that same thing, the 

843
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:28,600
disproportionate response to 
what happened in Ferguson, what 

844
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,880
happened in Baltimore, what 
happened in 2020 in a dozen 

845
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,000
cities around the United States.
And, and you've kind of just 

846
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,040
touched on it. 
What were your feelings going in

847
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,360
after watching what happened 
throughout the the say March to 

848
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,520
December of 2020? 
What were you feeling about this

849
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,400
country? 
I, I knew things were on edge 

850
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,480
and I knew things were, you 
know, intense. 

851
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,440
People were kind of at a point 
where, you know, even on regular

852
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,240
stations like NPR and things 
like that, people were talking 

853
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,680
about civil war. 
That was a pretty common topic 

854
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,880
amongst people. 
And when I was doing interviews,

855
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,440
let's say Dateline and things 
like that, I had a lot of 

856
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,000
reporters coming to my house in 
that time frame interviewing me 

857
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,000
and asking me what, you know, 
what do I think about a coming 

858
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,520
civil war? 
This is something that everyone 

859
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,120
was talking about at that time. 
But for some reason the 

860
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,760
government wants to hit in on 
the fact that I've talked about 

861
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,000
it before. 
I talked about it simply because

862
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,200
that's my job as a reporter and 
it was a main topic at that 

863
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,720
time. 
People on on edge, people don't 

864
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,880
trust the the voting system that
we have in place. 

865
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,480
People don't trust our elected 
officials. 

866
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,600
They don't want to trust these 
people that are pointed over it.

867
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,760
And they smell corruption and 
there's fear in the air and 

868
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,480
people don't know what to do. 
And I think that's a kind of a 

869
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,920
powder check for, you know, what
happened on January 6th. 

870
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,840
Yeah, I think that that makes a 
lot of sense. 

871
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,800
We we talked to Zachary about 
his hope for appeal. 

872
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,520
What, what are your feelings 
about the justice system as it 

873
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,960
stands right now and and how 
things are looking down the road

874
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,560
for you guys? 
Well, I mean, not only do I hope

875
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,840
that the, you know, this appeal 
system works, America should 

876
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,440
hope that it works. 
Because if we can't get a good, 

877
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,720
fair try in the appeal courts 
here, I think we're pretty much 

878
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:09,280
tuned to the country. 
If they can come after me and 

879
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,280
charge me with terrorism for 
shaking a fence, what else are 

880
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,840
they going to go after people 
for next? 

881
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,920
You know, this is only going to 
embolden the Department of 

882
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,520
Justice, is only going to 
embolden those individuals who 

883
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,760
got away with this. 
And we need to make sure that, 

884
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,880
you know, as American citizens 
that we are voting when it's 

885
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,400
time to vote, that we're paying 
attention to the people that we 

886
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,640
vote. 
And we look at the ways that 

887
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,840
those people have voted before 
in the past and make sure that 

888
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,800
we put people in power that 
should be in power. 

889
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,560
I think that's something that 
needs to be done. 

890
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,000
Because if we don't get a good 
fair trial or we don't get a 

891
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,280
good fair appeal in DC, you 
know, it's hard to say, You 

892
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,080
know, then we're kind of 
dependent upon a, a Trump 

893
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,600
presidency or someone else out 
there at dark Horse who might 

894
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,880
come in down the road. 
And I just don't know. 

895
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,160
I, I, I think they've already 
gotten away with so many things 

896
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,240
on the left that right now it's 
too easy for them to get away 

897
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:03,880
with it because no one's really 
done anything to stop them. 

898
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,520
I agree with that as well. 
My, my, my audience kind of 

899
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,800
hears me talk about the fact 
that there's a certain energy 

900
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,720
that is on the left right now 
that is, that is very mobile. 

901
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,920
They've done sort of, if you 
want to call it the political 

902
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,680
dry run by going after a lot of 
people from January 6th in a way

903
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,280
that I, I did not see. 
I couldn't even imagine someone 

904
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,200
telling me to go investigate A 
misdemeanor when I was working 

905
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,520
there. 
I think I would have laughed it 

906
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,640
off. 
I've turned down, you know, 

907
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,800
felonies on a regular basis 
because we didn't have time or 

908
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,240
resources. 
And then they went after Trump 

909
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:33,240
in a way that was unprecedented,
which you guys probably saw 

910
00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:36,200
from, you know, while under the,
the shadow of indictment. 

911
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,400
And now that you guys have been,
you know, convicted and, and 

912
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,120
you're dealing with a sentencing
and you're seeing 4 indictments 

913
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,800
hangover the former president. 
You know what, what are your 

914
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,600
thoughts about the energy level 
that is going into this sort of 

915
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:47,840
persecution? 
I'll call it. 

916
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,960
Well, I can tell you the his Co 
defendants are probably going to

917
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,080
be scared right now, you know, 
because like I said, the the the

918
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,720
left, they have an energy right 
now that is probably a kendo 

919
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,480
steamroller. 
You know, it's kind of hard to 

920
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,800
stop one of those. 
And they've gotten away with so 

921
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,160
much and they're going to 
continue to keep pushing and 

922
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,040
keep pushing and and rolling 
over as many people as they can 

923
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,320
until they feel like they're 
safe to continue leading the way

924
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,080
they want to. 
That's the sad thing. 

925
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,640
I, I don't know, you know, it's 
hard to say right now. 

926
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,600
I'm at a loss sometimes. 
You know what, when I saw what I

927
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,000
saw in the trial really blew my 
mind. 

928
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,520
When the FBI agents were coming 
in, like, we got this guy. 

929
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,160
We got this guy that's so big. 
We went to his house and they 

930
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,640
lay down on the table the 
evidence and it was coins, 

931
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,480
challenge coins and Proud Boys 
T-shirts and flags for my room 

932
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,160
and things like that. 
Like, you know, we got this guy,

933
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,920
he's evil scum. 
And I'm like you, you've got 

934
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,000
coins where we tell Dick jokes. 
You've got got T-shirts making 

935
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,920
fun of each other. 
This is insane. 

936
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,800
We're really wasting this kind 
of money on this. 

937
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,520
And you know that they're 
they're they're taking things 

938
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,880
that we said that are clearly 
jokes and they're trying to make

939
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,720
this some serious thing. 
We're we're a group of guys who 

940
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:11,240
joke about everything. 
We literally during the trial, 

941
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:13,840
we were pulling pranks on each 
other, me and Enrique, when 

942
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,280
Enrique in between breaks in the
trial, when we were downstairs 

943
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,760
in the holding cell, I was 
toilet papering him like he was 

944
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,480
a mummy. 
You know, we, we even in and all

945
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,520
of this, we're just a bunch of 
guys who like to joke, you know,

946
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,800
we were doing like 3 legged 
races with our legs cuffed 

947
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,720
together, running and chasing 
each other around the courtroom.

948
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,520
You know, you've got to have fun
and you've got to maintain some 

949
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,040
kind of morale and all this. 
But you know, it's, it's bad out

950
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,760
there and they're crazy and 
they're coming after us and it 

951
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,120
came for me and my buddies and 
I, I don't know, man. 

952
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,840
I mean, what do you guys, what 
do, what do you think is 

953
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,120
happening and what can be done? 
Well, we're we're going to keep 

954
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,160
pushing awareness. 
I, I don't know, I, I feel like 

955
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,200
it's going to, I think it's the 
things you highlighted are true 

956
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:55,480
that there's a lot of ugliness 
and there's an awful lot of 

957
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,720
anger that seems very impotent 
and, and mispointed. 

958
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:01,720
And why would be at you is it's 
a proxy for something. 

959
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:03,680
I just can't figure out what it 
is that they hate so much other 

960
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,480
than they hate America. 
I'm curious now. 

961
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,800
I've talked to, to Dominic, I've
talked to Zachary, I'm talking 

962
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,880
to you. 
You've all have gone through a 

963
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,320
basic training. 
You've all kind of dealt with 

964
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,320
the suck in the military. 
You talk about how that may give

965
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,200
you guys the ability to have 
that kind of gallows humor where

966
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,960
you can tie each other up like 
mummies and do 3 legged races. 

967
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,840
Yeah, I guess, you know, I I 
don't know. 

968
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,560
I mean, I, I grew up. 
My, my, my, my, my real brother.

969
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,160
But, you know, like my blood 
brother David, he was a Marine. 

970
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,520
We always did that. 
You know, when, when you're 

971
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,960
around a bunch of guys who've 
seen a lot of crazy stuff, 

972
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,720
you've got to learn it's a joke 
in the bad times and the good 

973
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:43,640
times, you got to learn to, to 
find that, that, that, that 

974
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,960
glitter of hope and that ability
to, to reach in and, and, and 

975
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,200
get that little bit of fuel left
in your body to push and keep 

976
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,160
going. 
You know, I, I, I don't quit. 

977
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,440
I don't have quit in me. 
God didn't build me for quit. 

978
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,720
God built me to, to keep going 
and to keep fighting. 

979
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:01,800
And I'm going to fight until the
day that I die, you know, and, 

980
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,760
and after that, I, I hope people
still fight in our name. 

981
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,320
And I hope people still continue
to push for justice and push for

982
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,080
the right because you know what 
if, if, if you're in this to 

983
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,160
quit, then you're in this for 
the wrong thing. 

984
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:14,600
Because we're at a war right 
now. 

985
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,440
And you know, a war for our 
freedom, a war for our rights, a

986
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,560
war for our country or for our 
culture, for what we are, you 

987
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,800
know, our values for Christian 
values for the nuclear family. 

988
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,200
If you're not willing to fight, 
they needed to move the hell 

989
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,800
over and let people who are 
willing to fight get in there 

990
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,160
and take control. 
You mentioned God, you mentioned

991
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,280
faith, you mentioned the war. 
That's a spiritual war. 

992
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,400
I I think maybe tell us what are
your prayers sound like when, 

993
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,240
when you're when you're laying 
down and closing your eyes at 

994
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:44,640
night? 
Well, I always ask God first to 

995
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,280
give me a understanding before I
read the Bible, you know, to, 

996
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,000
you know, God, you know, kind of
talk to me and tell me what it 

997
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,720
is you want me to see here. 
And then with that, God give me 

998
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:59,040
the understanding I need and the
wisdom I need to implement what 

999
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,560
it is you're trying to tell me. 
And I try to meditate on that 

1000
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,720
and sleep. 
You have one minute remaining. 

1001
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,680
Family and I pray for my 
enemies, I pray for the judges, 

1002
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,880
I pray for the court system. 
I pray for the the the AUSA 

1003
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,080
attorneys. 
I pray for everyone out there 

1004
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,320
that's doing the wrong thing 
that God will reach into them, 

1005
00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:18,200
soften their hearts and help 
them see the truth and to do the

1006
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,640
right thing and help us out. 
I can appreciate all that and I 

1007
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,200
think that's some some wise 
words. 

1008
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,720

1015
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,360
I lost my military retirement 
from all this, so she no longer 

1016
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,920
gets that money. 
And this also helps to pay my 

1017

1018

00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,440
I don't want to get cut off on

appreciate it and we're praying 

1023

Thank you for using global Tel 
link. 

1026
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,200
You want to see something that's
else going to make you upset, 

1027
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,520
Kyle, or might as well go ahead.
Go ahead and search on Google 

1028
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,960
free Joe Briggs. 
Tell me what you come up with. 

1029
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,840
Guess what I come up with? 
Google is purposely hiding his 

1030
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,200
content. 
You can't see it anywhere over 

1031
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,720
here. 
I'm searching free Joe Biggs, 

1032
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,840
which is website is 
www.freejoebiggs. 

1033
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,960
It should be the first web page 
that pops up here. 

1034
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,680
It should very least be on page 
one. 

1035
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,320
Yeah, not even nowhere to be 
find. 

1036
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,800
It's all just articles about it 
being sentenced. 

1037
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,200
What if we take the spaces out 
of it? 

1038
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,480
Nope. 
Nope, Nope. 

1039
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,240
Not at all. 
Did you? 

1040
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,120
Yeah, I've got Ethan coming in 
next. 

1041
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,880
Yes, there he is. 
This is Kyle. 

1042
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,600
Hello, this is a prepaid debit 
call. 

1043
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,120
From Ethan Nordine. 
This is Kyle. 

1044
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,360
Hey. 
Kyle, this is Ethan Nordine. 

1045
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,920
How you doing, Ethan? 
I'm watching our clock here. 

1046
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,080
I'm getting better at doing this
thing. 

1047
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,800
So that's just a sad thing to 
have to be good at. 

1048
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,520
But I, I really appreciate you 
speaking with us today. 

1049
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,080
And I'm looking forward to, you 
know, a few minutes of talk and 

1050
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,720
your time. 
I've done the same thing with 

1051
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:22,400
the other guys. 
I want to humanize the story of 

1052
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,920
who it is. 
Everyone's seen like a picture 

1053
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,920
in the news or they've seen a a 
name in the headline like you to

1054
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,480
kind of tell people who you are,
where you grew up, what kind of 

1055
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,280
family you came from, you know, 
what part of America you saw 

1056
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:33,720
growing up and what that lens 
looks like. 

1057
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,200
Yeah, sure. 
Well, my full name's Ethan 

1058
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,840
Nordine. 
Some people actually know me as 

1059
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,800
Rufio Pan Man. 
That's my patriot name out there

1060
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,400
on the West Coast. 
But I grew up in Washington 

1061
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,120
state near the Seattle area my 
whole life, you know, and 

1062
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:55,000
growing up, you know, I was 
raised by a great family, had a 

1063
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,840
great upbringing. 
I went to private school, you 

1064
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,840
know, I spent a lot of time in 
the woods, you know, I was the 

1065
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,520
rode horses. 
I was kind of a country boy, you

1066
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,000
know, dirt bikes, all that, all 
that kind of stuff. 

1067
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,120
And so I kind of grew up in a, 
you know, conservative family, 

1068
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,320
you could say. 
And we've always had a pride for

1069
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:18,880
hard work and, and, you know, 
just kind of living off the land

1070
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,080
and, and I think that kind of, 
you know, sparked my pride in 

1071
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,880
this country. 
And, and I think the last 10 

1072
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,160
years or so growing up, I really
started to see that the dynamic 

1073
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,160
of my state change. 
Washington, anybody who's from 

1074
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,840
that area has been there, as you
know, knows what I'm talking 

1075
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,440
about, the dramatic change from 
like kind of this leftist 

1076
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,480
takeover and. 
Yeah. 

1077
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,360
Starting in 2017 is when I 
started getting active, the 

1078
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,960
Patriot movement. 
Just wanted to lend a hand, see 

1079
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,840
what I could do to help out with
a lot of this destruction and 

1080
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,040
stuff that was happening in the 
cities, these rallies and stuff 

1081
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,280
like that. 
And so, you know, 2017 was 

1082
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,600
really when I started to kind of
get involved obviously with the 

1083
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,360
Proud Boys. 
And you know, the rest is, I 

1084
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,960
mean, I don't know if you want 
to get into the rest now or do 

1085
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,120
you have any other? 
No, this is your story. 

1086
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,040
It's whatever you want to tell. 
And I'm I'm more than happy to 

1087
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:16,000
hear that part. 
Yeah, so 2017, it was actually 

1088
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,760
Mayday. 
And if anybody, if anybody, 

1089
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,720
knows what Mayday is, it's one 
of the biggest days of protests 

1090
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:24,400
in a lot of major cities. 
Certainly in Seattle. 

1091
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,000
Yes, certainly, yeah. 
And it was just projected that 

1092
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,360
there was going to be a lot of 
destruction. 

1093
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,960
And at the time, this was, you 
know, obviously President Trump 

1094
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,240
is already, you know, stepped 
into office and people had 

1095
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,120
really spiked up their, you 
know, activity and as far as 

1096
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,880
protests go, and there's just a 
lot of destruction, people 

1097
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,160
getting banned from colleges and
and violence. 

1098
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,480
And so I. 
Just, you know, I, I. 

1099
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,640
Decided I had enough. 
I'd seen all the YouTube videos 

1100
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,720
everybody's seen. 
And I went out to Seattle with 

1101
00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:55,360
the anticipation of just helping
out local law enforcement, you 

1102
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,160
know, protecting local 
businesses. 

1103
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,440
And I ended up meeting a small 
group of Proud Boys. 

1104
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:06,120
And back then, Proud Boys was, I
mean, just very unorganized. 

1105
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:07,960
Name five breakfast cereals, 
that kind of thing. 

1106
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,600
Yeah, just, I mean, it's just a 
bunch of, you know, blue collar 

1107
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,760
type dudes mostly just joking 
around, everybody making fun of 

1108
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,080
each other. 
But, you know, we were there 

1109
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:22,920
with the kind of, you know, kind
of centered idea that this was 

1110
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,280
kind of messed up what was going
on. 

1111
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,320
And, you know, from all 
different walks of life, we just

1112
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,040
kind of came together in that 
moment. 

1113
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,920
And back then, it was really 
easy to kind of get into the 

1114
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,280
Proud Boys. 
There's like no betting or 

1115
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,640
anything like that. 
And so from 2017 to about 2018, 

1116
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,520
I became pretty prominent, A 
prominent leader in the in the 

1117
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,280
Proud Boys. 
Some people know that I had this

1118
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:53,080
incident in Portland, OR and 
2018 where a Antifa individual 

1119
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,560
attacked me with a collapsible 
ton and it was a video that went

1120
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,440
viral. 
I knocked him out with one 

1121
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,160
punch, and it was the punch 
right around the world. 

1122
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,240
And my fame kind of exploded 
with overnight. 

1123
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:10,560
And it was also how everybody 
kind of from then on out kind of

1124
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,560
labeled me as a violent 
extremist because I fought back.

1125
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,320
And this is kind of a pivotal 
point for a lot of people that I

1126
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,400
think can relate to my 
situation, that, you know, when 

1127
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,680
you fight back, you immediately 
become this violent perpetrator.

1128
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,200
You know, you're not allowed to 
fight back. 

1129
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,320
And I think that. 
It's, I mean, it's interesting 

1130
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,920
you said. 
You saw it in my trial a little 

1131
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,560
bit that, you know, the 
government kind of accuses me of

1132
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,000
recruiting. 
My recruiting ability in the 

1133
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,600
proud voice was because of my my
ability to fight was what they 

1134
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,440
said. 
Yeah, they quoted you as a 

1135
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,840
thuggish level of violence, 
which I thought was really 

1136
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,320
interesting. 
Right. 

1137
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,840
Yeah. 
And you know what's funny is 

1138
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,760
I've never been. 
I have no record at all. 

1139
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,200
I mean, now I do. 
I guess I can say I have. 

1140
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,840
And it's, you know, you'd think 
like, if I was really out there 

1141
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,320
doing this stuff, you know, I'd 
have some kind of track record 

1142
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,000
violence as far as violence 
goes. 

1143
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,520
And it's just not there. 
It doesn't exist because, you 

1144
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,240
know, I've always, I've always 
prided myself on, you know, 

1145
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:17,080
trying to deescalate as much as 
I can and only using force if 

1146
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,960
absolutely necessary. 
And I mean, if you've ever been 

1147
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,600
to some of these events out in 
the West Coast, they get, I 

1148
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,400
mean. 
I I thought I was going to shoot

1149
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,320
some people the last time I was 
in Portland, for what it's 

1150
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,520
worth, and I also thought the 
FBI would hang me out to dry. 

1151
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,840
Exactly, exactly. 
You know, and you get caught in,

1152
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,520
you know, you're between a rock 
and a hard place when you're in 

1153
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,560
these situations where it's 
like, well, I absolutely see the

1154
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,240
need for force here. 
And but I'm also scared as to 

1155
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:43,440
really repercussions because I 
know what the media is going to 

1156
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,920
say and I know there's probably 
going to be an investigation. 

1157
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,840
Then I, you know, now that we're
especially after January 6th, 

1158
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:50,760
you just feel like your hands 
are tied. 

1159
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:56,000
And so I think really what's 
going on here is what we're 

1160
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,080
seeing is you see people like 
me, I've kind of been, you know,

1161
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,360
a unique individual within the 
Proud Boys where I'm being, you 

1162
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,920
know, punished for basically 
standing up against what I 

1163
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,160
believe is wrong and, and 
actually using force against 

1164
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,680
people that, you know, are 
acting out violently. 

1165
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,520
And it's just, I think that's 
the government or whoever wants 

1166
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,640
to discourage that completely. 
I don't even know. 

1167
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,520
It's it's it's hard to say I. 
I think that's why I'm being 

1168
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:29,400
punished because you, you, you 
saw in court, there's this 

1169
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,760
really, no, they couldn't really
pin me on anything. 

1170
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,560
You know, they just kept jumping
around in circles talking about 

1171
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,560
how I'm a violent individual and
how I, you know, I advocate for 

1172
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,240
force and I've only ever used 
force when it was, it was 

1173
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:44,520
necessary and it, and it's 
never, it's only been a handful 

1174
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,800
of times. 
So it was kind of comical to to 

1175
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,680
watch and dance around and try 
and, you know, pin this label on

1176
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,560
me. 
I'm I'm looking, we've got your 

1177
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,120
gifts and go up and we're going 
to put that up. 

1178
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,080
I've got the stand in the gap 
dot foundation. 

1179
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,720
Is that another website that 
would also reach you? 

1180
00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:02,160
Sorry. 
What was the last? 

1181
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,680
One maybe this is maybe the 
wrong one. 

1182
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,880
We've got support Ethan Nordine 
though as the gifts and goes. 

1183
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,400
That sound right? 
Yeah. 

1184
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,960
And, and I'm looking at the 
photo there and I'm looking at 

1185
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,280
the pictures we've got from the 
day of. 

1186
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,200
And it's like you would have fit
in with my buddies who are, you 

1187
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,560
know, kind of mixed bag of 
military, law enforcement guys 

1188
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,400
who know that sometimes you need
to throw a punch, guys who would

1189
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,680
still go to church, but, you 
know, would stand up for their 

1190
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,720
kids or their family. 
So it's it's hard. 

1191
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,520
It sounds like they're making an
example, the guilt by 

1192
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,680
association. 
And then they gave you what, 18 

1193
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,280
years for this? 
Like a judge came down and said 

1194
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,200
that was a reasonable sentence. 
Like what? 

1195
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,480
What was the feeling when that 
happened? 

1196
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,520
You know, it's, it's, it's very 
unique situation. 

1197
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,280
I think that if there's a burden
that kind of comes off your 

1198
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,640
shoulders when you finally are 
rid of this whole procedural 

1199
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:53,320
process. 
And I've kind of had to look at 

1200
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,800
it the best way I know how. 
And I just feel like, you know, 

1201
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,880
I think it's the, it's better 
that they go as crazy as 

1202
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,960
possible and people like me 
because, well, like all, all the

1203
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,920
proud boys here, because, you 
know, it's, it makes it look so 

1204
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,640
much crazier. 
And I think it gets people's 

1205
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,840
attention more just how crazy 
this is. 

1206
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,000
And I just, a part of me just 
doesn't believe it. 

1207
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,640
It's not real, you know, so it's
hard for me to really have a 

1208
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,400
negative response to it. 
I'm, I'm, I'm obviously 

1209
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,920
frustrated that this is, you 
know, our court system doing 

1210
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,600
this to us, our justice system 
feels justified in giving the 

1211
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:32,120
steps down. 
And, you know, at the end of the

1212
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,640
day is that this is something 
that we've all defended and a 

1213
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,320
lot of us would be willing to 
die for. 

1214
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,320
And, and it's kind of 
discouraging. 

1215
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,120
I mean, it's heartbreaking to 
see that it's so easy to hand 

1216
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,240
out sentences that you know, are
destroying people's lives. 

1217
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,720
And and yeah, for my audience's 
benefit, I've seen people who 

1218
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,120
have knocked out and broken the 
face, like the oral sockets of 

1219
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,400
old women on an Indian 
Reservation and get less than 

1220
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,240
four years. 
I've seen people convicted of 

1221
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,520
distributing and creating child 
pornography get 10 years or 

1222
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,160
less, you know, 12 years, tops. 
And they're not going to serve 

1223
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,960
all that. 
And then you guys are getting 

1224
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,800
things like 18 year sentences 
and 15 and 22 years. 

1225
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,360
You know, what is, what is the 
process look like? 

1226
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,680
What, what is your, your, what's
keeping you guys going as far as

1227
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,240
energy? 
And everyone kind of has a 

1228
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,520
different motivator. 
What's what's giving you the 

1229
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,440
hope to to wake up every morning
and put your feet down on the 

1230
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:22,640
floor? 
You know, there's, there's a lot

1231
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,440
I I know. 
That there's still a lot of 

1232
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:25,840
that. 
People out there fighting for 

1233
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,560
us. 
And so obviously we want to, we 

1234
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,040
want to keep the energy alive 
there. 

1235
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,200
I, I really think that we're in 
the midst of, you know, a new 

1236
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,800
revolution of some kind. 
I'm not. 

1237
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,880
And but when I say that, I'm not
advocating for violence or 

1238
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:41,240
anything for anybody who's 
listening. 

1239
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,760
So of course. 
I I just think that there is. 

1240
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,040
A. 
And isn't it sad that we have to

1241
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:49,000
say that right now? 
Exactly, You know, everything 

1242
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,040
will be used against you. 
It can, but it definitely will. 

1243
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,880
So I think that, you know, 
people are are waking up, You 

1244
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,400
know, I've talked to a lot of 
people, even people who aren't 

1245
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,080
chase fixers who see what's 
going on. 

1246
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,800
And there just seems to be this 
kind of. 

1247
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,640
Like, you know, a lot of people 
when they talk about the Great 

1248
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,120
Awakening, it definitely seems 
like it's a legitimate 

1249
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,720
statement. 
People are seeing what's going 

1250
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,160
on. 
But if you don't even 

1251
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,680
necessarily need to see what's 
going on to just feel the kind 

1252
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,680
of general energy that's being 
exuded right now that it just 

1253
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,560
feels like something is, you 
know, just around the bend. 

1254
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,320
And I think it's just kind of a 
feeling of being ready and 

1255
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,400
constant state of readiness of 
whatever's happening and, and 

1256
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,120
being aware, getting out there 
and spreading the truth. 

1257
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,080
As much as possible. 
Preparing people, I think that's

1258
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,520
kind of like just gearing up for
whatever is coming, you know? 

1259
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,800
And being ready is what keeps me
kind of going, you know? 

1260
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,120
That's fair. 
When you look at your crystal 

1261
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,520
ball and you guys have an awful 
lot of time to think, I imagine 

1262
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,360
right now, where do you see the,
the, the forks in the road for 

1263
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,360
this country and, and especially
from your unique position in it 

1264
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:55,720
and having seen what it's just 
done to you. 

1265
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,440
What do I anticipate the future 
to look like? 

1266
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,160
Maybe a couple options if you 
see a couple forks in the road 

1267
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,320
out there because I'm sure 
there's a couple of 

1268
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,200
possibilities in your mind. 
There's a couple possibilities 

1269
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,320
for sure. 
Well, one, I mean, Trump gets 

1270
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,680
elected and, you know, a 
ginormous celebration ensues, 

1271
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,120
you know. 
Obviously that's that's. 

1272
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:26,120
The number one desired outcome 
#2 he doesn't. 

1273
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,560
And I think this is where it 
kind of gets tricky because I'm 

1274
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,720
just hoping that not everybody's
putting their eggs in that 

1275
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,280
basket, all their eggs in that 
basket. 

1276
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,040
You know, I think, like I said, 
we need to be in a state of 

1277
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,520
readiness for whatever happens, 
hope for the best and prepare 

1278
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,480
for the worst. 
You know, we need to get active.

1279
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,800
We need to get involved, you 
know, sign up for some groups 

1280
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:50,040
that you support, write letters,
make phone calls, get out there 

1281
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:54,280
in the streets and get active, 
you know, because there's, 

1282
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,760
there's a third option that's, 
you know, where people don't get

1283
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,280
involved and people kind of put 
all their eggs in the in the 

1284
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,920
Trump basket and it doesn't work
out. 

1285
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,560
And I think everything just 
becomes normalized. 

1286
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,320
What's happening and you're 
already starting to see it. 

1287
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,560
You know, you can pretty much 
point any direction. 

1288
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,480
You got the border, you got our,
our, the schools that are 

1289
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:15,560
teaching our children all these 
things. 

1290
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,680
And you can kind of, you know, 
hear everybody say, oh, man, 

1291
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,960
that's crazy that that's 
happening in pretty much every 

1292
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:25,000
facet of our country. 
And it's, it's kind of sad 

1293
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,600
because it's becoming a normal 
conversation. 

1294
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:27,880
All it sucks that this is 
happening. 

1295
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,120
It sucks that it's happening to 
these, what's happening to these

1296
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:31,840
J Sixers? 
And it sucks that, you know, 

1297
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,760
they got sentenced to 22 years, 
But what do we do? 

1298
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:40,680
And that's option #3 is I think,
you know, our worst potential 

1299
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,120
outcome that people just kind of
give up. 

1300
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:48,360
And I, I really don't feel like 
currently, I don't believe that 

1301
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,920
our spirit is, is currently in 
that position where we're ready 

1302
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,720
to just give up. 
So I'm hoping that people, you 

1303
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,480
know, are ready to fight for 
what they believe in again. 

1304
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,920
And it's, and it's not a in a 
sense of physical fighting, but 

1305
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,480
in a sense. 
Of in a metaphorical and 

1306
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,920
rhetorical way. 
Metaphorically speaking, right? 

1307
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,400
My my buddy got in trouble with 
this with the FBI too. 

1308
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,600
Exactly right. 
And so you got, you know, I 

1309
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,000
think people need to be 
inspired, people need to be 

1310
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,840
given permission, say, hey, you 
know what this is what you're 

1311
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,720
feeling is this it's correct, 
it's what's happening is wrong. 

1312
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,400
And So what are we going to do 
about that as a country? 

1313
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,080
And, and I think that comes down
to a lot of people be willing to

1314
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,480
step into leadership position to
maybe, you know, felt like, 

1315
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,560
well, I don't know if I'm ready 
for that or I don't know if 

1316
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,160
that's my job. 
Like, look, you know, if you 

1317
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:42,120
feel like you are compelled to 
step into the shoes of, you 

1318
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,320
know, any situation, do it, You 
know, like we need leaders 

1319
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,520
really badly. 
Our kids need leaders more than 

1320
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,560
anything right now. 
If, if you, if you have a hard 

1321
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,080
time picking an area that you 
need to fight in, just think of 

1322
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,080
our kids. 
I mean, if we can't stand for 

1323
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,600
them, then I don't really think 
we can stand. 

1324
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:01,560
You have one minute remaining. 
All right. 

1325
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,080
And our last minute here is the 
lady has just told us, can you 

1326
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,080
tell people where they can 
support you the best ways that 

1327
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,600
you would appreciate support, 
whether it be letters or, or 

1328
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,360
financial or anything else. 
And we'll, we'll share all that 

1329
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,520
along. 
Yeah, honestly, the best thing 

1330
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,960
that we, the thing that we need 
the most right now is financial 

1331
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,000
support with the legal battles 
ahead in our family. 

1332
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,640
I mean, it's honestly, I wish 
there was more that we could do,

1333
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,040
but. 
That's that's the biggest 

1334
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,280
resource. 
We need right now it's just 

1335
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,800
financial. 
And are your attorneys? 

1336
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,400
Are they publicly defenders? 
Are they people that are that 

1337
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,320
are like a Shipley or something 
like that that's involved in a 

1338
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,880
defense fund? 
My attorney is Nick Smith. 

1339
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,840
We're looking at some 
potentially get some other 

1340
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,800
appellate attorneys as well 
'cause we're on the appeal, 

1341
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,920
appeal side now. 
But he's a phenomenal attorney 

1342
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,600
and between all of us, we have a
really good power team as far as

1343
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,120
legal defense goes. 
OK, well, we're going to share 

1344
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,120
all that. 
And rather than get 

1345
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,200
unceremoniously cut off, I want 
to thank you so much for 

1346
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,480
speaking to us today, Ethan. 
And and hang in there. 

1347
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,200
We're praying for you. 
Thank you, Kyle. 

1348
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,320
Thank you for using global Tel 
link. 

1349
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,120
This is Kyle. 
Hello, this is a prepaid debit 

1350
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,680
call from Henry. 
This is Kyle Serafin. 

1351
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,160
Is this Enrique? 
Kyle, can you hear me? 

1352
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:21,400
I can, yes. 
Can you hear me? 

1353
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,440
This is Enrique. 
Yeah, I. 

1354
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,520
Hear you fine. 
How's my audio coming? 

1355
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:27,720
In it's great. 
We've got it recorded and it's 

1356
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,760
coming in nicely and I want to 
I'm going to manage the time on 

1357
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,360
this if that's cool with you. 
I'm getting better at doing 

1358
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,160
this, which is sad to say, but 
let's I want to start. 

1359
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:36,880
I want to say that you're 
probably the most maligned 

1360
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,760
person. 
I think your case to me seems 

1361
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,120
like the most insane thing I've 
ever heard being convicted of a 

1362
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,360
a conspiracy without ever being 
part of a thing physically. 

1363
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,680
So maybe you would tell people 
the most important thing, which 

1364
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,800
is who you are as a person, 
where you grew up, you know, 

1365
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,200
the, the lens that you bring to,
to life and, and, and the family

1366
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:55,880
you came from. 
And if you would do that, that'd

1367
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,440
be, I think, illuminating for 
folks. 

1368
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,960
OK, well some of your listeners 
may know my name, Enrique Tario.

1369
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,400
I was born and raised out of 
Miami, FL from Cuban parents, 

1370
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,160
raised in a very, you know, anti
authoritarian home, you know, 

1371
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:13,760
specifically anti communist 
home. 

1372
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:19,520
And you know, I, like I said, I 
was born and raised in Miami, 

1373
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,640
not AI think I went to a little 
bit of college. 

1374
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:28,440
I'm self educated and I'm very, 
very, you know, I've, I've been 

1375
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,240
a very active activist since 
2004. 

1376
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,920
And you know, I just, I'm very 
passionate about, about what 

1377
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,480
what I do. 
What do you think about this 

1378
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,040
country growing up, especially 
with immigrant parents? 

1379
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:42,560
Like what? 
What did you see this country 

1380
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:44,240
as? 
And maybe tell me how that's 

1381
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:51,080
changed over the last 2-3 years?
Well, I'm going to tell you my 

1382
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,840
views of the country have 
completely evolved over the 

1383
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,600
course of of these two years 
that I've been in jail. 

1384
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,800
But before that, you know, I 
felt like the country was going 

1385
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,440
in a very poor direction, very 
negative direction. 

1386
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,680
The polarization was seen. 
I mean, I saw the polarization 

1387
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:13,640
coming a mile away. 
And I'm a Trump supporter 

1388
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,080
simply. 
And I wanted, that's why I want,

1389
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,600
I supported Trump because I saw 
him as something different that 

1390
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,400
would come in and change the 
status quo and drain the swamp. 

1391
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:29,840
And actually what we saw was, 
you know, how powerful the swamp

1392
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,000
really was. 
And I'm sitting here as a 

1393
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,360
testament to that. 
And like you said, you know, I 

1394
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,160
get what a conspiracy is. 
I'm not, I'm not, I don't have 

1395
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,240
to be there in order to be 
charged with the conspiracy. 

1396
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,160
I get that whole notion. 
But the problem was that I was 

1397
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:49,560
against everything that, that, 
that they're accusing me of. 

1398
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:54,120
You know, I tried to make peace.
I tried to, to, to work with law

1399
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:59,720
enforcement before these rallies
to keep people safe from people 

1400
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,960
that wanted to harm them, from 
supporters that were being 

1401
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,040
harmed by members of Antifa, 
things like that. 

1402
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,720
And I'm paying the price for 
that now. 

1403
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,640
I'm paying the price for that. 
Yeah. 

1404
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,880
Would it surprise you to learn 
that they were briefing about 

1405
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,479
Proud Boys and and sort of 
considering them a far right 

1406
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,439
organization in 2017 in 
Washington field by the by the 

1407
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,479
head of the domestic terrorism 
units there? 

1408
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,680
I mean, that absolutely does not
surprise me whatsoever. 

1409
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:36,279
I've this politicization of, of 
like these, these federal 

1410
01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:38,439
agencies has been around for a 
very long time. 

1411
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,680
And I think a lot of people are 
waking up to it now. 

1412
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,439
But it's, it's, it's, it's been 
around. 

1413
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,720
It's not, it's not, it didn't 
come around right after Biden 

1414
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:47,920
got elected. 
It's been there. 

1415
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,600
Biden has just done a better job
at weaponizing him. 

1416
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,600
You know, and I've always had a 
huge respect for the law 

1417
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,319
enforcement community. 
But when you're talking about 

1418
01:08:55,319 --> 01:08:59,560
the FBI, you know, they, they 
are, they are what they are. 

1419
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:04,240
They're they're a Gestapo force.
Has your opinion on that changed

1420
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,520
over your lifetime? 
Obviously recently, I think it 

1421
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:07,479
makes sense. 
Is there? 

1422
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,240
Was there something you saw 
growing up that was different? 

1423
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,080
I mean, I started seeing, I 
started seeing a little bit of 

1424
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,920
it before, but I wouldn't 
really, it wasn't, it wasn't my 

1425
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,160
cup of tea to to focus on that. 
But yeah, I did see, I did see a

1426
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,560
little bit of change in that. 
And I thought, and I thought in 

1427
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:30,120
2017 with us specifically when 
it came to to federal agencies, 

1428
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,319
I mean, again, when when I would
come into city and we'd get 

1429
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:37,880
threats from from other states, 
I'd reach out to the FBI and 

1430
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,240
make sure that, you know, all 
rally goers are safe. 

1431
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:44,080
But I did see that there was a 
hesitancy from them. 

1432
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,840
Yeah, I think it was an extreme 
lack of knowledge there. 

1433
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:49,960
Having received some of those 
briefings and being a guy who, 

1434
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,399
you know, watched Gavin McInnes 
and heard him tell the story of 

1435
01:09:52,399 --> 01:09:54,800
the Proud Boys many times. 
It was really strange to listen 

1436
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,200
to somebody come up and give a 
brief and have literally no 

1437
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,680
concept of who they were and and
no concept of what you guys were

1438
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:02,280
about. 
And, you know, saying things 

1439
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:03,880
that made no sense to me. 
Maybe. 

1440
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:05,640
Yeah. 
You've been called a racist in 

1441
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,160
in the news media. 
You've been demonized in a way 

1442
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:09,600
that I think is pretty 
incredible. 

1443
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,960
Maybe talk about what that felt 
like and and as you first got it

1444
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,400
and then maybe as your thin your
skin thickened up. 

1445
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,720
So I mean, obviously calling me 
a white supremacist is probably 

1446
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,640
the stupidest practice I've ever
heard in my life. 

1447
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,400
I'm a very brown individual. 
I speak better Spanish than I do

1448
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:34,040
English. 
I have African roots and the 

1449
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,800
only thing is I've never taken 
anything that anybody tells me 

1450
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,680
to heart. 
I've been called every name in 

1451
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,280
the book and I don't take it to 
heart. 

1452
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,480
I actually take it. 
I take it in stride. 

1453
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,120
And I feel like the more they do
it, the more effective I, I've 

1454
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:52,240
been throughout the years. 
And it but it does, it does have

1455
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,400
a dampening effect on it because
even people on our side that 

1456
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,960
don't know that hear these 
things, sometimes people don't 

1457
01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:02,200
want to talk to us because of 
that. 

1458
01:11:02,480 --> 01:11:05,480
And, you know, my mission was to
make sure that like, spread the 

1459
01:11:05,480 --> 01:11:09,560
message through as as many means
as possible. 

1460
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,880
So, yeah, it does make it a 
little difficult, but I did take

1461
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:13,280
it in stride. 
It didn't bother me 

1462
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,360
specifically. 
I mean, we've seen, we've seen, 

1463
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,400
we've seen them call everything 
that they've called us they've 

1464
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:23,680
done to just regular Trump 
supporters, white supremacist, 

1465
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,360
white nationalist Nazis. 
I mean, I could, we could. 

1466
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,920
You don't have enough time on 
this show for me to say all the 

1467
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,640
things that I've been called. 
No, I'm, I'm kind of a fan of 

1468
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:33,800
being called those things as 
well. 

1469
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,880
I feel like it means I'm just 
being an honest human. 

1470
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,000
Maybe talk a little bit about we
had some kind of high hopes in 

1471
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,080
after 2022 with the election 
and, and, you know, taking the 

1472
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,000
speakership in the House. 
I haven't seen a lot of movement

1473
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,080
by politicians. 
Have you had any reach out to 

1474
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,440
you or any support that you felt
that is tangible from the 

1475
01:11:50,440 --> 01:11:55,360
Republican Party? 
I have not gotten any, any 

1476
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,120
politicians have not reached out
to us. 

1477
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,720
I've seen, I've heard that some 
of them are supporting us on 

1478
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,240
their social media, specifically
with these sentences that were 

1479
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,800
handed down between last week 
and yesterday. 

1480
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,360
I, I appreciate that support, 
but we need more. 

1481
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:16,240
You know, in the next couple 
days, I will be speaking in 

1482
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,760
length about something that 
happened to me during my 

1483
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,320
incarceration. 
I'll probably be talking a 

1484
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,720
little bit more about it 
tomorrow. 

1485
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:26,960
I'm not sure what medium I'm 
going to be sharing that, but if

1486
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,000
you want to have me back on and 
I'll talk about it. 

1487
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:34,360
But there is I, I am calling for
the weaponization committee, the

1488
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,680
Weaponization of Federal 
Government committee to shoot me

1489
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,400
a subpoena because I had 
information that they, I think 

1490
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:43,560
that they would, they would, 
they would see, it's very, very 

1491
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,200
crucial to what that 
weaponization is. 

1492
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,240
I've seen it first hand. 
I can't really talk about what 

1493
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:53,440
it is on this show, but it is, 
it is something very explosive, 

1494
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,920
something that's going on right 
now with recent events. 

1495
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:01,760
And you know what, What bigger 
weaponization it is than me 

1496
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:06,120
being put in prison for 22 years
of my life, 22 years of my life 

1497
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,320
for wrong think and speech. 
You know, I know I'm a rabble 

1498
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,000
rouser. 
I know that that's what I am. 

1499
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,880
I know that I speak truth to 
power and I speak it as 

1500
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:22,240
energetically as possible. 
But it costing me 22 years of my

1501
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,480
life. 
It's not, It's not. 

1502
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,440
It cost me a day of my life is 
not is not feasible. 

1503
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,520
Then these politicians need to 
step up more. 

1504
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,360
But again, I asked the 
weaponization committee to shoot

1505
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:35,640
me a subpoena. 
Then I got information that is 

1506
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,560
more explosive than anything 
that they've ever seen. 

1507
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:39,680
OK, fair enough. 
Yeah, for starters, you're 

1508
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,600
welcome back 100%. 
You tell me when. 

1509
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,160
And the other piece of it is, is
that I keep noticing that these 

1510
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,640
politicians seem to act like 
there's J6 is a non winner for 

1511
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,840
them and therefore they've just 
they're hoping it'll go away. 

1512
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,320
You guys are obviously in a in a
horrible position right now. 

1513
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,160
Maybe talk about your 
understanding of the 1st 

1514
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,360
amendment and and how something 
like this could happen in 

1515
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:08,560
America. 
I mean, like I told you, me 

1516
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,520
being locked away for two years 
has radically changed my 

1517
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,320
position on, you know, how our 
government works, what the 

1518
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,640
Constitution is and who the 
American people are. 

1519
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,880
I believe we're fighting for 
constitutional rights that 

1520
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,200
haven't existed in this country 
in a very long time. 

1521
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:29,480
I mean, I hate to say it, but I 
can't name 1 constitutional 

1522
01:14:29,480 --> 01:14:32,600
protection. 
That is, it is protected. 

1523
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,560
You know, we, we're seeing these
judges and I heard it, I've 

1524
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,680
heard it throughout these 
January 6 cases where judges 

1525
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,520
themselves are saying that the 
First Amendment is not absolute.

1526
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,880
By God, if the First Amendment 
is an absolute in our 

1527
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,400
Constitution, I don't know what 
is. 

1528
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,040
The Second Amendment doesn't 
exist. 

1529
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:54,000
You know, I love our doc. 
I love that founding document. 

1530
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,480
But in this country and to this 
government, it means nothing. 

1531
01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,400
It really does mean nothing to 
them. 

1532
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,520
But going through trial has 
completely disgusted me on how 

1533
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:08,600
this justice system works. 
There is no free speech defense 

1534
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,400
to, to, to, to this government 
and the prosecution. 

1535
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,480
People are being put in jail for
simply protesting something. 

1536
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,880
I get it. 
I get it, and I've set it up a 

1537
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,280
million times. 
If you assaulted a police 

1538
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,480
officer, you should do some jail
time. 

1539
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,440
Not as much as jail time as that
they're given. 

1540
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,600
You should use some jail time. 
If you broke something, you 

1541
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,160
should be charged with 
destruction of property. 

1542
01:15:34,440 --> 01:15:36,440
You got me. 
If you trespass, you should be 

1543
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:40,480
charged with trespassing. 
But if you spoke out against the

1544
01:15:40,480 --> 01:15:43,240
government, I definitely don't 
think that somebody should be 

1545
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:48,440
charged with sedition. 
I, I, I, I really believe that 

1546
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,640
that, you know, we're in, we're 
not at a crossroads, I'm sorry 

1547
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,320
to say. 
We're not at a crossroads. 

1548
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:58,480
We've been traveling down the 
long path for a very, very, very

1549
01:15:58,480 --> 01:15:59,960
long time. 
OK. 

1550
01:15:59,960 --> 01:16:02,400
And if you speak out against it,
here's another thing about 

1551
01:16:02,440 --> 01:16:04,720
members of law enforcement and 
free speech. 

1552
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,360
I, like I said, I try to work 
with enforcement as soon as I go

1553
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,720
ahead and, and I get to a city 
to make sure that everything's 

1554
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,000
peaceful. 
I tried to bring one of those 

1555
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,040
law enforcement officers into 
our trial as a witness. 

1556
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,240
And guess what happened to him, 
Kyle? 

1557
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:24,440
I don't know. 
They went to his house and they 

1558
01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:28,040
told him that if he were to 
testify, that they would put him

1559
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,440
in jail. 
And you know what he told me? 

1560
01:16:30,440 --> 01:16:32,600
He's like, look, I can't do it. 
I can't risk my job. 

1561
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,920
I can't risk my family. 
You know what they did 10 days 

1562
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,960
after they convicted us? 
They arrested that gentleman. 

1563
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,040
He's a Lieutenant. 
Of the Force he's. 

1564
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:45,360
Been with Metropolitan Police 
Department for 22 years as a 

1565
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,640
Lieutenant in the force. 
OK, if you go against this 

1566
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,360
government, they are going to 
put you in jail. 

1567
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,400
I don't know how to fix it. 
I don't have a solution, but I 

1568
01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:58,560
know that we're not doing 
enough. 

1569
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,160
I 100% agree. 
My podcast this morning was 

1570
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,400
called Post Constitutional 
America and for some reason 

1571
01:17:05,480 --> 01:17:07,520
we've allowed it to get to this 
point and I think a lot of us 

1572
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:08,880
had our heads down. 
We're trying to do something 

1573
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,160
else and we looked up and 
suddenly a lot of this country 

1574
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:14,560
is gone as as far as what you're
looking at, what, what are your 

1575
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,960
appeals look like? 
What is your your attorneys sort

1576
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,520
of ambitions going forward? 
And obviously you have to push 

1577
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:22,760
this thing. 
But is there, you know, are you 

1578
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,240
feeling OK about how that might 
look? 

1579
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,320
Are you have any hope going 
forward? 

1580
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,760
I do have hope, I just don't 
know what that hope consists of.

1581
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,760
We are going to appeal, but 
we're appealing to the same 

1582
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,120
justice system that put us in 
here in the 1st place. 

1583
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:41,640
I mean, I, I, I get it. 
I'm going to appeal. 

1584
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,840
It's a 5 1/2 month trial. 
So there's a lot to appeal. 

1585
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,440
A lot of things that happened 
that I feel that I didn't, I 

1586
01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:50,600
didn't agree with the judge. 
I respect the judge's opinion on

1587
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,280
a lot of things, but I just 
disagree with him wholeheartedly

1588
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,760
on some of those things. 
And the government, you know, 

1589
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,640
the government has been 
disgusting through this whole 

1590
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:02,040
process. 
You know, the, the, the things 

1591
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:06,040
that they've done is, is, is is 
unheard of, you know, trying to 

1592
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,520
put people in jail for decades 
for this is, is gone. 

1593
01:18:09,480 --> 01:18:11,920
My attorney is having a press 
conference tomorrow. 

1594
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,120
I don't know how to tell you 
guys how to get it out. 

1595
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:19,440
But Naive Hassan, he's having a 
press conference tomorrow as far

1596
01:18:19,440 --> 01:18:23,920
as my appeals go. 
And, you know, I'm just trying 

1597
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,720
to, I'm just trying to navigate,
you know, and I'm not, I'm not a

1598
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,400
type of person. 
I'm not going to ask for a 

1599
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,840
pardon if if President Trump 
comes back in, I'm not asking 

1600
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,440
him for a pardon. 
I'm asking him to take a look at

1601
01:18:36,440 --> 01:18:41,960
our case, take a look at our 
case and see if justice was 

1602
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:45,880
served. 
I guarantee you already know the

1603
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:47,320
answer. 
Well, I think a lot of people 

1604
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,200
have that same sense and they're
nauseated by it. 

1605
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,040
Like the producer and I were 
having the same conversation. 

1606
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,080
It's like, it's so disgusting. 
Like, where do you even begin? 

1607
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,480
How can people support what you 
guys are about? 

1608
01:18:55,480 --> 01:18:57,600
And I know we're going to run up
on the one minute warning here 

1609
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,040
in just a second. 
So like, what can people do to 

1610
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:01,880
from where they're at right now 
to help you out? 

1611
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:07,120
OK, so to help, I'm not asking 
for help for myself. 

1612
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:08,680
My family is the one that needs 
it. 

1613
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,840
The website is Tariel. 
Sam, you have one minute 

1614
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,960
remaining. 
Of course, of course it breaks 

1615
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,480
me off. 
It's Tario familyfunds.org. 

1616
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:24,720
That's TARRIO familyfund.org. 
If you guys can help us out, I 

1617
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,840
mean, you know, that'll go a 
long way. 

1618
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:28,280
I've never really asked for 
money. 

1619
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,400
This is my first time that my 
family is asked to help them out

1620
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:34,320
because they're they're 
struggling right now. 

1621
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,080
And that's the most important 
thing to me. 

1622
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:40,440
Family, you know, I'm, I'm, 
that's, that's the order of 

1623
01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:42,680
things. 
Patriotism and my country is not

1624
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:46,440
on my top priority list anymore.
I'm sorry to say that, but it's 

1625
01:19:46,480 --> 01:19:50,400
my God, my family and my tribe, 
and my tribe is the American 

1626
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,520
people. 
Yeah, the ones that still care 

1627
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:53,560
about what used to be there, 
right. 

1628
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:55,920
I really appreciate you spending
the time with us. 

1629
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,000
And and like I said, you're 
you're welcome to come back and 

1630
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,240
talk to us. 
Any message you want to share 

1631
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:00,440
here, you can always come back 
and talk. 

1632
01:20:00,440 --> 01:20:04,000
And I praying for you guys and 
share all those websites. 

1633
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,360
I don't want to get cut off by 
the by the buzzer here. 

1634
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:09,520
OK, Thank you. 
Thank you, Kyle. 

1635
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,040
Appreciate you. 
Thank you. 

1636
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:13,240
God bless you. 
You too ladies and gentlemen, 

1637
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,160
you have been listening to the 
Kyle Seraphin Show Streamed live

1638
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:20,440
every weekday at 0930 Eastern 
Time. 

1639
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:22,360
That's 8:30 here in Texas, 
America. 

1640
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,840
Streamed live from Liberty Hill,
TX, America. 

1641
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:30,400
A troubling picture of America 
men behind bars for seditious 

1642
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,280
conspiracy, probably the most 
absurd use of our justice system

1643
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:34,800
yet. 
And and that last one from 

1644
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,520
Enrique was probably the most 
troubling for me, a man who 

1645
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,360
wasn't even physically in DC on 
the time. 

1646
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,000
We will try to put out some 
information about that press 

1647
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,960
conference when I have it. 
You can watch my Twitter feed. 

1648
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,120
So follow me at Kyle Serafin and
I will get that out there. 

1649
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,560
We want to say thanks to all of 
the the folks in the live chat. 

1650

1655
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:09,160
0930 Eastern folks. 
We also really appreciate all of

1656
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,360
the the five star reviews. 
Here is another one, almost 700 

1657
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,880
right now on Apple. 
This one is written by Minnesota

1658
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,640
native MN says American Patriot 
five stars. 

1659
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,400
I first heard you when you were 
interviewed by Dan Bongino. 

1660
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,520
You talked about the chop zone 
in Minneapolis. 

1661
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,280
I'm from M and I'm from 
Minnesota and I had no idea that

1662
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,280
was going on. 
Your podcast is very refreshing 

1663
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,440
and informative. 
Keep up the amazing work. 

1664
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:34,600
Minnesota native. 
We're happy to bring you news 

1665
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,880
wherever we can and 
unfortunately it's not always 

1666
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,200
good news in this in this 
climate, but we will keep doing 

1667
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:40,160
it. 
I'm glad you're refreshed and 

1668

green.

01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,280
I know Eric Jason's in there 
riling you all up making sure

01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:21,080
that the the like is freed. 
Hit that that thumbs up and I 

1683
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:21,960
don't know, pray for this 
country. 

1684
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:23,240
Pray for these men. 
If you can help them out 

1685
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,080
financially, we will share all 
their gifts and goes in the show

1686
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:27,560
description so you can find all 
of them. 

1687
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,640
If you want to pick one that you
rotate through, I think that 

1688
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,120
would be a fantastic use of an 
extra 5 or 10 bucks. 

1689
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:33,920
These things really do stack up 
if there's a lot of you out 

1690
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,720
there and I've seen it with my 
own eyes that it can make a 

1691
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:38,480
really big difference in 
people's lives. 

1692
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:41,400
So we do appreciate it and I 
know I'm going to be giving to 

1693
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,280
them as well. 
I just, I feel like the 

1694
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,640
injustice is so strong. 
Pray for this country, pray for 

1695
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,520
each other, pray for these men 
and we'll see you again.
