00:00:36.460
Let's just start right away by you guys introducing yourselves. You want to start?
00:00:40.840
Yeah, my name is Brandon Caserta. I'm from Detroit, Michigan. I'm just a regular guy who was just so
00:00:47.820
happened to be framed by the FBI for something that I didn't do. Attempted framing. You were found not
00:00:53.760
guilty. Yes, attempted framing. Exactly. So this is in relation to the Gretchen Whitmer
00:00:58.480
kidnapping plot. Yes. And you are, ma'am? I'm Christina. I'm an independent journalist and
00:01:05.700
filmmaker, and I'm currently directing and producing the forthcoming documentary about
00:01:11.360
that story called Kidnap and Kill an FBI Terror Plot that will tell the truth about the FBI's
00:01:17.420
fabrication of a domestic terror plot to influence the election.
00:01:21.020
Yeah. Big story being run far and wide on all the corporate press outlets about a group of men who
00:01:27.740
were plotting to, what, overthrow the government or something like that. And I believe that the cases
00:01:33.980
are still ongoing, right? There's still people who are awaiting trial. You, Brandon, you were found,
00:01:39.320
not, you are acquitted as well as another individual. Well, let's start from the beginning. I mean,
00:01:44.020
how does an FBI hoax terror plot begin? How do you get involved in it? Where are we at?
00:01:51.100
Yeah. So, you know, it's kind of interesting because during 2020, you know, we had all those
00:01:57.080
riots and the lockdowns happen. This was something that we haven't really seen happen before, you know,
00:02:03.460
and it was pretty crazy. It was a crazy time. And, you know, people like me were concerned. We,
00:02:09.800
you know, I trained with firearms. Uh, I really care about the second amendment and, you know,
00:02:14.500
I'm, I'm critical of the government and I understand, you know, my philosophy and how to
00:02:18.660
express that. And, uh, so I was looking for kind of like-minded people to essentially be able to
00:02:25.920
protect ourselves in case a real tyranny came down. And, uh, for my experience, you know, I'm,
00:02:34.120
I found these, uh, these groups, uh, that would have private property to train on and you would
00:02:40.680
go and train. So it's just a regular thing, right? People are, people are talking about what they
00:02:45.160
believe in and, and training with firearms, but little do you know that all the people who are
00:02:51.420
training everyone are feds, right? How many of them were feds? Well, in, in, in just our case,
00:02:59.020
the federal case, the six guys that went to the first trial, there was at least 12 informants there.
00:03:03.960
And then three undercover feds. So like, wait, how many people were, how many people total you've
00:03:10.080
got? Six. Well, six were charged federally. And then for those six people were feds, right? Or
00:03:17.040
like informant or actual working feds. So the majority of like the group, that's just so insane.
00:03:23.840
Yeah. Like make a fake group to try and bring people in or something. That's exactly what they
00:03:27.980
did. They, uh, they made so many fake profiles, militia profiles, like militia 3%.
00:03:33.660
Blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And they draw people in and try to organize people from other
00:03:39.520
states and say, Hey, we got this property, come train on it, you know? And Hey, we got food. It's
00:03:44.760
like a family atmosphere. It's, it's really nothing wrong, you know? So people show up.
00:03:49.360
So this, uh, there's all of these people who are being charged. Do you know, all of them?
00:03:54.020
Um, no, no, I, they were acquaintances of mine. Um, I really got closer to them when, when I was in
00:04:03.140
jail, uh, uh, awaiting trial, then how well I knew him prior to that. You were in for what was it?
00:04:08.900
18 months. Yes. On fake charges. They made this up. Yes. 100% made up. That's insane.
00:04:15.600
Well, let's start from the beginning. I have a million and one questions, but
00:04:18.020
like, let's start with the charges and they arrest you and all the stuff. Like what happens?
00:04:23.160
Yeah. So how I got arrested was I was literally at work. Um, I ordered lunch from the same place.
00:04:30.240
So I order, uh, you know, my, uh, avocado burger with jalapeno and onion on it.
00:04:36.180
And, uh, you know, I'm waiting to go get that. And my supervisor comes up to me. He's like, Hey,
00:04:41.300
uh, like the plant manager or whatever wants to talk to you. And I'm assuming that he left already,
00:04:46.780
but I guess not. Right. So what happened with that is the FBI showed up essentially told my
00:04:52.600
supervisor, Hey, you got to get him and draw him over here. So he's like, doesn't know what's going
00:04:57.300
on. He's like, Oh crap. Like, okay. So he tells me to go in this room. I walk into this, uh, like
00:05:02.600
conference room that I had been in before, but the lights were out. Whoa. And yeah. And I walk in and I
00:05:08.060
look around like what next thing, you know, the lights flick on 15 plain clothed FBI agents with
00:05:13.820
back with those over their face are like, get down on the ground now, put your hands behind your back.
00:05:18.920
Stop resisting. They just tackle me down to the ground and start digging through my pockets and
00:05:23.980
all this stuff. And I'm literally, I don't know they're from the government. They didn't say FBI
00:05:29.100
or anything. They just attacked me and essentially kidnapped me. Yeah. You know? So when, when do you
00:05:35.480
find out in this case that they're feds, you're being charged, they're coming after you.
00:05:40.180
So what happened after that is they put me in change and they walked chains and they walked me
00:05:47.340
up to this, uh, very tall slender man in a black suit with slicked back black hair. And they said,
00:05:55.280
is this the guy? And he said, what's your name? I said, Brandon. He said, that's him. Put him in the
00:06:01.920
back. And I'm like, okay. So they throw me in the back and I realized these guys have these ear
00:06:07.140
pieces on and stuff like that. I'm like, oh, okay. These are feds. Yeah. They're still not telling me
00:06:11.980
anything. You know, did you have an inkling? Like, did you, or yeah, yeah. Because they were trying
00:06:17.400
to, they really wanted my phone. They really wanted to look at my car and stuff. So I just told them I
00:06:21.780
don't consent to any of this. You know, I don't consent, blah, blah, blah. That's really all I could do.
00:06:26.500
They had me. And then I didn't find out what the charges were exactly until we pulled up to the
00:06:32.020
police station. I was like, oh, okay. You know, did you have any idea that anything like this could
00:06:36.620
happen? No, no. The entire time, look, I'm a smart guy. If I'm engaging in certain behaviors,
00:06:42.300
I'm going to understand whether or not I could probably get in trouble for it. You know, not one
00:06:47.420
time did I ever think that I could get arrested or in trouble for just expressing my beliefs.
00:06:53.480
Me and my buddies wrote a sketch. We never did it. We wrote it years ago. And it goes like this.
00:07:01.380
There's two cops in a van with surveillance equipment and they're holding the earpiece
00:07:06.960
to their right ear. And then you hear a guy saying something like, all right, get in the van,
00:07:12.640
load the equipment, take it to the bridge. We're going to take all these people down. And they're
00:07:15.960
going like, oh man, this is getting crazy. And then one guy's like, those, those are the victims.
00:07:20.860
You sure about this? Yup. That's the target go now. And they're like, we got to go in and stop
00:07:25.300
these guys. And they, the cops run out of the van, run out of the house, kick the door in. And
00:07:28.700
there's three fat dudes playing grand theft auto. And they're like, uh, yeah, because you know,
00:07:34.400
the general idea is it's funny because me and my friends were talking about something like this
00:07:37.240
years ago. This is basically what they do. My understanding in your case is they start asking you
00:07:43.480
things. They start sparking up conversations, asking how you feel about things so that you can say
00:07:47.900
something that's not, not illegal in any way, but they can misconstrue to a jury to make it seem
00:07:52.900
like you had malintent. Yes, exactly. That's exactly what they did. And specifically they,
00:07:59.100
uh, it's like a theatrical thing. Like they record you training in certain instances,
00:08:05.060
and then they pick certain angles of you, like with your firearm and it, it makes it look more evil
00:08:11.440
than what's actually happening. And they put these characters together, but they pick their,
00:08:16.960
their main guys. And usually that person is someone who's kind of like down and out, you know,
00:08:22.120
they might not be the most intelligent person and they choose them and try to like groom them and
00:08:28.580
coax them to say the most ridiculous things and put them in a leadership position and say, Hey,
00:08:33.960
you're the leader of Michigan, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Adam. Yeah. We, we had had,
00:08:38.480
we, um, had talked to the guys from, you know, paradise loss. Are you familiar with that?
00:08:43.860
No. Yeah. The satanic panic story from, um, the nineties, nineties, uh, early nineties. I think
00:08:51.180
it's been a while, uh, it's been a month or so. So we had him, but, but this is the general story.
00:08:55.120
The, the, the cops find a guy who's not too bright, interrogate him to the point where he breaks down
00:09:00.540
and just says anything. And then they say, now implicate these guys. And he does. And they go,
00:09:04.100
we got them. Yes. I was reading a one quote in particular. It's like the notable quote,
00:09:09.780
I suppose, where they claimed you said something to the effect of, if it all goes down, I'm going
00:09:16.080
to be armed and I'm going to take action or something to that effect. Yeah. Can you speak
00:09:19.820
to that? I mean, what, what is that about? Is this, is this you saying like, I'm ready for war
00:09:23.420
or is it you in a hypothetical scenario where they're telling you you're being attacked? Like,
00:09:26.980
what is this? Yeah, that's exactly what it is. So what, what had happened was I was pretty angry that,
00:09:31.500
you know, two weeks prior to me actually getting arrested, I kept getting harassed by police.
00:09:36.980
Like they were making up reasons to pull me over, you know, and they pulled me over and, uh, for
00:09:43.520
just like a, a bull crap reason, you know, and at the time it's like, I'm trying to pay my bills and
00:09:48.740
stuff. So now I got to like, Oh, like two, $300 for this ticket. So I'm, I'm very frustrated.
00:09:55.260
And in, in my philosophy, you know, uh, if you were to engage in the same behaviors that police
00:10:01.460
do on the road, like, why don't you go ahead and try to pull someone over and start rummaging
00:10:05.500
through their stuff and then charge them a bunch of money and see how that goes. They're going to
00:10:09.380
think you're trying to rob them. Right. So, and you're trying to rob them. Right. Right. So,
00:10:14.640
you know, after getting robbed, I was like, you know, frustrated. And I was saying like, look,
00:10:20.420
people that engage in this behavior, this is theft. This is robbery. And look, if this all goes down,
00:10:26.160
I'm going to defend myself. You know what I'm saying? If these guys, if tyranny happens,
00:10:31.460
I'm going to defend myself with my firearms and I'm not going to allow anyone to take my rights.
00:10:38.960
So man, I'm losing my voice now all of a sudden, I don't know, but, uh, we'll try to get through it.
00:10:44.420
Uh, you get acquitted and let's, let's, I want to start there and then we'll go back and talk a lot
00:10:49.280
more about the trial. But what was that like? I mean, the jury heard the story and it just was not
00:10:53.120
credible there. The, the, the evidence didn't back it up. What was the jury like? And how did
00:10:57.500
they ultimately decide you didn't do anything wrong? Yeah. So this jury was very interesting
00:11:02.480
because the entire time, you know, you're trying to gauge expressions of these individuals and
00:11:09.280
you're trying to figure out like when something is said, what was their reaction to it? Or if they're
00:11:14.360
on your side and, and they were pretty stone face, you know, they were pretty good at not showing
00:11:19.700
expression. And I think my attorney, Mike Hills did a very great job of, you know, showing the truth
00:11:27.600
and showing that, look, my client never agreed to do anything, whether or not you agree or disagree
00:11:33.760
with my client statements about police or about the government. Frankly, he said, I don't agree with
00:11:39.660
them, but that has nothing to do with the charge. He's being charged for conspiring to kidnap the
00:11:44.600
governor. Right. And he says nothing about her. You know, he, he doesn't, he doesn't go to her
00:11:51.420
house. He doesn't, you know, say let's get her. He never agrees with anyone to do anything like
00:11:56.860
that. You just have him saying offensive statements and then have him running through a shoot house
00:12:01.440
with a short barrel rifle and then say, well, you should convict this guy because he doesn't like
00:12:06.760
the police. How long was the, was the trial? It was a month. And then they, I think it was,
00:12:14.800
it was really big news when this came out because we started getting more and more details that
00:12:17.820
this plot seemed entirely fabricated. Then your acquittal. And I believe, uh, Harris was Daniel
00:12:24.960
Harris was also quit. Was that, was that similar in his case? I don't know if, you know, or, or
00:12:29.520
Christina, it was similar. Yeah. Um, Daniel didn't agree to kidnap either. In fact, he'd said
00:12:36.280
statements to the contrary, right? He had said things like, um, you know, we're not black bagging
00:12:42.380
politicians and stuff like that. Like, yeah. So he had said the opposite. There was no agreement on his
00:12:49.880
part for any kind of kidnapping. And with Brandon, one of the other things that happened is they early
00:12:54.600
on pressured, uh, Ty Garbin to take a plea deal. Um, and that was like, right after you guys got
00:13:00.380
arrested, you guys got arrested October, 2020, I think January, 2021, he took a plea deal and his
00:13:06.000
lawyer, yeah, his lawyer, um, used to work for the FBI. So that's kind of interesting also, but once
00:13:14.380
they had, um, you know, they had to have somebody to say that there was a conspiracy because they
00:13:19.340
couldn't prove it on their own. There's no evidence. There's nothing of these guys on audio of
00:13:24.120
the thousands of hours of video audio they have of anybody, uh, conspiring to kidnap anybody.
00:13:30.440
And then you need to show a criminal enterprise. If you're saying people are conspiring to carry out
00:13:35.760
like this act, show acts in furtherance of that conspiracy show where they're like stockpiling
00:13:41.880
ammunition or making large purchases for firearms or whatever. They don't have that. So they have to
00:13:47.600
have somebody take a plea deal and say, yes, this happened. And they took, they pressured another guy,
00:13:53.080
Caleb Franks into taking a plea right, a plea right before you guys went to trial like a month before.
00:13:58.040
And he'd been fighting it prior to that. But, um, when you really care about someone,

00:15:02.860
Yeah. Once they have people taking plea deals, they had these guys up on the stand and they said that
00:15:08.160
you were there one day where you were actually at work and your lawyer was able to show that they said
00:15:12.280
that there was this secret meeting that at one of these government sponsored field training exercises
00:15:18.660
or FTXs that they said that a group of them went off somewhere separate from everybody else to have
00:15:24.660
this like private conversation where there just so happened to be no informant there that could record it
00:15:30.240
where everything else is being recorded by like five or six different people. So we just have to take
00:15:35.400
these two guys word for it that took the plea deal. This conversation happened. He says, Brandon's
00:15:40.740
there. He's nodding in agreement. Brandon's at work that day. And you were able to prove this.
00:15:45.520
Yeah, absolutely. Wow. Yeah. He pulled up my work record and everything and said, wait a second.
00:15:50.780
This day he was at work right there. So how could he be at this meeting? They're lying.
00:15:55.120
Lying. You know, this sounds like now, you know, I want to, I wanted to make sure we get out the,
00:16:00.380
you were, you were acquitted of all charges. You are innocent. You were innocent the whole time.
00:16:05.100
You were, you were never proven guilty, like innocent. They still lock you up for a year and
00:16:08.420
a half. They still run in the press that you were this guy that you did these things, even though
00:16:12.740
the feds had to have known that was fake. I mean, this guy is giving false statements.
00:16:17.320
If you've got proof, you weren't there. And he says you were there. These are lies to try and jam
00:16:20.880
you up, to lock you up, to destroy your life. This sounds like the FBI scripted the whole thing in
00:16:28.480
advance. The majority of the people involved are either informants or actual agents. It sounds like
00:16:35.260
they knew what they were doing before it all began. And they said, we need patsies so we can
00:16:40.660
create a fake circumstance to manipulate and steal an election. That's exactly what happened in my
00:16:47.700
investigation into this. What I've looked at through the documents from the discovery and everything is
00:16:53.360
that absolutely there were certain people involved that were under surveillance online for years,
00:16:59.060
like Barry Croft. He first came up on the FBI's radar in 2017 for things he was saying online,
00:17:05.440
anti-government sentiment, they call it now or whatever. And they have these informants that
00:17:11.600
are undercover online. They have undercover agents who operate numerous identities online. They call them
00:17:18.420
online covert employees. They're actually FBI agents. So one of these undercover feds who I think
00:17:25.660
they ended up introducing into the group, he's posing as just a regular guy online, like a militia guy
00:17:32.620
using the name Mark Woods. That's not his real name. His real name is Special Agent Mark Schweres.
00:17:38.760
And he should be very ashamed of himself for what he did in this case. Or he should be criminally
00:17:42.700
prosecuted. He should be, along with Timothy Bates, who was UCE Red, who posed as a
00:17:48.140
explosives expert towards the end when they needed to get these guys on something. But yeah,
00:17:54.380
they planned the entire thing. They were monitoring these guys. They give their informants access to
00:17:59.440
a database. This was interesting. And this is in their file for one of their informants who happens
00:18:04.680
to be, by the way, a 20-year felon who has fraud charges and pedophilia charges, which, by the way,
00:18:12.200
the FBI kept out of their own paperwork. That had to be independently verified. So they don't even put
00:18:17.080
that in their file when discussing his lengthy criminal record. And yeah, this is the kind of
00:18:24.280
people that they're using as informants. They give him an access to a database of Americans they want
00:18:30.120
to target. So we have to ask the question, why does the FBI have a database of Americans they want to
00:18:37.000
target? What's the criteria for being put in that database? Is it being run through social media? Is that
00:18:44.160
why they have all of these agents undercover there? The FBI created pro-2A groups, like pages for
00:18:51.220
militias that didn't exist. And they scripted the whole thing. Yeah. They knew in advance they wanted
00:18:57.060
to do. It sounds like the real plotters are the FBI, the FBI agents in particular. And man, I hope,
00:19:04.360
you know, I'll be a little partisan in this one. I hope Donald Trump gets elected and then criminally
00:19:08.360
prosecutes all of these people. That should happen. Yeah. Yeah. Informants are, you know,
00:19:13.580
no one really is auditing this program, the informant program. We know the FBI spends like
00:19:18.740
five hundred and thirty million dollars on it a year, but there's no oversight. There's no
00:19:23.480
transparency. Some of these informants, they're just there kind of like a sleeper cells. They get
00:19:28.080
activated when needed. So a lot of these these guys, they're targeted that way. The FBI finds people
00:19:34.300
who are saying things online that are like, oh, yeah, like this is someone that will make a good
00:19:38.320
patsy or for Brandon. He's got tattoos. He's got gauge deers. He likes heavy metal music. They're
00:19:44.840
like, oh, this is the kind we want this guy to be, you know, front and center. So they look for people
00:19:51.020
like that. And then they have so much data about you online and they'll have their informants and
00:19:56.840
their agents reach out to people online and spark friendships with them. So Barry, for example,
00:20:01.660
he had informants reaching out to him in 2019, 2020, befriending him online, pretending that they
00:20:10.880
knew one of his friends who died and was going to attend the funeral. And they kind of met up with
00:20:16.920
him that way. And so they're driving this thing before they're introducing these guys to each other.
00:20:21.920
The co-defendants, they don't even know each other. The FBI informants introduce them to one
00:20:28.020
another and bring people together. And we're talking about months and months of surveillance
00:20:32.920
against someone, six months, seven months, eight months with no criminality happening. And they're
00:20:39.880
still continuing to use taxpayer dollars. Fourth Amendment violation. Right. Absolutely. Right.
00:20:46.920
Maybe I'm jumping the gun on this one, but are there any plans for civil lawsuits, civil litigation?
00:20:51.580
Honestly. Yeah. For me, absolutely. You know, one thing I'm, we're, we're a little bit concerned
00:20:57.140
about is just the qualified immunity thing. Right. A lot of times qualified immunity is very broad and
00:21:05.220
they can get away with like a lot of stuff, you know, but my particular thing is I absolutely believe
00:21:10.920
that my case could be one because number one, the defense was we did an entrapment defense with no
00:21:17.680
agreement. The fact that I was acquitted by a jury shows that the government attempted to entrap me.
00:21:24.840
Yeah. Right. And they attempted to entrap me, which is illegal for them to do. And they engaged in the
00:21:32.900
criminal activity. So because of that, I just need to find the right attorney who's willing to go up
00:21:41.020
against them. I think they're out there. Yeah. Do you believe that this whole fiasco did influence
00:21:49.780
the election in Michigan? 100%. Absolutely. Cause it gave, it gained sympathy for Gretchen Whitmer as
00:21:55.680
well, because of the hard tyranny that she brought down on Michigan with all these super strict
00:22:01.100
lockdowns. You couldn't buy seeds. You couldn't go gardening. You know what I mean? Just that barber
00:22:05.400
or a barber got. Yeah. Yeah. The barber, you couldn't get your haircut, all that stuff. And
00:22:12.060
people were, the people of Michigan, you know, are not, they may be a little bit, you know,
00:22:18.440
they're lefty and it's like some of those cities like Detroit and stuff, but the majority of Michigan
00:22:22.100
is not down with lockdowns and stuff like that. So, and the, and the, uh, the jab or whatever, but
00:22:29.080
yeah, people were angry about that and it was a good way to influence the election. They arrested us
00:22:34.880
in October and October surprise. FBI has been known to do that and it gained sympathy for her and said,
00:22:41.340
Oh, look, I'm a victim. You know, I'm a, these dangerous, you know, uh, white supremacist militia
00:22:47.700
guys were, were trying to, you know, attack me and put me in jail and all this stuff. Feel sorry for
00:22:53.680
me. Yeah. I think things are going to get bad. You know, I've talked about it quite a bit. I think
00:22:59.420
we're watching it and, uh, your story is a component in what I often talk about the looming
00:23:05.640
civil war or something like that. Uh, I just recently talked about this because, um, with the
00:23:12.000
arrest of Donald Trump, we are in once again, uncharted territory, but I say once again, because
00:23:16.900
it keeps happening. And so we're at the point where the sitting president's administration has
00:23:23.500
arrested their main political rival never before in American history, but something we see in banana
00:23:28.260
republics, something we see in a pre-revolution or pre-civil war. And so I, uh, put a segment
00:23:34.280
together where I went, I went back to 2017, an article in the New Yorker that said, are we headed
00:23:40.220
towards a civil war? And this is because of Charlottesville. They talked to a national security
00:23:44.440
expert who said he believed there was a, I think he had 60 some odd percent chance that in the next
00:23:49.420
10 years, there will be a civil war in this country. And the, the writer, and this is, this is New
00:23:53.780
York. This is a, you know, liberal publication said that, uh, she spoke with several, I believe
00:23:58.680
it was a woman spoke with several national security experts who put the, uh, the range between five
00:24:03.040
and 95% likelihood based on what we are seeing in the United States at the time in 2017 and what they
00:24:09.460
had seen around the world, the similarities were so, were so shocking that the consensus among the
00:24:14.700
experts was around a 35% chance in the next 10 years. And this is from 2017, that there would be
00:24:20.400
some kind of civil war in the United States. The way I often frame it is if I went back to you in
00:24:26.380
2017 and told you that, uh, a man with a communist black lives matter tattoo on his neck would put two
00:24:34.060
bullets in the chest of a, of a conservative in the middle of the streets in Portland, you wouldn't
00:24:38.580
believe me. You'd say, well, that sounds crazy. If I would have said that the, that the media would
00:24:45.520
run numerous reports about a group of men, militiamen who are trying to kidnap a governor to overthrow the
00:24:50.380
government, you'd say that would never happen. If I then went out and said, it turns out the story
00:24:55.580
was a hoax fabricated by the feds to manipulate an election. You'd start laughing your ass off
00:24:59.940
saying, now you've gone nuts. If I would have said on January six, hundreds of Trump supporters would
00:25:05.640
fight with cops in the front of the Capitol and storm their way in the building while several
00:25:09.040
hundred others made their way, you know, unknowingly through the back. And they call this
00:25:13.320
an insurrection. You, you start laughing and saying, bro, you should write a movie. It's not possible.
00:25:17.420
Every time something happens, I'll often say like, it's escalated. You know, it, things seem to be
00:25:24.960
getting worse. I want to, I want to just clarify real quick. I don't think it's apocalyptic. I just
00:25:29.720
think we are going to have this tumultuous period, which I believe ultimately things are going to
00:25:33.880
improve. And I think there are, they are improving, but it's fascinating to me that, you know, I go back
00:25:37.820
to 2017. I make a video about this. I'm talking, um, because of what happened in Charlottesville and
00:25:44.460
everyone, I know left and right say, you're crazy. This is a clickbait article. The New Yorker is
00:25:50.720
just putting out clickbait because it's shot content. It's going to make them money. And I
00:25:54.320
said that I think the political conflict we're seeing between these factions in the streets
00:25:57.760
is going to escalate. Antifa and BLM will go out and fight conservative groups, proud boys,
00:26:03.780
Patriot prayer, whatever it's going to be, are going to fight back. Democrats are then going to step up
00:26:08.200
and say, Hey, this is an opportunity for me to promote my political campaign, utilizing this
00:26:14.360
shock content, which will then spread the ideology and the, and the division. And it will ultimately
00:26:19.860
reach higher and higher levels of government. I said that to a group of people, 2017, 2018, 2019,
00:26:24.500
and they kept telling me I was crazy and I was wrong because the government would never allow
00:26:28.440
something like this to happen. We have now gotten to the point where the sitting president has had his
00:26:33.980
main political rival arrested and an attempt to put him in prison for the rest of his life.
00:26:39.080
Clearly political. The Hillary Clinton camp smashed phones and destroyed public records,
00:26:44.580
smashed phones with hammers, used open source purging software to wipe public records, all criminal.
00:26:51.240
And we say, Oh, but we're not going to prosecute it because it's, it's, it's, it's too, it's too
00:26:54.740
beyond, it's too far beyond or whatever. And we say, fine. But then they go after Trump in this way.
00:26:59.240
So my, my attitude is, you know, I don't think it matters whether or not you think your side is
00:27:04.620
right, the side is wrong, whether you're left or right. Certainly believe you're right. If you
00:27:09.180
think you're right, I think I'm right, right? You guys probably think you're right. What matters
00:27:12.540
is the conflict is happening. And so the reason I bring this up is in your case, as I mentioned,
00:27:17.880
if in 2017, you were to go to someone and say, October, 2020, the feds will announce a militia
00:27:25.060
was plotting conspiracy to kidnap a governor. So several of these men will be arrested and
00:27:29.800
charged to will plead guilty. When you really care about someone, you shouted from the mountaintops.

You'd laugh your ass off and say, shut up. You're crazy. Right. We're three years beyond this.
00:28:40.300
Three years beyond this. Of course, you were acquitted. It was a hoax. The fact that the initial
00:28:45.680
story was men try to kidnap governor or plot was shocking enough. I think it's 10 times as shocking
00:28:52.760
now that FBI stages hoax to manipulate election. It's one thing. If a group of random guys get
00:29:01.820
together and come up with a crazy idea and we say, yeah, they're crazy people out of 330 million people,
00:29:07.680
you're going to find some crazies. But then when you find out federal law enforcement subverted,
00:29:13.500
actually did provably true, our elections intentionally. Now we're talking about the
00:29:20.940
highest levels of government engaging in active conflict against the American people.
00:29:26.180
Yes. Yeah. That's how I see it. That's exactly right. You can look throughout the text messages
00:29:33.660
of the agents and their informants where they are saying like they're telling people we want to
00:29:39.320
maximize attendance at this event, bring, you know, try to invite this person and that person. So
00:29:44.520
some of the things that they've tried to use to say that this was a real plot, this actually happened
00:29:49.760
is, um, they talk about this, the recon of her vacation cottage. They say, oh, these guys went and
00:29:56.560
they drove past her vacation cottage because they actually wanted to do something. They were planning
00:30:01.240
something. Well, you can look in the discovery and look at the text messages. The FBI agent has planned
00:30:08.120
the first ride along. He's saying, invite this person, try to invite that person, do this and that
00:30:13.320
in the vehicles. It's, uh, FBI paid for vehicles. Um, they pick everybody up. They're the ones driving
00:30:21.560
the vehicles. You've got the informant, the main informant, Dan Chappell driving, sitting next to him
00:30:26.940
is undercover agent red, AKA Timothy Bates, who, uh, says something like, where are we going fellas
00:30:35.020
or whatever. And Barry is in the backseat, I think with Adam and, uh, Barry says destination unknown.
00:30:41.660
He doesn't know where they're going. Wow. But this is how they plan these ride along. So Barry was
00:30:47.740
invited to the night recon, night recon or ride along to her vacation cottage. Now, Barry's told, uh, one of
00:30:55.260
these field training exercises he's invited to that they're going to be doing land navigation training
00:31:01.500
as part of their militia training. Barry is a, um, he's a 40 something year old truck driver from
00:31:08.700
Delaware with three daughters that he's raising by himself. By the way, he's got a fiance who suffered
00:31:14.540
a traumatic brain injury, um, that he's dealing with. So he's driving around the country though.
00:31:20.140
He's attending these FTX is because he wants to be able to defend his family. If something happens,
00:31:25.100
uh, yeah, they tell him we're going to be doing land navigation training and night vision training.
00:31:30.620
And then he gets invited. He doesn't know where he's going. They, the FBI drives these guys by
00:31:35.660
Whitmer's vacation cottage. Prior to that, they've installed a pole cam on her property.
00:31:41.580
A pole cam has like a, what is it? The night vision, um, video. Cause they want to be able to pick
00:31:47.820
up this vehicle driving down. Cause they wanted to show this to the jury to say, look, they were casing
00:31:52.460
the place. Well, actually real quick that night that they went on that, they never went by.
00:31:57.180
They didn't even go because yes, because the leaders of the group, right? They never had the
00:32:02.860
address. You know who did have the address? The feds did. And guess what? Jason Chambers
00:32:10.380
said, Oh, they don't got the address, sent the main informant who was driving the address. Guess
00:32:15.580
what? It was one number off. It was the wrong address. He messed up. So they drove around
00:32:22.060
aimlessly, never even going to her house at all. I know. And I hate to laugh about it,
00:32:27.660
but it's so ludicrous. It is so theatrical and over the top, the way that they're doing this stuff,
00:32:33.180
they are scripting a movie. The FBI is literally plotting this out. Like they're writing a narrative,
00:32:38.460
you know, and they'll cherry pick things to put it together to try to make this over the top thing.
00:32:43.260
Like, Oh yeah, these guys were really going to do something. So they were able to make a
00:32:47.660
reconstruction of that video, by the way, which means the FBI just created like a theatrical video
00:32:52.940
and they let them play that to a jury. Wow. And it never happened. It never happened. Not only did
00:32:58.700
the first ride along, they didn't even really go in the right place. Even though the FBI was the
00:33:03.020
ones driving the vehicle, they do these reconstruction videos and play it to a jury to influence and bias
00:33:08.940
them. Um, we know also that in your jury trial, they did what they showed the fake video they made.
00:33:15.180
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. They showed that they said, this is what they were going to do and how
00:33:18.860
they were going to do it. They had, they had said, you know, Mr. Caserta right here was, um,
00:33:24.620
you know, an enforcer, right? Like I was going to be like in the vehicle. And when you,
00:33:30.220
when you go on the trial, you know, the, the defense attorneys are cross-examining these,
00:33:34.380
these, uh, witnesses and they're like, okay, so they were going to go here and then what,
00:33:40.780
get a boat and put it on a boat and then who's going to drive that boat and then wait. So that
00:33:46.940
doesn't make sense. So you would need a two boat system. Right. And then you just go on and it's
00:33:51.980
like, there was no plan to do anything at all. But you got, they got what, two people so far to
00:33:58.620
plead guilty. Yup. That, and that's what they do is they get, they, they threaten with life
00:34:05.500
in prison to, you know, these young 20 year old guys and you know, they fold and they take a cop
00:34:13.180
and say, you know what? I'll lie for you in order to get less time. I don't care.
00:34:18.780
Ty Garvin, I think is already in a halfway house. He'll be out soon.
00:34:22.620
Yeah. Yeah. The two guys who, who, who, uh, decide to cooperate against me and, and Daniel
00:34:28.060
Harris and everybody else, they're, they're already out of jail and Barry and Adam who are
00:34:32.140
still completely innocent are, you know, serving 16, 20 years, uh, for something that the FBI did.
00:34:43.660
Are you, I'm not religious, but I believe in creation and God.
00:34:46.700
Um, yeah, I'm probably in a similar spot. I only bring this up because, uh, are you, uh,
00:34:50.940
familiar with, with, um, what, uh, uh, what the, uh, the final layer of level of hell is reserved
00:34:57.340
for? No, what is that? Betrayers, traitors, the disloyal. Snitches.
00:35:02.780
Yeah. Yes. I think the, the, the, the, I, I, I fear several things, uh, in circumstances like this,
00:35:11.020
the malicious evil of these FBI agents. We're talking about malevolence that most people do
00:35:17.660
not want to believe exists. And then the more so banality of evil in the men who took plea agreements
00:35:23.420
to save themselves, knowing they were lying to do it. The scary thing is that these guys who pleaded
00:35:29.340
guilty, these are guys who presented with the opportunity from the FBI said they would rather
00:35:36.620
burn down this country than risk any harm to themselves. And that's a terrifying thought that
00:35:43.580
people like that exist because we know that evil exists and we know that goodness can stand against
00:35:48.220
it. We know there's a possibility that if we, if we, uh, we do this right and, uh, come 2024,
00:35:56.860
maybe not Donald Trump, but if we, if we do get real and effective leaders, we might see justice
00:36:02.460
brought to these, these malevolently evil FBI agents. But when you realize that so many of the
00:36:07.740
people in this world are like those who pleaded guilty and then lied to try and destroy your life,
00:36:11.660
there's a lot of complacence. How about they get promoted? These agents get promoted and
00:36:17.660
rewarded for this stuff. And I think that people see that, you know, uh, it's crazy. So, uh, you
00:36:23.660
mentioned they're malevolent, they're malicious, these agents. I don't think people really understand
00:36:28.700
that. I want to talk about Richard Trask. Richard Trask was the Bureau's public face for this case. He was
00:36:34.940
the guy that wrote your criminal complaint. He signed off on it. He was at your preliminary hearing,
00:36:39.500
right? Testified. Testified. Testified. He was their star, uh, agent, right? This man
00:36:45.500
is disgusting. He attends a swingers party in Kalamazoo with his wife. And he, when they get home,
00:36:55.980
there's an argument about the party and he tries to kill her. He, and I'm, you can see the body cam
00:37:03.500
footage. I encourage everybody to watch it. Um, Richard J. Trask, look at his arrest footage.
00:37:10.940
He tries to kill his wife. He bashes her head against the nightstand numerous times. He gets
00:37:15.660
on top of her and he tries to strangle her. Um, there's blood all over the sheets. It's on the
00:37:20.860
body cam footage. You can see it. The police are saying to each other, like this guy's counter
00:37:25.660
terrorism. He's probably armed. He is, he knows law enforcement tactics. So they're scared.
00:37:31.180
The police are saying, don't turn off any of your cameras or your recordings.
00:37:35.660
They caught, he, he fled the scene intoxicated in her vehicle, by the way.
00:37:39.900
So they're calling for after this is after we're already in jail. I'm already in jail.
00:37:44.140
He's in jail. This is wild. This guy's trying this case. He just testified at your preliminary
00:37:49.660
hearing. None of you guys committed any act of violence. They say you conspired to this is a man.
00:37:55.660
And there's a, I will say there's a correlation with domestic violence and law enforcement. There
00:38:01.100
seems to be something there. So Richard Trask, this federal agent tries to murder his wife,
00:38:06.620
flees the scene intoxicated in her vehicle. And then the police call him and they negotiate him
00:38:11.980
to turn himself in. They meet him at a parking lot. He's in his underpants. He's got blood on his face,
00:38:17.020
blood on his chest. And they open the door and they say, like, you need to get out of the vehicle.
00:38:21.580
He goes, what's this about? He's covered in blood acts like he doesn't know what's going on.
00:38:26.540
By the way, he went to court. He went to court after that. He still has his guns. He still has
00:38:31.900
his firearms. He's not in the FBI. The FBI fired him. But yeah, he's still he's they didn't they
00:38:37.900
didn't try to hit him. He didn't. Did this play a role in their trial in your trial?
00:38:41.660
Well, you know, it did, but it didn't. Right. I think there were some articles that came out
00:38:46.300
from BuzzFeed about it. So it helped as far as I remember this.
00:38:50.220
But the jury didn't get to hear about that's what makes me angry.
00:38:53.100
The jury didn't get to hear about it. But for me, like spiritually, right,
00:38:56.780
when we're talking about God and we're talking about spirituality and stuff,
00:39:00.460
it was a sign of hope to me. That's it's like, I knew these guys were like that,
00:39:06.940
you know, and if they're doing shit like this and getting caught up,
00:39:10.460
you know, the truth is going to come out and they're going to get exposed.
00:39:13.740
Oh, yeah, it is crazy to me. You know, I think about this stuff. We don't we don't need
00:39:17.580
conflict. We don't want conflict. We don't want violence.
00:39:20.460
Right. All that needed to happen in this case was for these two guys before who pleaded guilty.
00:39:25.980
They needed to say, I will not violate my integrity, my honor by lying for you to hurt someone else.
00:39:34.460
And with I guess I don't know for sure, but I asked I'll ask you, would the feds have had any case at all if these two guys did not plead?
00:39:42.460
No, none, none. And so it's only because these two cowards were willing to lie for the feds to save their own asses that we've come this far.
00:39:52.460
Yeah. And I will say, too, the court system is they protect themselves from seeing the information.
00:39:59.100
So the lawyers tried to get in exculpatory statements out of court statements, basically things that were picked up on the wire while they had all these different informants driving these guys around the country to various excursions, FBI sponsored.
00:40:13.020
Field training exercises, whatever. They're driving them around and sorry, I lost my train of thought.
00:40:21.360
They're driving around these two guys who pleaded guilty, who had lied.
00:40:27.700
What they do is they they make up scenarios and they're like, hey, let's do land navigation. Right.
00:40:32.860
And you have text messages of the FBI agents texting the informants like, hey, you know what, let's try land navigation today.
00:40:41.640
You know, such and such is at work. Why don't you try to hit up this person and that person, see if they're available.
00:40:47.720
You know, we'll pick them up in the in the vehicle, you know, take them out to do whatever and say, let's do some land navigation.
00:40:53.920
And then, you know, like what they did to Adam Fox is they pick them up and say they want to go to land navigation and then they drive hours up north in Michigan and they just go drive by like the mansion, the vacation mansion or whatever.
00:41:08.600
And then say, then lie. Right. And then say, yeah, he wanted to do that.
00:41:12.900
They give him a pen and a piece of paper and say, hey, here, why don't you draw a map of the area?
00:41:18.060
No, they drew that. They sent him pictures. The FBI agents sent him pictures.
00:41:23.500
This agent, Lauren Hastings, who was posing as a woman named Elise Marie, which was the girlfriend of another agent that was posing as somebody else online.
00:41:32.000
They sent him the FBI took pictures of Mackinac.
00:41:35.200

And they wrote markings on them and then they sent them to him in Facebook and then the government used that against him and they said, oh, look, he he got these pictures together for Mackinac Island and he was showing people this because he wanted to go drive by her house or whatever.
00:42:50.560
They did stuff like this all the time, though, like you had these informants telling some of the targets of their investigation.
00:42:58.260
Oh, I've been banned on Facebook. I want you to throw this out there.
00:43:01.280
You've got a platform still. I want you to say this about this governor or, you know, say this.
00:43:06.120
Just throw it out there and see what people say.
00:43:09.880
And then they'll use those posts against them later to say, oh, look, in February of 2020, he's complaining about a governor on Facebook.
00:43:17.460
And it's like, well, in February of 2020, you had informants, multiple informants that were working him and manipulating him and telling him to do these things.
00:43:27.000
And technically, their investigation doesn't start until March of 2020.
00:43:31.700
So why are these informants in contact with people before?
00:43:36.780
Yeah. So there's, you know, our trial was the main one. Six of us charged federally. That was the first trial.
00:43:43.940
I was acquitted on that on my birthday, by the way, which was absolutely amazing. Best birthday present ever.
00:43:51.120
I mean, you shouldn't have been locked up in the first place.
00:43:56.000
Yeah. So me and Dan were acquitted on that one. There was a mistrial for Adam Fox and Barry Croft.
00:44:02.520
And then after the mistrial, there's another trial and they got a retrial for Adam and Barry.
00:44:06.520
Yep. And then they had a state case. So what they did was they arrested us six guys and then said that essentially it was this whole group, the Wolverine Watchmen. Right.
00:44:17.900
And then we were like the leaders and the enforcers. So then.
00:44:22.120
But how they criminally prosecute is something I've never really seen before because they take one group because they know they don't have a case. Right.
00:44:28.960
They got to separate it. So they get one federal case and then they separate, oh, two other state cases.
00:44:34.820
And so far, the three other guys in the state cases, they all got convicted.
00:44:39.780
What happened with that? I wasn't it that certain evidence wasn't allowed to be admitted.
00:44:43.520
They were charged with providing material support for terrorism, which was like they let somebody use their property for training or they taught somebody how to tie a tourniquet or whatever.
00:44:53.760
And they're now saying that's like aiding and abetting a terrorist.
00:44:57.360
So what Michigan has very unique anti-terrorism laws that were passed in 2002 in the wake of 9-11 that have enhancements for like aiding and abetting.
00:45:05.700
So if you were like an American citizen and you were like assisting Al-Qaeda and then an Al-Qaeda terrorist committed an act of terrorism, they're basically saying if you aided and abetted them, you can be charged with the same thing and you'd be punished to the same extent as them.
00:45:20.980
So they had this aiding and abetting thing for that that they used on these guys for providing material support.
00:45:27.600
They said they were aiding and abetting a case.
00:45:30.700
And then as soon as they get the plea agreements, they now have the legal standard of this proves it.
00:45:37.860
Therefore, anybody who gave them anything that proves that.
00:45:43.000
And it it's kind of goofy the way he you know, he said they had this thing and then they broke it up.
00:45:48.680
So they they broke it up into the federal case and then the two state cases.
00:45:52.780
They needed the guys in the federal case, those two that took the plea deal to take the plea deal because they needed those convictions.
00:45:59.740
So that in the state cases, you can't provide material support for a T act if it didn't happen and there is no conspiracy.
00:46:08.220
So to get those guys in the state cases, they first had to get you all in the federal case or at least get somebody to take a plea deal and say there was a conspiracy, you know, and then they can get them for providing material support for that.
00:46:21.260
And the providing material support, what they were claiming it was, was, you know, Second Amendment protected activity.
00:46:27.800
So, like, you got a group of dudes that like shooting guns and you say, hey, why don't you come over my property?
00:46:33.220
And then if those guys, you know, six months later, get arrested by the FBI, say, well, oh, well, you were providing material support for these guys.
00:46:46.580
You helped them successfully try to implement this plot.
00:46:51.820
You know, they said they were running a terror, a terrorist training camp.
00:46:54.960
And it's like, wait, you mean the FBI was like the these are the FBI sponsored field training exercises.
00:47:03.600
You know, the Wolverine Watchmen group that he's talking about, they're a small militia group in Michigan, mostly online.
00:47:13.960
It's founded in 2019 by two guys, Joe Morrison and Pete Musico.
00:47:24.280
And then they say all these other guys that were not members of this militia group that just kind of knew these guys.
00:47:30.480
They said that they were members and they put together this map with like 45 people and they tried to say it was a gang.
00:47:38.080
Now they have had gang charges for some of the guys that provided material support.
00:47:42.860
The state case, they've given them gang charges.
00:47:45.540
So they're now trying to basically say militias are violent gangs because law enforcement can create task forces to go after gangs and they can work with the feds for that.
00:47:56.660
So I thought that was a very interesting aspect of this.
00:47:59.800
They want to talk about providing material support, right?
00:48:03.500
The entire time the feds are giving their informants these gigantic credit cards and telling everyone, hey, why don't you go buy a 50 cal rifle?
00:48:11.660
Or, hey, why don't you go buy like a bunch of ammunition and a bunch of gear?
00:48:21.000
So they never even no one ever even took the bait on that.
00:48:23.580
OK, yeah, the credit cards was for a charity that the informant that was a pedo was running called Race to Unite Races.
00:48:33.620
They were like five thousand dollar credit cards.
00:48:37.060
And they were kind of shoving that towards them at the end because they wanted to wrap this up before the election.
00:48:43.900
And in their text messages, the FBI agents are saying to each other in the informants in like May of 2020.
00:48:52.880
In September of 2020, the FBI admits that there's no plan.
00:48:56.840
And that's why they have to introduce the undercover agent Red to pose as an explosives expert to try to get these guys to put down a down payment for like a C4 or something, some kind of explosive that could take out a bridge or whatever.
00:49:10.980
Nobody bought nobody gave this guy money for the explosives.
00:49:15.020
But this is like what they're doing, the FBI, to try to fabricate this and make it look like there was something so they could arrest these guys right before the election.
00:49:25.760
I wonder, I can only assume more things like this are still happening.
00:49:31.540
So what's weird is it seems like this case is springs out of like a bigger operation that it looks like the FBI was involved in going back to 2018 and 19,
00:49:42.540
where it seemed like they were interested in infiltrating the Midwest militia movement.
00:49:46.800
They created a fake militia group called the Midwest Coalition through one of their informants.
00:49:52.420
The informants in this case, a lot of them were posing as heads of the state chapters of a fake militia group that the FBI completely fabricated called the Patriot Three Percenters.
00:50:05.980
Steve Robeson, an informant, was posing as the head of the Wisconsin chapter.
00:50:09.780
Jenny Plunk, another informant, was posing as the head of the Tennessee chapter.
00:50:14.980
They inducted Adam Fox, who the government called the ringleader of this, the homeless man living in the basement of the VAC shack that had no running water.
00:50:24.880
Yeah, they inducted him to make him the head of the Michigan chapter of, again, a fake militia group.
00:50:30.360
So, man, thinking about all this, plus, you know, we're now entering this new election cycle, things starting to ramp up already.
00:50:44.460
If we've seen that there are criminal elements of the federal government that are never held accountable,
00:50:49.360
held accountable, are willing to engage in the most vile and maliciously evil behavior to win power,
00:50:55.920
I can only imagine what's going to happen 2024 with the depravity of these individuals.
00:51:02.880
And, you know, there's a lot of concerns about the 2020 election.
00:51:06.320
You know, Donald Trump obviously says that it was stolen from and all those things.
00:51:08.460
What I see there is the manipulation of state-level government for things like universal mail-in voting.
00:51:15.540
But what we see with this story, with your story, is direct – you know, I'll put it this way.
00:51:20.900
I don't think they care if you got convicted or not.
00:51:25.720
They did need at least one plea agreement, so they can start the whole thing.
00:51:30.360
But I think the only thing they really cared about was getting the October surprise.
00:51:37.540
I'd imagine they – as soon as they got the AP to report the arrest, they said – they popped the champagne, dropped a mission accomplished, and said, all right.
00:51:46.120
Well, they did, too, because one of the lead FBI guys for the Detroit field office, Anthony N. Duantano –
00:51:55.500
He was immediately promoted to the Washington, D.C. field office to – he wound up overseeing the January 6th stuff.
00:52:06.240
I have to talk about that real quick, if you don't mind.
00:52:09.600
So one of the aspects of his case is that during the lockdowns in 2020, there were anti-lockdown rallies in Lansing, in Michigan.
00:52:19.180
And it was – everybody showed up for this, left, right, whatever.
00:52:28.680
And the informants, you know, he – the informant, Big Dan, is wearing his wire.
00:52:34.600
The FBI has agents stationed all around the capital at Lansing while this lockdown protest is happening.
00:52:40.020
They've got agents listening in, watching it in real time.
00:52:43.480
This guy, the informant, Dan, says on his wire, these guys, I think they're getting ready to do something.
00:52:50.940
They had their guns on and, like, their plate carriers.
00:52:53.880
And they just – they're looking scary, you know, at this rally.
00:52:58.620
So the FBI, listening in to their informant, calls the Lansing Capitol Police and tells them,
00:53:05.480
we want you to stand down, open the doors, and let everybody in.
00:53:13.140
You'll see pictures of the Wolverine watchmen in there.
00:53:17.340
So this was the trial run for January 6th, all oversaw by the Detroit field office.
00:53:23.320
Now, the guys in the Wolverine watchmen that are there that day, they stand in line peacefully.
00:53:30.320
They occupy the building for, like, four hours, and then they leave peacefully.
00:53:33.700
But the media the next day runs with the pictures of these guys in there.
00:53:37.920
And the narrative of, like, right-wing, white supremacist, militia groups storming capitals.
00:53:45.000
And so the gentleman who was overseeing the Detroit field office at that time, special agent Stephen D'Antuono,
00:53:51.860
he is promoted one week after you guys get arrested, October 7th, 2020.
00:53:57.060
He is promoted October 13th, 2020, by Christopher Wray himself to be the assistant director of the Washington, D.C. field office.
00:54:06.080
He's working that day on January 6th, overseeing another incidental storming of the Capitol that we now know had FBI informants present in groups like the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and just there in general.
00:54:19.340
We now know there were undercover Metropolitan Police Department people.
00:54:22.840
They're on camera telling people they're dressed like Trump voters.
00:54:26.440
They're on camera telling people, move forward, move forward.
00:54:31.320
Yes, so D'Antuono is overseeing all of this on January 6th.
00:54:37.240
He then retires right before Republicans take over, and they have the weaponization committee, and they start looking into this stuff.
00:54:48.160
But he's now being celebrated by Republicans because he said the obvious about the Mar-a-Lago raid.
00:54:58.320
Well, sir, like, was everything you've done the past five years been politically motivated?
00:55:04.120
Yeah, maybe he's hedging his bets in case Donald Trump gets elected.
00:55:08.800
And the Republicans on the weaponization committee, they had this guy there.
00:55:12.980
They got him to answer questions about the pipe bomber on January 6th in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
00:55:19.540
They don't ask him anything about anything else related to January 6th.
00:55:26.660
So I would suggest they need to bring him back in and ask him questions.
00:55:30.560
Yeah, maybe we're just looking at a whole lot of controlled opposition.
00:55:32.440
When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.

00:56:36.300
Another interesting aspect of this is one of the lead handling agents on the case, Honrick Impala.
00:56:41.380
He was accused of perjury by a U.S. attorney, a former attorney, Brian P. Lennon,
00:56:46.920
in committing perjury in a prior case involving informants.
00:56:50.060
He was basically accused of gross misconduct by a U.S. attorney who, for whatever reason,
00:56:55.620
felt like his conduct was bad enough that he needed to alert Duantuono in February of
00:57:00.980
2020, warning, saying this guy, this agent needs to be, he recommended he be turned over
00:57:06.180
to the FBI's OPR Internal Affairs Division for an investigation.
00:57:10.140
He sends that letter to Duantuono and to Stuart Platt, the assistant director of the FBI, warning
00:57:20.220
One month later, he's a lead handling agent in the Whitmer case.
00:57:27.480
As far as I know, there's been no investigation into that.
00:57:32.880
They're now criminally charging the former president federally.
00:57:38.860
They indicted him in federal court in Miami, arrested and arraigned.
00:57:42.560
And now Georgia is planning to do the same thing.
00:57:44.620
It feels like this country is on the verge of imploding.
00:57:52.960
And if we remember back then, too, they tried to say that we like we were Trump's henchmen
00:57:59.320
They were trying to say that we were working for Trump and Trump hired us to go get Gretchen.
00:58:04.620
Because if we remember back then, Trump and Gretchen had that beef where, you know, Trump
00:58:09.500
was calling her out or not giving her enough money or something like that.
00:58:13.280
And so the government, along with the with the disgusting corporate media, decided to say,
00:58:19.080
oh, these were all Trump supporters and blah, blah, blah.
00:58:21.380
Well, then a video of me leaks out where I'm like criticizing Trump, you know, because
00:58:35.800
They couldn't put me in the box that they wanted.
00:58:39.720
Ultimately, you know, and that's where they failed about the whole Trump thing.
00:58:44.080
No, they tried to do that with the Boogaloo boys.
00:58:46.340
So the only problem is you have a video of Boogaloo boys shaking hands with Antifa.
00:58:50.060
Yeah, because these guys don't fit the narrative the media was trying to create.
00:58:56.080
But then you get a viral video where I can't remember what it was.
00:58:58.660
It might have been like SF or something where Antifa says you stood with us today.
00:59:01.700
We thank you for this and shakes hand with some Boogaloo boys who are not hardcore, right?
00:59:10.620
I'm not going to presume to know everything about them, but that certainly struck a hole in
00:59:15.980
Yeah, but you mentioned it seems like they're trying to instigate it.
00:59:19.160
And I have to wonder, you know, you can't look at what they're doing and
00:59:23.520
the degree of sophistication required to pull off a plot like this.
00:59:28.800
Well, it's not the smartest thing in the world.
00:59:30.460
It's certainly take some degree of sophistication.
00:59:32.480
And I feel like anybody who understands, you know, one plus one equals two in this circumstance
00:59:37.400
knows everything they're doing leads to social destabilization.
00:59:41.820
So perhaps this criminal element in the federal government is trying to destroy this country.
00:59:50.040
I mean, the things they accused Trump of, they were all false.
00:59:53.800
The protection of Joe Biden after the Burisma scandal.
00:59:57.060
Joe Biden admitted on camera to threatening to illegally withhold loan guarantees and no
01:00:04.940
When Donald Trump says, let's look into this, they impeach him for it.
01:00:08.180
So I wonder if, I mean, the degree to which this nation is captured is intense.
01:00:14.060
I wonder if these criminal elements, if they're trying to destroy or destabilize the country,
01:00:19.620
or if they're so desperate to stop Donald Trump that they're getting sloppy.
01:00:26.600
They're going to the most extreme degree possible.
01:00:30.320
I mean, they definitely want to destabilize because, you know, they can't.
01:00:34.320
It's when we look at tyrannies that have happened in history, you know, these things happen kind
01:00:38.440
of slowly over time and, and they don't just like show up with, with guns and just take
01:00:48.080
If you can politically polarize, you know, uh, the entire United States population and get
01:00:54.240
as many people polarized as you can, and then start pushing, start aggressing and pushing
01:01:00.740
certain psyops and dynamics where people get mad about this or that.
01:01:04.880
And then once something violent happens, whether the, the feds got to create it or not, it doesn't
01:01:10.560
matter because they can bring order out of that chaos that they created.
01:01:14.340
And right now the FBI is creating crime in order to stop crime.
01:01:21.880
Historically, the feds are notorious for providing the materials to their target and then saying,
01:01:26.200
aha, look, and it's like, if you did not do, if you did not do this, there would be nothing.
01:01:32.840
You know, some, some, uh, they've done it with, with, uh, with Muslims.
01:01:36.280
They, whenever they try to justify their own existence, now they're doing it to try and
01:01:43.660
I'm curious, where do you think this all, uh, this all goes?
01:01:46.420
I mean, what, we're, we're, uh, right at the point where the president has had his rival
01:01:54.380
I mean, you know, I don't, I don't know what, what is going to happen specifically, but what
01:01:59.460
I do know is that what we can do is look, organize with, with people you love and care
01:02:06.420
about, stay close with people and talk to each other about what's going on in the world
01:02:11.680
because we need to pay attention, have some storageable food, you know, get some training
01:02:17.100
with firearms, understand, have some backup water filtration systems, you know, and prepare
01:02:23.080
yourself just in case something happens because you want to put yourself in a position where
01:02:29.360
you're able to sustain yourself for a long period of time without relying on the state
01:02:36.280
And then you want to have a community of like-minded people who understand morality, who understand
01:02:43.240
principles, who understand rights so that you guys can work together to protect yourselves
01:02:49.340
because, you know, whether the government's coming down on you or not, if a situation
01:02:53.980
like this happens and, and, and whether the dollar collapses or whatever it may be, there's
01:02:58.440
going to be people out there that, that didn't prepare like you did, and they're going to want
01:03:04.500
There's the, uh, what, what, what is the saying?
01:03:07.400
The, the, the, the people who are stockpiling, but are unarmed are just storing food for those
01:03:15.440
You know, we, we talk about how to, you know, what you should do in the, in the event of
01:03:20.860
I feel like with everything we've seen with Bud Light, the, uh, people are waking up.
01:03:25.820
They're starting to realize the media has been lying to them more and more and more.
01:03:28.960
They're starting to feel more and more comfortable.
01:03:29.980
And so I think what we're likely to see is these criminal elements of government that,
01:03:35.240
um, I mean, these are, these are discernibly and provably criminal elements to Joe Biden
01:03:38.700
admitting on camera that he illegally threatened to withhold loan guarantees.
01:03:43.080
I mean, more and more information's coming out.
01:03:45.040
Uh, so the clearly criminal elements plus the Hunter Biden stuff, come on.
01:03:49.300
But the more we, more I see here, I think they're losing.
01:03:51.840
I think the things they do with you and others are acts of pure desperation in an attempt to,
01:03:59.580
It is when someone is drowning, they start splashing around violently and crazily.
01:04:06.980
My prediction is, well, a lot of people are predicting very, very dark and catastrophic
01:04:12.760
Yeah, I think you're going to see a lot of crazy stuff.
01:04:14.740
I think you'll probably see riding from the left.
01:04:18.820
Uh, but I ultimately think regular people were getting to that point where it's like
01:04:24.300
that scene in V for Vendetta where the cop shoots the little girl.
01:04:26.740
And then finally the people just, it shows them all angrily walking up to the cop and
01:04:32.540
But that point where the authority of the officer who's committed the crime no longer
01:04:35.960
matters and people are now standing up for their communities.
01:04:39.600
What I mean to say in that regard is it's, it's going to come a point where the media puts
01:04:48.160
They're going to try and sway people, manipulate people, and people are not going to be buying
01:04:52.520
They're going to say, I don't want to be involved in that.
01:04:54.540
I think it really might come down to Bud Light as this major catalyst.
01:04:58.720
It's funny how we can go from like the FBI hoax terror plot to people don't want to buy
01:05:05.460
Things is significant because what it shows is that people may actually be more scared to
01:05:11.480
be the person buying the beer than to be the person boycotting it.
01:05:15.040
And when that cultural shift happens, the machine has collapsed.
01:05:19.240
So, you know, I'm hearing stories of prominent personalities who are totally not political
01:05:24.480
going on their shows and being like, I'm not woke.
01:05:31.460
Because this, this machine narrative is becoming perceivably unpopular.
01:05:35.360
People are starting to find that, you know, if they're on the other side of things saying,
01:05:38.840
hey, we don't want this stuff, they get more views, they get more traffic, they get more
01:05:43.500
And this shift is maybe partially due to Elon Musk buying Twitter.
01:05:48.720
It could be a, a, a massive cultural tsunami that they could just not control, but their
01:05:54.440
attempt at subverting this country and manipulating it is, it's ultimately failing.
01:06:00.400
You know, I look at your story, actually the acquittal, and I do think their ultimate goal
01:06:06.580
That's what they wanted to manipulate the election.
01:06:08.180
They got it, but now they can't control the aftermath.
01:06:14.260
They probably influenced the election and helped Whitmer get elected.
01:06:17.420
It was shocking that we saw these people get reelected.
01:06:23.780
And so now it feels like short, short term, you know, maybe as we move forward, things are
01:06:32.140
So, so my, my, my prediction right now, as it would seem is the stuff we're all talking
01:06:37.620
about with the FBI and these manipulations still happening, probably, probably going to get worse.
01:06:41.700
But I think it'll have much, much less of an impact.
01:06:44.000
The next time they do a plot like this, I think a lot of people are going to be like,
01:06:51.160
That's ultimately like, you know, the solution to, if enough people understand that it's
01:06:58.720
There, there doesn't need to be any force required because enough people understand the
01:07:05.960
And if they say, you know what, in my mind, like the authority that you claimed you have
01:07:13.980
Therefore, whatever you're telling me to do, I, you don't, I don't believe it.
01:07:19.760
January 6th, you know, they, they really, really wanted to hammer that one, but I think
01:07:28.060
I think even like normies are questioning January 6th.
01:07:32.200
Now, I think all of their narratives are falling apart and I think they're very desperate.
01:07:35.440
I really do think that this is sort of like, you know, the end of the empire.
01:07:41.720
And like you said, when an animal feels cornered, it lashes out kind of crazily.
01:07:47.120
And, um, an interesting thing about their case, like that's the purpose of doing a documentary
01:07:51.900
about it to tell the story is I learned so much more about it, investigating it myself
01:07:56.440
and doing the documentary, talking to these guys personally than I did from any media story
01:08:07.380
And to tell that full story, I think a documentary can really reach everybody.
01:08:11.960
And I think it takes something like that to show people that the FBI lies so much.
01:08:17.460
And I think that for Americans, you are, you know, we've been raised with shows like
01:08:23.240
Americans have this idea that like lawyers and FBI agents don't lie or they did for the
01:08:31.940
I think actually they did it for SVU, for instance, did a very good job of showing how
01:08:39.780
But I think there's this sort of like Americans think that if, if a grand jury returns an indictment,
01:08:46.540
If a prosecutor says something, they must be telling the truth.
01:08:49.960
They don't think that these lawyers or prosecutors, U.S. attorneys lie, that there's still the
01:08:55.060
sort of, you know, authority and prestige that comes with that.
01:08:58.560
That's why they have such a high conviction rate.
01:09:00.860
You know, they have like a 99.8% conviction rate that guys like this, when they're being
01:09:05.340
framed, are up against the world's most powerful government.
01:09:11.020
I think the, um, a local outlet, Wood TV, I think they investigated how much money in your
01:09:17.360
defense lawyers the FBI spent trying to frame you guys.
01:09:24.680
They had planes flying at like 15,000 feet following Barry as he's like driving his truck
01:09:30.540
as a long haul trucker for almost an entire year before they start introducing him to his
01:09:40.020
When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.

01:10:41.720
And I think people really don't understand that.
01:10:43.660
But I think seeing it, though, takes away that power that these people have.
01:10:46.900
Because once you peel back the curtains and you see it for what it is, you understand that
01:10:51.440
this is not legitimate law enforcement activity.
01:10:53.840
There wasn't a crime in motion and an informant just observed and reported back to law enforcement
01:11:01.440
This was the FBI manufacturing it, planning the whole thing, introducing people to each other
01:11:08.040
that didn't know each other, staging the theatrical FTXs so they could film them.
01:11:17.720
They said they were modeling it after her vacation cottage so they could train and practice
01:11:23.980
Their informants are picked up on a wire suggesting that you take out her security detail.
01:11:30.840
They were the ones that made suggestions of firing some rounds into governors' homes.
01:11:40.200
Them suggesting these crimes is actually de-escalation somehow.
01:11:44.520
They said that we should put Tannerite in different governors' driveways, shoot it and blow it up
01:11:49.440
to send a message and mail the governors the shell casings.
01:11:55.000
They have another informant who's doing the same thing.
01:11:58.420
He's trying to convince a disabled Vietnam veteran from Virginia named Frank Butler that
01:12:04.860
he should kidnap and kill Ralph Northam, recruit a bunch of people in his area to help him carry
01:12:10.820
And the FBI informant, Dan Chappell, texts him a recipe to make an explosive from household
01:12:17.800
items like Drano and sugar and then tells him to double the ingredients.
01:12:22.120
This is an elderly, disabled Vietnam veteran that the FBI is trying to coax into doing this
01:12:35.980
There's the banality of evil and there's the malevolent evil.
01:12:38.900
They wanted it to be, by the way, like a multi-state terror plot.
01:12:42.500
They wanted this happening in multiple governors' homes.
01:12:44.980
They're just really bad at what they do, to be honest.
01:12:46.880
I mean, you know, we talk about this story and they may have succeeded with the news
01:12:52.380
You know, if their end result was a multi-state thing, I'm looking at it all of a sudden, I'm
01:12:56.900
hearing these stories and I'm just like, sending the wrong address?
01:13:03.660
You know, if you're going to carry out a conspiracy, geez, these FBI guys.
01:13:08.200
Texting the plans to each other, to each other, the informants, the agents texting each
01:13:11.920
Well, let's talk about the questions of why they do it.
01:13:17.180
Why would they want to subvert and steal elections?
01:13:20.800
I have a big, larger, worldly picture of this, but I'm curious why you think they did it.
01:13:25.640
I think they did it because I think that they want to have control.
01:13:28.580
I think they need to have control of the narrative.
01:13:35.240
And I think they like destroying people, you know, and I think that they saw these guys
01:13:39.780
from Michigan, working class white guys from Detroit.
01:13:46.840
I mean, I think there's like an apparatus within the government that you, you can work
01:13:54.520
up and you have these agencies and, you know, your politicians and your law enforcement and
01:14:00.260
But it's almost like there's this like secret evil apparatus within it.
01:14:05.620
That's almost kind of like people know about it.
01:14:08.360
And if you get in with this person and with that person and you, you know, succeed at creating
01:14:14.040
this fake plot or whatever, then you start getting promoted.
01:14:17.400
So regardless of your position, whether you're, you know, federal law enforcement or a federal
01:14:23.140
prosecutor, you can advance your, everyone has an incentive to advance their careers at
01:14:31.960
And ultimately that creates an even bigger conspiracy within the government that, you know, is orchestrating
01:14:40.000
a lot of the things, a lot of the evil that we see in society right now.
01:14:43.740
So I think, uh, my view of it is, as I mentioned, malicious, malintent, and the banality of evil,
01:14:51.640
I would describe as how, how you're saying people are advancing their careers.
01:14:55.300
You probably have a lot of people who are just like, all I know is they told me these guys
01:15:01.140
And then you've got people who are like, yeah, I don't know a whole lot, but man, this is
01:15:11.580
But in the bigger picture, I think you have the, the, uh, malicious evil as an emerging out
01:15:18.300
of what they would probably perceive as being good intentions.
01:15:27.680
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
01:15:29.220
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
01:15:33.780
I see right now around the world, you have many foreign nations saying they're going to
01:15:43.040
You have conflict in Ukraine, Russia trying to take the Donbass, Crimea, et cetera.
01:15:46.740
I mean, Russia has always had Crimea for the most part, but, and now it looks like they're
01:15:51.260
I mean, this narrative that Russia's losing is every single day it comes out, but then
01:15:54.840
you look at the maps of Russian territorial control and they own the Donbass.
01:15:57.760
It's like, how are they, how are you claiming they're losing?
01:16:00.860
But I see the, um, what they would describe as the liberal economic order.
01:16:06.740
The council on foreign relations calls it the right post-world war two.
01:16:12.520
So we need to create a liberal economic order, a liberal world order where we have military
01:16:19.440
And I see within this two things, there are elements in the U S government that are concerned
01:16:29.540
And if it does, the standard of living of the average American will plummet tenfold.
01:16:38.560
And so you end up with people who work at Buzzfeed, writing garbage articles about Brad
01:16:42.860
Pitt's junk, but getting paid $90,000 a year, which makes literally no sense.
01:16:47.140
A working class tradesman makes, you know, apprentices make less than that, even though
01:16:52.940
Well, the reality is we print the money, we control it.
01:16:59.080
And so I believe there's elements of the government who feel we must do everything in our power,
01:17:04.340
no matter who we have to sacrifice to maintain this system.
01:17:08.560
And I believe this because for one, we know about the economic order.
01:17:11.280
We know about when it comes to the war in Ukraine, a lot of this is related to getting
01:17:21.020
Long and circuitous explanations of history to explain how this all ties into trying to
01:17:26.200
frame this guy who's before me, but you have the Qatar Turkey pipeline.
01:17:29.820
The purpose here is they want to build a pipeline from Iraq through Syria, Turkey into Europe
01:17:34.920
to bring cheaper gas to offset the Russian Gazprom gas monopoly, which controls about
01:17:40.000
20% of the gas into Europe, jacking up the prices.
01:17:45.860
This conveniently for us, civil war breaks out in Syria, and we just happen to be opposed
01:17:51.480
And then you get Crimea, you get this conflict, and it all seems interrelated.
01:17:55.200
The reason we wanted cheaper energy into Europe is so that the European Union bloc could compete
01:18:01.000
And the reason for that is because China is trying to get off the petrodollar and it's
01:18:04.800
encouraging more and more nations to do so, and they've done so effectively with Saudi
01:18:08.480
And when the petrodollar falls, we all become much, much poorer.
01:18:24.580
Turkey said, ban these people or we ban your social media website.
01:18:29.860
And Elon said, well, that's not a choice at all.
01:18:32.380
Take down two people or a million, lose access to this communication platform.
01:18:40.300
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
01:18:42.360
So Elon did the only thing he thought he could do.
01:18:46.180
But it's the same mentality brought forth by all of those who engage in, ultimately, in
01:18:52.400
I'm not saying Elon's evil or what he did was evil.
01:18:54.000
I'm saying it is a component that leads itself to how many grains of sand.
01:19:01.840
I had a conversation with him years ago when he banned several people.
01:19:05.800
And the gist of the conversation was, I have been told if I don't ban this one guy,
01:19:17.960
Tell them, I dare you to shut down the income of the most influential people in this country
01:19:25.600
And when they all say, why is my money coming in?
01:19:27.720
I can tell them as CEO, guys, it is this financial service provider that took away your money.
01:19:34.960
But the concern is among the CEO is the utilitarian approach.
01:19:39.280
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, which brings us to this political
01:19:43.160
People at the highest levels, not all evil, but I should say not all intentionally trying
01:19:55.820
And so when presented with this scenario, if the Trump supporting America first nationalists
01:20:07.760
The petrodollar will collapse and this country will fall.
01:20:10.320
So you choose, they say this, to these agents, to these government officials, you have the
01:20:17.480
We can sacrifice these six guys, just six guys, you know, and we can save 300 million.
01:20:25.120
Or if you want to have 300 million suffer because you were unwilling to do what needed to be done,
01:20:32.640
Well, I think this is the mentality they use to justify the things they do.
01:20:36.400
I happen to be more of a deontological thinker in terms of morality, which is you cannot take
01:20:44.800
The idea that they would try to destroy your life and sacrifice you.
01:20:47.780
If we are to live in a society that does that, we're no better than the Soviet Union or any other
01:20:52.400
Why should I fear the rise of a Chinese superpower that would suppress and depress its people when
01:20:59.400
our country does the exact same thing to maintain its power, its sphere of influence?
01:21:04.160
The only difference becomes which religion and which financial institution has control.
01:21:08.880
If we do not defend the rights of the individual, then there is no point in trying to preserve
01:21:17.740
I could be naive thinking that there is this attempt at nobility among a lot of these people.
01:21:23.360
It could really just be careerism, mindless, zombie-like march towards the destruction of
01:21:32.760
But I think at the higher levels, they're justifying everything they do, saying it's for
01:21:36.820
the greater good and they're utilitarians, which is funny because I brought this up before.
01:21:42.360
Utilitarianism is typically depicted in media as the evil, as the bad guys.
01:21:49.920
Now you're looking at people who are outright saying it's painful and it sucks, but we have
01:22:02.100
They're hoping that the ends will be a more prosperous country, you know, American supremacy,
01:22:13.700
And if this country has decided it will sacrifice your life for the betterment of other people,
01:22:19.940
then we are the oppressive, tyrannical regime now.
01:22:27.400
To these FBI agents, the ones who may think they're good guys, probably not the guy who
01:22:30.280
was beaten trying to murder his wife, probably just a bad guy.
01:22:32.960
But there are agents who think, you know, and they might cry themselves to sleep at night
01:22:36.980
saying, you know, I'm doing bad things, but I know it's for the greater good.
01:22:43.280
You have created the tyrannical regime that you think you're fighting against.
01:22:49.460
And I would say Jason Chambers, one of the agents that was handling this case, he was
01:22:58.480
And he was trying to launch his own private intelligence firm, a global intelligence firm
01:23:04.200
And he was seeking like million dollar contracts to advise the government on cases of DT.
01:23:09.920
And he was also seeking contracts with state governments to provide event security, venue
01:23:16.780
Which is fascinating when you look at what happened with the storming of the Capitol.
01:23:20.940
It's like, well, at the same time, he's negotiating contracts to sell his products for lots of money.
01:23:28.660
He also was apparently using some woman he was paying as a CHS, as a confidential source
01:23:35.320
He was giving her envelopes of cash for work she was doing to launch his.
01:23:39.080
When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.
01:23:44.420
So on behalf of Desjardins Insurance, I'm standing 20,000 feet above sea level to tell

There's just one house rule to create the perfect online casino for you.
01:24:16.260
We've built a world-class lineup of classic casino games such as roulette and blackjack
01:24:20.140
and crafted a virtual range of the best slots, including Atlantean treasures.
01:24:26.880
So whenever you're feeling playful, head to Jackpot City and you'll be endlessly entertained.
01:24:31.220
Jackpot City, casino games perfectly made for you.
01:24:45.580
I think some of them have their own reasons for doing things.
01:24:51.860
But I also think that some of these agents are young.
01:24:56.020
And I think that a lot of the younger agents are trained now to see people in this way.
01:25:00.560
So a lot of the things from the global war on terror, it seems like they're moving that and shifting it to a domestic war on terror and taking all of those excesses, turning it inward now because those wars are kind of over for the most part.
01:25:12.780
So now it's like, do we really want to see things like extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation?
01:25:21.840
Like we want to see that happening to Americans.
01:25:23.500
You could argue it is a DC Gulag and things like that for the January Sixers.
01:25:28.920
Yeah, and something with Jason Chambers as well, you know, with Exa Intel, these people are, they are filled with evil because if you look at the symbolism of his company, you know how they say like, you know, certain corporations and stuff, they have these occult symbols that represent their company or whatever.
01:25:49.900
And Jason Chambers and Jason Chambers company, Exa Intel had this, you know, very weird pyramid with an eye in the center and then had some Latin around it that essentially means like the devil knows, like the devil, you know, or the one who knows all, you know, it was like a Latin.
01:26:15.760
And it's like, wait a second, you know, and this guy's trying to make millions of dollars.
01:26:25.940
And I think we should all fear a world in which the individual is treated like a single cell in a multicellular organism.
01:26:36.700
We were talking about this, I think this was last week.
01:26:38.580
And with AI, with the centralization of powers, imagine a world in which when you're born, you're told your job is going to be a warehouse administrator.
01:26:58.080
And if you deviate, they come and they just remove you like any cancer in the body.
01:27:03.620
You know, individual cells that are crawling all over the place, little bacteria or whatever, are independent individuals and they can live about their little bacteria lives.
01:27:11.540
Within our bodies is, what do we have, like billions, trillions of cells or whatever.
01:27:17.040
If they deviate from that function, they get destroyed.
01:27:19.780
You can understand why that makes it, why it's good for our bodies that we destroy cancerous cells that deviates are doing who knows what, making weird ass crap.
01:27:27.880
But think about what that means in the macro sense.
01:27:29.760
If a society starts treating people that way, your job is to be this.
01:27:35.060
And if you deviate from it, we will destroy you.
01:27:40.460
That's what our government is creating, whether they want to or not.
01:27:43.740
And we're at the point now where you have your purpose and if you deviate, we destroy you.
01:27:51.080
And, you know, look, in the long run, they say you'll be happy and you'll own nothing.
01:27:56.600
And I think it's crazy how fast these technological advances are happening.
01:28:00.920
It gives me nightmares to think about the kind of pre-crime society, because I think we're already moving into that, right?
01:28:08.440
There's not really like a lot of legal precedent about things like AI and how data analytics are used.
01:28:14.740
And, you know, we know there's companies like Cambridge Analytica and others, SEL, that have 5,000 to 8,000 unique data points on each voter.
01:28:23.820
They know more about you than you know about yourself.
01:28:26.080
And then they have the ability to kind of curate your news feed and nudge you.
01:28:30.880
I think the – so are you familiar with the concept of singularity?
01:28:37.140
Everything comes together and AI takes over and stuff like that.
01:28:39.440
But I think AI has the potential in a very short amount of time or potentially even now, because we don't know what military tech or black ops has been working on.
01:28:48.280
I think it can predict the past and the future.
01:28:51.080
And when I say the past is, Norm MacDonald had this really funny line where he was like, you know, I was reading about history and the good guys won every war.
01:29:00.840
But when we look back at history, we can only take the word of the historians who wrote about it.
01:29:04.700
I think with AI, we can accurately map out all the time.
01:29:10.060
With the future, it's – the further we move away from the present, it becomes more probabilistic in that 20% likelihood, 10% likelihood.
01:29:18.760
But I think it'll get more and more certain in that – you know, I was at the rock shop.
01:29:24.860
They have this mall out here where they sell rocks.
01:29:30.480
And I said, imagine there is a jigsaw puzzle on a table and there's one piece missing from that puzzle.
01:29:37.200
We as humans can look at the puzzle, see the hole, and then go, oh, and put it right in that spot.
01:29:51.460
The AI has access to all of our data, all of our scientific instruments.
01:29:54.600
It knows exactly where that rock probably came from and where it fits in.
01:29:58.020
And then it can probably calculate over time how everything moved, where that rock came from a thousand years ago.
01:30:08.060
So what I see with that, you mentioned pre-crime.
01:30:12.140
People need to understand that we're already there.
01:30:15.060
We are already at the point where it was a few years ago we talked about this.
01:30:23.920
Facebook can tell because of all the data they've tracked from all of you, from every single person, what you will do next.
01:30:31.240
So we don't notice these things because, like I mentioned, we can't see the full jigsaw puzzle.
01:30:42.080
Every single human does this one weird thing 40 minutes before ordering lunch.
01:30:49.400
Or they find that 72% of the time, a person will walk a certain amount of distance before they order lunch.
01:30:58.140
Now they can predict whether or not you will order lunch and they can sell you an ad.
01:31:02.260
Now you do something that's seemingly innocuous like you go to the bathroom, right?
01:31:10.260
If you're sitting at your desk at work for an hour, then you get up and you move 10 meters and go back to your desk.
01:31:18.460
Instantly, the algorithm knows this correlates very heavily with an order for lunch.
01:31:23.480
And it could be very simple because if someone's sitting at their desk and they get up, they're probably going to order lunch or talk to a friend and ask them what they want.
01:31:31.580
But there could be something seemingly so nonsensical.
01:31:33.820
Like a person who checks their phone has a 17% chance of then drinking a glass of water.
01:31:45.680
And if they can tell when you're going to go to the bathroom, they can tell when you're going to commit a crime.
01:31:51.620
And then they can nudge you into doing it or they can try.
01:31:54.000
They can then, if they know what behaviors correlate with other behaviors, they can start nudging you.
01:32:00.440
So you could theoretically with the AI, with the algorithms, with social media, take someone who is, you know, like you, for instance, just some like working class dude.
01:32:08.020
And then within three months, have you actually involved in something more serious?
01:32:13.820
They can manipulate people into becoming and doing these things.
01:32:17.520
That's what I see as getting really, really scary.
01:32:25.860
And then we're going to be, we're going to, we could be in it right now and not even realize it.
01:32:31.720
You could be interacting with people that you think are your friends on Facebook and they could be undercover covert employees working for the FBI.
01:32:40.400
The feds might implement, why have actual people do it?
01:32:43.460
When you can have AI chatbots that just know exactly what needs to be said and when to make someone inch in a certain direction.
01:32:50.820
They can set up all the groups and add everyone and try to put them all together.
01:33:02.020
Well, I definitely want to find an attorney to, you know, get some justice for these guys, for these agents who tried to frame me.
01:33:15.460
Right now, you know, honestly, I'm still putting the pieces back together.
01:33:19.520
I mean, when they arrested me, they destroyed my entire life.
01:33:25.060
Um, my apartment, you know, there's like a bunch of debt going on with that.
01:33:30.120
You know, the apartment wants to like sue me for the damages they did.
01:33:33.760
Um, cause you know, when they came in, they ripped everything open and busted everything up.
01:33:39.580
Um, you know, it's been very difficult to, uh, you know, find employment and, and, and maintain employment.
01:33:47.380
Um, there, a weird situation just happened with, with a really good job that I have when I tried to transfer, I think they didn't realize who I was until the transfer took place.
01:33:59.820
It was like, oh yeah, you can come down here and, and work at this facility.
01:34:03.340
And I go down there and then boom, they don't want me anymore.
01:34:06.840
So, you know, now I'm in a stuck position where I'm like driving and, and, and, and, you know, I'm, I'm getting by, I'm doing what I need to do, but it's very rough.
01:34:16.380
Cause a lot of times when you're putting in these applications, you know, and they run your background check.
01:34:21.180
I don't have a criminal history or whatever, but they can see like who I am.
01:34:24.880
And that makes it a lot more difficult to get quality employment, you know?
01:34:31.120
So that's kind of the, but you know, the great thing is I got all my guns back, everything that they took.
01:34:39.580
They had three pages of stuff they seized from this man.
01:34:43.960
They took all my seeds, my water filtration stuff, everything.
01:34:47.660
And me and my attorney went back and, uh, met up with the agent that was attached to me.
01:34:52.840
They attach agents to everyone to monitor them online and everything.
01:34:56.480
And, uh, he had to give me all my stuff back and he was sick about it.
01:35:00.360
The only reason to be sick about it is if he was evil.
01:35:07.560
They went all the way back in my, they, they brought up stuff in court of like conversations
01:35:13.580
I had with someone about the second amendment and what it means, you know?
01:35:21.020
Cause I say a very plain and blunt and, uh, yeah.
01:35:26.040
So he, he, they just tried anything that they could to try to make me out to be a bad
01:35:31.800
I think they said, I think they said, you know what?
01:35:40.380
I mean, you know, I've said, do you really think a New York jury is going to acquit Donald
01:35:45.020
So it only takes, I think they only need like what one person.
01:35:53.560
Like that, you know, if, so I think they're going to try and change venue, I guess it was
01:35:59.660
And then he ends up with this judge that he appointed.
01:36:01.780
And so there's now the left is freaking out being like, how could there possibly be a
01:36:07.980
You know what, you know what it feels like to me?
01:36:11.520
You've got the, this sordid history of the FBI manipulations and all that stuff.
01:36:16.760
But these are guys who built this machine as dark as it may be.
01:36:21.660
And now we're on, you know, the third or fourth generation, you know, like they say that wealth
01:36:29.480
Somebody will start a business, make a bunch of money, be very successful.
01:36:42.340
And then their kids inherit nothing because none of those people had the life lessons
01:36:49.500
I don't think that stops at just running a business.
01:36:54.880
Maybe why we have the straws house, a straws how generational theory.
01:37:00.320
Every 80 years is a conflict in the United States.
01:37:07.500
And so we're right now in what they call the fourth turning, which is supposed to be a period
01:37:13.920
And it may be because every three generations, you have a generation of people who don't know
01:37:19.740
And so there is this natural conflict process where those who are able to, you know, there's
01:37:28.960
But with the FBI, I wonder if that's what we're doing.
01:37:31.440
When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.
01:37:36.640
So on behalf of Desjardins Insurance, I'm standing 20,000 feet above sea level to tell our clients
01:37:45.940
Home and auto insurance personalized to your needs.
01:37:51.900
Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care.

We've built a world-class lineup of classic casino games such as roulette and blackjack
01:38:08.760
and crafted a virtual range of the best slots, including Atlantean treasures.
01:38:16.040
So whenever you're feeling playful, head to Jackpot City and you'll be endlessly entertained.
01:38:32.100
We're seeing these agents are the, you know, third or fourth generation.
01:38:40.580
They don't know how to properly implement these plans or tactics.
01:38:49.180
I mean, look, the fact that they got the address wrong, like they wanted this great piece of
01:38:54.460
evidence that showed on camera, this car driving by, and they screwed up something as simple
01:39:02.720
And just the things they were saying to each, like, if you just read the text messages,
01:39:06.560
the agents and what they were saying to the informants, they claim that the informants
01:39:12.880
Like one informant didn't know this person was an informant.
01:39:21.220
There's things like this that are so easy to verify just by looking at the discovery
01:39:27.800
There is still a lot of discovery under seal that has even crazier stuff in it.
01:39:36.580
What if they're actually way better than we realize?
01:39:38.640
And the real goal was to destroy trust in the federal government.
01:39:49.900
I think it's probably more of like a generational collapse.
01:39:53.040
Yeah, like you said, the incompetence and sort of like I always said, everything at the
01:39:58.500
Think about your experience at a DMV and how competent and thorough that is.
01:40:03.580
I bet when they first started, it was probably great.
01:40:08.100
You know, the thing I see with the legal system, I'll tell you guys a story.
01:40:16.340
I was driving my car on my way to work when all of a sudden I get these lights behind me.
01:40:31.820
So I hit my signal, give it a little gas to get some distance and then start getting out of
01:40:50.720
And then all of a sudden you started picking up speed.
01:40:52.040
And I was like, well, you almost hit me and I'm trying to move out of your way.
01:40:54.980
And he goes, shouldn't speed in front of a cop.
01:40:59.780
So one day I'm driving down Lakeshore Drive in Chicago.
01:41:05.580
I was like, whatever, I don't have time for this.
01:41:18.400
And the cop walks up and, you know, dome light on, engine off, keys on the dash, everything's off, hands on the wheel.
01:41:26.640
As a firefighter, you know, I was given the talk when I was a kid about how you're supposed to properly act.
01:41:31.280
And the cop walks up and I said, howdy, officer, is there a problem?
01:41:34.200
And he goes, he's like, yes, sir, you were speeding.
01:41:39.300
And he goes, yeah, you work like you're going 65 in a 45.
01:41:50.780
You know, he took my license and insurance and he hands me things, sign it.
01:41:55.920
And he says, this is not acknowledgement of guilt.
01:42:02.300
And then he, and then I was like, I don't understand that.
01:42:06.060
He said, tell it to a judge, hands me the ticket and he leaves.
01:42:09.360
So I'm like, they take your license and you do this.
01:42:11.880
And now your ticket becomes your license or whatever.
01:42:15.020
So what ends up happening is a month or so later, something give like three months to respond.
01:42:21.380
I, my sister, she lives in Colorado Springs on Fort Carson.
01:42:31.940
And so I was like, I'll come visit and we'll hang out while I'm there.
01:42:35.180
I'm like, you know, I never paid this ticket and I can't go to court over it because I'm
01:42:43.140
And so my sister being very nice said, I'll just pay it for you.
01:42:48.460
Two moving violations under the age of 21 that suspend your license.
01:42:52.900
I didn't do anything wrong, but what's reasonable taking time off work and life
01:43:00.480
So when I returned back to Chicago, I'm in the suburbs.
01:43:04.920
I'm in Glen Ellen and I see lights behind me, headlights tailgating.
01:43:12.960
Literally, I had literally just entered the state.
01:43:15.540
I had not yet gotten home or, you know, where I was going.
01:43:18.840
I had been out in Colorado Springs for like a month.
01:43:21.320
And the car then puts a signal on, goes past me, drives up, speeds off.
01:43:26.280
As I'm coming up over this hill, I see it was a police car and it's in the left turn
01:43:30.020
And I thought to myself, he's far down the road.
01:43:33.440
I can just turn right, get off the road, get out of my car, turn the lights off, walk
01:43:37.300
away right now and not play any stupid games because I do not trust these people.
01:43:44.280
As soon as I pass him, he turns around, flicks the lights on, pulls me over.
01:43:50.800
He walks up to the car and he goes, Timothy Poole.
01:43:54.200
You're having a suspended license out of the vehicle.
01:44:00.840
He ran my plates because the car came back as owned by me who had a suspended license.
01:44:11.160
And I was like, what's my license suspended for?
01:44:17.360
What ends up happening is I go to court and they have me meet with the prosecutor.
01:44:28.140
And I told him, I was like, well, I don't think I did anything wrong.
01:44:31.200
And he goes, well, you've been accused of driving a suspended license.
01:44:42.220
And she called me and he goes, so you've just admitted guilt to the prosecution.
01:44:45.100
We can take your guilty plea now as you've admitted it.
01:44:49.640
And he goes, I'll tell you what you plead guilty.
01:44:56.760
Otherwise, it's one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
01:45:03.080
So then I walk up to the judge, like next up, you know, Mr. Poole and the prosecutor staying
01:45:07.740
And he said, my understanding is you're pleading guilty.
01:45:14.760
And then he does that thing where he goes, have you in any way been coerced or otherwise,
01:45:25.720
And he goes, someone coerced you into pleading guilty?
01:45:32.400
And I was like, he told me I'd go to jail for a year if I didn't just say I was guilty.
01:45:42.380
I went back home and I was like, he did coerce me.
01:45:48.760
He said it was a class A misdemeanor and I'd have spent thousands of dollars and go to
01:45:51.740
jail for a year unless I just said I was guilty.
01:45:54.760
And I was like, I don't think I did anything wrong.
01:45:56.160
I was like, if they told me my license is suspended, I would have been like, okay.
01:46:00.040
But first of all, I wasn't speeding in the first place.
01:46:03.600
Lawyer said, the amount of money you're going to spend isn't worth it.
01:46:09.820
And how is it that we have a legal system that functions this way?
01:46:14.180
I am just some dude who was working for an airline.
01:46:22.300
But I did not have the finance, the legal capabilities to defend myself against these police officers
01:46:30.500
So the only thing I could do was just pay the fine.
01:46:36.680
And then they threatened me with a year in jail because I was came back.
01:46:40.520
And as soon as I paid the ticket, they suspended my license.
01:46:49.780
And then the judge basically allows this stuff to happen.
01:46:55.100
I see this whole legal system as being completely callous, psychotic and broken.
01:47:03.680
Judge Yonker, he did a bogus hearsay rule where he basically said everything that they
01:47:11.140
said that was exculpatory, that was picked up, we couldn't show it to the jury.
01:47:15.840
They weren't allowed to hear about the misconduct of the three lead handling agents in their
01:47:21.700
There was a lot of stuff they just wouldn't let the defense bring in.
01:47:25.460
The judge mocked your lawyers and said, like, oh, quit wasting people's time with this crap
01:47:34.140
Yeah, he put a time limit on the defense as well.
01:47:37.220
In the second trial, he said, oh, okay, prosecution, there's two key witnesses about to come up.
01:47:43.420
He tells the defense, you guys only have 25 minutes to cross-examine this witness, but
01:47:51.640
And it's like, it's set up, once the first trial happened and we won, two people were
01:48:03.600
So they have the second trial, they're like, yo, we really got to like, this can't happen
01:48:15.500
We got to stack the deck against these guys because these guys are making us look bad.
01:48:25.380
There was an issue with one of the jurors where he allegedly said, as soon as he received
01:48:31.120
the jury summons, he told people at work, oh, I hope I get on the jury for the Whitmer
01:48:41.160
So that was reported, their defense lawyers reported that there was a little meeting.
01:48:50.160
So I talked to my attorney, Mike Hills, about that and because what happened is they found
01:48:55.540
out that that juror said that and then what happened is the judge took him back into his
01:48:59.600
chambers with no other attorneys, just him and that guy and then no recording and walked
01:49:11.400
And my attorneys, I'm like, that doesn't seem right.
01:49:14.340
My attorney's like, I've never seen that happen where a judge takes a juror back into his
01:49:21.400
chambers alone and doesn't record anything at all and then bring him back out.
01:49:28.220
He said, usually we all go in there, the prosecution, the attorney with the judge and the juror and
01:49:38.720
I don't think people realize where we're at in this country.
01:49:40.680
No, I had a legal issue and I was talking to a lawyer about a copyright lawsuit and he
01:49:49.780
If you take this to an urban liberal district, you'll lose.
01:49:53.600
You take it to a conservative district, you'll win.
01:49:58.740
Well, because this country is so hyper polarized that first of all, based on who I am, they're
01:50:06.420
going to just immediately say, screw you, we'll destroy you.
01:50:12.180
The way Stephen Marsh describes it, and he's very much on the liberal side.
01:50:17.900
He said there's a multicultural democracy emerging within a constitutional republic and
01:50:24.560
He said that he aligns with the multicultural democracy.
01:50:27.220
My response was, so you're seeking to supplant our constitutional republic, which is the
01:50:36.580
So if you are in D.C., if you're in an urban liberal district, you are looking at people
01:50:41.860
You're looking at people who live in an entirely different world with a different moral framework
01:50:50.380
It's surprising, but I guess they did such a bad job of trying to frame you that the jurors
01:50:55.620
Yeah, even with the way they controlled that courtroom and prevented the jury from seeing
01:51:00.440
so much evidence, they still, what they saw was enough for them to be like, no, I don't
01:51:05.400
think I'm going to convict any of these guys, not even Adam and Barry.
01:51:08.740
Then they had the mistrial and the retrial and that was even worse.
01:51:14.220
In the retrial, more evidence was restricted or something like that?
01:51:20.060
Moreover, every single person who wanted to testify for these guys as defense witnesses.
01:51:24.960
So some of these field training exercises had as many as 30 or 40 guys there.
01:51:33.620
When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.
01:51:39.440

The informants are providing alcohol and marijuana for everybody.
01:52:39.780
So you had lots of people that attended these FTXs that saw everything that was going on
01:52:48.120
Every single person was threatened by the prosecutors on the stand.
01:52:54.560
And how they did that was they didn't have the jury watch this occur.
01:53:00.780
What they did was the judge was essentially like, oh, okay, so the defense has like 15
01:53:06.100
people that might want to testify on their behalf.
01:53:17.340
And then, you know, the judge goes, prosecution, what do you want to do?
01:53:20.620
It's like, well, this person's facing 15 counts of providing material support for terrorism,
01:53:28.140
And it's like just a woman who was there with her husband and their child.
01:53:40.540
So essentially, they coerced and threatened every single person who was trying to testify
01:53:46.060
We just need to weed out cowardice in our culture.
01:53:56.480
Cowardice is simply when faced with your fears and a necessity to act, you refuse.
01:54:03.140
And bravery is when faced with your fears and a necessity to act, you act.
01:54:08.120
So a lot of people get offended at being called cowards.
01:54:14.820
If you are faced with true adversity, but you must act for the betterment of the world
01:54:21.100
and you refuse, if you're facing your fears and you refuse, that is what cowardice is.
01:54:26.720
Now, if you take offense to that, I don't care.
01:54:38.140
And there are people who are faced with these circumstances where they say,
01:54:44.080
And there's a guy, I think his name is John Strand.
01:54:50.420
Yeah, he was providing security to Simone Gold, I believe, the doctor.
01:54:55.480
And they accuse him of all these insane things.
01:54:59.700
But the people who took deals, they get slapped.
01:55:02.260
The people who don't, they get made examples of.
01:55:11.600
You know, the cowards allow the evil to persist.
01:55:16.660
The way I phrase it is, it's not that evil exists.
01:55:21.820
And the actual quote is, all that is required for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.
01:55:27.180
If we had a culture of people who are steadfast and honorable, the feds would have gone to these guys and said, plead guilty.
01:55:36.780
And they would have said, we will lock you up for the rest of your life.
01:55:42.680
If they came to me and say, we want you to testify this way, I'll be like, I'll do the opposite.
01:55:48.180
Whatever you try to force me to do, I will do the opposite.
01:55:55.100
Too many people, however, are just like, I will do anything you say.
01:56:00.780
Like, I don't understand what the purpose of being here is, is if you are someone who would just drop to your knees at a moment's notice.
01:56:05.660
Are you not here for the betterment of the world, for the betterment of those around you, for your families, for your friends?
01:56:14.180
This thought that I don't know if there exists anything in this world that would give me satisfaction to the point where I would sacrifice other people to obtain that.
01:56:27.740
People who are more satisfied with the success and achievements of others than their own is the difference.
01:56:33.680
Is it really worth selling out this country, your state, your friends, your family, so that you can go home and have a slice of pizza?
01:56:42.580
Yeah, that's one thing that amazed me about, you know, people like Ty Garbin and Caleb Franks is that, you know, we're training and we're doing this stuff and these guys are pretty good.
01:56:53.140
And they're put in this situation and I'm thinking about all the stuff that they said while we were training.
01:57:02.480
Yeah, you know, I'd defend myself with that or whatever, all this big talk, you know.
01:57:07.540
And then once the state really comes down on them, they're like, oh, no, you know, it's like, yeah, bro.
01:57:21.360
You know, I've not dealt with anything like serious solitary confinement.
01:57:25.040
Do they do anything like that to you when you were locked up?
01:57:26.780
Uh, yeah, first for some weeks because of, you know, the COVID situation, but I stayed, I did not see the sunlight for 18 months.
01:57:39.340
Um, it was about as big as the studio, but there's like maybe, maybe smaller, a little bit smaller.
01:57:51.380
There's one room the whole time for 18 months and then one of the, uh, months, uh, during, during the trial.
01:58:02.280
You got one bathroom, one sink, one shower, 15 people in there.
01:58:08.740
It's that doing that time does something to you psychologically, especially when, you know, you didn't do anything wrong.
01:58:17.080
I would have been able to accept it a lot easier if I actually did something, but like, okay, this, you know, suffer the consequences of my actions, man, you know, but being in there innocent and dealing with all of that psychologically was, uh, very, very strenuous.
01:58:32.640
Yeah, there was, there was one long picnic table in there.
01:58:37.220
Uh, they had metal bunks or they had like these things that would you, they would call them boats.
01:58:41.840
And it's just like a polymer bed off the ground that you just kind of throw on the ground and put your mat on it.
01:58:58.720
And what you use for chips is you take card decks and you fold them up and, and put them in little squares.
01:59:04.960
So when you're counting your chips, you're just, you know what I'm saying?
01:59:09.320
And so like bet 10, you pull out 10, you know, bet 20, whatever.
01:59:15.200
Did the other guys in there know that you were innocent or did they just believe everybody says they're innocent?
01:59:21.620
They were like, yeah, that seems like bullshit, you know, but a lot of the, a lot of the brothers in there, you know, we're, we're bullshitting.
01:59:27.260
And they're like, man, I fuck with you, B, you know, big terror, you know, I'm like, bro, it's not real.
01:59:43.340
And which I would almost maybe prefer that at times.
01:59:47.860
Because some of the shit that goes on in there, you're never alone at all.
01:59:56.740
You're taking a dump in the open, like in the corner right there.
02:00:02.300
I mean, you, sometimes the guards will come in and take it all down.
02:00:06.860
But we have to essentially, someone's got to sacrifice their sheet or we got to put two
02:00:11.320
sheets together and take some soap and get it wet, crush it up, and then stick the sheet
02:00:17.740
up against the wall to make a little curtain, take a pen, wrap it around there, a pencil
02:00:26.000
You know, it's crazy that, that we, that I don't, I don't see this as some, I don't see
02:00:32.240
Ben Franklin said, it is better that 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
02:00:37.560
And that of course came from Blackstone's formulation.
02:00:39.520
It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
02:00:42.340
The reason Ben Franklin said this was the general idea.
02:00:46.580
If you have a society where it's civilians believe that even if they are just and moral,
02:00:52.640
they will still be punished by the state, then they have no reason to be just and moral
02:00:56.900
and incentivizes crime and the destruction of the society.
02:01:00.460
Therefore, we must prioritize the innocent over the guilty at all costs, even if it means
02:01:07.600
I know a lot of conservatives don't like, uh, they've gotten rid of cash bail.
02:01:11.120
I completely agree with getting rid of cash bail.
02:01:12.840
I don't agree with just letting career criminals go, obviously have to stop them.
02:01:16.960
But the idea that they use the process as the punishment that arrested, like the
02:01:27.480
My argument is they should give you a standard hotel room.
02:01:31.820
You can't leave because you've been accused of a very serious crime, but you've not been
02:01:36.560
You should have a computer with access to the internet.
02:01:39.480
You should have a bed, a TV, and they should bring you standard meals, good quality ones
02:01:45.420
The compromise we make is you are being remanded to custody because of the preponderance of evidence.
02:01:50.340
Yes, we've not proven you'd done anything wrong, so we're going to make sure your standard
02:01:55.820
Granted, you're not going to be able to do the hands-on jobs, but you'll still have access
02:01:59.020
We're going to cover the costs as we've decided we're holding you.
02:02:01.720
That way, when ultimately you're found to have to be not guilty, you simply leave what
02:02:10.660
You lose your car, maybe you can't pay your bills, but that's at least the compromise.
02:02:16.140
You, a guy who is innocent and actually found not guilty by a jury of your peers, actually,
02:02:23.200
These are seemingly people who had, some of them had a serious reason to just want to
02:02:32.240
They make you go through these trials and tribulations.
02:02:34.840
They punish you for a year and a half, having done nothing wrong.
02:02:38.500
I don't see how a system can function this way.
02:02:43.940
I would say as bad as New Ego County is where you guys were at, where Adam and Barry are
02:02:51.360
So I started filming with Adam and Barry for my documentary, interviewing them while they
02:02:56.380
were at New Ego County, just prior to their sentencing, but after their convictions.
02:03:04.740
I got a statement from Barry for the weaponization committee in case I could get it to them.
02:03:09.620
What would you want to say to them to investigate the FBI in your case?
02:03:16.660
The next day after that, Adam was moved to Florence Supermax and Barry was sent to Terre
02:03:24.700
Now, Adam is on track to go to ADX, which is supposed to be more like the Lomax section of
02:03:37.020
And Barry is going to be moved to a CMU communications management unit of the Supermax prison, where
02:03:43.420
they're going to prevent him basically from being able to communicate with anybody.
02:03:47.460
Now, these prisons were set up after 9-11 to house like Al Qaeda terrorists or ISIS people.
02:03:52.780
And they have rules like you have to if you're going to be on the phone, you have to be speaking
02:03:58.260
But what they were for, the communications management unit, was basically to prevent a
02:04:02.180
terrorist from interacting with an international criminal network and basically still conducting
02:04:09.000
Or a gang leader, somebody like El Chapo, who is, you know, at the Florence Supermax facility.
02:04:14.520
Somebody like him, who's got like an international network, a gang leader.
02:04:18.680
They don't want him to be shot callers from prison.
02:04:20.680
So they would put him in a communications management unit.
02:04:23.540
Barry, the 45-year-old trucker from Delaware with three daughters.
02:04:27.200
Like he doesn't need to be in a CMU in Terre Haute Supermax.
02:04:31.620
There is no national security concern for him talking to his elderly mother on the phone
02:04:43.480
I hope that I hope Trump gets reelected and I hope he just starts pardoning tons of people.
02:04:49.360
You know, I was saying in 2020, he should announce a blanket pardon for non-plea deal, non-violent drug offenses.
02:04:59.680
So like at the federal level, anybody who was caught selling something like marijuana, but they didn't plead down from violent charges.
02:05:07.580
He should just pardon them and be like, we got to get people out of the system.
02:05:13.320
We should not be spending so much money maintaining these things.
02:05:16.580
We should get non-violent defenders out, especially on something like marijuana, which is recreationally legalized all over the place now.
02:05:24.500
And some states I can praise, they have done this.
02:05:26.700
They have started to offer amnesty to individuals for non-violent offenses.
02:05:33.140
I think most, even in the press, they have to acknowledge this stuff, that it's all bunk.
02:05:44.080
Ian likes to bring up the, I forgot what it's called.
02:05:47.560
After the Revolutionary War, I think it was in Massachusetts.
02:05:51.820
I don't know if you guys are familiar with what this was.
02:05:53.160
There was another rebellion took place among soldiers who were not paid.
02:06:05.260
Because if we start this country off by taking these people who are angry and just locking them up, we will collapse.
02:06:19.000
People who fought against you who are, you know.
02:06:21.700
But you've got to recognize sometimes retreat is the appropriate move.
02:06:27.360
I mean, it feels like these people want the country to collapse.
02:06:43.040
And you know what happens is people like that hire more people like that.
02:06:47.820
Is that how they go out and they celebrate these cases?
02:06:50.100
They take their wives to weird swingers parties and, you know, get intoxicated and then beat people.
02:07:00.420
I'm glad at least you were able to stand up and you were found not guilty and you're here free.
02:07:04.960
But I know there's others who are still locked up unjustly.
02:07:08.300
And I have, you know, concerns that they still do things like this.
02:07:12.720
But is there any final thoughts you wanted to have before we wrap up?
02:07:15.860
I would also say there are still unindicted co-conspirators.
02:07:19.360
So there are still people today that I've been trying to interview for my documentary and talk to you that are terrified to talk to me.
02:07:25.360
Because they still believe that they could be charged at some point or something because the government will come in.
02:07:33.420
And then they do not have to charge you with anything.
02:07:37.900
And so you have a lot of people that are unindicted co-conspirators.
02:07:41.740
If they did something, charge them or just drop it.
02:07:47.580
And a lot of people have had their lives ruined by this.
02:07:50.140
Not just the guys who went to prison, but their family members.
02:07:54.960
Barry has three little girls that don't have their father now anymore.
02:08:12.320
Yeah, I mean, you know, situations like this, a lot of times what the state wants to do is they want to polarize certain groups of people and put the fear in them, right?
02:08:22.120
They want to put the fear in you so you never speak out against them.
02:08:29.620
And, you know, my philosophy about it is, you know, even though stuff like this is going on and we see a lot of crazy shit going on in society, you know,
02:08:39.020
you still need to remain vigilant, stay connected with people you love, you know, get some storageable food, start gaining knowledge on how to take care of yourself and take care of your family and not be dependent on somebody else for your own life and, and, and, and your own sustenance, you know, and, and train and learn how to defend yourself.
02:09:00.600
It's your human right to know how to defend yourself.
02:09:03.940
Don't, don't give away that responsibility to somebody else.
02:09:07.120
Take action and, and learn how to do it yourself and getting these, this type of knowledge will empower yourself to make it to where, you know, what, if everyone does this type of stuff, they can't do that to us anymore.
02:09:20.320
They can't just come get us anymore, you know, cause we're a solid unit.
02:09:24.480
And, um, you know, that's just my advice that I have is, is, you know, believe in something, believe in truth, believe in morality and be willing to have the courage to, to stand up.
02:09:34.300
Even when you're scared, anything you guys want to shout out?
02:09:38.920
I'd like to shout out the documentary, kidnapping, kill an FBI terror plot that will tell the story when it's finished.
02:09:45.660
Uh, you can watch the trailer for that on the website.
02:09:52.200
I didn't want to buy the domain name, kidnapping, kill.com.
02:09:56.260
So it's just K and K film.com right on social media.
02:10:01.220
And if, uh, if you want to check me out on Twitter, it's Brandon underscore Caserta and check me out on Tik TOK as well, which is kinetic underscore truth.
02:10:09.540
