00:01:28.000 Joining us now is Siaka Masakwai.

00:01:31.000 He's a January 6th defendant.

00:01:33.000 He took a little step into the Capitol, step out, boom, air marshals tracked him, raided his home, and arrested him.

00:01:39.000 This is the current regime.

00:01:40.000 It's anarcho-tyranny.

00:01:42.000 If you rape, if you murder, if you steal, if you the government doesn't care, but if you dare to take a step into the people's house, they will hunt you down and try to destroy your life.

00:01:52.000 Well, we're not going to let that happen.

00:01:54.000 Joining us now is Siaka Masakai.

00:01:55.000 Siaka, welcome back to the program.

00:01:57.000 Good to see you, my friend.

00:01:59.000 All right.

00:01:59.000 What is the latest news that you have regarding January 6th?

00:02:02.000 And tell your story again, please.

00:02:04.000 Well, so I guess January 6th is we're seeing everything coming out.

00:02:11.000 It just looks like entrapment.

00:02:13.000 I went there January 6th for Trump's speech.

00:02:17.000 Went back to my hotel right after the speech and actually watched online or on TV MSNBC start to kind of say this narrative.

00:02:27.000 And this lady was like, well, you know, it's a sad mood and everything. 1.00

00:02:30.000 And I had just left a group of people laughing and having a good time.

00:02:34.000 So my impetus to go down to the Capitol was to go over there and get behind the camera person and call them liars, pretty much.

00:02:41.000 And when I got down there, you know, I ran into some friends.

00:02:44.000 We started doing an interview.

00:02:46.000 There people are singing a national anthem.

00:02:48.000 And then I just started recording things because I wanted to capture everything that was going on.

00:02:54.000 As you said earlier, walked towards this door that now is the infamous door that everyone broke the glass and went into.

00:03:01.000 I had no idea of this.

00:03:03.000 Walked over to the door.

00:03:04.000 Cops were standing kind of in the front of the or in the archway a little further back where they kind of stopped us from going any further.

00:03:13.000 As you can see, I have footage up and I'm looking around.

00:03:16.000 A cop in riot gear comes out and says, You guys need to go back out.

00:03:21.000 So all right.

00:03:22.000 In the video, you hear me say, We're being reasonable.

00:03:25.000 I turn around and tell everyone behind me, guys, go back the other way.

00:03:28.000 And went around, I went outside, reported a little bit more, and I left.

00:03:33.000 Then in June, on June 10th, 21, 415 agents came into my home around 5:45 in the morning with AR-15s, guns drawn, pointed at myself, my best friend, my godsons, three and six at the time.

00:03:48.000 They took my computer, my cell phones, my flash drives, and my MAGA hats.

00:03:55.000 And then for two years, I was never charged with anything.

00:03:57.000 I wasn't arrested that day.

00:03:59.000 For two years, they've had this stuff.

00:04:00.000 They wouldn't give it back.

00:04:01.000 They still haven't given it back.

00:04:03.000 And on November 30th of 2023, coming back from the movie premiere of Lady Ballers for Daily Wire, landing at Burbank Airport, they arrested me on the tarmac.

00:04:16.000 They separated me from my wife, who we had just recently been married a couple of years earlier and were about to have our first child.

00:04:24.000 And didn't they told her, well, he's being arrested based on January 6th.

00:04:28.000 I spent a night in jail.

00:04:31.000 Praise God.

00:04:31.000 I was able to get out the next day after spending all day locked up and chained from my wrist, ankles, and waist, like a drug trafficker or some type of sex slaver or something.

00:04:44.000 Then now, you know, we've been officially officially charged, arraigned, and charged with four misdemeanors, including knowingly trespassing a restricted area and staying, disorderly conduct in a restricted area, disorderly conduct in the Capitol, and parading in the Capitol.

00:05:01.000 And we pled not guilty on our arraignment.

00:05:05.000 We're citing selected prosecution because after two years of following, tracking, and seeing everything that I've been up to, this is what they decide to charge me with.

00:05:16.000 And yeah, we, you know, this is where the fight is right now.

00:05:19.000 And we're waiting to see if we can get our Brady material and get our 702s to see if they were watching before they had permission to.

00:05:27.000 There's just a now is just going to go through the process of the waiting game.

00:05:31.000 And I got to say, you know, from people like you guys, you personally, and Turning Point and Rob McCoy and Gina Carano, Daily Wired, Jeremy Boring, like the amount of people that have come and surrounded me in this moment, like I think is an example of what we can do for so many other January 6th people that are being plucked in the quiet of the night.

00:05:52.000 You know, they don't have kind of a low platform that I have, but this hopefully can put a message on look what your government's doing to you.

00:05:59.000 We have your back 100%, Siaka.

00:06:01.000 Let's play Cut 78, please.

00:06:03.000 Lazarus.

00:06:04.000 Lazarus.

00:06:05.000 Dave Lazarus, special agent, Nancy Pelosi's head of security.

00:06:11.000 Did Pelosi's security chief perjure himself on the very night of the release of this story?

00:06:17.000 The House has voted to oust the speaker.

00:06:19.000 We lost our speaker of the House moment McCarthy, his seat was vacated.

00:06:23.000 I lost my ability to release the video.

00:06:27.000 We were given permission to use a single screenshot.

00:06:30.000 Therefore, the Honorable Mike Johnson of the state of Louisiana, duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.

00:06:35.000 Of course, now we have a new speaker in place.

00:06:41.000 We now have permission to release the video.

00:06:46.000 Siaka, your reaction, bro, like, um, I actually was fortunate enough to meet Steve Baker at the America Project J6 celebration where we also got to hear the J6 prisoners sing the national anthem live at nine o'clock.

00:07:02.000 It was Charlie, if you haven't heard it yet, it's amazing.

00:07:04.000 And he told me about this story.

00:07:07.000 And when I finally saw it for myself, the first thing that I thought about is who made this employee lie to this level?

00:07:15.000 Because this lie paints a picture of that day that many of us know isn't the full or true picture.

00:07:22.000 So it's not, that's not the guy that made that decision.

00:07:26.000 The employee that works for the Capitol building isn't the one that made a decision to corroborate with a Capitol police officer and make up a story to put people behind jail or put people in jail for a long time in federal prison.

00:07:39.000 So the first thing I think about is we need to find out who made him do this, make this decision.

00:07:45.000 We need to hold him accountable for lying and then putting human beings and fellow Americans behind bars. 0.98

00:07:52.000 Again, federal prison based off a lie.

00:07:55.000 This is very important for everyone.

00:07:57.000 This is not a Democrat or Republican thing because the government is establishing a pattern.

00:08:02.000 The FBI, they're moving on misdemeanors for random people.

00:08:06.000 Steve told me they called him two days after they arrested me.

00:08:09.000 They're coming for him.

00:08:10.000 So they're coming for anyone and everyone that is going to question this regime.

00:08:14.000 And they'll even have employees of the government lie.

00:08:18.000 Who is authorizing that?

00:08:19.000 That's the questions we need to ask and get the answers to.

00:08:24.000 Steve Baker of the Blaze. was on that video.

00:08:28.000 How much of the January 6th tapes are we still missing?

00:08:32.000 So far, I know only 90 hours have been released.

00:08:35.000 And they're talking about within the next few months that the next 44,000 hours that are still held will be released.

00:08:44.000 So we still have still, in a sense, a treasure trove that haven't been released yet when you only have a small amount that has to tell a story.

00:08:52.000 Like I've been in Hollywood, you know, since 2004, so I understand story.

00:08:56.000 I also understand editing in order to tell a story.

00:08:59.000 And so now that we see this story is crumbling, that they told us for the last two years that they tried to paint regular citizens who were, you know, practicing their First Amendment rights as terrorists and traitors to this country.

00:09:13.000 The reason why most people were there was because they love their country.

00:09:17.000 Whether they're first generation like myself or people who have been here for generations, that's why they were there.

00:09:25.000 Let's find out the people who had the body cam that were telling people to go forward and leave.

00:09:29.000 Let's find out those people who were dressed in one outfit one minute and hiding behind trees, switching to Trump outfits and moving forward after.

00:09:36.000 Let's talk about the over 200 agents that no one wants to identify or the people who were there 15 minutes before Trump speech even ended.

00:09:44.000 I want to just repeat something.

00:09:45.000 You said only 90 out of 44,000 hours have been released.

00:09:48.000 Yes.

00:09:49.000 Speaker Johnson just hasn't fulfilled his promise, I guess.

00:09:52.000 You know, it's something that, and I'm not a huge fan of FDR overall, but he said something that made sense.

00:10:00.000 And like I said before, I've been in the Hollywood industry for a while, so I can tell story.

00:10:07.000 And so what I'm seeing a lot of times, especially with Republican and Democrat movements, everything we see in politics is not by accident.

00:10:15.000 So the political game will be played, I think, a lot of times, even before just a humanitarian game should be played.

00:10:23.000 And so there's a lot of people, even from a January 6th standpoint, that no one was talking about this for a long time.

00:10:30.000 You know, you have been somebody who's been consistent.

00:10:32.000 Turning point's been consistent, but from Fox News to a lot of the major names, no one talked about it.

00:10:37.000 That was for a reason.

00:10:38.000 Now they're talking about it because now it's politically expedient to help out.

00:10:43.000 So I look at it as from a political standpoint, I can't rely on them to do the ultimate right thing right away, but I can rely on us to talk, us to share the story and get people back on the right side of it.

00:10:58.000 Hey, this is Charlie Kirk, and I know a lot of you have been suffering under the Biden economy.

00:11:02.000 Recently, school loan payments have been reinstated.

00:11:05.000 And for many, it's adding thousands to their monthly expenses.

00:11:08.000 My friends, Andrew Del Ray and Todd of Akien, they're amazing.

00:11:10.000 They really helped me through a tough, tough situation recently.

00:11:13.000 They've been excellent.

00:11:14.000 They're ethical.

00:11:15.000 They're just really great people.

00:11:17.000 They're followers of Jesus Christ.

00:11:19.000 And our worldviews are the same.

00:11:21.000 I love them.

00:11:21.000 And so please go to Andrew and Todd.com.

00:11:23.000 Interest rates are coming down and they may be able to lower your overall payment.

00:11:26.000 In fact, one of our team members said, Charlie, is it time to me to own a home?

00:11:29.000 I sat down, I went to the numbers.

00:11:30.000 I said, get in the owner game.

00:11:31.000 Honestly, enough renting.

00:11:32.000 You are burning your money renting.

00:11:34.000 It might be a little bit more to own, but you're building equity.

00:11:36.000 That's money you'll have for the rest of your life.

00:11:38.000 Perhaps a reverse mortgage is a perfect solution.

00:11:41.000 It's about expertise you could trust in times like this.

00:11:43.000 I can't tell you how helpful they've been for me personally.

00:11:45.000 They've just been excellent.

00:11:46.000 Andrew and Todd, I'm honored to call them friends.

00:11:48.000 We hang out when I go to Orange County together.

00:11:50.000 They're really great.

00:11:51.000 So say, Charlie sent me 888-888-1172.

00:11:54.000 That's 888, 888, 1172.

00:11:56.000 They helped me through a mortgage situation recently that was super complex and moving pieces, and it was really, really tough.

00:12:02.000 And other banks, by the way, wanted nothing to do with it, and they crushed it for me.

00:12:05.000 10 out of 10.

00:12:06.000 AndrewNTodd.com.

00:12:07.000 So check it out right now, AndrewandTodd.com.

00:12:12.000 I want to just say this again.

00:12:13.000 Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus, who claimed he witnessed an altercation between Dunn and the Oath Keepers on several occasions.

00:12:20.000 However, the complete timeline of video evidence released by the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, with some of the few hours he released, clearly indicates that Lazarus was not in the vicinity of Dunn when the alleged altercation occurred, but was a quarter mile away in the Senate office buildings.

00:12:35.000 Lazarus did not arrive in the stairwell where Dunn was located until after the Oath Keepers had already left the area and can be seen exiting the Capitol Rotunda through the East Doors.

00:12:45.000 I mean, Siaka, did no one fact-check this guy's testimony?

00:12:48.000 I mean, this is the most simple 101 stuff.

00:12:51.000 Well, I mean, you got to look at the, I would say, the political will.

00:12:56.000 You have lawyers that weren't willing to defend a lot of these J6ers. 1.00

00:13:00.000 So when everyone, they're bulldozing this narrative down everyone's throat and not releasing the footage.

00:13:06.000 Who was going to fact-check?

00:13:09.000 Like, we can never expect, and I believe you can never expect evil to do the right thing.

00:13:14.000 So it wasn't going to come to this point until the light of day was shown on it.

00:13:20.000 Now this is where we are.

00:13:21.000 So of course they weren't going to do that because they're not going to hold themselves accountable to that level.

00:13:26.000 And we've watched it happen over the last, you know.

00:13:29.000 So Siaka, there's something I want you to riff on here.

00:13:32.000 I got in a conversation recently with someone who is not as conservative as I am.

00:13:37.000 He's a good guy, though.

00:13:38.000 And I said something.

00:13:39.000 I said, you know, our government is really treacherous and evil.

00:13:42.000 And he said, oh, no, I wouldn't go that far.

00:13:44.000 And I laid out the case and he conceded some points to his credit.

00:13:47.000 But Siaku, you're not a political guy.

00:13:50.000 Can you, your own government is attacking you.

00:13:54.000 You're not a drug trafficker. 0.55

00:13:56.000 You're not choreographing the movement of females across the southern borders that they could be sold into sex slavery.

00:14:02.000 You haven't burned down Wendy's in the spirit of Floyd Apalooza.

00:14:05.000 No, you took a couple steps into the Capitol and then you went out.

00:14:09.000 Can you comment on how it feels in your life to be targeted by a government that you probably once looked at at best positively, at worst neutrally?

00:14:22.000 I always like to tell people: you know, I was raised in Evanston, Illinois.

00:14:26.000 And yes, it's a liberal and it's actually far more liberal progressive than it was when I was growing up.

00:14:32.000 But we were raised that America was great.

00:14:34.000 We were raised that this country was working towards something better than humans have ever seen when it comes down to governance.

00:14:42.000 And leaving a country, or my family left a country where they actually locked people up and killed opposition leaders.

00:14:50.000 And to be in this situation now and to know this is not what it's supposed to be.

00:14:55.000 You know, I had this conversation yesterday with a good friend of mine I went to high school with.

00:14:59.000 I'm like, stop talking about teams and look at it in the fact that our government is using all the resources that it has to terrorize their citizens.

00:15:11.000 To terror, like, I haven't been always, you know, been a Christian or been trying to do the right things.

00:15:16.000 I've done things where I've got put in jail for that I deserve to be. 0.99

00:15:21.000 But to have your government paint a picture, then use all the force of our own tax dollars to then frame you as a terrorist, a traitor to your country, a traitor to a country is deserving of death. 0.91

00:15:37.000 And that's in our Constitution. 0.99

00:15:39.000 So when you watch people kind of sit back and go, well, you know, yeah, you shouldn't have been there or yeah, you're a traitor.

00:15:46.000 It's like, no, you don't understand what is happening right now in the movement that is going on because it's fun today because you think that this is your team working it.

00:15:55.000 When Trump does win, are the complaints going to be the same when people believe that maybe he's moving too heavy-handedly?

00:16:02.000 Because the standard has already been set.

00:16:06.000 The FBI can go after misdemeanors now, which they've never done in history.

00:16:10.000 To have that feeling on top when you're just trying to make your way, when you've already been canceled because you didn't believe in the shot when you backed a certain president, when you want to speak out against killing and assassinating babies in the womb, now the government's going to put themselves on top of you with guns in your face, come in and take your property, wait two years.

00:16:37.000 Sorry.

00:16:39.000 Everyone should be mad.

00:16:42.000 And it's not just about me, you know?

00:16:46.000 This is about the direction of where we want our kids to grow up.

00:16:51.000 Everyone should be mad that our government's moving like this.

00:16:55.000 I'm sorry.

00:16:56.000 How can people support you and help you out here?

00:16:58.000 You're being persecuted by our own government.

00:17:00.000 And as Dennis Prager said, and Dennis Prager is a very precise man, he said, I never thought I'd live in a country with political prisoners.

00:17:07.000 Well, yeah, you can support at defendsiaka.com.

00:17:11.000 That's defend, S-I-A-K-Asiaka.com.

00:17:18.000 Hey, everybody, exciting news.

00:17:19.000 Very, very important.

00:17:20.000 We are saving babies with pre-born.

00:17:23.000 You've heard me talk about this all throughout the year, and time is running out on this great dollar-for-dollar match.

00:17:27.000 I have donated money here, and you should too.

00:17:29.000 Through December 31st, you can save twice as many babies by providing ultrasounds.

00:17:33.000 But this match goes away soon, so don't put it off another minute.

00:17:36.000 You've heard about and thought about and talked about it and maybe even prayed about it.

00:17:40.000 But right now is the time to do something about it.

00:17:42.000 If you're wondering about your end of year giving and want every dollar to get the most results, this is a great chance to maximize your gift for life.

00:17:49.000 And for a one-time $15,000 gift, you'll provide not just one ultrasound machine, but two, saving thousands of babies for years to come.

00:17:57.000 $280 saved 10 babies.

00:17:59.000 $28 a month saves a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.

00:18:02.000 And right now, any gift saves twice as many babies with pre-born.

00:18:06.000 Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:18:11.000 That's the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:18:18.000 CharlieKirk.com, pre-born banner.

00:18:22.000 Talk about how you are doing personally and your family is.

00:18:25.000 I know you're allowing this to strengthen you, and we have your back, but there have been a fair amount of January 6th defendants that have now killed themselves and committed suicide because of the weight and the pressure.

00:18:36.000 Our government has no disregard for their citizens.

00:18:38.000 In fact, I believe firmly our government hates the people that they claim to represent.

00:18:43.000 Siaka, your reaction.

00:18:45.000 Like you said, before growing up, I used to not think that.

00:18:49.000 And now, as I watch how things are moving, there's no reasonable conclusion to why they're moving like this on citizens outside of a strong disdain for it.

00:19:00.000 I don't understand it.

00:19:03.000 But, as I was talking to your producer earlier, this This has just reaffirmed the glory of God to me, from the evening of being locked up to getting a Bible that night and literally falling asleep with it in my arms.

00:19:18.000 To talking to the prisoners the next day at the holding cell in the marshal's office and ended up being asked to pray for them and myself before we went in front of the magistrate.

00:19:31.000 To having good godly friends looking after Charlotte when I wasn't able to be with her, to just the church, you know, church Godspeak, and how they showed up at the hearing just for my bond hearing.

00:19:43.000 There was at least 15 people and watching that work.

00:19:47.000 It's just, honestly, after just their arrest, let alone this last month, I've seen the Lord work in such amazing ways that, and they also mentioned how Jesus said, look, you know, the servant isn't greater than the master.

00:20:03.000 If you're going to work in his name and in his favor, you're going to be persecuted.

00:20:09.000 So to watch these things happen, but yet watch the Lord work, it sucks and it emotionally can hit you in the gut, but there's a glory on the other side and there's a light on the other side that it just warms you and gives you peace.

00:20:22.000 And you realize you're more blessed that if you have to be at this place, I'd rather be here with the Lord on my back and behind me and in front of me and around me than kind of be where I used to be alone in this darkness away from him.

00:20:37.000 You know, because those are crazy times too.

00:20:40.000 Romans 8, 28, we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

00:20:47.000 He works all things out for his good for those who love him.

00:20:52.000 So, Siaka, you're looking this at viewing this as a blessing.

00:20:56.000 Can you talk more about Godspeak run by Pastor Rob McCoy, my pastor?

00:21:00.000 Every church in the country should be doing this, but most churches are not very courageous.

00:21:05.000 They run to the hills.

00:21:06.000 What a great ministry opportunity, right?

00:21:08.000 Because, you know, I hear from these social justice warrior people, you know, we stand with the immigrant and we stand with the felon and they have prison ministries.

00:21:15.000 And okay, great, fine.

00:21:17.000 But, you know, the lack of the church's compassion towards January 6th defendants has just been so telling to me.

00:21:24.000 Most pastors and churches, they don't care, but talk about how I'm sure that was just a stimulus for you, the love that you felt from Godspeak Calvary Chapel.

00:21:33.000 That is the love of Jesus Christ, isn't it?

00:21:36.000 So, I mean, what else could it be?

00:21:38.000 You know, Godspeak has been one of those churches.

00:21:42.000 I first even heard of Godspeak in 2020 when they stayed open.

00:21:46.000 And my buddy was like, let's go up there and support them.

00:21:49.000 And we were actually supposed to come and see you at Jack Hibbs Church instead.

00:21:54.000 And so my buddy mentioned that this church is being persecuted.

00:21:57.000 Do you want to go there?

00:21:58.000 And I'll be honest with you.

00:22:00.000 And this is before I got baptized and everything.

00:22:04.000 My buddy goes, they're going to give out tickets for people.

00:22:07.000 And I go, wow, well, I go, what do you think Jesus would do?

00:22:07.000 So I don't know.

00:22:10.000 He said, Jesus would go to the church that's being persecuted.

00:22:12.000 So I'm like, all right, you know, I guess we got to go there.

00:22:16.000 So we didn't get to come see you over at Jack's church.

00:22:18.000 We had to go over there.

00:22:19.000 And that's when I got my first, the first Bible that I've ever really owned for myself.

00:22:25.000 And the service went on and I'll sit next to this older lady who had just driven in from Arizona that day because the Lord told her she needed to be there.

00:22:35.000 After the service ends, she opens up Ephesians 6 in her Bible that's like has all these stickers and are highlighted like crazy.

00:22:43.000 And she points, she goes, open up your Bible here, points out Ephesians 6, 10, armor of God, and wants to circle in my book, but circles in her.

00:22:50.000 And she goes, you're going to need this.

00:22:53.000 The Lord told me to tell you you're going to need this.

00:22:56.000 And that was August of 2020.

00:22:59.000 After that, we find out I've got put on the censorship list of September of 2020 in California, the Secretary of State censored list.

00:23:07.000 I get a ticket for not wearing a mask in West Hollywood in February, and then I get raided in June.

00:23:12.000 But I meet my now future wife in September, who happens to be going to Godspeak because her church shut down.

00:23:21.000 So she asked me, Hey, do you want to go to church?

00:23:23.000 I'm like, Yeah, okay.

00:23:24.000 You know, I haven't gone to church consistently since I was 12.

00:23:27.000 So we started going to church together in November or in just September of 21, or yeah, 21.

00:23:35.000 So just to see that it went from just wanting to stand for freedom to all this stuff happening.

00:23:41.000 And then the woman that now is my wife and they're going to have our first child together was actually going to the church because the church was standing up.

00:23:50.000 So then, you know, I started going, started going to Godspeak there.

00:23:54.000 We were able to connect with that community so much so that we had 13 people in that church alone run for local office.

00:24:02.000 I was fortunate enough to be one of them because Charlotte also was doing Patriot Academy, Rick Green's Patriot Academy.

00:24:08.000 I went to that and started getting even more turned up about what the right thing to do and getting involved and running for a local office.

00:24:15.000 So I ran for state assembly in 22.

00:24:17.000 We had 13 people in Godspeak run for local office.

00:24:22.000 Godspeak, to me, was the church that I believed that I was missing and why I didn't really buy into it growing up because I was like, they're not active.

00:24:32.000 They sit back and say, oh, just kind of let it to me, just let it happen.

00:24:36.000 God will take care of it.

00:24:37.000 There wasn't the stand, you know, contend for the faith attitude that now I've started to see and started to learn more about and seeing, yes, this is the way to move.

00:24:47.000 This can give people purpose.

00:24:49.000 And I watched Godspeak lead the way in that to the point where I got baptized to Godspeak myself.

00:24:54.000 And man, it has just been from their impetus of what turning point faith is and my wife being, she's, you know, the leader of turning point faith out there in Thousand Oaks to watching what you guys have done to activate the pastors.

00:25:10.000 And I always said like this on a campaign trail, can you imagine what our country would be like if at least one person in every church or synagogue ran for local office?

00:25:20.000 We wouldn't be having these arguments.

00:25:22.000 We wouldn't be having a prop one in California pass that you can kill a baby up to nine months and you can now have the death of a baby go unsolved after 28 days.

00:25:33.000 You know, Siaka, what a beautiful testimony.

00:25:36.000 God works all things out for his good in an amazing way.

00:25:40.000 Did COVID and J6 bring you closer to Jesus?

00:25:43.000 Oh, oh, man.

00:25:45.000 COVID, COVID turned me to the truth of who God was.

00:25:49.000 J6 showed me the peace of Jesus.

00:25:53.000 COVID told me, like, man, look at the amount of lies in the world that are going to be told.

00:25:59.000 You need to find truth.

00:26:00.000 And that's who God was to me.

00:26:01.000 And, you know, I went to program for my alcoholism.

00:26:04.000 So I saw God save my life personally.

00:26:07.000 And then now I can go back and see how he did before.

00:26:10.000 And so in 2020, that was like, no, you have to stand for something more than just being comfortable in your house.

00:26:17.000 And that's where like who God was kind of came out there.

00:26:21.000 But then the love of Jesus Christ, that just flourished when you started getting canceled and attacked and put on the cover of, you know, LA Times lying about you and getting guns in your face.

00:26:34.000 And then in that little moment, finding that church and finding a woman that was at that, that goes to that church.

00:26:43.000 And we started our spiritual journey together and read through the whole New Testament together.

00:26:47.000 So it was the first time I got to literally not a blurb, but I got to read Jesus' words firsthand was with my wife.

00:26:55.000 And we did all that together.

00:26:56.000 Just, I mean, we could be here for hours discussing the amount of the amount of just glory that he's shown and how much that he exists.

00:27:07.000 And he wants to be there for us.

00:27:09.000 And especially now, especially when we've gone so far, we're not too far from the Jews in Exodus or that in, you know, in Leviticus or in Kings that were turning away from God and wondering why everything fell apart.

00:27:23.000 Then they turned back.

00:27:25.000 And the Lord even back then said, hey, come to me.

00:27:28.000 Just as long as you come to me and you're repentant, I'll get you.

00:27:34.000 And so that hope was just so, it became so much more palatable.

00:27:38.000 Man, Charlie, I couldn't.

00:27:42.000 Sometimes I just, I can't put it all into words, but it's just been so beautiful.

00:27:46.000 It's been some next level stuff, Charlie.

00:27:49.000 The shortest prayer in the Bible is Lord Help Me.

00:27:49.000 Next level.

00:27:52.000 That's it.

00:27:54.000 It was a storm going on.

00:27:56.000 We love Peter.

00:27:57.000 Peter's all over the map.

00:27:59.000 And it was just, Lord, help me.

00:28:00.000 Yeah.

00:28:01.000 Not this long, elaborate thing, not this, you know, I'm on the catechism, all that stuff's fine.

00:28:05.000 Just Lord, help me.

00:28:06.000 Wow.

00:28:08.000 Have you seen the movie Nefarious?

00:28:10.000 No, by Steve Dace, but I've been meaning to.

00:28:13.000 Did that make an impact on your life?

00:28:15.000 Yes, there is a scene.

00:28:17.000 It made, again, it makes the, everything that's happened, it made the gospel even more true because it says in there and it's based off the screw tape letters.

00:28:26.000 It's inspired by that with, you know, screw tape letters by, why does the name escape me right now?

00:28:33.000 By C.S. Lewis.

00:28:34.000 I'm sorry.

00:28:35.000 And in that movie, there's a moment the atheist cries out to the Lord.

00:28:41.000 All he says is, God, help me.

00:28:44.000 And everything stopped.

00:28:46.000 And I'm not, it's not taking the movie away at all because you have to go through it to understand like when this move, this moment even happened.

00:28:53.000 But it was just that little prayer, that little prayer that opened up the floodgates of the Lord to come back into his life when he was completely too smart for religion, if you will, too smart for God.

00:29:06.000 Right.

00:29:07.000 They say like the foolishness of God confines the wisdom of the wise.

00:29:12.000 And it's so interesting how to watch that happen and to even watch.

00:29:16.000 I don't want to just go back on me, but to watch how people have surrounded in a moment where I really thought I was like, well, that's it.

00:29:23.000 I'm going to be locked up and go by the wayside like so many other people from January 6th had, you know, happened.

00:29:29.000 But then to come out and see that support, you're like, whoa.

00:29:34.000 And to see the moment where Paul, you know, Paul talks about the walls coming down when he's in prison after just worshiping.

00:29:41.000 And I was able to, when I'm in there and that first night praying the Lord's Prayer over, getting the Bible, reading the Bible in there, the next day worshiping the Lord, just praying while I'm in jail, actually to the point where in that little two by four room where you get to speak to your lawyer, I wasn't expecting my lawyer to show up because he was in Florida.

00:30:01.000 He comes busting in with his bags and he's like, we're here.

00:30:05.000 I got a lawyer for LA.

00:30:05.000 I got you.

00:30:07.000 We're going to get you out today.

00:30:08.000 Great.

00:30:09.000 He leaves.

00:30:10.000 I'm sitting in this room and I fall to my knees.

00:30:13.000 And the only thing I can do with my hands just kind of cuffed is put my hands up and just sing that Brandon Lake song, gratitude.

00:30:21.000 Because I was like, I don't know what other prayer to say at this point.

00:30:25.000 So let me just do this.

00:30:28.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:31:24.000 Go to mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:31:30.000 I'm going to read a tweet here, Siaka, if that's okay.

00:31:33.000 And I want to get your reaction to it.

00:31:35.000 Just only one part of it.

00:31:37.000 So there's this Christian author, Beth Moore, who has a big following, allegedly.

00:31:43.000 And she's attacking Trump.

00:31:46.000 She's attacking Trump and all this.

00:31:47.000 And I don't want to pick on her too much, but I do want to, because I think this is really, I think it involves you.

00:31:53.000 She's attacking Trump supporters.

00:31:55.000 And she says that all Trump supporters want is a bully, someone who's verbally abusive, purposefully divisive, all these things.

00:32:03.000 And I hear your story, Siaka, okay?

00:32:05.000 And I want to connect these dots.

00:32:07.000 And I say, no, no, no, no.

00:32:08.000 We want, for one thing, justice.

00:32:10.000 One of the reasons why I'm more in support of Trump than ever before is look how you're being treated.

00:32:15.000 Look how he's being treated.

00:32:16.000 700 years in prison.

00:32:18.000 Can you riff on that from a Christian perspective, Siaka?

00:32:21.000 You know, Jesus said he didn't come here to bring peace, right?

00:32:26.000 And that's something that we were like, me and my wife, as we were reading, we were just thinking, man, like, what does that mean?

00:32:31.000 Come here to separate mothers from daughters, fathers from sons. 1.00

00:32:36.000 And what it meant was Jesus is the truth, right?

00:32:38.000 When he says, I'm the truth, the way, and the life.

00:32:40.000 He's the truth.

00:32:42.000 And it's so clear when someone makes a statement like that, they don't understand why people enjoy Trump and why people and Christians are backing him.

00:32:52.000 It's not because he's perfect.

00:32:53.000 It's not because he has a spotless record in his past.

00:32:56.000 It's because he's telling the truth.

00:32:58.000 It's because he's saying things that our culture has needed to be said for a long time.

00:33:04.000 It's because he's inspired individuals like yourself, like myself, and so many others to stand up for truth in their spot.

00:33:10.000 They don't, they can't handle that.

00:33:12.000 And so when I hear someone make a statement like that, it's really disheartening because then I know you have not talked to a Trump supporter.

00:33:19.000 I told her that was my response.

00:33:20.000 You know, I'm tweeting back at her.

00:33:22.000 I said, come with me to a MAGA rally.

00:33:24.000 You're welcome, Beth Moore.

00:33:25.000 Just check all of your biases and just come join a MAGA rally.

00:33:29.000 And yet, and there will be some anger and stuff, but mostly it's motivated by love and how we've been lied to.

00:33:34.000 Yes.

00:33:35.000 You know, and I said this yesterday.

00:33:37.000 It's like we've been lied to so much that the American people didn't get a chance to enjoy probably the funniest fun president we've ever had.

00:33:46.000 I've been to a few rallies and it's a comedy show.

00:33:50.000 And he's right.

00:33:51.000 Most of the politicians can't do what he does.

00:33:54.000 He'll have you laughing.

00:33:55.000 You may not agree with everything, but he has a jovial spirit.

00:33:58.000 And you said it, it is nothing but love.

00:34:00.000 And that jovial spirit echoes throughout any rally.

00:34:04.000 I was here with the Trump rallies in 2020 that went on from June all the way till a week after the election.

00:34:10.000 And we were singing, dancing.

00:34:12.000 Dennis Prager's in the middle of the street being, you know, doing that, I forget what they call it, but the Jewish dancer.

00:34:18.000 And we have a live band and we have people flying planes overhead.

00:34:22.000 That's what it is.

00:34:24.000 It's a life movement.

00:34:26.000 And when you can't take, don't take the time and you're only watching what the television screen, which is run by a certain group of people, want to show you.

00:34:35.000 Of course, you're going to think, oh, they only want this.

00:34:37.000 That sounds like you've been digesting CNN and MSNBC when it comes down to that.

00:34:42.000 You've been programmed.

00:34:43.000 You've been programmed.

00:34:44.000 Seeka.

00:34:45.000 There it is.

00:34:46.000 And a lot of people have.

00:34:47.000 So repeat the website.

00:34:49.000 And just your final plea here, Siaka, because you are a political prisoner.

00:34:53.000 And Siaka, if you haven't had a chance to read Darkness at Noon by Arthur Kessler, I encourage you to read it.

00:34:59.000 It's all about political prisoners in the 1950s, and it's really powerful.

00:35:03.000 But you are a political prisoner, and you're using it as a blessing.

00:35:09.000 You are the first generation of political prisoners.

00:35:11.000 I hope you know that.

00:35:12.000 We've never had it before in American history.

00:35:15.000 Even through our nastiest times, we have not had a thousand plus people that have been put in prison because of their views.

00:35:22.000 First of all, thank you again for having me on, Charlie.

00:35:24.000 If you guys feel it and moved in your heart, go to defend Siaka, S-I-A-K-A.com. 0.97

00:35:30.000 This is not just about me.

00:35:32.000 If anything, we can use this in order to put a light on what our government is doing to the average person, which they're not supposed to, which is why this country was established in the first place.

00:35:42.000 Again, it's not a right or left thing.

00:35:44.000 This is a government against its people.

00:35:46.000 And right now, the weight of the government is being used against individuals like myself and many others in worse positions that you may not know that some have been locked up since January 6th.

00:35:58.000 So this is a plea.

00:35:59.000 If you want to support me, please come up and go to defendsiaka.com.

00:36:03.000 I also do updates, January 6th updates, to keep you informed of what's going on with other cases and with our government in itself.

00:36:11.000 So go out there, support.
