1:48 and just briefly introduce yourself and then I'm going to play what the news media said about you and let's see what they said then and what they're going to be saying now um after pardons because as you all know just to kind of give you a little background Edward I've been interviewing um January 6th um hostages and people caught up in the system since 2020 or 2021 sorry when my mom actually went to the capl herself as a 70y old woman she saw Capitol Police out back laughing jovial um inviting people in and I said
2:29 if I if ticket had not been over $1,700 I would have probably been a Nancy Pelosi seat myself thank God I wasn't um and I was was here and able to interview um different people like yourself but thank you for holding the line and Edward please tell us tell us about your experience uh hi chrisy U great to meet you um just to clarify real quick so I was technically pardon last night uh I still had a misdemeanor on my record that I was doing probation for but I was actually released from prison in September of last year a few months
3:07 ago um because the Supreme Court overturned the 1512 charge originally I was sentenced to 51 months and when the Supreme Court overturned the 1512 uh I was um uh I had to file for bail pending appeal and all this stuff and and you know the government came back with all these requests for extension yeah go ahead Edward we're we're getting some feedback on the SP like mute mute your spaces here's what we're gonna do everybody I'm gonna mute everybody on Spaces Edward even you and I'm gonna try to let the feed come through my computer
3:46 system you might have muted yourself because I can't hear you there you go can you hear me now yeah okay um if I mute you I'm curious if it um if you'll mute yourself really quick on Spaces oh yeah yeah sorry yeah just try that and let's see if that works okay now let's try and see if everybody if you guys can give us a thumbs up if it works we're actually trying several different things on different channels if you'll give us a thumbs up and make sure that everybody can hear that would be great yeah they're saying that that's much better at oh so they they can hear me through your yes thing okay okay cool
4:29 it's sound like I'm speaking the entire time you guys but this is really Edward it's visible on YouTube so we've kind of figured that out for some reason it gets feedback I can't even even when I'm try to mute myself so it's kind of interesting if those of you out there trying to stream everywhere just you're just gonna have to go through the host um and for now anyway until Elon gets that fixed okay continue on Edward I I just wanted to make sure everybody could hear you yeah so you know when the Supreme Court return the 1512 charge um that was like
5:03 my main felony I had a conspiracy to do a 1512 like two felonies in one and um so basically when the 1512 was overturned my conspiracy charge fell apart we we filed for the bail pending appeal government filed for an extension 30-day extension and of course the judge granted it and they waited till the very last day to come and tell my lawyer um we are not even going to fight his appeal we're just going to vacate the charges but they they they left the misdemeanor on my record the trespassing and so I'm still doing probation for that well I was and now Trump pardoned us so that's that's
5:50 that's over with and thank thankfully because it wasn't just like regular probation I had to pay restitution every month I had to do community service which was ridiculous uh and I was banned from DC I was banned I I was banned from going near Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Nome and Joe Biden and KLA Harris like just all these stupid crazy little things that my judge threw in there because she was really angry at me because I argued with her at sentencing um and you know so but ever since I got released even before like this entire time I've been trying to speak out as much as possible and and uh getting active like I've been
6:30 you know doing activism since 2020 since the co days uh and um so I'm I'm not going to stop this this just like the whole reason why they came after us the way they did really was to try to silence us and then show other people like this is what is going to happen to you if you speak out if you try to you know act like this country belongs to you with the people which it does but if you actually believe it and act on it we're going to destroy your lives and so um I'm I'm not going to let them you
7:03 know uh have that Victory and you know and I also want to say like prayer really works like so so when I was in in jail you know I read the Bible many times I would pray every day people would send me letters of them praying um and uh and we just started winning like Trump's cases started getting overturned left and right we our case got overturned the 15 12 uh you know we had all this momentum going into the election the Democrats fell apart we won in a landslide you know first time that ever that not ever but the first time in
7:41 like decades that the Republicans won the popular vote you know it was like his mandate is is undeniable and I was actually getting a little worried like you know I was checking in on the inauguration here and there and the ceremonies and stuff and I was like I was worried like is he is he going to be like not doing the pardons you know and because he said day one and then he and I saw that video of him saying well no he has to wait to go to the White House to Oval Office and he's goingon to do it there today and then sure enough he did so you know it's just it's a good start
8:12 to the promises made Promises Kept I think um we're really starting off the administration with a bang and I'm really happy yeah that's and and listen I was super grateful as well um in terms of of what muted for me again um yeah I don't know why am I muted for you now can you hear me now no did you mute yourself no I'm unmuted this is strange this is strange I'm gonna take myself out is that better can you hear me now no hear you for some reason Kay says she can't hear you in the spaces either oh you can hear her yes that's
9:10 you how is that possible I just heard her okay um yeah this is interesting Caitlyn you can hear me yes okay okay I can hear you fine Edward I just can't I didn't touch anything you know was he in her my mic oh now I can hear you okay there you go okay okay perfect okay great yeah I was I was actually saying um in terms of what the the pardons themselves one of the biggest things that I've been concerned about is your pardons like all of your Pardons and um I was even concerned about him the him
9:51 going to the White House even the trip to the White House to make these pardons considering Joe Biden pardoned the j6 commission during Trump's speech um it was not known yeah is absolutely not known or or just before his speech which tells us everything that we need to know everybody because I'm going to tell you we've all had family members a lot of people have lost their entire families over this whether they were involved or not I mean there are j6 hostages that um wives left them children left them wouldn't speak to them so Edward first of all what I want to tell you is you know human the human spirit is a great
10:33 thing so tell us about you before you became a j6 hostage like were you a normal guy working a job what what were you doing I was working yeah um build cabinets um I've done many jobs though throughout my life um but my first like introduction into into politics uh was actually in 2018 I was going to college and I Young Americans for Liberty which is a Libertarian like college group uh and you know so I had a little bit of political training I went to uh Leadership Institute Training and this and stuff like that but uh and then but when covid came around right the co lockdowns U you know I would see you
11:21 know I'm in I'm in Los Angeles so there's the Beverly Hills Freedom rally was was starting up here and it was it was about you know against the co tyranny that we were going through and uh I would see like antifa show up and and attack assault people and and the Patriots would fight back but it was like you know it antifa was very violent and aggressive so I wanted to show up and and and you know stand with Patriots and and you know have my voice heard as well and so my first uh protest that I went to was in I think May of 2020 uh I had one time I had gone to a Ben Shapiro
12:00 event actually in 2019 which was the first time I actually saw antifa and they were just like rabid ridiculous like crazy people uh they they were not interested in dialogue they would just scream at everybody that was there but um but in Earnest it started in in in May of 2020 and yeah eventually so I would always like I was very loud with with the loudspeaker and stuff I would like try to troll people and laugh at people that were go like uh criticizing us and screaming at us and so I had a lot of fun with that but So eventually uh you know the
12:38 the antifa presence would got greater and greater to the point where in October 31st on October 31st of 2020 on Halloween um they showed up with like 50 people all dressed in like paramilitary gear um and they were they started assaulting my friend Lisa Simpson uh and I tried to like intervene um I was just I just got the attention off of her onto me like I wasn't attacking them or anything and and then sure enough they started jumping me and and then I F I fought back and I you know eventually the cops finally stepped in they were all standing there watching for like five minutes uh and then you could find the
13:21 video of that on YouTube it's called Uh antifa versus Wonder woman because Lisa was dressed like Wonder Woman handing them out flowers when they started assaulting her she's like very she's very nice person but uh so that was like really I wouldn't say radicalized me but it made me very angry like these people are um you know enemy I would consider them enemy combatants on us soil they're like re actual domestic terrorist uh and they get treated like they're just like some spoiled angry kids or something or like some angry college kids when really they're actually very dangerous threat to our country yeah that's the video right there so so what they've done and and let's
14:02 explain this to the public because I mean I feel like you know people were in a were were in such a information war that it's been actually very confusing for the regular citizen because of the mainstream media failing to report the truth I mean here you've got a lady that let's just call her the flower child you know Wonder Woman flower child against what looks like I mean anti for themselves I mean look they're the ones with their faces covered and all black and and it look very radical but yet they the mainstream media I feel like have made it out as though you know the
14:41 other side you know the opposite side of what we are is what they are and this and this is directly out of the Communist Playbook as well to use a tactic where you call somebody something that you are actually doing I for I forget the exact term somebody may know the the dial the the term well it comes from rules of Rules for Radicals that which is what they really study it's like Hillary Clinton's favorite book uh and yeah it's accuse your enemy of what you're doing that's that's like one of their The Rules for Radicals is to do that uh and absolutely that's what they
15:14 do up all the way up until j6 and still to this day like all their accusations against us is really who they are um so like they'll accuse us of being racist right but really everything that they do is based on race and and categorizing and and segregating people by race uh and you know this idea of like white supremacy really it comes from the left when they say that like white people are are better than or have more privilege or however they want to couch it in in in uh terms that make us I'm not well
15:50 I'm not white but make white people seem like they're oppressors when really they're actually a global minority but but anyway uh so um and then they'll they'll say that like uh we're War mongers right and then they'll support Wars like in the Ukraine war for example so when it's when it's a something that's you know for pushing one of their causes all of a sudden it's okay but when when when let's say if we wanted to fight a war that was like actually righteous they would say oh you're warmongers you're this and that but so in everything like uh they'll say that we I actually had a debate with a
16:30 leftist once and he goes like you know we have to take down the bureaucracy and this and that I'm like did you just say bureaucracy like do you realize who the bureaucracy in this country is you know what bureaucracy is it's it's like the epitome of Marxism it's when government bureaus unelected bureaucrats control the people which happens in Marxist countries and then what they're trying to do here in America so so and so what actually what I was yelling at them here when I I was trying to distract them I was like communism is dead Marxism is dead I was like laughing at them and that that's what got their attention
17:02 onto me uh but yeah it's ridiculous like their their belief system makes no sense and and as of late I still go to the B Le Freedom rally I was just there last night it's still going on every pretty much every Saturday and they don't show up anymore they're gone like there's no BLM antifa that I that I've ever seen anymore like in the past several months it's like I guess their their funders and their donors like saw how the the BLM people were grifting that money and and and you know buying themselves houses and mansions and stuff and that
17:36 money seems to have dried up so they they don't show up anymore because they don't have any real beliefs that they actually believe in and they can't debate it uh there's a lot of feds in their ranks like this guy we're looking at right now uh is like textbook looks like a Fed uh but but yeah they had so and and they don't they don't even try to like stop the feds like they don't I don't know if they don't realize or they like coordinating with the government but like this guy right here too pretty
18:02 sure he's trying to and notice he's trying to I'm going to actually back this up a bit notice he's trying to actually like he's trying to manhandle her right here I mean it's obvious he's trying to manhandle her like I mean she's walking in public push her yeah yeah so same with him and so technically you know and and notice they're the ones again covering their faces she's not covering her face she's trying to actually like yeah and and see she doesn't buy into it so they don't know what to do yeah she's when yeah but when
18:35 you're nice and you know I mean and this is this is the truth I mean they don't they really don't know what to do when you know when when we know what to do they they will do anything they can to try to dismantle any goodness that somebody's tried to bring forth um so you know angle it focuses a lot on her and then it doesn't show the buildup to me getting jumped but it's going to jump to that like once the fighting actually starts it's the he he quickly switches over the camera yeah like pretty much right here
19:09 um and so okay I guess I can narrate it real quick so they had they were trying to yank on my flag multiple times and I punched the dude you want me to you want me to play the Audio I can play the audio if you want yeah so they were they were trying to steal my flag away in a like like a very aggressive way so I punched one of the dudes that was doing that and they started surrounding me and walking me down and this guy keeps trying to pepper spray me this guy with the helmet keeps
19:33 trying to pepper spray me and every time he yeah so I'm saying he has a mace like he has a mace because a week a week before this they had arrested my buddy for trying to pepper spray antifa okay the cops notice but I want everybody to notice something if I might interrupt you Edward they're walking towards you you're backing up absolutely okay you are backing up everybody look and and when you're backing up you're not going towards them they're coming towards you like this is like we have to start paying attention as Americans I mean I and I and I hate to interrupt to even
20:06 say this because we think that it's obvious but to some people it's not obvious I mean the media did not make that obvious no the the attorneys did not make these things obvious I mean I'm just gonna say I've listened to a lot of the court cases and I'm like it's obvious you should have said look they're attacking my client they my client's not attacking them you know you're trying to defend yourself you're trying to get them away from you utilizing your FL when they're so close but otherwise they're they're they're the ones the these are the aggressors these are the attackers and yes some of them have been fed some of
20:45 them have been FBI and I think probably former CIA and um police I think a lot of these guys may have been off-duty police themselves who no when I when I went to the when I went to the police station they had this had video and they're like this was from one of our people that were in the crowd so they know they absolutely have people but uh yeah so um I was I was just trying to point out to the cops that this guy has mace so he get arrested because you're not allowed to have mace at a protest in California uh and but of course they didn't do anything and eventually they
21:17 surrounded me and they started jumping me at this point uh but then I I to protect my my head to not get stomped on I took that guy down you see right there I took him down on the ground and I was holding my head next to his so they wouldn't stomp my head because they hit their own guy you know and then see the cops here pull me off of that that dude uh and out of the like 20 people that punched me uh they only um arrested one person with that hit me with a lead pipe yeah uh but that main guy that you keep seeing that little short dude that that
21:49 I know his name his name is Brian Lightfoot he actually went down to San Diego they did the same thing in San Diego but they they like straight up went and assaulted like Trump old old elderly Trump people that were just like selling merch at tables and stuff and they just came at them with pepper spray and just immediately started assaulting them so finally he got arrested on 11 counts like violent charges um and so yeah San Diego was you know is more conservative so they're not going to be like soft the way these Beverly Hills police are uh with them but luckily this
22:22 day you know they got kicked out of this area and then we got to continue our protest so it was kind of a little bit of a victory I would say you have did you have any kind of wounds or anything like that from yeah yeah if if you maybe if you skip towards the end of the video you'll see like my face because I I'm like cheerful but I'm giving an interview to the camera and yeah you can see like I had a couple bruises on my face but they didn't even give me a nose bleed or they didn't even bust my lip and they hit me like 50
22:54 times and I was training U mu Thai at this time so I was like used to getting punched in the face I wasn't like you know rocked at all like concussed or anything um yeah just mostly on my forehead was just bruised up but I thought it was funny like like to me like there's I I just I there's so pathetic and disgusting like I I I and I never try to let them like uh make me feel like I'm sad or despair or like oh whoa is me or the victim even in this j6
23:24 persecution this whole time I like I was not miserable and and despair at at any point um so okay so tell us about j6 like okay so this is three days this is three days before the election okay oo this is October 31st and then the election happened November well I think it was November 6th actually so it was like five days right or five or six days um so we had an election night party with with all little group of protesters that that we had here um my close friends and uh you know so we're watching the election go down uh you know Trump's
24:03 winning all night so we're we're all happy we're like okay he's got it in the bag and then 3:00 am in the middle of the night uh there's a like 400,000 vote Spike for Biden in Pennsylvania and and all of a sudden he it was just statistically impossible and all of a sudden you know he wins Pennsylvania like and and then sure enough they started stealing it in other states too U with this delayed vote count this because of covid and this mailin ballots supposedly and uh so we were pissed off like what the heck just happened they just stole this election like in front of
24:40 everybody's eyes uh and uh so because we were already worried about them stealing the election using the the co if you remember we were like oh no they're doing they're doing this whole roll out with these mail and ballots like they're going to try to steal election and sure enough they using Zucker bcks using Mark Zuckerberg and a Zucker bucks um to buy all of the to buy all of the mail and ballot centers also um in Miami Dade County they wanted us to wear a mask to vote um you can't see what a person looks like and you cannot identify them with a mask on but they were supposed to be wearing a mask to vote and all while they were
25:18 not allowing Republican voters in the door to vote without a mask on it took me over three and a half hours to vote um without a mask um to the point where I had to call the governor's office um and because even our local Mayors you know both and and I'm talking one during one election we had a republican local mayor um during another election we have a Democrat local mayor neither mayor um but you know that the situation was the same with both of them so you know that's the reason we all have to stay vigilant in in the whole process okay
25:49 continue on so so the the the we believe the election um was allegedly Solen and that's what we will continue to believe no matter we're kicked off of platforms or not um well they admitted it like when they they said they they published articles like how how this the Zucker bucks like you're talking about how they fortified the election so you can call it fortified I guess like the way you add uh vitamin D to milk and now it becomes fortified milk uh because you added ballots into the mix so I guess you fortifi the election technically but there yeah it's been they just when it's it's like okay
26:27 like when we what like the this the great replacement thing right that they that they say is a conspiracy theory or whatever um they the idea came from them bragging about it like when Biden said you know white people are going to be an absolute minority because of immigration as of 2050 or whatever uh but then if you say it all of a sudden it's it's a conspiracy theory because you're against it and they they call themselves globalists literally they literally just they openly call themselves globalists but if you say if you're a conservative and you say they're well they're globalists all of a sudden it's conspiracy theory so uh so they they'll brag about stealing the election and
27:07 then if we say the election is stolen all of a sudden it's a conspiracy theory it's another rules for radical trick that they use yes uh but so whatever the enemy is telling you just for public just for for those of you watching if an enemy is saying that they are doing something you should actually go okay whatever they're saying they are most likely doing because they're they're pointing fingers at another person and that's a typical old political regime you know directly out of Venezuela and Cuba and everything else so yeah they'll say the Catholics oh they're they're pedophiles this and that which there are there are but actually if you look at it statistically
27:46 teachers which are majority Democrat are actually have a higher rate of of assault against children than than the Catholic Church even does so yeah it's just another yeah they're the part continue to send your children there every day you know the public school system and then brainwash them about all kinds of disgusting sodomy and and and transitioning and but but yeah so we were very pissed about the election but we didn't have a plan or anything we weren't like oh we're going to go to the capital now and do this and that we like that that wasn't crossing our minds at all and then we started to see like the
28:21 stop the steel protests that were popping up in in November and December um and you know four proud boys got stabbed by antifa uh there so again it was just like we were just we're facing this constant sort of like discussed and about how this the left was just violently sort of and also the BLM riots too uh we were just like really pissed off that this is was being allowed to happen like this basically communist takeover of this country and uh then Trump said you know he's gonna have a rally at January 6 like you
28:53 know his kind of his his last time he's going to be speaking uh but you know hopeful hoping that you know Mike Pence does the right thing and and sends the votes back to the States and and and then I guess some people were going to challenge uh the vote in Congress which some of them did and which was never addressed which is unconstitutional that they're supposed to even if the proceeding was delayed or whatever they're supposed to address those those challenges and then and they didn't but anyway uh so when when he announced that
29:23 we we decided okay let's we should go because we I never got to see Trump speak uh at any any rally he hadn't come to California um when I was starting to get politically active so um so uh we planned a trip a road trip you know to drive over there and we drove for like 33 hours uh me and like six other people in a van that was rented um and it was like most like a few old people and a few like very young people like 21 22 uh only really me me DJ were my codefendant Danny Rodriguez I think
30:06 he's goingon to be released today he wasn't released last night um he's an MDC but hopefully he'll be released today um let's make let's make sure that we um get a tweet out um and we get a call chain going to the prisons that's what we did last night to um some of the halfway houses because we cannot just assume that they're going to be released so we don't want any man left behind Okay so this is you know these are hostages Trump has confirmed that they're hostages and they've been pardoned they should have been
30:38 immediately released last night up up on this I mean so we we as American people we need to get behind behind whoever that is still um that is still incarcerated or that has an ankle "monitor on whatever they have we need to get behind them and make sure that they are released before the end this day I mean literally I was up until 2: am um" making sure you know sending Tweets sending messages out to attorneys that I knew that were nearby because you know we have to we have to stand together this is not an end you know this is not over let's say yeah no you know when they say they're using this released
31:18 they're using this BS excuse like oh the paperwork hasn't come in or whatever it's like the paperwork is the the pardon paperwork that is the paperwork there's no other paperwork onine yeah that's all it is online y so there were some prisons mostly in the Bop that um Bureau of Prisons that um were good and they realized that so they're whoever is running their prison just like immediately release people as it as it says it's suppos it says it multiple times in the order that's supposed to be immediate released effective immediately like right now um but the D the DC doc
31:55 Department of Corrections is so corrupt and hate us so much because we exposed a lot of like issues that was going on with that prison with that jail the DC jail the goog um and we got a lot of national attention on it you know the Congress people came the US Marshals came and and and they um they forced them to like make a bunch of repairs uh so they really don't like us at that jail and they're all like mostly a lot of people need to understand that the jails are often funded and owned by the very judges that are sending defendants
32:27 to jail so them are their friends they they all yeah they all have their hand in the cookie jar they don't have disclosures many of them don't even have Oaths of offices so which actually in my opinion makes them um an illegal an illegal entity as a whole and and illegal part of their fake Corporation um so that is the reason Trump is calling you guys hostages because that's what it is you're a hostage to a corporation um and a lot of people don't have not realized that as well I'm sorry to interrupt you I just wanted to make sure sometimes like I want to make sure the audience understands exactly what you're
33:08 going through and the process and not only that but what he's also talking about is the the corruption they don't paint the walls they don't have fresh water in some of the jails the mattresses are like what an yeah an inch and a half thick I mean I'm talking about this is in America you guys this is right here in your own backyard um while they're trying to distract you to send money to the Ukraine and everywhere else I mean because they keep funding these same corrupt politicians because judges are politicians they have to run for office so just keep that in mind these are
33:40 politicians and um they are patting each other's pockets and they know that we're going to be coming okay I think this time you did mute yourself because it has a little microphone symbol on your on your name on the streamyard what there we go now I can hear you okay yeah imagine when I'm talking about the prisons and the judges Oaths of office that we've been after that my my microphone would suddenly mute without me even touching it yeah so um yeah because the judges Oaths of office a lot of them don't even have Oaths of office they've not sworn an oath to the US Constitution they have
34:29 sworn an allegiance to their corporation which often times they own and and those are things that will be coming out I feel very confident in the way that your pardons are even worded and that President Trump called you hostages you have been hostages to a corporation um and to a foreign which could be considered a foreign government operating on us soil held for ransom right technically yeah correct and then that is correct because you've been re ired to pay monies that you really shouldn't be owing or are not due um and that has not been in the way of gold or silver um so I think I think there's a lot to be coming out of your cases aside
35:10 from the fact that you know you have been held hostage in terms of of what's here um you know I'm very interested to have some of the attorneys on um to discuss some of the cases to see if you guys have you know what your civil cases are like um because I do think it's you know they've utilized you guys as corporations your name's in all capitalization right against another corporate corporate so there may be a legal entity your legal entity may be able to sue their legal entity um as a whole so it's gonna be a interesting next four years
35:49 um okay so let's get back so j6 you are in front of the capital where are you located uh okay so this this is also a long story I don't know how much time you have but I'll try to get through it quick uh so we went to j6 and and we brought our like the like we brought defensive weapons and and armor whatever paintball gun uh pepper spray uh and all that stuff was in Arlington Virginia where our Airbnb was so it never entered the city of DC the reason we brought defensive gear is because we were watching antifa and proud boys fighting in the street in in you know to stop the
36:28 steel protest and you know I had experience you just saw with being jumped by antifa I didn't want that to happen happen again and I mean not be able to defend myself so we brought stuff but we left it in Airbnb when we went to go see Trump because we figured you know if there was going to be any fighting that was going to happen from mantifa it would be at night because all the other times had happened at night uh and so we went to the the Trump speech completely unarmed with nothing on us uh and um so I was afraid because the crowd was so massive it was like I would say
37:01 easily over a million people you know I was afraid I was not going to be able to go see Trump uh because the line was so long so I actually like moved the barrier aside and in front of the Secret Service they saw me do it they didn't care uh and cut the line so I could so I could get in and um I got paded down by the Secret Service and I was able to to get in and go watch Trump and I was actually able to be like right next to the stage uh like 20 fet away from him and you know it was a great speech
37:33 uh very inspiring and empowering but you know even in that crowd right there I started to notice there was people there that were not Patriots like I was standing in front of these two dudes that were just were pretty much ignoring Trump they kept talking to each other and on their jackets they're wearing black jackets with like red communistic sort of imagery on it like communist like War imagery um and I was like hm and and they look like soy boys and I was like these guys are not there's the way there's no way that these guys are patriots
38:03 um and then he said you know let's March peacefully and patriotically to the capital um and at that point my my my um Spidey senses were tingling a little bit because I I was like wait a second I don't see any antifa counter-protest in us but they were here I know they're in DC for sure so you know is it possible that they're you know trying to infiltrate the crowd uh it' be like agent provoca tours so I was already thinking that at that point and you know cuz CU a lot of people this was like their first rally the vast majority of J Sixers this like their
38:37 first time they ever been to a rally uh not all of them really had experience with antifa before so they don't know how evil and how violent and what their tactics really are uh and so I kind of I don't know I don't I wouldn't say a leader but I kind of saw myself as someone that you know has a little bit of of knowledge when it comes to this with act activism and protesting and stuff so I need to like try to have a little sense a bit of responsibility you know to make sure everything is like
39:07 cool um and when we were marching over to the capital you know I didn't see any there was no like usually when there's a March the police will have lines set up right and and they'll like guide the crowd to where they're going to go they have loudspeakers and they're very like they make sure that the crowd like marches in a safe Manner and a safe route even today yesterday when we did the Beverly Hills uh March for example um you know there was officers marching with us and making sure like we all you know obey the laws and we walk in the sidewalk and like protect us from any violence or from you know anything
39:38 breaking out so that's a normal protocol for them to do that but there was nothing none of that the crowd is just walking towards the capitol you know most most of the people were peaceful but I started seeing some people were just like trying to shove their way through the crowd and get to the front and they're dressed in black they're not even pretending to be Trump supporters a lot of them um and so I tried to follow one of them and I I I couldn't I lost him in the crowd he was like really
40:03 shoving his way through people and I wasn't going to shove you know Patriots but so I ended up more towards the front of the of the magga crowd the actual magga crowd that arrived after you know other people were already there um and and so when the actual the people from the Trump speech came we had no idea that there was already the so-called breach right uh of of the barriers that that the cops had retreated back into the building um and actually when you look at the videos the two of the three times that they retreated was cuz they gassed
40:35 themselves so people like officers like officer ta you could see his body cam video he's like going against the advice of his own Lieutenant telling him hey stop like what are you doing and he's like no give me give me another CS gas bomb do you have rubber bullets like oh he's like looking for like weapons to launch at the crowd indiscriminately and in doing that get the wind actually blew the gas back onto them and you can see the officer oh the other officers like suffocating so they had to retreat that happened two time two separate times because of their own idiocracy yes yeah
41:05 and and so when when the actual Trump crowd arrived around like 2:30 215 230 to the to the building uh all we could see for at the lower I was at the Lower West Terrace all we could see uh is like a sea of people basically like draped over the the steps and and a line of officers standing at the top of the capital uh just like standing there with their rubber bullet guns or whatever uh that you couldn't see there it didn't look like there was any violence going on at all um which I
41:37 don't think there even was at that point uh and and so and my assumption was oh well okay there's obvious they obviously like they are supposed to have set up some type of way where we can March around the building you know I didn't know the layout of the capital I didn't know how it was up there I thought there would be like some pathway that people are you know marching around and and and continuing on right but when I got when I got when I worked my way up there I saw oh there is nowhere to go this entire crowd is arriving hundreds of
42:08 thousands of people and there's nowhere to go they're just like pushed up against the building like what's going to happen here these cops and they had no loudspeakers so when when they when they use lethal non it's called less lethal but it's still lethal they killed four people they killed Benjamin Phillips Kevin gon with gas bombs and rubber bullets and then beat Rosanne Bo to death and and it actually used the actual gun on to kill Ashley babbit which they never pulled a single gun out and the thousands and thousands of BLM riots and antifa riots they never pulled a single gun on them all but an unarmed
42:40 woman veteran just for trespassing they shot and killed her like that's that's crazy but anyway so um they're they're but at this point where I where I was they weren't launching anything yet um I was standing at the top of the bleachers and I'm and I'm I was like worried like you know this that this is going to you know get really bad and I I start I noticed like when I looked down into the into the uh inaugural stage because I I was at the top uh I could see a group of guys near
43:12 the window which is next to the tunnel where rosan Bolan was beaten to death next to that tunnel there's a there's a window on the left side uh and I could see these guys trying to like break the window and and one dude is like standing on the window with a sledgehammer uh an actual giant like Sledgehammer okay he's like trying to smash the window if you you can actually you can see the marks of the sledgehammer if you look at the it's a video called Edward ballion disarms Capital window breaker on YouTube okay U
43:44 so this is like yeah this video basically shows this where I'm at in the story right now okay um so this guy's breaking the the window with the sledgehammer and the other Trump supporters the actual ones detain him and they like crowd surf his Sledgehammer away and they have him like held up by his arms and legs and he's not this guy's not even trying to wear Trump gear he's like Terri and that's relevant for reason I'll let you know in a sec um so I W I walked down the bleachers and I I walk past this scene where they have this guy held up and and
44:17 uh he has like a little Beret hanging out of his pocket and I'm like uh I look at he looked like a leftist to me so I'm like put put his hat on and they put his hat on and it was and he looked he just looked like the spitting image of like the soy boy leftist like uh uh postmodernist French style you know they have that uh uh dude so then but the the out of this little group of window Breakers uh another guy replaces him so the the next guy has a billy club in his hand and at this point
44:49 the crowd is basically chanting anti fat and you can hear that in the video uh yeah that's the one yeah so I did an I did um an inter interview for Infowars on January 7th on the way back from the capital where you know they played this video and they had me walk him through it um so that's me taking could you have gotten into this rally with this with the devices the pick the um the sledgehammer all the things that they were using to break this window because you said you had to go through security and everything earlier correct yes so these people were not at the Trump rally okay uh they couldn't not have
45:31 been um you couldn't have had any of this stuff they wouldn't have let you in for sure um and I didn't even know that they had that ice pick I hadn't seen it like I they could have like stabbed me but but anyway so um I when I heard them chanting antifa at these guys the crowd you you'll be able to hear in the video too when he plays the full thing uh I I was like pissed off like oh like anti but they did infiltrate us like I suspected and here they are trying to break the windows agitate and make us
46:02 look like we're violent um so I was really pissed off so I I pushed my way through the crowd a little bit and you can see it you can see I pushed my way through the crowd right here so he could do that yeah that's me talking I but I I focused on that guy I grabbed his uh little billy club and I snatched him up in like a half of a rear naked choke uh and then his all his his friends were fake Patriot antifa grabbed me they're what are you doing what are you doing I'm like what I here to SM SM the building we're not here to destroy the property we're here for the Traders we're here to protest the election steel you
46:33 know yeah and so you're saying because that wasn't on footage you're saying there was another guy originally at the front who had a sledgehammer that got identified and removed yeah so if you see that circular crack right next right next to where he's hitting it with the the billy club those like kind of small cracks that he's trying to make with the billy club that circular deep crack that was made by Sledgehammer guy okay okay gotcha yeah yeah so so you talk about this here like yes guys yeah yeah so at the end of this video at the end of my interview I I tell enen I'm like uh because we were looking on Instagram for like you know videos of video footage of
47:11 what was happening and stuff and we found a dude who's admitting that he was paid to Pro paid to pretend to protest and that um he failed he he was he wasn't able to pull it off and it was an organized effort but he can't say who it was and I'm looking at this guy's video I'm like that's Sledgehammer guy that's him I saw this dude breaking the window and it's in that video like at the end of it Owen's people they find that video and they play it live on the live broadcast and and eventually I did my research and found out who this guy was uh and his name is John I'll play it as
47:51 well so that way we can get it on camera yes and then you're gonna I'm gonna have to have you back Edward um because we're at the top of the hour so I've got I've got got another interview coming in but I want to make sure to have you back but let's play same guy great to go because he like one adting allegedly this guy admitting he was paid to go out there and start violence so here's the video we mentioned earlier roll it leader McCarthy leer in the house said to us he I uh I just left the
48:30 protest at the Capitol building and I uh got a big bruise on my leg I had a difficult time pulling off the act that I was paid to do and uh I'm making this video because I want to confess that I was paid also told them to come and be wild and I hope that's not too philosophical to pretend to protest "[Music]" today I can't say by who but I will just say that it's a organized effort you know I wonder where he is in DC it looks like almost like an official government building he's in the basement
49:22 of yep yep we're we're we're going to have to leave it at there because that's exactly listen Edward that's what I believe I know that's what you guys believe want don't you wrap us up and and and tell everybody where to follow you and I definitely want to have you back I would like to have you back as a co-host interview even some of the other J Sixers I know that all of you guys know each other you've created a community so I'm gonna put you in a group and if anybody's available I want to invite you
49:53 to come on because I just want to make sure that we get everybody's story because it's it's very important um I want to bring something forth that you mentioned earlier which is Leadership Institute which is a great program um that people can follow it's very conservative and um helps people get their conservative mindset values and and even helps people learn to run for office which is fantastic so Ed tell us about you now what are your plans um what are you gonna do so actually out of the DC goog me and my uh close friend uh John melis fellow J sixer uh we started
50:31 a podcast you know with the the evidence laptops that still had a a camera working on and we were able to record inside the prison and so uh we we started interviewing J Sixers there in the prison it's called the the DC gulg podcast you can find it on we are good men channel on Rumble um or we areg goodman.com and that's John's uh website but yeah you can see we we're basically because so many of us were silenced and are deplatformed and and and you know take our voices were taken away so we want to give all the J Sixers and people in the j6 community too that have stood up for us I would say the real heroes uh a
51:11 voice uh so that's that's what I'm you know uh trying to promote and and and have as many J Sixers come on especially now that everyone's pardoned we're gonna have a lot of people on so it's very exciting um I gonna say and now you guys can tell your stories because there are so many things that people could not say um I know even with my mom's old story you know there were times I would actually take it off of YouTube because I'm like oh my gosh are they gonna come and you know and raid our house because
51:41 my mom was out back actually talking to a police officer and hearing them laugh and and and be jovial um that they were supposed to um they were they were actually sending people home so it it is it was absolutely from what she heard it was the exact opposite of you know what was going on on the front side so you know um Gabriel's gonna be on later today um there there's nice people Gina's gonna be on later today so yeah yeah that's another thing we're trying to like okay so we're trying to there's a lot of like division kind of in the j6 community because of all the different stuff that happened a lot of drama here
52:24 and there um so like for example Gina she's from Beverly Hills Freedom rally too that's where we met originally before we went to j6 they forced her to testify against me at my trial and uh she was unable to lie on the stand because she's a a Christian woman uh and she was insulted by the judge for that and uh but yeah the charge that they needed her for to stick her testimony fell apart and and was dismissed because she she refused to lie on the stand for for the prosecution and so another thing we want to do is really kind of like reconcile any issues that have occurred in the j6 community
53:02 and unite unite and come together um uh because we'll be much stronger that way rather than you know bickering amongst ourselves uh you know we need to be United because we're only what 2,000 people and and our families um you know we can be a very strong force in the Republican party if you know we we unite within each other and then bring that way bring as many people to uh um the movement as possible well one of the things that my focus is Edward is is finding good candidates to run for office as Veterans for America first um
53:36 national press secretary we need good candidates that run for office veterans Fighters men um white men and we need people who you know founding father who are founding fathers would have chosen to um sign the Constitution with not people who are going to bow to a government or bow to a corporation or go are you a veteran um I my grandfather is a veteran and my my brother is still in service right now so I have most of my family members are veterans or are still in service at this very moment um but I am a my grandfather when I wanted to go in the service he said you can do more out than in and my grandfather was um Army
54:21 adese intelligence for JFK he was the one who actually um gave JFK the message that Fidel was about to take over Cuba so wow he was based here in Miami for a while um Mexico City um Africa Ethiopia Bangkok Thailand and many other places so he was a very very wise man that's how you're very intelligent too right right well it kind of helps you know to be able to put the pieces together too and I will go as far to say is we do need people like your we do need the unity amongst the J Sixers and you know and God told me when when I wasn't there that my there was going to be a day he
55:05 said save your voice because don't exhaust yourself because you're GNA need a voice in 2024 and so 20 and so I've I've done several interviews with mostly J Sixers and whistleblowers and um I broke the Dr Fry story um with James O'Keefe I went undercover for James O'Keefe and broke the Dr so that is that is my footage that everybody is seeing where I called Dr Fry Dr Fry so yeah you know we are here the front lines we're not going oh no my camera died sorry but I guess good timing I was about to show you my fouy shirt that I'm wearing right
55:44 now post it on your Twitter and guys make sure I'm gonna make sure to share this I will make sure to also share um Edward's platform and Edward I definitely want to have you back on buddy we'll be in touch and for sure you got a final word for the audience I mean I know we want them to follow we areg goodman.com follow you on Twitter um what else can can they do to support you or support any of any of your efforts I I would say the most important thing is we've won we just won a bunch of battles right but the war really is just beginning I mean what we're facing
56:17 right now is like 100 if not more year plan to to take over and dismantle and Destroy America uh so we have to be focusing on 2026 you know you know we have a we have a majority in the House and Senate but we need it to be much bigger uh and we need it to be with magga candidates with real America first people in office uh no more lukewarm neocon and rhinos so I people need to get active 10 times more active than they were last year like just a full court press and like you said finding candidates for local office or running
56:52 themselves like just you know if you know if you feel like you can be a good leader like please run like you will get the votes if you put into the work with door knocking like Scott presler proved that if you put into the work with door knocking registering people to vote we we have it in the bag you know as long as we keep the election secure when the time comes uh we're going to win every single election because most people are conservative naturally especially families which are the majority of people so uh we can easily expand our majority in 2026 it doesn't have to be one of those situations where you know the president wins and then and then in
57:23 the midterm elections the the other side takes over no why why does it have to be like that we we can just expand our majority even more uh and actually um you know start undoing some of the more difficult you know things that you need a bigger majority in Congress for imagine if we had two-thirds of Congress how what we could get done you know so uh yeah that's just we need to you know get involved in your local Republican parties like I'm a member of the CRA Cal Califoria Republican assembly there's a lot of Republican groups around you guys that you can join uh you can if if they're of
57:56 rhinos and neocons you you can you know root them out little by little um but we need to start now you know we can't just rest on our Laurels now that we've won the election and and Trump's in office like no now it's time to get use that momentum to win even more and more and more absolutely well said Edward um God bless you everybody thank you so much for joining make sure you um subscribe to Patriots perspective.com for truthful news uncensored truth um delivered daily um I am the propaganda Destroyer um Christy Reeves Tasker God bless you thank you so much for
