1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Take a look behind the curtain 
with a real whistleblower, an 

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,440
American patriot. 
Prepare to embrace the 

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,880
uncomfortable truth, because 
this program has no time for 

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,320
comforting lies. 
Here is civil liberties 

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

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,900
agent Kyle Seraf. 
Hello, my friends. 

7
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:23,980
Welcome to the Kyle Seraphin 
Show. 

8
00:00:23,980 --> 00:00:25,540
It looks like I got a little 
something in my throat right 

9
00:00:25,540 --> 00:00:26,700
now. 
It is Wednesday, September the 

10
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,220
13th. 
Want to welcome you to a midweek

11
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:30,100
show? 
I think we're going to have a 

12
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:31,900
good time here. 
Got an excellent guest that we 

13
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:35,100
are going to ask some questions 
about coverage of January 6. 

14
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:38,320
I think there's a story in both 
the what's going on and what's 

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,720
happened with the defendants, 
but also in the process of 

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,440
covering it. 
I think people that have been 

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,720
involved in this have learned 
things along the way and they 

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,720
are starting to piece together 
more and more of it. 

19
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,720
But it is a an onion that has 
many, many layers. 

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,280
So stick around. 
We're going to be talking to Mel

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,000
Halle in just a moment here. 
I want to say thanks to our

53
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:07,020
right into this. 
Mel and I have been holding up,

00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:08,259
holding you guys up. 
We're doing some tech 

55

difficulties, Ryan and I 
troubleshooting, so we don't 

56
00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:11,340
have any other problems from 
before. 

57
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:13,420
So, Mel, welcome to the Kyle 
Seraphen Show. 

58
00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:16,340
First of all, tell me who you 
are, where you came from, and 

59
00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:18,180
then we'll get into why you 
started covering January 6th 

60
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:20,460
stuff. 
Okay, okay. 

61
00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:23,420
Great. 
Well, you know, I have I I'm a 

62
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:27,380
mom of eight, Catholic. 
That's why I'm a mom of eight. 

63
00:02:27,820 --> 00:02:33,940
And I was, you know, I was just 
a mom playing on Twitter like 

64
00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:38,860
three years ago and but I've 
always been, you know, always 

65
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:41,300
been patriots. 
I I did have a little bit of a 

66
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:46,820
following on Facebook and I I 
ended up working for a 

67
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:50,170
podcaster. 
And that we had a media team 

68
00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:53,970
that was going to go to the 
Capitol on January 6th. 

69
00:02:54,850 --> 00:02:58,850
And we were just going to, you 
know, send back her live stream 

70
00:02:59,290 --> 00:03:02,410
videos that we took and pictures
to this podcaster who was going 

71
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:08,050
to be live streaming it. 
And you know, I'll tell you, it 

72
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:13,170
was when I left the Capitol that
day and I was riding home and I 

73
00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:15,690
left about 3:00. 
So I wasn't there, you know? 

74
00:03:16,030 --> 00:03:19,590
Into the evening or anything but
it and it turned on the radio 

75
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:23,230
and and heard what they were 
saying and and I looked at my 

76
00:03:23,230 --> 00:03:25,510
friend that I wrote in with and 
I said this isn't what I just 

77
00:03:25,510 --> 00:03:31,710
experienced you know this is 
this is not okay and I had I had

78
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:38,790
only posted 11 personal picture 
to Facebook from my day and I 

79
00:03:38,790 --> 00:03:41,230
went on Facebook and I said I'm 
going to go take that picture 

80
00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:45,110
down because something's just 
not right here and. 

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160
You know, so I so I had a big 
interest in it. 

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,720
I was following any stories I 
heard about people being 

83
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840
arrested. 
I was hearing about I I live in 

84
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,240
Virginia and I was hearing about
people being arrested here in 

85
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Virginia and being raided. 
You know, their children being 

86
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,040
taken out 5:00 in the morning in
pajamas and freezing cold 

87
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,080
weather. 
And you know I just started 

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,920
following this and and and 
started found my way into the 

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,120
community through other January 
6th defendants. 

90
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:23,220
And then come September of 2021,
I I had a couple of agents show 

91
00:04:23,220 --> 00:04:28,420
up at my house and they they 
questioned me for about 30 

92
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:31,500
minutes and something just 
didn't seem right about it 

93
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:32,780
either. 
I wasn't even sure that they 

94
00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:35,900
were actually federal agents. 
They they showed me badges. 

95
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:41,980
What do? 
The badges look like well, they 

96
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:44,890
were, they were. 
You know, if I remember 

97
00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:47,610
correctly, they were, they were 
just metal badges inside of some

98
00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:51,930
kind of you know, leather or 
plastic or whatever. 

99
00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:56,570
I I don't remember that well. 
I wasn't really thinking about 

100
00:04:56,570 --> 00:04:58,970
it at the time. 
Were they very small badges? 

101
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:07,210
No, they were not really small 
and anyway so they they, you 

102
00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:09,890
know, they were attractive 30 
something couple. 

103
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:14,300
But she had a pierced nose and 
and he had a a beard. 

104
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:17,660
And I thought, I didn't think 
federal agents were allowed to 

105
00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:19,820
to look like that. 
I thought they, you know, had 

106
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:23,180
some pretty strict rules about 
what they had to look like. 

107
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:26,060
And so when when they were 
getting ready to leave I said 

108
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:29,820
you know, do you have a card? 
And they said no, no, we we 

109
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:31,100
don't carry cards. 
It's not safe. 

110
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:34,660
They said you can see our badges
again and and actually when they

111
00:05:34,660 --> 00:05:37,280
first got there. 
I I said the first thing I said 

112
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:39,760
was I was there as media do you 
want to see my media badge? 

113
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,240
And they said yes. 
I went and got it. 

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,880
They took pictures but they they
pulled out their badge again or 

115
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,400
he did and and said you you can 
see our badges. 

116
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,840
I said can I take a picture? 
And I said no and put it away. 

117
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,240
And then they said you can call 
the Washington field office to 

118
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,200
verify and our names are are 
Jason and Olivia. 

119
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,400
And I'm thinking, wait, your 
first name is supposed to be 

120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,500
special agent? 
But why are you giving me first 

121
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:06,980
names? 
This is insane. 

122
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:10,860
So you know they they said is it
okay you know if we contact you 

123
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:15,700
again I said a guess. 
And so I, you know I immediately

124
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:22,420
got a got an attorney involved 
and both the attorney and I 

125
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:27,900
called this field office and and
were laughed at for for 

126
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,780
suggesting that they could 
verify that agents were at my 

127
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:34,700
house by giving first names. 
And that's when we kind of 

128
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:37,100
started putting together, you 
know, they're they're pulling 

129
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:41,140
agents off of everything. 
It's it's very possible that 

130
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:45,900
these were undercover agents and
that's why they're used to just 

131
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,620
giving their first name and 
that's why she had a pierced 

132
00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:52,420
nose and and he had a beard. 
And you know, I mean, does that 

133
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:55,380
sound feasible to you, Kyle, 
that that's what that was? 

134
00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:58,140
Not really. 
It sounds like they were just 

135
00:06:58,140 --> 00:06:59,500
FBI agents. 
They don't know how to talk to 

136
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:01,580
people, which we keep seeing. 
I actually just shared something

137
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:04,340
on Twitter this morning. 
You know, people that are out of

138
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:08,660
shape, people that are slovenly 
dressed, people that are don't 

139
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:09,980
know how to deal with the 
public, don't know how to 

140
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:12,540
identify themselves, think that 
it's scary or that they are 

141
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:13,820
secret agents or something like 
that. 

142
00:07:13,820 --> 00:07:15,380
I used to joke. 
I used to work at the Washington

143
00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:16,420
field office. 
I was there five years. 

144
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:18,140
I probably can find out who 
Jason, Olivia are. 

145
00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:19,620
That's probably like 3 phone 
calls for me. 

146
00:07:19,780 --> 00:07:22,540
So I'll. 
I'll I do have their. 

147
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:25,020
I do have their full names now 
because they came back two 

148
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:29,450
months later, and when they came
back, I don't want to cut you 

149
00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:30,450
off. 
I just want you to understand 

150
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:33,410
that that FBI agents, the 
assumption is that you're going 

151
00:07:33,410 --> 00:07:34,490
to see somebody in a suit and a 
tie. 

152
00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:35,530
They're going to come knock on 
your door. 

153
00:07:35,530 --> 00:07:37,490
They're going to present 
credentials the way Fox Mulder 

154
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:39,810
and and Dana Scully used to on 
The X-Files. 

155
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:41,610
And they're going to have a 
conversation with you that is 

156
00:07:41,610 --> 00:07:45,050
going to be intelligent people 
asking intelligent questions and

157
00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:46,770
what we have now. 
And I hate to use the term, but 

158
00:07:46,770 --> 00:07:48,410
they're, they're kind of like 
social retards. 

159
00:07:48,730 --> 00:07:50,970
I had so many new agents come 
out of the field that had never 

160
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,650
knocked on a door before and 
talk to a stranger. 

161
00:07:52,970 --> 00:07:56,060
And so you're much better off 
having a background in sales and

162
00:07:56,060 --> 00:07:58,900
and corporate sales then you are
having a background and whatever

163
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:00,100
it is that they're hiring people
into. 

164
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:01,820
And there's a lot of these 
people that just they're act, 

165
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:03,860
they act weird. 
They literally have a rule at 

166
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:05,700
the Academy. 
Don't, don't be weird. 

167
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:07,700
That's what they try to tell 
people when they teach them how 

168
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:09,820
to talk. 
And you obviously experience the

169
00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:11,740
opposite, that the idea that a 
female would have a nose 

170
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:14,700
piercing is not crazy. 
I obviously have a beard just 

171
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:16,660
for your awareness and I'm going
to let you just run wild for a 

172
00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:19,700
second here. 
But my my first sort of mentor 

173
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:21,740
within my squad told me that I 
need to grow a beard because 

174
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:24,420
it's the it's the last FU to 
management that they can't make 

175
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:27,380
a stop. 
So that's why that's why I grew 

176
00:08:27,380 --> 00:08:28,820
a beard and I've grown a beard 
ever since. 

177
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:31,740
And anyway, it's it's not the 
FBI that you think it is, though

178
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:33,659
and I think that's really, I 
think it's that's really 

179
00:08:33,659 --> 00:08:36,220
important part of your story 
because it's not what you expect

180
00:08:36,220 --> 00:08:39,260
and it's very weird. 
Yeah, it was just, it was 

181
00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:41,179
bizarre. 
It really was, and I can only 

182
00:08:41,179 --> 00:08:42,620
imagine being on the other end 
of it too. 

183
00:08:43,780 --> 00:08:46,180
Yeah, yeah. 
I mean, it was crazy. 

184
00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:50,100
So when they came back, I said 
you can talk to my attorney and 

185
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:51,340
they said what? 
What? 

186
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:53,660
What? 
You said we could come back. 

187
00:08:53,660 --> 00:08:58,340
And I said things have changed. 
And so after that, I I did only 

188
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:01,860
converse with them through my 
attorney and they they wanted to

189
00:09:01,940 --> 00:09:04,020
know if they could interview me.
I said sure, why not? 

190
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:09,460
And so I sat down with them at 
the the FBI office in in 

191
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:13,420
Manassas, VA, and, you know, had
a little conversation there. 

192
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,580
It was, it was interesting you 
had to go through a little 

193
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:18,420
security office there. 
I don't know if you've been to 

194
00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:22,180
that office, Kyle, but did you 
okay? 

195
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:25,130
So there's a little outside. 
Security building that you have 

196
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:29,410
to go through to to get in and 
at the time they were you know 

197
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:33,050
they were requiring masking so I
had a I had a a mask that was 

198
00:09:33,050 --> 00:09:36,690
the American flag and and so I 
you know I asked on upside down 

199
00:09:36,690 --> 00:09:40,850
and and the this the Screener 
out there he he looked at me as 

200
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:42,930
we went through security and he 
said your mask is on upside 

201
00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:45,250
down. 
I said, yeah, I know, you said 

202
00:09:45,530 --> 00:09:46,690
our country is in duress right 
now. 

203
00:09:46,690 --> 00:09:49,810
It's under duress. 
That's that's intentional. 

204
00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:53,210
Was the Screener an Indian man? 
They have a like a bunch of 

205
00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:54,930
contractors. 
Those aren't FBI employees from 

206
00:09:54,930 --> 00:09:58,370
what I remember. 
No, it was a it was a black man.

207
00:09:59,970 --> 00:10:01,330
Yeah. 
They had a couple of people that

208
00:10:01,330 --> 00:10:03,010
were working that that didn't 
speak English as the first 

209
00:10:03,010 --> 00:10:04,050
language. 
I always thought that was really

210
00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:05,450
fun. 
I was like, I'm glad. 

211
00:10:05,450 --> 00:10:06,970
They're keeping. 
They're keeping us safe. 

212
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:13,410
Yes, contract company Wackanhut 
or something Okay. 

213
00:10:13,410 --> 00:10:15,930
So you went into the the field 
office or this is that's called 

214
00:10:15,930 --> 00:10:18,050
the resident agency out in 
Manassas that's part of the 

215
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:19,330
Washington field, you probably 
know that. 

216
00:10:20,130 --> 00:10:22,450
And so you sat down you went 
through the the visitor entrance

217
00:10:22,450 --> 00:10:24,930
is what we call that side as you
drive in on the and then drive 

218
00:10:24,930 --> 00:10:27,130
into the right and pull in 
through that little out there 

219
00:10:27,130 --> 00:10:29,050
and walk in through the visitor 
and they screen you and do the 

220
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:30,810
the metal detector and all that 
kind of thing. 

221
00:10:31,010 --> 00:10:32,810
So then somebody came and met 
you there and walked you into 

222
00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:36,410
the building. 
Yeah they they these these two 

223
00:10:36,410 --> 00:10:40,370
agents did and they they met my 
attorney and myself and and we 

224
00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:42,170
walked in and went to some 
little. 

225
00:10:42,890 --> 00:10:46,450
You know interview room there on
the 1st floor and and you know 

226
00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:48,850
this was after 4:00 in the 
afternoon so this was kind of 

227
00:10:48,850 --> 00:10:51,770
you know after hours people had 
gone home, you know so it's 

228
00:10:51,770 --> 00:10:58,090
pretty quiet in there and you 
know they made it pretty clear 

229
00:10:58,090 --> 00:11:00,930
that they that they were not 
going to charge me that just the

230
00:11:00,930 --> 00:11:06,210
way they they acted you know 
they they were very they said 

231
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:08,450
you know you can leave at any 
time. 

232
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,560
You know they were just 
different things that they that 

233
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,800
they said and and so they 
interviewed me. 

234
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,640
They asked me about my my, my 
day there and and their their 

235
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:26,080
focus was where who was planning
this, who was coordinating this.

236
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,160
You know they they went on and 
on about that and I was just 

237
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120
going what we're just a bunch of
patriots going to you know use 

238
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,480
our free speech you know. 
And so, you know, at the end of 

239
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,610
it, they they did ask me. 
If they could have my my video 

240
00:11:42,690 --> 00:11:46,930
coverage from that day and you 
know I said sure, you know they 

241
00:11:46,970 --> 00:11:50,250
they've got it all anyway. 
I mean you know I'm not it's all

242
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:53,770
been published. 
It's all out there. 

243
00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:58,650
And they they they said is there
anything incriminating? 

244
00:11:58,690 --> 00:12:01,010
And my attorney said, well I've 
watched it twice and unless 

245
00:12:01,010 --> 00:12:04,370
you're going to try to arrest 
the you know 200 people who who 

246
00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:09,080
breached the the. 
The bike racks at the bottom of 

247
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,360
the scaffolding there and a 
little did we know that yes 

248
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,240
indeed they would like to arrest
the 200 people that breached 

249
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,640
that. 
Was that shocking when you 

250
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,640
started finding that out? 
When I found what out that they 

251
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,440
were gonna go after the people 
on the bike racks. 

252
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,880
Right. 
I mean, yeah, I mean, cuz they 

253
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,200
keep telling us we're still 
going after 1500 more. 

254
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:34,710
And and I said you know I I 
there is some incriminating 

255
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:37,030
stuff in there. 
I said I've got video of the the

256
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:40,350
police officers opening the 
scaffolding door talking to us 

257
00:12:40,350 --> 00:12:42,470
and letting us all in. 
You know that's that's 

258
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:47,750
incriminating you want that. 
So you know they they've never 

259
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:51,990
they've never gone into charge 
me thankfully but you know I I 

260
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:55,830
feel their presence I I you know
I know they're listening to me 

261
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:59,310
and and in fact my my interviews
I've I've interviewed. 

262
00:13:00,670 --> 00:13:04,350
Since then you know I've gone on
to cover as a as a podcaster my 

263
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:10,990
my whole focus has been January 
6th completely for the past year

264
00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:15,270
and before that I was, you know 
it was mostly January 6th. 

265
00:13:16,070 --> 00:13:20,870
So you know I've I, I've gotten 
to know a lot of these people. 

266
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,590
A lot of these families. 
And and it it's pretty much been

267
00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:29,670
my whole life, to be honest 
because you know I want to dig 

268
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:31,310
into that and I want to 
understand a little bit more 

269
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:32,950
about that. 
So I put my toe in the water 

270
00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:35,390
because somebody asked me if I 
would interview the the five 

271
00:13:35,390 --> 00:13:36,470
Proud Boys who were just 
sentenced. 

272
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:37,630
And if the answers of course, 
yes. 

273
00:13:37,630 --> 00:13:39,790
I'm happy to take that phone 
call and do that interview and 

274
00:13:39,790 --> 00:13:42,270
we did. 
And the amount of online hate 

275
00:13:42,270 --> 00:13:44,270
and vitriol that's happened 
particularly on Twitter, that's 

276
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:46,590
the biggest place for it. 
But also even on true social, 

277
00:13:46,950 --> 00:13:48,550
which is the 2 platforms I use 
the most. 

278
00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:50,990
It's it's pretty astounding 
actually. 

279
00:13:51,190 --> 00:13:54,830
And it's it's kind of, it's kind
of disgusting that the America 

280
00:13:54,830 --> 00:13:56,870
has got to the point where 
people are so mad about 

281
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:57,870
something that didn't affect 
them. 

282
00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:00,900
What do you think the the 
emotional trigger is for people 

283
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:05,500
that are mad about, mad at and 
about the J6 defendants? 

284
00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:10,060
Donald Trump, it's it's it's 
connection to Donald Trump. 

285
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:14,500
It's just that irrationality. 
Yeah, yeah, I really think it 

286
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,620
is. 
It's it's the the Trump 

287
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:19,420
Derangement Syndrome and it and 
it carries over into anything 

288
00:14:19,420 --> 00:14:21,740
that the media tells them is 
connected to Donald Trump. 

289
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:28,020
How how do people get so crazy 
about Donald Trump? 

290
00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:31,140
You've been you've been watching
this the same way I did. 

291
00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:33,620
Did you have any sense that, 
like when he even when he was 

292
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:35,900
running, could you have ever 
imagined how mad people would be

293
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:39,860
about this guy? 
No no I couldn't and and it's 

294
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:44,700
just it's it's fed by the media 
I mean you know they they're 

295
00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:47,420
they don't like their feelers 
getting hurt and and he says 

296
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:50,530
mean things and. 
And they're told that he's a 

297
00:14:50,570 --> 00:14:53,730
really, really bad guy. 
And they eat it up, They believe

298
00:14:53,730 --> 00:14:54,850
it. 
They wanna have some anger 

299
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:57,050
somewhere, so that's where they 
direct it. 

300
00:14:57,130 --> 00:15:01,530
And then we're the maggots and 
they gotta go after us as well. 

301
00:15:01,530 --> 00:15:05,730
And it's just it's so hard to 
watch, Yeah. 

302
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:09,450
How do you deal with that? 
I tried it. 

303
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:13,890
I tried to just ignore it once 
in a while, I get sucked in and 

304
00:15:14,650 --> 00:15:17,590
I actually. 
Start conversing with these 

305
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:19,630
people online. 
Then I'm like, what am I doing? 

306
00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:24,950
There's no reason for this. 
This is just it's pointless and 

307
00:15:24,950 --> 00:15:27,070
it does nothing. 
It does nothing to move anything

308
00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:29,870
forward in the right direction. 
It's certainly not productive 

309
00:15:29,870 --> 00:15:32,550
conversation. 
It is monetized engagement in my

310
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:33,830
case. 
So I just sort of mute them and 

311
00:15:33,830 --> 00:15:35,670
let them tire themselves out, I 
guess. 

312
00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:41,500
But it's really wild how just 
vile people will be. 

313
00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:42,540
There's a guy out there right 
now. 

314
00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:44,980
This is kind of unrelated, but 
it's fun for conversation. 

315
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,620
That is accusing me. 
And I put accusing in air 

316
00:15:47,620 --> 00:15:49,220
quotes. 
He's accusing me of being a 

317
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:51,060
trucker. 
I don't. 

318
00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:52,340
I don't know what the allegation
means. 

319
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,420
Like, I don't know why that's an
allegation for anybody but he 

320
00:15:55,420 --> 00:15:57,820
accused me of being a trucker 
and being sad. 

321
00:15:58,220 --> 00:16:00,420
And I was like, yeah, it'd be 
cool if you could do it like a 

322
00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:02,020
podcast from a truck. 
I would do that. 

323
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:04,460
That would be really fun. 
But I do a podcast from a 

324
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:06,580
hardwired location with a studio
every day. 

325
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:08,100
I don't know what you're talking
about. 

326
00:16:08,940 --> 00:16:11,540
It's it's it's so strange. 
But they just get out there in 

327
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:12,700
the world. 
They they've created these 

328
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:16,060
fantasy, you know, threats and 
you're one of them and I'm one 

329
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:17,020
of them. 
And then they they get really 

330
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:19,300
mad about it's so strange it's 
it's just a weird time to be 

331
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:21,460
alive. 
Let's talk about as you've 

332
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:24,820
started digging into this this 
animal of January 6 as you and 

333
00:16:24,820 --> 00:16:28,180
and our our mutual friend Sean. 
I think we're, I think you're, 

334
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:32,660
you know, Sean, he, he said. 
You've interviewed more J Sixers

335
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:34,820
than anybody except the FBI. 
Does that sound true? 

336
00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:40,300
That that is true, I believe so.
And maybe more than the FBI, 

337
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:41,980
because the FBI doesn't 
interview some people. 

338
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:43,420
They just knocked down their 
door at 6:00 AM. 

339
00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:49,700
Yes I I I agree I you know it's 
funny and and and continuing 

340
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:53,260
actually in the in the line of 
of the trolls I I have these 

341
00:16:53,260 --> 00:16:56,500
people tell me that that I don't
know what I'm talking about and 

342
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:59,150
that they know. 
What January 6 really was about 

343
00:16:59,470 --> 00:17:03,110
and and even when I say you know
have you have you looked at my 

344
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:07,990
profile do you do you realize 
that you know this is this is my

345
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:12,310
my line of expertise you know 
and not only from you know first

346
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:15,869
from being there myself but but 
from you know interviewing all 

347
00:17:15,869 --> 00:17:19,589
of these people and watching all
of this video and you know just 

348
00:17:19,589 --> 00:17:21,790
being connected to all the 
different people who are on the 

349
00:17:21,790 --> 00:17:23,190
front lines fighting for this 
and. 

350
00:17:23,619 --> 00:17:26,060
And then and then they still 
think that that I don't know 

351
00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:28,540
what I'm talking about. 
So then I just move along. 

352
00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:31,740
But it's it's kind of crazy. 
It really is. 

353
00:17:32,060 --> 00:17:34,580
There's a so do you remember the
concept of the Gnostics? 

354
00:17:34,780 --> 00:17:38,140
You know, they were like a 
Christian sort of heretical sect

355
00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:41,620
early on in in the the church. 
They they had secret knowledge 

356
00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:43,060
that was sort of the the 
hallmark of it. 

357
00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:45,460
There's a lot of Gnostics out 
there about January 6th. 

358
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:47,980
They know more than you do, and 
they can't tell you why. 

359
00:17:49,660 --> 00:17:52,140
No, no, they they can't. 
But but they know, but they know

360
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:56,300
that you're wrong. 
The the media told them and and 

361
00:17:57,340 --> 00:17:59,140
they've got the secret, the 
secret CNN. 

362
00:17:59,340 --> 00:18:01,740
Pass. 
Yes, yes. 

363
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:07,460
And and there's a, there is a 
video montage that the the 

364
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:10,820
government introduces this 
evidence into every single one 

365
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:14,740
of these cases. 
And it's just all of the 

366
00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:17,860
violence on the West side of the
Capitol. 

367
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:21,300
So even if people were on the 
east side. 

368
00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:23,310
They were at the Columbus doors 
the whole time. 

369
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:24,590
They never even went on the West
side. 

370
00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:28,190
The government still enters this
video montage of all the 

371
00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:31,230
violence on the West side of the
Capitol and every single one of 

372
00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:34,590
these trials and you know it's 
it's just despicable. 

373
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:39,670
But I think that that video is 
probably what they what they 

374
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:43,830
took and and gave to all the 
mainstream media on on January 

375
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:49,910
6th and that they continued to 
to show on on loop, you know on.

376
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:55,050
On all of these, on all of these
channels for weeks and and still

377
00:18:55,050 --> 00:18:57,010
if they need to go to it, 
they'll go to it. 

378
00:18:57,010 --> 00:19:01,130
But yeah, it it's crazy. 
It really is. 

379
00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:03,570
For me, what's been really 
shocking is seeing the 

380
00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:06,370
difference between what happened
in DC and Portland and 

381
00:19:06,370 --> 00:19:07,810
Minneapolis and many of the 
other cities. 

382
00:19:07,810 --> 00:19:10,810
Dallas had some, I know Los 
Angeles had riots over George 

383
00:19:10,810 --> 00:19:12,930
Floyd, and some of them I was 
in, and some of them I just saw 

384
00:19:12,930 --> 00:19:15,250
on TV. 
But they were hundreds of angles

385
00:19:15,250 --> 00:19:17,850
and, you know, thousands of 
random different people in it. 

386
00:19:18,410 --> 00:19:20,570
And then they the fixation was 
never that. 

387
00:19:20,570 --> 00:19:24,330
It was always the 2-3 hours that
was rowdy outside the Capitol 

388
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:26,050
where things, you know, it 
sounded like they got pretty 

389
00:19:26,050 --> 00:19:29,810
hairy. 
But it wasn't for half the year.

390
00:19:29,810 --> 00:19:33,290
I don't know. 
It just yeah. 

391
00:19:33,370 --> 00:19:37,770
And and I mean you know I might 
go to is is just the the media 

392
00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:42,370
coverage of of the what went 
down in DC with the White House 

393
00:19:42,410 --> 00:19:44,330
and all the burning that was 
going on. 

394
00:19:44,330 --> 00:19:48,260
I mean that that was wild. 
So we don't hear anything about 

395
00:19:48,260 --> 00:19:49,820
that. 
So you're in the Virginia area 

396
00:19:49,820 --> 00:19:51,540
that that would have been local 
news for you, right? 

397
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:55,540
Pretty much. 
What do you, what do you 

398
00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:57,860
remember hearing about that 
going through in the summer of 

399
00:19:57,860 --> 00:20:05,140
2000, of 2020? 
You know I'm not I'm an hour 

400
00:20:05,140 --> 00:20:09,180
from from DC so it's not 
extremely local but I was living

401
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:14,100
in Manassas at the time and 
there was there was some riots 

402
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,170
going on that they came to 
Manassas and and they were not 

403
00:20:17,170 --> 00:20:20,650
far from from where I lived and 
and that was that was pretty 

404
00:20:20,650 --> 00:20:25,130
scary actually that they brought
it there and and they have you 

405
00:20:25,130 --> 00:20:28,050
know and that's it's very 
political they have really tried

406
00:20:28,050 --> 00:20:33,690
hard to to turn Prince William 
County and Manassas blue and and

407
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:38,250
it happened quickly They there 
were literally billboards. 

408
00:20:38,690 --> 00:20:43,290
151015 years ago down in Mexico 
there were literally billboards 

409
00:20:43,290 --> 00:20:46,100
that said come to Manassas and 
they were. 

410
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:49,300
They were trying to bring as 
many into Manassas as they could

411
00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:52,220
it. 
It got so bad that they had to 

412
00:20:52,220 --> 00:20:57,860
try to change the zoning. 
They had houses that were being 

413
00:20:57,980 --> 00:21:01,570
rented out room by room to to 
families. 

414
00:21:01,570 --> 00:21:04,890
I I knew people who had their 
own children. 

415
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:07,770
I mean they were not they were 
not friends, but they you know, 

416
00:21:07,770 --> 00:21:10,610
they lived in the neighborhood 
and and my kids knew their kids 

417
00:21:10,610 --> 00:21:13,730
who these kids didn't even have 
a bedroom of their own because 

418
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:17,290
their families were renting 
these rooms out to make money to

419
00:21:17,290 --> 00:21:20,970
all of these Hispanic families 
that had come in across the 

420
00:21:20,970 --> 00:21:23,810
border. 
So you know they they ended up 

421
00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:28,160
being successful and pretty much
turning Manassas blue which is 

422
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,120
pretty crazy because Manassas is
a it's a got a huge Catholic 

423
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:36,880
conservative Catholic population
that lives there. 

424
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Very devout Catholics and and 
and to be able to to bring in 

425
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,840
all of this. 
I don't know just a a wave of 

426
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,880
Democrats basically to to change
the politics there. 

427
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,430
It's it's it's really 
unbelievable that this can 

428
00:21:56,430 --> 00:21:58,670
happen so quickly, but it but it
did so. 

429
00:21:59,190 --> 00:22:01,870
I did a lot of surveillance 
cases in Woodbridge, I did a lot

430
00:22:01,870 --> 00:22:04,390
of them in Manassas. 
We were all in and around that 

431
00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:08,150
area. 
There's a lot of PW County that 

432
00:22:08,150 --> 00:22:11,270
we are we are dealing with. 
So pretty, pretty pretty 

433
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:13,470
familiar stomping grounds for me
and and they definitely did 

434
00:22:13,470 --> 00:22:14,870
that. 
There was a lot of MS-13, 

435
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:16,550
there's a lot of fentanyl and 
all these kind of things that 

436
00:22:16,550 --> 00:22:18,670
were going on from the time that
I started doing that. 

437
00:22:19,710 --> 00:22:23,110
Very bizarre and and once again 
contrasted with what happened on

438
00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:26,530
January 6th, as you know. 
The threat to our democracy, 

439
00:22:26,530 --> 00:22:31,210
which I cannot handle, the the, 
the democracy over and over 

440
00:22:31,210 --> 00:22:35,130
again, it's just it's so hard. 
It is, it's hard. 

441
00:22:35,730 --> 00:22:38,090
It's really hard to hear. 
Okay, so as you've been covering

442
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:42,450
January 6th, are there different
baskets of types of people that 

443
00:22:42,450 --> 00:22:44,370
are that are involved in this? 
Are there different kinds of 

444
00:22:44,370 --> 00:22:47,970
human beings that were wrapped 
up in the the FBI arrests and 

445
00:22:47,970 --> 00:22:49,330
and and the sort of the Google 
treatment? 

446
00:22:50,770 --> 00:22:54,340
Absolutely, absolutely. 
And I'll tell you, you know, I, 

447
00:22:54,340 --> 00:23:00,340
I went in this just with the 
with the whole feeling of, oh, 

448
00:23:00,340 --> 00:23:03,300
you know, all of these people 
are are innocent victims. 

449
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:06,660
And then this is so terrible. 
I can't believe this is 

450
00:23:06,660 --> 00:23:10,300
happening. 
And you know it's it's actually 

451
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:14,100
a really good thing that we have
this, this January 6th community

452
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:16,780
where we've got all of these 
different peoples and all all 

453
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:18,900
of, I mean all these different 
organizations, all of these 

454
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:24,130
different family members, just 
people that are advocating and 

455
00:23:24,130 --> 00:23:29,770
and working on the front lines 
to really get a better feel for 

456
00:23:29,770 --> 00:23:33,810
for what's going on. 
And so you you brought up the, 

457
00:23:33,850 --> 00:23:40,890
the article I did about Ryan 
Samsa and you know that that was

458
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:42,930
a really hard, that was a really
tough one because I've been 

459
00:23:42,930 --> 00:23:45,450
advocating for this guy for a 
year and a half. 

460
00:23:46,170 --> 00:23:49,720
And you know, he, he had a 
pretty big story. 

461
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:57,280
He started off in the the DC 
gulag, the DC jail and you know 

462
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,520
suffered some pretty severe 
injuries apparently at the hands

463
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:07,120
of the guards there. 
And they moved him out and then 

464
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:13,280
he ended up in in well, I can't 
remember if he went directly to 

465
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,270
Northern Neck Regional Jail 
which is in Warsaw, VA or if he 

466
00:24:18,270 --> 00:24:21,830
went anywhere else before he got
there. 

467
00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:27,790
But he supposedly was strapped 
into a chair there and and 

468
00:24:27,790 --> 00:24:33,470
viciously beaten a couple of 
times there as well and and then

469
00:24:33,630 --> 00:24:38,950
they they moved him to Philly 
and it's when she was in Philly 

470
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:44,350
is where I ended up hearing 
about him through a letter that 

471
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:52,180
a woman who is a, she's a widow 
farmer in Kansas. 

472
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:57,820
How did she connect to that? 
She was writing to all of these 

473
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,420
people. 
Is this the Patriot Mail Project

474
00:25:00,420 --> 00:25:02,860
or something to that effect? 
That was, yeah. 

475
00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:07,060
So Patriot Mail Project connects
people so that they can write 

476
00:25:07,060 --> 00:25:08,900
letters to all of the 
defendants. 

477
00:25:09,460 --> 00:25:14,900
And he received a letter from 
Ryan and she got in touch with 

478
00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:20,780
us and and I eventually ended up
getting in touch with Ryan and 

479
00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:23,620
and I've been advocating for him
for for about the past year and 

480
00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:29,060
a half putting out his his 
Gibson go getting people as he 

481
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:32,500
requested to write to his judge 
and and request this medical 

482
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:35,500
attention that that he says he 
needs desperately that he's not 

483
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:42,830
getting. 
And so we've learned a lot about

484
00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:46,150
prisons through this too. 
So if these guys when they're 

485
00:25:46,150 --> 00:25:48,990
when they're not in the DC jail 
when they're in you know Bureau 

486
00:25:48,990 --> 00:25:52,310
of Prisons jails other and and 
other locations. 

487
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:56,510
You know they they're just part 
of the general population there.

488
00:25:56,950 --> 00:26:02,670
And one of the things that is a 
is a little a racket. 

489
00:26:02,670 --> 00:26:04,710
You know, I mean, we're all 
aware of, you know, the drugs 

490
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:08,270
being sold and all that sort of 
thing, but but cell phones are a

491
00:26:08,270 --> 00:26:12,250
thing too. 
So I started getting phone calls

492
00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:18,690
and texts from from different 
phone numbers claiming to be 

493
00:26:18,690 --> 00:26:22,330
Ryan and and actually coming to 
be a couple of the other inmates

494
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:24,090
too. 
And and I was like, what in the 

495
00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:26,810
world is going on? 
What in the world is going on? 

496
00:26:27,970 --> 00:26:34,970
Yeah so they they can get these 
cell phones and and and having 

497
00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:37,450
talked to some of the other guys
you know that I've been told 

498
00:26:38,890 --> 00:26:42,980
that they sometimes they are 
brought in by drones and drops 

499
00:26:43,780 --> 00:26:47,420
into the yard. 
Apparently there's big money in 

500
00:26:47,420 --> 00:26:49,300
that. 
You know you can get like 15 

501
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:54,940
grand for for flying in you know
a bunch of phones and drugs 

502
00:26:55,020 --> 00:27:00,580
whatever to these prisons and it
costs about two grands to get 

503
00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:04,700
yourself a phone. 
But then of course, if your your

504
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,940
cell gets turned over by the 
guards, they're they're going to

505
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:10,730
take that $2000 phone, so that's
never good for them. 

506
00:27:11,010 --> 00:27:14,450
Operational risk, but that's 
right, operational risk. 

507
00:27:14,450 --> 00:27:18,450
But you can also just rent these
phones by the hour. 

508
00:27:19,130 --> 00:27:21,010
So that's what a lot of these 
guys do. 

509
00:27:21,210 --> 00:27:25,250
And they would. 
I'd have them telling me, well, 

510
00:27:25,250 --> 00:27:28,370
I get the phone every day at 
2:00, so I can call you at 2:00 

511
00:27:28,370 --> 00:27:31,170
and. 
They're calling from their 

512
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:35,570
cells, they're calling from 
their cells and their cell 

513
00:27:35,570 --> 00:27:39,360
phones. 
And yeah, it's just, it's a 

514
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,680
racket inside. 
This is this is what they do. 

515
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,280
What do you, what do you, what 
do you think about that? 

516
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,200
Like, it obviously gives you 
access to prisoners, which we 

517
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,760
wouldn't have otherwise. 
There's something interesting 

518
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,520
about that. 
How do you, how do you square 

519
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,320
all this kind of stuff? 
Because it's against policy for 

520
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,720
sure. 
It might be against, it might be

521
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,480
against the federal law. 
Now that I think about it, I 

522
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,480
haven't looked at the law, but I
know there's certain things that

523
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,360
are listed as contraband. 
I know the drugs part are and 

524
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:05,760
there's some other things that 
are contraband. 

525
00:28:07,730 --> 00:28:10,850
Yeah, I don't know. 
You know, it's it's it's been 

526
00:28:10,850 --> 00:28:14,250
great to be able to get these 
interviews and to to get more 

527
00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:15,890
information and you know, and 
then these. 

528
00:28:15,890 --> 00:28:18,850
But then these guys, they have 
access to, to the Internet, 

529
00:28:18,850 --> 00:28:22,490
which they normally don't, which
is, which can be pretty scary 

530
00:28:23,290 --> 00:28:26,090
because they could be doing a 
lot of nefarious things. 

531
00:28:30,610 --> 00:28:35,010
I mean, yes, I don't know. 
I mean there's there's so much 

532
00:28:35,290 --> 00:28:37,210
that they could do. 
I don't even know because I, I 

533
00:28:37,210 --> 00:28:40,730
don't live that kind of that 
kind of lifestyle. 

534
00:28:41,170 --> 00:28:48,530
But you know, they could be, you
know, creating roles. 

535
00:28:48,530 --> 00:28:51,210
They could be becoming people 
online. 

536
00:28:51,210 --> 00:28:54,490
They, you know, I don't know, 
they could do a lot of things. 

537
00:28:55,890 --> 00:28:58,130
They could generate social media
we're talking about. 

538
00:28:58,130 --> 00:29:00,690
They could be creating 
campaigns. 

539
00:29:00,690 --> 00:29:03,770
They could be running 
disinformation or positive 

540
00:29:03,770 --> 00:29:05,810
information about their case or 
something like that. 

541
00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:10,250
So there's, I mean it's they 
could harassing people that 

542
00:29:10,250 --> 00:29:12,410
they're not allowed to be in 
touch with. 

543
00:29:14,010 --> 00:29:15,530
I mean, there's just so many 
things. 

544
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:18,460
Yeah those are I I mean we'd 
have to spend probably a whole 

545
00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:20,740
day sitting there and and 
scheming out on the on the pros 

546
00:29:20,740 --> 00:29:23,020
and cons list like you say that 
the Pro is you get to hear some 

547
00:29:23,300 --> 00:29:25,780
some direct first hand sourcing 
which is not always the case and

548
00:29:25,780 --> 00:29:27,020
you don't have to go to the 
prison to do it. 

549
00:29:27,020 --> 00:29:29,900
So that's great. 
But hey I I wonder what you're 

550
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,380
involved in with that okay. 
So the basket, some of these 

551
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:35,220
people are obviously less 
reputable in in the the J6 

552
00:29:35,220 --> 00:29:36,500
defending group. 
We're starting to see some of 

553
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:37,980
that. 
When did you serve first? 

554
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:40,500
Become aware of that Okay. 
So. 

555
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:42,660
So you know, I started. 
There were some things along the

556
00:29:42,660 --> 00:29:47,200
way that I thought, you know, 
I'm not so sure this is 100%, 

557
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,720
but you know, I'm going to give 
them the benefit of the doubt 

558
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,280
because I mean look what they're
going through, look what they're

559
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,160
going through. 
But I mean, I mean the torture, 

560
00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:01,480
the abuse, just being locked up 
for so long, everything that's 

561
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,960
going on. 
And so then I was, I was put in 

562
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,800
touch with. 
So Ryan put me in touch with 

563
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,410
with another inmate and he 
explained that that there was 

564
00:30:13,410 --> 00:30:17,530
this story that you know this 
guy saved him because he he 

565
00:30:17,530 --> 00:30:21,970
wasn't being taken care of and 
and this young black man because

566
00:30:21,970 --> 00:30:26,130
there's mostly a mostly black 
population and there Ryan's not 

567
00:30:26,130 --> 00:30:29,530
black. 
And so to be accepted into this,

568
00:30:30,130 --> 00:30:34,970
you know, population and and 
everything to be cool and you 

569
00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:39,010
know, he had to he had to have 
this guy on his side And the 

570
00:30:39,010 --> 00:30:43,760
guy, you know, says he's you 
know, helps out Ryan and and 

571
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,320
make sure he's safe in there. 
And then Ryan helps him out 

572
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,760
because of some kind of issue he
had. 

573
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,920
And so you know he wants to put 
out this story. 

574
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,560
He wants me to help get him and 
get the story out that you know 

575
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,880
this this young black man inside
he's pro trump too and and he 

576
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,920
saved Ryan and what a great 
story this is. 

577
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:11,220
And so he gets the kid on the 
phone with me and and and I say 

578
00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:14,500
kid this guy's I think he's like
20 years old and he's in there 

579
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:22,780
kind of involvement in the 
George Floyd protest riots and. 

580
00:31:22,780 --> 00:31:26,660
And so, you know, I I talked to 
this guy for a minute, but then 

581
00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:30,980
he hangs up and then he calls 
back a little while later away 

582
00:31:30,980 --> 00:31:33,460
from Ryan. 
And he's like, this is Ryan's 

583
00:31:33,460 --> 00:31:35,860
trying to get me to tell this 
story in a way that the story 

584
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:39,510
didn't really happen. 
And I don't want to lie. 

585
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:42,550
And so I'm. 
I'm not going to put the story 

586
00:31:42,550 --> 00:31:44,790
out there that way. 
Ryan's putting this twist on it 

587
00:31:44,790 --> 00:31:48,230
to try to make money. 
So all of this is about a grift.

588
00:31:48,550 --> 00:31:51,230
So I mean, look at the look at 
the fact that a phone in there 

589
00:31:51,230 --> 00:31:56,590
is 2 grand and these people are 
raising money saying, you know, 

590
00:31:56,590 --> 00:31:59,630
help me, help me. 
I need it for my legal defense. 

591
00:31:59,630 --> 00:32:04,570
I need it for my family at home.
I need it for you know medical 

592
00:32:04,570 --> 00:32:08,290
expense and and at one point he 
he tells the the audience, my 

593
00:32:08,290 --> 00:32:14,090
audience that you know the judge
has finally said that I can get 

594
00:32:14,090 --> 00:32:17,930
these these surgeries these 
medical appointments I need, but

595
00:32:17,930 --> 00:32:19,530
I'm going to have to pay for 
them myself. 

596
00:32:19,890 --> 00:32:22,410
Well, that's that's not a. 
That's not a thing. 

597
00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:25,610
No, that is not a thing. 
Once the Bureau of Prison owns 

598
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:26,730
you, they're responsible as 
well. 

599
00:32:26,730 --> 00:32:28,890
That's I mean, and so did you 
know that was BS? 

600
00:32:28,890 --> 00:32:32,490
Right away I thought that was a 
little strange. 

601
00:32:32,890 --> 00:32:35,930
I I I I. 
What do you what do you do when 

602
00:32:35,930 --> 00:32:37,890
you've got somebody that is 
lying to you and you're 

603
00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:39,170
interviewing them on your 
podcast? 

604
00:32:39,170 --> 00:32:44,370
How does that work for you? 
You know I I'll tell you my my 

605
00:32:44,370 --> 00:32:47,730
show, I've always said it's a 
it's a platform for their voices

606
00:32:48,250 --> 00:32:53,090
and and the way I look at it, 
regardless of of of how how 

607
00:32:53,090 --> 00:32:58,570
large my audience is now, I I 
feel like what I'm doing is is a

608
00:32:58,930 --> 00:33:05,320
is an historical record of their
truth because you know we know 

609
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,960
there's there's your truth 
there's my truth and there's the

610
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,960
truth. 
And so, you know, there is, 

611
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,320
there's a lot looking back that 
I now know is not true that 

612
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,280
people have said in these 
interviews. 

613
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,680
And I've actually had people 
come back to me and say, you 

614
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,680
know, I I want to retract that. 
And I'm like, you know, I can't,

615
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,720
I can't retract it. 
It's the internet's out. 

616
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,320
You know, it's forever. 
It's out there. 

617
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,480
That's right. 
You want to come back? 

618
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,920
Whether you're running for a 
Virginia State house and you put

619
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,920
a pornography or you say 
something on a podcast, they 

620
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,320
stay out there forever. 
Exactly, exactly. 

621
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,360
So you know, I'm like, you can 
come back on and we can do 

622
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,040
another interview, but you 
can't. 

623
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,600
I can't get rid of that. 
It's there. 

624
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,840
But but yeah, so, you know, I've
come to learn along the way. 

625
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,010
That's and you know, I just say 
this is my platform is for your 

626
00:33:56,010 --> 00:33:57,610
voices. 
So, So there are a lot of 

627
00:33:57,610 --> 00:34:01,970
stories out there that probably 
aren't 100% true, but there are 

628
00:34:02,090 --> 00:34:05,330
a lot of these defendants that I
100% trust. 

629
00:34:05,450 --> 00:34:10,210
And I and I know they're good 
honest people, but there's 

630
00:34:10,210 --> 00:34:13,130
there's some sketchy ones too. 
And you know, a lot of these 

631
00:34:13,130 --> 00:34:17,570
people have pretty serious 
criminal backgrounds. 

632
00:34:17,570 --> 00:34:22,010
You talk. 
About that a little bit. 

633
00:34:23,420 --> 00:34:25,659
Or does that does that burn your
credibility with the with their 

634
00:34:25,659 --> 00:34:28,340
ability to come and talk to you?
Well yeah. 

635
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:31,260
You know I'll just I'll just say
that you know there's there's 

636
00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:36,139
men in the in the in the DCJ on 
the DC gulag who have who have 

637
00:34:36,659 --> 00:34:42,580
felonies who who did 10 years in
prison for for killing someone 

638
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:49,219
for for having a meth lab. 
I I mean you know this is this 

639
00:34:49,219 --> 00:34:54,340
is what we're dealing with here 
and and some of these people you

640
00:34:54,340 --> 00:34:59,420
know I I seriously doubt that 
they are the Christians that 

641
00:34:59,420 --> 00:35:04,500
they pretend to be because that 
thing they they've created these

642
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:11,220
these these characters these 
roles of I am Uber patriot, Uber

643
00:35:11,220 --> 00:35:16,460
Christian guy and you know 
they've they may be very 

644
00:35:16,460 --> 00:35:21,990
charismatic and that is why 
people listen to them and so 

645
00:35:21,990 --> 00:35:25,030
they just continue to play these
roles because it brings in money

646
00:35:25,630 --> 00:35:33,110
and it it makes them popular. 
I guess is it a lot of money? 

647
00:35:35,230 --> 00:35:38,550
For some of these people, it is.
For some of these people it is. 

648
00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:42,830
And I and I'll tell you I, you 
know, it was, it was a hard 

649
00:35:42,830 --> 00:35:44,910
decision for me to put this 
story out. 

650
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:50,850
And and I did get some recoil 
from it because, you know, we're

651
00:35:50,850 --> 00:35:54,610
not supposed to talk bad about 
any J Sixers. 

652
00:35:55,490 --> 00:36:00,410
But when we've got these these 
stories coming out that are so 

653
00:36:00,530 --> 00:36:06,330
obviously BS, it makes us look 
really stupid to the left when 

654
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:10,130
they're sitting there laughing 
at the picture of the guy in the

655
00:36:10,130 --> 00:36:13,210
janitor's closet, like I did the
minute I saw it. 

656
00:36:13,770 --> 00:36:18,880
And we sit there and we say, oh,
I can't believe this is America 

657
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,800
with a K, you know? 
Yeah. 

658
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,120
Will you, Will you show the 
picture real quick, Ryan, Again,

659
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,400
we've got to call this out. 
We've got to call this out 

660
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,200
because if we're not, if we're 
not being honest on our own 

661
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,880
side, who's going to believe us?
So we've got a picture of a man.

662
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,680
I've got the picture up of Ryan 
that he released. 

663
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,360
He's laying on a mat of some 
kind in a very, very small room 

664
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,400
that's got a bucket and a drain,
which is a janitor closet as you

665
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,760
described later on in your 
piece. 

666
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,200
He's pretty clean. 
He doesn't seem to have any 

667
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,800
surgical scars on his face from 
where he supposedly left and 

668
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,720
lost an eye, right. 
And then, well, the story 

669
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,040
changed with the eye because it 
started out he's blind, you 

670
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,840
know, his eye, his eye was 
popped out of socket. 

671
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,240
I mean it. 
This story's right. 

672
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,880
And and at one point in 
interviewing Ryan I actually had

673
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,960
him say, well, I just, I really 
it's really something kind of 

674
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,840
detached like in my brain with 
my eye. 

675
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,040
I I really just need this little
surgery. 

676
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,440
I I just can't see very well. 
They can just put the optic 

677
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:23,440
nerve back together. 
That's fine. 

678
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,240
There's no big deal there, yeah.
So when you start getting these 

679
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:29,960
stories that that picture right 
away for me triggered a bunch of

680
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,800
questions. 
It's like #1 if you've ever seen

681
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,120
anybody who sits in the same 
room for a period of time, their

682
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,880
their pants are not clean. 
The story was that he was thrown

683
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,360
in naked, but he's wearing nude 
colored shorts, which looks like

684
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,760
he could have been in dive 
school with me. 

685
00:37:41,430 --> 00:37:43,830
We used to wear little, you 
know, khaki shorts like that. 

686
00:37:44,190 --> 00:37:48,270
And then he he's just sitting 
there and so you who took the 

687
00:37:48,270 --> 00:37:49,550
picture and who left the 
picture? 

688
00:37:49,630 --> 00:37:52,310
And I thought that was real. 
I legit thought that was real. 

689
00:37:55,310 --> 00:37:57,830
I just, I told Ryan this. 
I told Ryan, Mad of this, our 

690
00:37:57,830 --> 00:37:59,710
producer, I said. 
I said when I saw that photo, I 

691
00:37:59,710 --> 00:38:02,510
had all these questions because 
I'm naturally curious and I'm 

692
00:38:02,630 --> 00:38:03,990
actually, I'm naturally just a 
skeptic. 

693
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,880
That's that's what makes you an 
investigator. 

694
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,000
And you had the same thing. 
So you start digging into this, 

695
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,080
obviously found out the guys 
getting put up to a story. 

696
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,280
What's the real story with 
what's going on in that photo, 

697
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,600
if you understand it okay well. 
So you know, I I, I do believe 

698
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,160
that that maybe something went 
on in Philly when they had him 

699
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,880
locked up there. 
And I think it's important to 

700
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:31,560
say that this is the guy who was
at the initial breach at the 

701
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,300
bottom of the stairs of the 
Capitol who was wearing a red 

702
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,820
mag of hats. 
And Ray Epps comes over and 

703
00:38:37,820 --> 00:38:42,620
whispers to him and Ryan turns 
his red cap around, Which to a 

704
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:45,740
lot of people, you know, because
we were, we were told, you know,

705
00:38:46,180 --> 00:38:49,340
antifa's going to be wearing mag
of hats backwards. 

706
00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:52,900
So immediately people think, you
know, oh, that must mean he's 

707
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:56,980
Antifa. 
Could be, but I don't think 

708
00:38:56,980 --> 00:38:58,100
that's why he turned the hat 
around. 

709
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:00,740
But it could have also just been
like a like a over the top fan 

710
00:39:00,740 --> 00:39:02,340
of Sly Stallone. 
And he just knew that was like 

711
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,460
flipping the switch, right. 
Well, I'll tell you, this is the

712
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:07,380
this is the guy who grew up in 
the streets of Philly. 

713
00:39:07,380 --> 00:39:12,060
He's he's big into street 
fighting and you know he's 

714
00:39:12,980 --> 00:39:15,220
anyway that that's kind of the 
kind of guy he is. 

715
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:22,220
So if you watch the, you can see
he's getting all wired up. 

716
00:39:22,220 --> 00:39:25,980
He's ready to go kick some butt 
and and so that was just one of 

717
00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:28,460
those moves where he's like, I 
got to turn the hat around so I 

718
00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:30,180
can see better because I'm about
to go. 

719
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,080
I'm going to have to go beat the
shit out of these police 

720
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,160
officers. 
Okay, There goes the jacket. 

721
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,400
That's step one. 
Hats on. 

722
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,440
Now we're in business mode. 
Ray Epps is going to tell him 

723
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,880
something and he says he says 
okay. 

724
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,000
Now we all have to get inside 
the Capitol building, otherwise 

725
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,520
I'm not going to get paid by DHS
or whatever, he says. 

726
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,320
Right. 
Right. 

727
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,840
Whatever. 
Whatever they've agreed on so. 

728
00:39:54,190 --> 00:39:57,950
So he's not, he's not the guys 
that we're looking at that 

729
00:39:58,270 --> 00:40:00,670
didn't ever touch the fence or 
out with a bullhorn saying don't

730
00:40:00,670 --> 00:40:02,710
go in there to trap or some of 
these other things. 

731
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:05,350
He's a different kind of guy. 
How many buckets of people I I I

732
00:40:05,350 --> 00:40:07,590
try to sort these people out in 
my head and kind of general 

733
00:40:07,590 --> 00:40:09,590
camps. 
If he's the guy that showed up 

734
00:40:09,590 --> 00:40:12,790
there to do to get wild and 
maybe that's it. 

735
00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:14,670
And then now he's doing a prison
grift. 

736
00:40:14,990 --> 00:40:16,550
What are the other? 
What are the other camps look 

737
00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:21,250
like? 
You mean just just other? 

738
00:40:21,370 --> 00:40:23,770
Yeah, just broadly speaking 
across the spectrum of people 

739
00:40:23,770 --> 00:40:27,330
who are in, in, in the January 
6th debacle in jail, I mean from

740
00:40:27,330 --> 00:40:29,210
one end of the spectrum, what's 
it look like and what's the far 

741
00:40:29,210 --> 00:40:31,050
end of the spectrum look like 
from left to right boundaries, 

742
00:40:31,050 --> 00:40:32,650
if you would. 
Yeah. 

743
00:40:32,850 --> 00:40:36,410
So, So yeah, I don't want to 
mischaracterize January 6th 

744
00:40:36,410 --> 00:40:40,130
defendants at all because you 
know, in any group of people 

745
00:40:40,130 --> 00:40:44,210
you're going to have the bad 
actors for sure, 100% incredible

746
00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:46,610
people. 
I mean, we've got Ronald Colt 

747
00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:51,220
Mcabee, who was a law 
enforcement officer, deputy 

748
00:40:51,220 --> 00:40:55,500
sheriff, who was there in the 
tunnel where Roseanne Boylan was

749
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:59,620
murdered and he was trying to 
save her life. 

750
00:41:01,220 --> 00:41:04,300
He was, you know, I believe he 
told the other officers there, 

751
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:06,940
I'm police officer. 
He was trying to help her. 

752
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:11,660
He wanted to give her CPR and 
then let him and and I think, 

753
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,840
you know, they even used some of
that footage in the January 6th 

754
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,400
committee. 
But they take the audio out so 

755
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,080
you can't hear what he is 
saying. 

756
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,200
And this guy has been locked up 
since, you know since the 

757
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,400
beginning pretty much. 
And his wife's been out here. 

758
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,880
Sarah has been out here just 
fighting for him. 

759
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,120
It's it's crazy. 
It it really is because I, you 

760
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,120
know, I really think that he is 
one of the really good ones. 

761
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,160
That's my sense as well, just 
the things that I've read and 

762
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,560
the fact that we've dealt with 
Sarah a little bit. 

763
00:41:42,450 --> 00:41:45,410
It it would be really, really 
hard to imagine of of another 

764
00:41:45,410 --> 00:41:47,530
police officer of any kind 
somebody in actual in law 

765
00:41:47,530 --> 00:41:50,850
enforcement go out and then say 
I'm going to condone violence 

766
00:41:50,850 --> 00:41:53,210
against law enforcement officers
because of a political thing 

767
00:41:53,210 --> 00:41:54,930
that happened. 
I mean it that the line is not 

768
00:41:55,250 --> 00:41:58,490
that flexible for any cop I've 
ever been. 

769
00:41:58,610 --> 00:42:01,330
I've never thought of a cop that
way and there probably are some 

770
00:42:01,330 --> 00:42:03,410
out there that are garbage but 
it's just it's hard to imagine. 

771
00:42:03,410 --> 00:42:06,450
So I, you know that's if that's 
one end of the spectrum what's 

772
00:42:06,450 --> 00:42:11,450
the other end of the spectrum 
look like Well I mean that that 

773
00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:14,330
that's that's the the good end 
of the spectrum and then the bad

774
00:42:14,650 --> 00:42:18,410
spectrum is is is Ryan Stanslow 
and the and the like you know so

775
00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:23,210
we we've got you know we've got 
a lot of family family men who 

776
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:27,450
are locked up their their 
families have lost everything. 

777
00:42:27,450 --> 00:42:32,250
In a lot of these situations the
wives end up leaving which is 

778
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:35,410
which is very sad because and 
and I think in a lot of these 

779
00:42:35,410 --> 00:42:37,690
cases it's because that they're 
they're not part of the 

780
00:42:37,690 --> 00:42:42,100
community and I think that's 
where we've seen the suicides 

781
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:45,940
and and these other kind of 
situations are where the family 

782
00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:49,620
is, is not part of the January 6
community because no one can 

783
00:42:49,620 --> 00:42:53,460
understand what it's like to go 
through this except other 

784
00:42:53,460 --> 00:42:57,060
January 6 families. 
So why I I think that's why it's

785
00:42:57,060 --> 00:43:01,180
so important for people to come 
in and and and become a part of 

786
00:43:01,180 --> 00:43:03,630
the community. 
That makes a lot of sense. 

787
00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:06,110
I mean that's the same thing 
with the military families, if 

788
00:43:06,110 --> 00:43:08,030
you think about it, if you're 
not connected to other Military 

789
00:43:08,030 --> 00:43:10,350
Wives, if you're not connected 
to people that are on base and 

790
00:43:10,350 --> 00:43:12,870
know what's going on and 
understand the needs and and 

791
00:43:13,230 --> 00:43:16,110
then then you're screwed. 
You're going to be divorced and 

792
00:43:16,110 --> 00:43:17,350
go find somebody else to live 
with. 

793
00:43:17,350 --> 00:43:19,990
But if you can have the support 
structure of community, then 

794
00:43:20,350 --> 00:43:22,550
then you know that that's how it
works and people get along and 

795
00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:24,190
they they handle all kinds of 
difficulties. 

796
00:43:25,470 --> 00:43:27,870
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 
And so many of these are vets, 

797
00:43:27,870 --> 00:43:29,990
it seems like too. 
It seems like the vets have kind

798
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:31,110
of know what the what the game 
is. 

799
00:43:31,270 --> 00:43:35,510
Some of them do yeah absolutely 
we've we've we've definitely 

800
00:43:35,510 --> 00:43:39,670
have a lot of veterans and some 
and some law enforcement 

801
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:42,030
officers. 
I mean it's it's heavy on that 

802
00:43:42,030 --> 00:43:43,790
end for the arrests. 
It really is. 

803
00:43:45,310 --> 00:43:48,350
What do you think the overall 
game is that is being played? 

804
00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:52,150
But you dealt with the FBIA 
little bit, you've dealt with 

805
00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:54,430
the justice system, you've 
covered a lot of these trials. 

806
00:43:54,510 --> 00:43:56,670
Like what? 
What's the end goal here? 

807
00:44:00,130 --> 00:44:02,650
What's the angle? 
I think the government's angle 

808
00:44:02,650 --> 00:44:08,930
is, is to promote as much fear 
as possible and and this runs 

809
00:44:09,490 --> 00:44:15,050
not only on you know on the 
prosecution side but but I'm I'm

810
00:44:15,290 --> 00:44:17,330
you know you see it in the 
courtroom from the judges as 

811
00:44:17,330 --> 00:44:24,090
well Judge Kelly went on and on 
in these proud boy sentencings 

812
00:44:24,090 --> 00:44:31,630
about about protecting the 
government which you know I I 

813
00:44:31,630 --> 00:44:33,510
couldn't even believe I was 
hearing that in the courtroom 

814
00:44:34,350 --> 00:44:37,270
protect. 
What does that even mean 

815
00:44:37,270 --> 00:44:39,990
exactly? 
I mean what about we the people,

816
00:44:40,830 --> 00:44:47,110
it's just insane and and that's 
you know that we had to to set 

817
00:44:47,110 --> 00:44:50,750
an example, had to set an 
example so that people wouldn't 

818
00:44:50,750 --> 00:44:54,190
do this again. 
So I think that's what it's all 

819
00:44:54,190 --> 00:44:57,300
about and if you just if you 
look back at history I mean this

820
00:44:57,300 --> 00:44:59,500
is what they do. 
I mean it's the the political 

821
00:44:59,500 --> 00:45:03,420
weaponization they start putting
their their their enemies in 

822
00:45:03,420 --> 00:45:07,580
jail and then scaring everybody 
and you know they they don't 

823
00:45:07,580 --> 00:45:15,500
want us to to protest so they've
they've been quite effective in 

824
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:18,660
that it's I'll tell you it's 
hard to get people to to show up

825
00:45:18,660 --> 00:45:22,740
for a rally or protest anymore. 
People are scared to death they 

826
00:45:22,860 --> 00:45:28,270
they definitely don't want to do
it in DC but you know it's it's 

827
00:45:28,270 --> 00:45:34,030
crazy So they as I I kind of got
off the track at one point but I

828
00:45:34,070 --> 00:45:40,310
but I was starting to tell you 
the story of you know I've done 

829
00:45:40,310 --> 00:45:43,910
all these interviews and so my 
my my podcast is in everybody's 

830
00:45:43,910 --> 00:45:46,230
discovery. 
Oh yeah that's fun. 

831
00:45:47,190 --> 00:45:48,550
Yeah. 
Yeah it's great. 

832
00:45:48,550 --> 00:45:54,120
So I was I was in a trial about 
3 weeks ago and he was at lunch 

833
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,400
break on the first day and I 
was. 

834
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,880
I was at the Bank of elevators 
in the in the courtroom going 

835
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,640
down for lunch and and the 
prosecution team walks up behind

836
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,360
me and the prosecutor, I 
suddenly hear his voice. 

837
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,080
He says it's great to see you in
person for the first time, Ms. 

838
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,040
Holly. 
That's weird. 

839
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,320
Are you kidding me? 
That's bizarre. 

840
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,160
Yeah. 
How many hours have they been 

841
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,440
pouring over your podcast 
looking for incriminating 

842
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,700
evidence? 
Exactly and. 

843
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:25,660
That one sound bite that they're
going to play out of context or 

844
00:46:25,660 --> 00:46:28,420
whatever it is they do, Yeah, 
yeah. 

845
00:46:28,780 --> 00:46:31,300
And they were messing with me in
that trial too, because they 

846
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:34,700
didn't actually end up using any
of my my stuff. 

847
00:46:34,940 --> 00:46:37,940
But on one of the slides they 
kept showing up in the top 

848
00:46:37,940 --> 00:46:41,420
corner is a little tab open. 
That's that's the name of my 

849
00:46:41,420 --> 00:46:44,340
podcast. 
Right now, tell people what the 

850
00:46:44,340 --> 00:46:46,060
name of your podcast is, because
they're going to be curious. 

851
00:46:46,060 --> 00:46:47,020
They're going to want to go see 
that. 

852
00:46:47,020 --> 00:46:48,660
And I looked at it last night a 
little bit. 

853
00:46:50,210 --> 00:46:53,010
Justice in Jeopardy is my 
January 6th podcast. 

854
00:46:54,250 --> 00:47:02,010
My I'm Sovereign Souls Media. 
And so my my website is Saab 

855
00:47:02,250 --> 00:47:05,050
Souls dot us. 
And that's where you can find 

856
00:47:05,050 --> 00:47:05,930
all my work. 
But. 

857
00:47:06,530 --> 00:47:09,090
I've got your sub stack in the 
in the show notes so people can 

858
00:47:09,090 --> 00:47:11,810
click on that and on the top tab
of the sub stack, the main home 

859
00:47:11,810 --> 00:47:13,530
page, there's all the links. 
It looks like if you hit the 

860
00:47:13,610 --> 00:47:17,170
website and so on, it should 
pull those things up I think. 

861
00:47:17,370 --> 00:47:20,090
Great. 
I I I went and played with it 

862
00:47:20,090 --> 00:47:22,410
yesterday so soft souls there 
that's got your Twitter it's got

863
00:47:22,410 --> 00:47:24,290
the the website the YouTube 
thing and then there's also a 

864
00:47:24,290 --> 00:47:27,450
list of of of recent interviews 
and whatnot. 

865
00:47:27,450 --> 00:47:29,770
So folks if you want to see that
that's at least one central 

866
00:47:29,770 --> 00:47:31,090
thing. 
I always find that if we try to 

867
00:47:31,090 --> 00:47:34,050
do you know 10 or 12 different 
links because I know a lot of us

868
00:47:34,050 --> 00:47:36,970
are are out there in different 
places it's it's just one link 

869
00:47:36,970 --> 00:47:38,650
will drive to all the other 
links So if you're if you're 

870
00:47:38,650 --> 00:47:40,810
curious it's not going to be 
very hard for you people know 

871
00:47:40,810 --> 00:47:43,090
how to use the Internet. 
I think I trust my audience with

872
00:47:43,090 --> 00:47:45,480
laugh. 
Go to my website you can pretty 

873
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,960
much find links to find me 
everywhere and and now and and 

874
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:55,400
since since 1776 returns was 
started that's that's also where

875
00:47:55,400 --> 00:48:00,920
where I write articles. 
So definitely def back out 1776 

876
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,800
returns.com. 
Yeah, some pretty wild stuff on 

877
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,560
there. 
And is that, is that Sean? 

878
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,560
Is that Sean Witsman's thing? 
He's doing it full time. 

879
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,470
That's what he's launched up on,
Yes, Yes. 

880
00:48:11,470 --> 00:48:13,950
So. 
So he launched that and Ashton 

881
00:48:13,950 --> 00:48:16,030
Ritchie and I are are his main 2
writers. 

882
00:48:17,510 --> 00:48:19,710
But yeah, Sean Sean's an 
incredible journalist. 

883
00:48:19,710 --> 00:48:22,190
He's he's got a great sense of 
humor. 

884
00:48:22,350 --> 00:48:24,870
He really does. 
He's really, he's the kind of 

885
00:48:24,870 --> 00:48:26,590
guy that would have made it in 
my friend group. 

886
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:28,670
I always have like a couple 
different types of friends. 

887
00:48:28,670 --> 00:48:30,830
You know, some friends are like 
drinking a beer and some friends

888
00:48:30,830 --> 00:48:34,510
are like taking a shot and and 
he's like he's like drinking a 

889
00:48:34,510 --> 00:48:36,750
mixed drink. 
He's strong, but he's got a lot 

890
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:39,870
to say at the same time. 
And that's always really fun. 

891
00:48:40,030 --> 00:48:43,150
His humor is really dark, which 
matches my sort of look at the 

892
00:48:43,150 --> 00:48:46,030
world. 
And he's very sarcastic and he's

893
00:48:46,030 --> 00:48:51,390
got all this kind of kind of 
just just wry wit maybe, I don't

894
00:48:51,390 --> 00:48:54,150
know, like folks, I deal with 
Sean, we we text back and forth 

895
00:48:54,150 --> 00:48:56,790
and everything we do it. 
It it's like texting where 

896
00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:58,990
someone has deleted every every 
three lines. 

897
00:48:59,910 --> 00:49:01,790
You know what I mean? 
Like he assumes that you know a 

898
00:49:01,790 --> 00:49:03,750
couple of things and then he 
says something that didn't get 

899
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:04,510
said. 
You know, you move. 

900
00:49:04,630 --> 00:49:06,990
He jumps forward in the 
conversation and makes you put 

901
00:49:06,990 --> 00:49:09,430
the other stuff in your head. 
Sometimes it's it's it's clever.

902
00:49:09,470 --> 00:49:13,190
It's exactly, exactly, yeah. 
He's brilliant. 

903
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:16,870
He's a he's a great friend and 
and he does, I mean you, you've 

904
00:49:16,870 --> 00:49:18,350
got it. 
You've got to understand that 

905
00:49:18,350 --> 00:49:21,030
sense of humor to be friends 
with him, for sure. 

906
00:49:22,150 --> 00:49:23,550
There's a movie called Ronan 
that I watched. 

907
00:49:23,550 --> 00:49:24,830
I don't remember if you ever saw
this. 

908
00:49:24,830 --> 00:49:27,630
This is a Ronan was with Robert 
De Niro and. 

909
00:49:28,340 --> 00:49:30,420
Sean Bean was in a couple other 
really good actors. 

910
00:49:31,020 --> 00:49:33,780
European film it is. 
But I always told people it was 

911
00:49:33,780 --> 00:49:35,940
like a regular action movie 
where they had really smart 

912
00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:38,020
writers and then they deleted 
every other line to make it 

913
00:49:38,020 --> 00:49:39,380
really, really weird and 
interesting. 

914
00:49:39,940 --> 00:49:42,380
And so somebody would be like, 
they were like, he's like, you 

915
00:49:42,380 --> 00:49:44,660
ever kill anybody, you know? 
And then he's like, I heard 

916
00:49:44,660 --> 00:49:45,900
someone's feelings once, you 
know? 

917
00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:49,230
It's just like, it's really cool
guy talk. 

918
00:49:49,230 --> 00:49:50,710
It's smart and it's it's 
interesting. 

919
00:49:50,710 --> 00:49:52,630
And somebody would be like, he 
would be like we're in the 

920
00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:54,870
military and he's like, no, I 
got this job to the New York 

921
00:49:54,870 --> 00:49:58,910
Times and you're like, what? 
It's just it's clever. 

922
00:49:58,910 --> 00:50:01,470
And it's like every time I read 
Shawn's text back and forth, 

923
00:50:01,470 --> 00:50:04,190
that's what it looks like to me.
It's just it's like I missed a 

924
00:50:04,190 --> 00:50:05,750
line in there that he didn't, 
no, he didn't write it. 

925
00:50:05,750 --> 00:50:07,750
He's just assuming that I know 
what was the next step. 

926
00:50:07,790 --> 00:50:09,790
And then he went two steps 
further beyond that. 

927
00:50:10,290 --> 00:50:11,690
And some of his writing is that 
way too. 

928
00:50:11,690 --> 00:50:13,250
And actually I saw some of that 
take. 

929
00:50:13,370 --> 00:50:15,730
I actually thought that Sean 
wrote that that article that you

930
00:50:15,730 --> 00:50:16,970
did. 
And I was actually happy to see 

931
00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:19,210
that that's what we were talking
about here, cuz I thought he was

932
00:50:19,210 --> 00:50:20,770
setting somebody up. 
When we when we first did the 

933
00:50:20,770 --> 00:50:21,890
interview, he said I should talk
to you. 

934
00:50:22,290 --> 00:50:23,570
And I was like, Oh no, we're 
going to. 

935
00:50:23,570 --> 00:50:25,530
I don't really want to bring 
people on and hurt their 

936
00:50:25,530 --> 00:50:27,570
feelings or expose them and 
you're the one who's really 

937
00:50:27,570 --> 00:50:30,690
exposing things there. 
And so that's fantastic. 

938
00:50:30,690 --> 00:50:32,890
I'm just, I'm psyched to talk to
you and I think it's good. 

939
00:50:33,290 --> 00:50:34,410
Can we? 
Yeah. 

940
00:50:34,450 --> 00:50:38,890
Well, I I, I like to say that 
yet you know it like I said it 

941
00:50:38,890 --> 00:50:41,970
was it was a very hard decision 
to to go ahead and put that 

942
00:50:41,970 --> 00:50:46,490
story out because I knew I was 
going to get you know, it was 

943
00:50:46,490 --> 00:50:47,890
not going to go over well with 
everybody. 

944
00:50:49,370 --> 00:50:53,490
But I thought it, I thought it 
was important to do and and I, 

945
00:50:53,490 --> 00:50:57,570
you know, I to be honest, I mean
for people who are suggesting 

946
00:50:57,570 --> 00:51:00,730
that that I somehow was doing it
for my own benefit, it makes no 

947
00:51:00,730 --> 00:51:05,070
sense because I had to eat crow 
to to put this out and say you 

948
00:51:05,070 --> 00:51:07,590
know, I know you guys know I've 
been advocating hardcore for 

949
00:51:07,590 --> 00:51:09,870
this guy for a year and a half. 
But but I was. 

950
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:14,870
I was deceived, you know, So you
know, it doesn't benefit me in 

951
00:51:14,870 --> 00:51:17,110
any way. 
But that is the mark of doing 

952
00:51:17,110 --> 00:51:18,910
the right thing, right? 
I mean, that's the, that's the 

953
00:51:18,910 --> 00:51:20,310
thing we're not seeing the 
government do. 

954
00:51:20,470 --> 00:51:24,630
It turns out just no ability to 
take new facts and and and 

955
00:51:24,630 --> 00:51:26,590
realize, oh, you know what? 
I thought it was this thing, but

956
00:51:26,590 --> 00:51:29,830
there's more to it. 
Yeah, they're willing to just 

957
00:51:29,830 --> 00:51:32,950
cover up for each other. 
I see that too. 

958
00:51:33,670 --> 00:51:34,830
I mean, it troubles me to no 
end. 

959
00:51:34,830 --> 00:51:37,390
As someone who worked in there, 
I feel like they're tarnishing 

960
00:51:37,390 --> 00:51:39,870
credibility of people who 
actually did good work and now 

961
00:51:39,870 --> 00:51:42,510
everything is suspect because 
it's really bad work. 

962
00:51:43,710 --> 00:51:45,270
Exactly. 
Exactly. 

963
00:51:46,430 --> 00:51:47,590
It should. 
This should actually. 

964
00:51:47,710 --> 00:51:50,070
Stories like what you just did 
should actually make you more 

965
00:51:50,070 --> 00:51:53,110
legitimate, even if it hurts 
feelings inside the camp. 

966
00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:55,390
And it's one of the reasons why 
I like Sean when we talk, 

967
00:51:55,390 --> 00:51:57,550
because he said I have a very 
nuanced view of things. 

968
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,000
There is no black and white in 
this. 

969
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,880
There's some good guys, there's 
some bad guys, there's some sort

970
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,400
of good guys, there's some sort 
of bad guys that did some good 

971
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,240
things. 
You know, like life is. 

972
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,720
It's just not, it's not 
headlines. 

973
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:11,640
We don't live in headline world.
Yeah. 

974
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,640
And I think so many people think
that there's gonna be we're 

975
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,760
gonna figure it out I I've got 
I've figured it out. 

976
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,160
You know this this is what it 
was that day or this is what it 

977
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:23,480
was. 
No, no. 

978
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:29,250
This was just a a huge pot of of
craziness. 

979
00:52:29,290 --> 00:52:33,490
I mean we had so many different 
things going on, you know, so 

980
00:52:33,490 --> 00:52:36,010
many different people coming 
from so many different angles. 

981
00:52:37,170 --> 00:52:40,610
You know, we we had undercovers 
from from every single alphabet 

982
00:52:40,610 --> 00:52:46,170
soup that you can imagine and 
and and we had government, you 

983
00:52:46,170 --> 00:52:49,290
know, we had Pelosi doing stuff 
and Pence doing stuff. 

984
00:52:49,290 --> 00:52:53,630
I mean I mean they were all 
involved and I see the same 

985
00:52:53,630 --> 00:52:57,110
thing from from the defendants I
I actually I work I I work for 

986
00:52:57,110 --> 00:53:02,750
John Pierce law as well and and 
so I so I get to see a lot of 

987
00:53:02,750 --> 00:53:06,550
this from from the inside from 
the from the legal side too and 

988
00:53:06,790 --> 00:53:09,430
and all these defendants they 
they think they've found the 

989
00:53:09,430 --> 00:53:12,870
magic bullet that's going to win
their case you know and that 

990
00:53:12,870 --> 00:53:18,030
there is going to be the one and
it's not like that it it doesn't

991
00:53:18,030 --> 00:53:21,530
work that way at all. 
Everybody. 

992
00:53:21,610 --> 00:53:23,530
I I call it like an idolatry 
almost. 

993
00:53:23,530 --> 00:53:25,730
It's it's like one person is 
going to save US1. 

994
00:53:25,730 --> 00:53:28,850
Narrative is going to be that's 
the the the threat of truth that

995
00:53:28,850 --> 00:53:30,890
weaves everything together. 
There's a movie. 

996
00:53:30,890 --> 00:53:32,770
This is another movie I used to 
watch a lot of detective movies 

997
00:53:32,770 --> 00:53:35,210
and one of them is called Daryl 
Zero or it's called 0 effect. 

998
00:53:35,210 --> 00:53:37,650
It's about a guy named 00. 
Nobody knows it but it's it was 

999
00:53:37,650 --> 00:53:41,170
the precursor to the show House 
House MD which is based on 

1000
00:53:41,170 --> 00:53:45,370
Sherlock Holmes okay and and Ben
Stiller is kind of the the 

1001
00:53:45,370 --> 00:53:47,050
Watson character. 
He's the assistant and he's 

1002
00:53:47,050 --> 00:53:49,290
yelling at Bill Pullman, who 
plays the main character. 

1003
00:53:49,740 --> 00:53:52,820
And he goes it's not a world of 
good guys and bad guys it's just

1004
00:53:52,820 --> 00:53:57,900
a bunch of guys and and I always
hear that bouncing around in my 

1005
00:53:57,900 --> 00:54:00,060
head when people tell me it's 
like I figured it out. 

1006
00:54:00,060 --> 00:54:03,420
I've I've cracked the case. 
The case is not crackable 

1007
00:54:03,420 --> 00:54:06,180
because it's not because you're 
because it's so many there's a 

1008
00:54:06,180 --> 00:54:08,980
million cases and and and 
everybody had a different story 

1009
00:54:08,980 --> 00:54:10,940
going in there And and I think 
that's what's really important 

1010
00:54:10,940 --> 00:54:13,060
about what you've been revealing
and and more importantly it's 

1011
00:54:13,340 --> 00:54:16,220
what's important about the way 
that you're willing to to say 

1012
00:54:16,700 --> 00:54:19,180
look this was a con and we can 
all be conned. 

1013
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,840
I think that's really important 
for journalists too. 

1014
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:23,840
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1015
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,800
And you know, I think it is 
important to to remember that 

1016
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,800
when it comes down to it, we're 
talking about people whose 

1017
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:36,840
constitutional rights have been 
infringed and and if we let this

1018
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,560
go on, you know, they they're 
coming for us all. 

1019
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,940
I I've been saying that for the 
past two years and people don't 

1020
00:54:44,940 --> 00:54:47,820
understand even if you're, even 
if you're you know you've got 

1021
00:54:47,940 --> 00:54:50,900
terrible TDs and and and you 
just think it was an 

1022
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:54,420
insurrection, whatever. 
If you don't see that that this 

1023
00:54:54,420 --> 00:54:57,100
is, that there's political 
weaponization going on and that 

1024
00:54:57,100 --> 00:55:00,540
these people really are 
political hostages and that and 

1025
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,900
that Merrick Garland just, you 
know, it's crazy that he's still

1026
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:09,260
going on with this almost three 
years later. 

1027
00:55:09,940 --> 00:55:14,980
He's still doing this. 
You know, you're in for a world 

1028
00:55:14,980 --> 00:55:18,940
of hurt going forward because 
you know, they they are. 

1029
00:55:19,220 --> 00:55:21,740
They're coming for us all. 
There's an energy in this 

1030
00:55:21,740 --> 00:55:25,540
country on both sides right now 
that is it's it's barely 

1031
00:55:25,540 --> 00:55:28,660
bridled. 
So do you mind prognosticating a

1032
00:55:28,660 --> 00:55:29,780
little bit? 
I'm going to throw the scenario 

1033
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:31,740
out and you tell me how it how 
it ends because I think there's 

1034
00:55:31,740 --> 00:55:33,780
only a couple of ways as this 
thing goes in the next little 

1035
00:55:33,780 --> 00:55:35,140
bit. 
One of them is that Trump runs 

1036
00:55:35,140 --> 00:55:39,340
the primary and he doesn't win 
the the general. 

1037
00:55:39,660 --> 00:55:46,150
How does that look in America? 
Well, I I'm afraid he's going 

1038
00:55:46,150 --> 00:55:48,310
to. 
He's going to win from inside 

1039
00:55:48,310 --> 00:55:51,630
prison. 
Certainly a possibility, but 

1040
00:55:52,270 --> 00:55:57,510
real, Yeah, we're kind of going,
but if he wins the primary and 

1041
00:55:57,510 --> 00:56:04,030
doesn't win the general, then 
you know, I I don't know what 

1042
00:56:04,030 --> 00:56:06,870
we're going to do. 
Can anybody on the on the 

1043
00:56:06,870 --> 00:56:09,350
political right or the people 
that are in the the J6 camp can 

1044
00:56:09,350 --> 00:56:14,940
they accept that that's a 
legitimate loss you think I 

1045
00:56:14,940 --> 00:56:19,060
don't think most of America who 
plans to vote for Trump can will

1046
00:56:19,060 --> 00:56:21,340
consider that that that's even a
possibility. 

1047
00:56:21,340 --> 00:56:23,980
I I think at that point that you
know I think we're going to have

1048
00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:27,140
some people who just who just 
give up and give in and they're 

1049
00:56:27,140 --> 00:56:29,460
like okay. 
You know we completely lost our 

1050
00:56:29,460 --> 00:56:31,700
country. 
There's nothing we can do And 

1051
00:56:31,700 --> 00:56:35,340
then you know I'm not sure if 
we're going to have people who 

1052
00:56:35,340 --> 00:56:38,740
go as far as taking to arms. 
I mean you know what what's this

1053
00:56:38,740 --> 00:56:40,340
going to look like? 
I I really don't know. 

1054
00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:43,390
So then the next possibility is 
that he doesn't win the primary 

1055
00:56:43,390 --> 00:56:44,590
and of course isn't in the 
general. 

1056
00:56:44,670 --> 00:56:48,710
And then what? 
And. 

1057
00:56:49,630 --> 00:56:51,150
That may because he's in a jail 
cell too. 

1058
00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:52,950
I think that's the possibility 
that that happens. 

1059
00:56:53,350 --> 00:56:55,630
Yeah. 
So I, you know, I I really think

1060
00:56:55,630 --> 00:56:59,510
if if we can't win in 2024 then 
then then I think we have lost 

1061
00:56:59,510 --> 00:57:01,070
our country. 
I really do. 

1062
00:57:02,030 --> 00:57:03,430
Okay. 
And then here's the thing that I

1063
00:57:03,430 --> 00:57:06,150
think is also troubling because 
I I look at all this stuff, I'm 

1064
00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:09,600
not. 
A Trump guy, although he got my 

1065
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,600
vote and the second time around 
for sure and you know he would 

1066
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,040
get my vote out of anybody, is 
better than what we got going 

1067
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,280
right now. 
He's just not somebody that I 

1068
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,880
see is the solution to all these
things. 

1069
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,480
Mostly I just don't like really 
old people in office at this 

1070
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,280
point, but we're in kind of this
unusual circumstance. 

1071
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,240
So imagine Trump wins the 
primary, wins the general. 

1072
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,800
And what happens to this energy 
that has been steamrolling 

1073
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,440
people from the other side and 
also the mechanisms of 

1074
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,970
government that are part of it? 
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going 

1075
00:57:38,970 --> 00:57:41,490
to happen with the other side if
we go that direction because 

1076
00:57:42,690 --> 00:57:45,170
they are, they are already so, 
so upset. 

1077
00:57:45,170 --> 00:57:49,530
They're so triggered. 
They're so to have him back in 

1078
00:57:49,530 --> 00:57:54,170
the office, which is, you know, 
you know, I think I think we do,

1079
00:57:54,330 --> 00:57:56,970
we do have selections, not 
elections. 

1080
00:57:57,570 --> 00:58:02,130
And and I kind of feel like the 
powers that be are going to are 

1081
00:58:02,130 --> 00:58:08,980
going to put in a Republican 
somehow. 

1082
00:58:08,980 --> 00:58:12,140
I think that I think that's 
their plan and I think they're 

1083
00:58:12,140 --> 00:58:14,700
kind of sticking different 
people in a little bit that I 

1084
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:17,260
think they see that that this 
chances is not going to be the 

1085
00:58:17,260 --> 00:58:21,620
one. 
So they they just keep trying 

1086
00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:23,540
different people. 
You know, you'll have pins come 

1087
00:58:23,540 --> 00:58:25,980
out and talk. 
I mean that's that's got to be 

1088
00:58:25,980 --> 00:58:30,540
the biggest joke in the world. 
But Oh my gosh. 

1089
00:58:33,260 --> 00:58:39,500
And you know, so I I think that 
they are going to try to make it

1090
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:41,140
go in that direction, but 
they're going to do everything 

1091
00:58:41,140 --> 00:58:42,620
they can to make sure it's not 
Trump. 

1092
00:58:42,620 --> 00:58:45,380
And and that's, you know, that's
why they're, that's why they've 

1093
00:58:45,380 --> 00:58:46,980
indicted them. 
That's why they're going after 

1094
00:58:46,980 --> 00:58:49,300
him, because they're going to do
everything they can to keep him 

1095
00:58:49,300 --> 00:58:54,060
out of office. 
So I I just don't know. 

1096
00:58:55,060 --> 00:58:56,940
It's just such a bizarre, 
volatile time. 

1097
00:58:56,940 --> 00:59:01,180
And then, of course, my my 
buddies tell me that there's a 

1098
00:59:01,180 --> 00:59:03,580
real possibility that we have no
election at all. 

1099
00:59:04,190 --> 00:59:06,550
That it just that they shut it 
down for some reason. 

1100
00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:08,710
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1101
00:59:09,710 --> 00:59:13,430
Are people in the the JSIP JSIX 
camp talking about these 

1102
00:59:13,430 --> 00:59:15,990
potential forks in the road in 
front of them and what that 

1103
00:59:15,990 --> 00:59:20,430
might mean for them? 
No, I, you know, I don't know 

1104
00:59:20,430 --> 00:59:24,110
that that we've we've had a lot 
of talk about that. 

1105
00:59:25,270 --> 00:59:27,630
But I think it's it's something 
that we do need to talk about 

1106
00:59:27,630 --> 00:59:30,270
for sure. 
Because all those outcomes are 

1107
00:59:30,270 --> 00:59:32,430
going to have, they're going to 
have big implications for all 

1108
00:59:32,430 --> 00:59:35,520
their cases. 
I think, yeah, that that's 

1109
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,840
really I I think most people 
have have accepted the the 

1110
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,440
reality that that's really the 
only way that that we're going 

1111
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,760
to get these people out. 
You know, we, we know we can't 

1112
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,480
win in the courtroom. 
And I I implore people to come 

1113
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,760
sit in on these trials because 
these courtrooms are empty. 

1114
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,640
I mean, even even for the Proud 
Boys, the the courtroom is not 

1115
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,000
full. 
It's it's crazy. 

1116
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,880
I mean these these are 
historical events. 

1117
01:00:02,380 --> 01:00:07,940
And play a huge role in in what 
our future looks like and and 

1118
01:00:07,940 --> 01:00:09,740
people are not. 
You know, all you have to do is 

1119
01:00:09,740 --> 01:00:12,700
come to the courthouse, come on 
in there and listen because it 

1120
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:15,420
it's crazy. 
I mean the the jury selection, 

1121
01:00:15,700 --> 01:00:19,900
wow, that's that's crazy. 
I'll tell you one story. 

1122
01:00:19,900 --> 01:00:23,980
I was sitting through a jury 
selection for that that went on 

1123
01:00:24,140 --> 01:00:31,010
for a couple of days and you 
know it was it was 11 candidate 

1124
01:00:31,010 --> 01:00:34,090
after another coming up to the 
stand and and the the judge 

1125
01:00:34,090 --> 01:00:39,730
going through the the barge or 
the questioning you know they 

1126
01:00:39,730 --> 01:00:43,850
would she would say you know did
you live or work near the 

1127
01:00:43,850 --> 01:00:47,170
capitol on on January 6th. 
And and most of them yes. 

1128
01:00:47,410 --> 01:00:50,130
And these people all they all 
work for the government because 

1129
01:00:50,130 --> 01:00:55,210
that's who lives in DC so we've 
got Homeland Security we we've 

1130
01:00:55,290 --> 01:01:02,580
had a AJ6 federal prosecutor 
that they tried to sneak on but 

1131
01:01:02,580 --> 01:01:04,660
anyway they they were coming up 
to the same one after another 

1132
01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:08,340
and and they'll openly admit I 
I'm I'm far left-leaning 

1133
01:01:08,340 --> 01:01:12,980
politically and and the judges 
get get so frustrated that they 

1134
01:01:12,980 --> 01:01:16,360
can't find anybody that that 
might be suitable to sit on this

1135
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,360
jury so they start trying to 
talk him into it. 

1136
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,800
You you can you can overlook 
that can't you. 

1137
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,640
You can you can look beyond your
political feelings and and can't

1138
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:25,400
you. 
You can. 

1139
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:31,240
I know you can So so this was 
going on one after and and then 

1140
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,920
and then A and they're and 
they're mostly like, you know 

1141
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,840
you've got the the young white 
liberals and you've got the 

1142
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,540
older white liberals. 
And then and then we had a a 

1143
01:01:42,620 --> 01:01:44,780
woman come to the stand. 
She was a black woman I would 

1144
01:01:44,780 --> 01:01:48,820
guess she was probably in her 
early 60s and and the judge says

1145
01:01:48,820 --> 01:01:52,580
you know did you live or or or 
work near the Capitol on January

1146
01:01:52,580 --> 01:01:55,380
6th. 
And and she says, she says, 

1147
01:01:55,380 --> 01:01:59,820
well, yes, I I was there and the
judge said what what were you 

1148
01:01:59,820 --> 01:02:02,740
doing there? 
And she said, well, I was there 

1149
01:02:02,740 --> 01:02:06,940
to use my free speech to protest
against a stolen election. 

1150
01:02:12,300 --> 01:02:17,060
The judge was just in shock, you
know, so because they, she had 

1151
01:02:17,060 --> 01:02:21,540
let so many other, you know, 
politically far leaning left 

1152
01:02:21,540 --> 01:02:27,060
people on, she had to allow this
woman to, to be on the jury. 

1153
01:02:27,060 --> 01:02:29,500
But of course, the the 
government struck her down. 

1154
01:02:29,540 --> 01:02:30,980
You know, I think that was their
first strike. 

1155
01:02:30,980 --> 01:02:32,260
Yeah. 
No, she's not. 

1156
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:35,620
But if she she exited the 
courtroom and she walked by us 

1157
01:02:35,620 --> 01:02:39,580
in the gallery and we all said 
God bless you and and the 

1158
01:02:39,740 --> 01:02:42,760
prosecutor, I mean if you use 
the word God in these 

1159
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,520
courtrooms, they flip out and 
and we said it quietly just as 

1160
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,320
she walked by us. 
But the the prosecutor is you 

1161
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:53,400
know, oh your Honor, you know 
they're talking to the jury and 

1162
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:59,040
so the the judge had to you know
clear the rules that that we 

1163
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,160
couldn't tamper with the with 
the jury. 

1164
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,000
Yeah, stop tampering with the 
jury. 

1165
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,160
With a basic blessing. 
That happens for everybody who 

1166
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:09,120
sneezes in America. 
Even people that don't believe 

1167
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,060
in God say that. 
Yeah. 

1168
01:03:12,460 --> 01:03:14,820
Oh yeah. 
Yeah, we are. 

1169
01:03:14,820 --> 01:03:18,220
So yeah, it's in these, in these
trials. 

1170
01:03:18,340 --> 01:03:20,940
And you know, I think everyone 
should do it. 

1171
01:03:21,860 --> 01:03:24,620
Well, if you're in the area, 
definitely make a take a day. 

1172
01:03:24,780 --> 01:03:27,580
It's a vacation that you will 
probably be able to see 

1173
01:03:27,580 --> 01:03:30,140
something that you can tell your
grandkids about, how strange it 

1174
01:03:30,140 --> 01:03:33,140
is, I'm sure speaking about 
being in the courtroom, you were

1175
01:03:33,260 --> 01:03:35,300
in the courtroom yesterday with 
with Owen. 

1176
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:39,020
Is that is that true? 
I I was not in the courtroom. 

1177
01:03:39,060 --> 01:03:43,780
I I arrived when he was done and
he was outside giving a presser 

1178
01:03:43,780 --> 01:03:45,260
right when I right when I walked
up. 

1179
01:03:45,260 --> 01:03:49,180
So I I'm going to put something 
out today that that's that I did

1180
01:03:49,180 --> 01:03:52,660
yesterday on that that was that 
was fantastic. 

1181
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:54,580
I mean he stood out there and 
talked to us for like an hour. 

1182
01:03:56,100 --> 01:04:00,020
But you know, he said what I've 
been saying this whole time is 

1183
01:04:00,020 --> 01:04:03,860
these are first amendments 
cases, every single one of them.

1184
01:04:04,450 --> 01:04:10,130
And his absolutely is because 
they have been listening to 

1185
01:04:10,130 --> 01:04:14,530
everything he said for the past 
five years, every word that he 

1186
01:04:14,530 --> 01:04:16,930
has said. 
And they, you know, he didn't 

1187
01:04:16,930 --> 01:04:20,170
even go inside and they're 
giving him 60 days. 

1188
01:04:20,170 --> 01:04:24,050
I mean, you know, he stood out 
there with Alex Jones, who was 

1189
01:04:24,050 --> 01:04:27,090
doing the most, most of the 
talking, who was telling people 

1190
01:04:27,090 --> 01:04:31,730
not to go inside. 
And they're, they're going after

1191
01:04:31,730 --> 01:04:33,450
him. 
They're going after him hard. 

1192
01:04:34,020 --> 01:04:36,620
Did you hear what Alex was 
saying for all of it, or was 

1193
01:04:36,620 --> 01:04:37,980
that anywhere near where you 
guys were at? 

1194
01:04:39,460 --> 01:04:45,460
No, no, I was not near Alex 
Jones on that day, so I didn't 

1195
01:04:45,460 --> 01:04:48,500
hear what he was saying. 
But from what I've heard, that's

1196
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:50,860
what he was saying from other 
people who have listened to him.

1197
01:04:52,380 --> 01:04:54,380
He was telling people not to go 
inside. 

1198
01:04:56,350 --> 01:04:58,030
Yeah, it's crazy. 
I I called Owen yesterday and 

1199
01:04:58,030 --> 01:05:00,030
gave him my, you know, if 
there's anything we can do to 

1200
01:05:00,030 --> 01:05:02,230
help him, I want to. 
I don't know what it'll be, but 

1201
01:05:02,710 --> 01:05:04,950
it it is amazing to think that 
we are going to jail 

1202
01:05:04,950 --> 01:05:06,350
journalists. 
And he would not be the first 

1203
01:05:06,350 --> 01:05:09,270
one. 
I mean, obviously Sean went to, 

1204
01:05:09,750 --> 01:05:12,910
you know, had to had to plead 
guilty and a lot of these guys 

1205
01:05:12,910 --> 01:05:15,790
have have gone through, you 
know, people who were there for 

1206
01:05:15,790 --> 01:05:17,830
professional purposes who did or
didn't, you know, people who 

1207
01:05:17,830 --> 01:05:19,430
didn't even into the building 
were getting hit with it. 

1208
01:05:19,670 --> 01:05:22,470
And it seemed like Steve Baker's
story to me. 

1209
01:05:22,470 --> 01:05:24,110
I don't know. 
I'm sure you know of Steve 

1210
01:05:24,110 --> 01:05:26,920
Baker. 
His story is it just depends on 

1211
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,760
how you covered it. 
If you were if you put it out 

1212
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,760
there and said the the terrible 
awful no good very bad Trump 

1213
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,040
Republicans were there, then 
your story is okay and your 

1214
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,800
coverage is fine and if you 
didn't then they come after you.

1215
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,280
To me that's shocking that I I 
keep telling people this and 

1216
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,720
it's the it's a sound bite but 
it it's it rings really true. 

1217
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,080
The America that I grew up in 
would invade the America I live 

1218
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,200
in. 
Like when? 

1219
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,680
When did we flip over and become
a tyrannical lunatic? 

1220
01:05:54,210 --> 01:05:56,690
Fringe government that is acting
like a Banana Republic when you 

1221
01:05:56,690 --> 01:06:04,010
think that turnover was you know
I I think COVID moved it along 

1222
01:06:04,010 --> 01:06:08,770
pretty quickly to be honest. 
But but just even Trump coming 

1223
01:06:08,770 --> 01:06:16,330
into office I I I think when 
when Hillary didn't win they 

1224
01:06:16,330 --> 01:06:19,130
they started panicking and 
they're like let's let's turn 

1225
01:06:19,130 --> 01:06:22,250
this up let's put the the pedal 
to the floor. 

1226
01:06:22,490 --> 01:06:23,970
We got to, we got to move this 
forward. 

1227
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,560
It's that may be the case. 
I think people that tell me 

1228
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:32,120
about the FBI say 20/15/2016 was
a breaking point and of course I

1229
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,000
came in at 2016. 
So what do I know? 

1230
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:35,840
All all I knew was what was 
going on and they'd already 

1231
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,520
they'd already decided to to 
surveil a presidential campaign 

1232
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:43,040
and lie on a FISA application. 
So it's it's such a crazy 

1233
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,120
thought coming up, you know 
respecting an organization, 

1234
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:47,800
going to work for it, then 
getting inside of it and seeing 

1235
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,880
it being the opposite. 
I want to ask one more question,

1236
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,720
so maybe kind of a tough one to 
to dig into. 

1237
01:06:53,140 --> 01:06:55,700
Jake Lang has reached out to me 
in the same way that you were 

1238
01:06:55,700 --> 01:06:58,140
talking about multiple different
phone numbers, text messages 

1239
01:06:58,140 --> 01:07:02,340
from not the same phone, and 
apparently does a podcast from 

1240
01:07:02,340 --> 01:07:05,220
inside the DC jail. 
You have a read on what Jake 

1241
01:07:05,220 --> 01:07:07,860
Lang's about that you're willing
to talk to. 

1242
01:07:09,380 --> 01:07:11,340
No comment. 
That makes as much sense as 

1243
01:07:11,340 --> 01:07:12,700
anything else. 
I'll comment on it on my 

1244
01:07:12,700 --> 01:07:15,580
thoughts later then that'll be 
fine. 

1245
01:07:15,580 --> 01:07:18,980
That's not, that's not my my 
concern, but I did, yeah, it 

1246
01:07:18,980 --> 01:07:21,270
says what it is. 
All right, folks, I don't want 

1247
01:07:21,270 --> 01:07:23,150
to dig any deeper and I 
definitely don't want to put you

1248
01:07:23,150 --> 01:07:24,910
in the hole with the people that
you're reporting on. 

1249
01:07:24,910 --> 01:07:28,030
If you have interest in people 
who are defending themselves 

1250
01:07:28,030 --> 01:07:31,190
against J6 from the spectrum 
that goes from bad and nefarious

1251
01:07:31,190 --> 01:07:34,950
actors grifting a lot of money 
to people who are probably some 

1252
01:07:34,950 --> 01:07:36,950
of the worst political prisoners
in the United States at this 

1253
01:07:36,950 --> 01:07:39,750
point, you can definitely check 
out Mel stuff. 

1254
01:07:39,830 --> 01:07:43,230
And her things are are down. 
Her social and her website are 

1255
01:07:43,230 --> 01:07:45,030
down in our show notes. 
I'm pointing down where you 

1256
01:07:45,030 --> 01:07:46,190
can't see Mel, but that's what 
I'm doing. 

1257
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,320
To where the show notes are, 
anything that you'd like to 

1258
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,280
leave as a parting message for 
people as A and do you have any 

1259
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,200
hope that you've seen coming out
of any of this? 

1260
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:02,840
I think one of the biggest 
struggles we have is being able 

1261
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,120
to fund this. 
The left just seems to have as 

1262
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,380
much money as they need. 
You know, as we saw when they 

1263
01:08:10,380 --> 01:08:13,820
were, when they were bailing 
people out who were who were 

1264
01:08:13,820 --> 01:08:16,580
just getting, you know a slap on
the wrist and a $50 ticket. 

1265
01:08:17,260 --> 01:08:24,859
But these these these cases are 
not they're not easy to to fight

1266
01:08:25,020 --> 01:08:29,300
and and they take a lot of time 
and and we've got quite a few 

1267
01:08:29,540 --> 01:08:34,420
not as many as we need attorneys
who are really fighting hard and

1268
01:08:34,420 --> 01:08:38,130
who are doing this for you know 
pretty much nothing I mean 

1269
01:08:39,450 --> 01:08:43,729
barely barely getting by you 
know taking on so many cases and

1270
01:08:44,529 --> 01:08:48,370
we really do need help on that 
end to to fight these in the 

1271
01:08:48,370 --> 01:08:50,850
courtroom because because even 
if even if we're not going to 

1272
01:08:50,850 --> 01:08:55,090
win these you know cases that 
we've got right now we I think 

1273
01:08:55,090 --> 01:09:00,450
we have a really good chance of 
of winning them in appeals and 

1274
01:09:00,450 --> 01:09:02,250
some of these are going to have 
to go all the way to the Supreme

1275
01:09:02,250 --> 01:09:05,850
Court. 
So you know please do donate to 

1276
01:09:05,850 --> 01:09:12,100
help these these these attorneys
these these law firms and and 

1277
01:09:12,100 --> 01:09:18,819
you can either go to directly to
their Gibson goes and you can 

1278
01:09:18,939 --> 01:09:23,819
you can find links to those. 
There should be a link on my 

1279
01:09:23,819 --> 01:09:27,899
website I think to to where you 
can find some of those but just 

1280
01:09:27,899 --> 01:09:31,340
go to Gibson go and and search 
for it for January 6th or if you

1281
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,880
you know if you watch my 
episodes I always link their 

1282
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,200
gives and goes and these are to 
to help their their legal funds 

1283
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,600
and and as well I mean these 
people they're they're losing 

1284
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:43,800
everything they they're having a
hard time just keeping you know 

1285
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,080
a roof over their heads for 
their families back home and and

1286
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:53,319
food in the pantry and you can 
also go to nclu.org and you can 

1287
01:09:53,319 --> 01:09:59,160
you can give their directly to 
to the John Pierce law fund to 

1288
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:05,230
to help us keep this going. 
So make sure I gave that right. 

1289
01:10:05,230 --> 01:10:13,030
I think it's done NCLU. 
You said nclu.org, nclu.org. 

1290
01:10:13,430 --> 01:10:16,470
So, kind of like ACLU, but not, 
yeah, NCLU. 

1291
01:10:16,670 --> 01:10:19,950
But not, not interested in left 
wing fascism. 

1292
01:10:21,110 --> 01:10:22,990
Exactly, exactly or whatever it 
is. 

1293
01:10:22,990 --> 01:10:27,470
They are the national the law 
union, national constitutional 

1294
01:10:27,470 --> 01:10:30,570
law union. 
Okay, Yeah, Just get involved, 

1295
01:10:30,570 --> 01:10:34,010
get involved. 
I mean, because like I like I 

1296
01:10:34,010 --> 01:10:35,290
said, they're, they're coming 
for us all. 

1297
01:10:35,290 --> 01:10:38,290
So if if we're not fighting for 
these people, you know, it's 

1298
01:10:38,770 --> 01:10:41,250
it's going to be hard in the 
long run. 

1299
01:10:41,770 --> 01:10:44,490
It is going to be hard I think 
either way, but I appreciate 

1300
01:10:44,490 --> 01:10:45,610
that you're out there reporting 
on it. 

1301
01:10:45,690 --> 01:10:48,610
I appreciate that you joined us 
this morning to speak with us 

1302
01:10:48,610 --> 01:10:50,490
and sorry we had some tech 
difficulties but I'm glad we 

1303
01:10:50,490 --> 01:10:52,530
worked out. 
I like this phone option too as 

1304
01:10:52,530 --> 01:10:54,530
a backup. 
This is the audio is great and I

1305
01:10:54,530 --> 01:10:56,850
think people can can walk away 
and hear exactly what you had to

1306
01:10:56,850 --> 01:10:59,620
say and. 
You know, I could do it that way

1307
01:10:59,620 --> 01:11:01,540
too. 
In fact, I I'm not always sure 

1308
01:11:01,540 --> 01:11:03,660
why I have to have a video 
podcast, but it is a thing out 

1309
01:11:03,820 --> 01:11:05,500
there and it definitely gives us
access to RUBBLE. 

1310
01:11:05,500 --> 01:11:08,940
So thanks for joining us people.
You can support Mel. 

1311
01:11:09,100 --> 01:11:13,300
And yeah, thanks for all you do 
and and and thanks for doing the

1312
01:11:13,300 --> 01:11:16,380
right thing. 
And I I really appreciate you 

1313
01:11:16,380 --> 01:11:17,980
having me on. 
It's it's quite an honor, Kyle. 

1314
01:11:18,220 --> 01:11:19,940
Well, it's my pleasure. 
Thanks for thanks for making the

1315
01:11:19,940 --> 01:11:22,020
time. 
We will have more guests like 

1316
01:11:22,020 --> 01:11:23,140
this. 
Folks, if you liked what you 

1317
01:11:23,140 --> 01:11:25,180
heard, by all means share this 
stuff. 

1318
01:11:25,260 --> 01:11:27,100
Make sure you are liking it on 
Rumble. 

1319
01:11:27,690 --> 01:11:29,770
That is my new job. 
I say things like that instead 

1320
01:11:29,770 --> 01:11:32,050
of telling people that I come 
from the FBI. 

1321
01:11:32,050 --> 01:11:34,170
It's kind of a weird world that 
I live in here, but we do stream

1322
01:11:34,170 --> 01:11:38,130
the show live from Liberty Hill,
TX at 9:30 Eastern Time, 8:30 

1323
01:11:38,210 --> 01:11:40,090
Central. 
It is a live show, so sometimes 

1324
01:11:40,090 --> 01:11:42,810
it has all the fun of a live 
show, which is to say connection

1325
01:11:42,810 --> 01:11:44,290
issues. 
Thanks for sticking around for 

1326
01:11:44,290 --> 01:11:47,770
all of that folks. 
You can follow me on on Twitter 

1327
01:11:47,770 --> 01:11:51,140
at Kyle Serafin or. 
You can go to the link in our 

1328
01:11:51,140 --> 01:11:54,140
description and leave us a 5 
star review on Apple, and we 

1329
01:11:54,140 --> 01:11:55,740
really appreciate when you guys 
do. 

1330
01:11:56,220 --> 01:12:01,660
This one's review comes in from 
Kay Mage saying Awesome patriot 

1331
01:12:01,660 --> 01:12:03,420
Five star. 
Kyle, thank you for all you're 

1332
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:06,100
doing to point out the false 
idols of this world and help 

1333
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:09,820
redirect us to the truth. 
We all need to educate our 

1334
01:12:09,820 --> 01:12:12,900
friends who are lost in the 
world and to see the bigger 

1335
01:12:12,900 --> 01:12:15,670
meanings of life. 
And community based in God. 

1336
01:12:15,670 --> 01:12:18,430
Well, I 100% agree with that and
I am very grateful that you 

1337
01:12:18,430 --> 01:12:21,670
liked our idolatry episode. 
It's it's something we should 

1338
01:12:21,670 --> 01:12:24,070
all be real cautious of. 
And people like Gerritel Boyle 

1339
01:12:24,070 --> 01:12:26,870
have been out there keeping me 
honest and aware and paying 

1340
01:12:26,870 --> 01:12:30,030
attention to the biblical 
significance of the spiritual 

1341
01:12:30,030 --> 01:12:31,150
battle that I think we're all 
in. 

1342
01:12:31,150 --> 01:12:33,910
And people like Mel Halle, my 
guest today, are in that 

1343
01:12:33,910 --> 01:12:35,350
spiritual battle. 
They're out there trying to give

1344
01:12:35,350 --> 01:12:36,870
you the truth. 
You got to figure it out for 

1345
01:12:36,870 --> 01:12:38,310
yourself. 
You got to go out there and read

1346
01:12:38,310 --> 01:12:41,230
and listen to what what is being
said and make some good 

1347
01:12:41,230 --> 01:12:42,750
discerning things and pray about
him for sure. 

1348
01:12:43,450 --> 01:12:46,290
Folks, you can follow this show 
on the the video channel which 

1349
01:12:46,290 --> 01:12:49,290
is rumble.com/kyle Serafin or 
you can share it on Apple, 

1350
01:12:49,450 --> 01:12:52,370
Spotify, iHeartRadio and so on 
and by all means leave us a 5 

1351
01:12:52,370 --> 01:12:53,770
star review. 
We will read yours. 

1352
01:12:53,770 --> 01:12:56,210
I want to say thanks to the hard
work of Ryan Matta who was out 

1353
01:12:56,210 --> 01:12:58,530
there working in the background 
making sure this thing was 

1354
01:12:58,530 --> 01:13:00,970
coming together and we do want 
to thank all of our sponsors if 

1355
01:13:00,970 --> 01:13:02,810
you do need any of the things 
that are listed there. 

1356
01:13:02,810 --> 01:13:04,970
If you want to get information, 
go to Catholic Vote. 

1357
01:13:04,970 --> 01:13:07,250
If you want to get a Tumblr or a
hard cooler or something like 

1358
01:13:07,250 --> 01:13:10,410
that, check out Patriot coolers.
If you want that merch, Kyle. 

1359
01:13:10,740 --> 01:13:14,100
I'm sorry, it's the space. 
It's the Dash suspendables.com. 

1360
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:15,740
You can tell that I'm starting 
to glitch too. 

1361
01:13:16,020 --> 01:13:17,500
I might have some Mitch 
McConnell in me today. 

1362
01:13:17,740 --> 01:13:21,900
Thedashsuspendables.com for 
Gerda Boyle stuff and it 

1363
01:13:21,900 --> 01:13:25,220
supports the suspendables Folks,
we will see you again tomorrow. 

1364
01:13:25,620 --> 01:13:27,900
Tomorrow is Thursday, so that 
means I'm going to be talking to

1365
01:13:27,900 --> 01:13:30,580
Mike Benz about the CIA getting 
involved in the messaging 

1366
01:13:30,580 --> 01:13:33,380
campaigns and CIA cutouts. 
Don't miss that. 

1367
01:13:33,580 --> 01:13:35,580
Definitely stick around for Mike
Benz tomorrow.

And until then, I hope you have 
a wonderful day and y'all be
