The Tucker Carlson Show - Ryan Zink on What It’s Like to Disappear Into the American Gulag for Political Crimes

00:00:00.000 ryan zinc not ryan zinke no no not very different right thank you very much so you're uh running

00:00:13.200 for congress i am from texas yes um lots of people running from for congress from texas the reason i

00:00:19.180 thought you we would all benefit from hearing your story is that you were a january 6th defendant

00:00:24.120 and you went through many years of trials both literally and figuratively uh in the aftermath

00:00:31.680 of that and you've emerged as a as a real candidate and so i'd just like to begin by hearing your j6

00:00:38.880 story what why did you go to washington on january 6th and what happened so i i guess to like summarize

00:00:45.500 make make things a little bit shorter is is uh i was out on a break from school i was studying media

00:00:50.760 strategy public relations but i'd got hit by a drunk driver and so my dad worked in sports

00:00:55.300 medicine for years and i had a lapse in my insurance coverage so i went to arizona to work on his

00:01:00.700 congressional campaign so he was at the time running against ruben gallego your dad yes oh wow and where

00:01:06.940 were you you see you're in college when uh yes yeah so i i came in late in college like i i stopped

00:01:12.700 built wind turbines for you know a while just i i kind of bounced i didn't really find anything that

00:01:17.480 i really loved until i found safety and then of course now politics apparently but um so i was

00:01:24.120 helping him with his you know congressional campaign um because i was in media like i had a camera you

00:01:29.600 know and i was like we started off slow like everybody else does you know with his campaign

00:01:34.540 where money was super tight and so i went up there to one get free treatment for my neck and shoulder

00:01:40.580 and then from your dad yeah yeah and and then uh two you know just to help him on his campaign

00:01:46.360 so you're working for your dad in exchange for free neck and back treatment pretty much

00:01:50.120 nothing free out of the old man but okay but uh no i mean it would you know it was really my first

00:01:57.600 glance in politics like the the first time that i'd ever voted was the donald trump's first term

00:02:03.580 yeah again the only reason that i thought that was because i was like you know um well i've seen

00:02:08.760 what like i met bill clinton and in college at wt when i used to go there and i was really weirded out

00:02:15.440 by him uh when i met him what about um creepy soft hands uh his demeanor towards uh the girls that

00:02:23.720 were in the room in the like in the back area and then um the way just just the way he carries

00:02:30.560 himself uh i think i was i think it was discernment is what i think interesting so bad vibes would be

00:02:37.440 one uh yeah and this is and this is like before i was like really a christian too like you know

00:02:43.280 living practicing my you know my life in accordance well those are animal instincts and we should never

00:02:47.800 ignore them because they're accurate well definitely you know like looking back now and you know

00:02:52.460 everything i've been through yeah it was definitely it was a stark warning really to to like be vigilant

00:02:58.460 be aware of what's happening around you interesting huh so um but yeah so campaign trail you know

00:03:06.840 going out well dad um we start looking at you know the votes about everything that's going on and he

00:03:14.840 tells me he's like you know hey i think this is it he's like i think we're going to witness history

00:03:18.280 if we go to the capitol i don't even want to go i want to go home right uh you know because i've got my

00:03:23.160 my lovely beautiful wife now uh was you know waiting for me back in back in texas and i you know left

00:03:29.380 before thanksgiving and um i didn't even want to go to the capitol and i was like well okay i was like i guess

00:03:36.080 like we can do this so i started thinking i was like you know so your dad's encouraging you to yes

00:03:39.780 yeah he he wanted me to go because he want you know he wants b-roll footage he wants you know uh

00:03:44.940 you know him at the capitol you know in in front of all the fountains and you know we we wanted to

00:03:50.600 present you know like a strong unified presence in in media just like you know every candidate wanted

00:03:55.320 to yeah and um so your your dad believed that footage of him at the capitol on january 6 would be

00:04:01.360 good for his campaign yes and and not not just not just that but like obviously he wasn't planning

00:04:06.760 a violent insurrection or he wouldn't have brought you as his cameraman no no i'm if we were planning

00:04:11.240 insurrection i would have brought a lot more that day than you know just my camera yeah both so he

00:04:18.160 wasn't even actually in the best of good health at that time like uh there was a there was a time

00:04:23.020 like six years before that that i thought i was going to lose my dad like we were actually like

00:04:26.440 planning funerals and i'm sorry kind of looking at stuff so that it was it was a hard time but then

00:04:31.160 you know god healed him in that december and he's you know we've been rocking and rolling ever since

00:04:35.820 but um you know we were both like actively hurt like it would have been very hard pressed for us

00:04:41.880 to do an insurrection that day uh you know my neck and shoulder injuries like my like my shoulder was

00:04:46.480 like froze up here like this for like six months and you know like i was i did physical therapy for

00:04:52.960 like two years um but you know it it just it's it's insane looking back because we thought that

00:05:00.240 you know we were going to see history for the first time that you know the vote would get kicked back to

00:05:04.620 the states and that you know the states would vote party line you know uh for what that that was what we

00:05:11.040 thought was going to happen and it turned out to be completely different you know i i remember getting

00:05:18.540 in on january 5th staying with some family and like the i think it was like the upper marlboro maryland

00:05:24.020 area and making our way across you know um is the first time in my mind that i can remember i think i

00:05:31.880 went to dc once when i was younger but this was very real it was very you know very like you would

00:05:39.160 see in the movies like there's you know steam pouring out of the sewers the second that we get off

00:05:43.280 you know um the metro um there's and there's already like thousands of people it's four o'clock

00:05:49.540 in the morning you know and there's there's already thousands of people like over near the capital and

00:05:54.900 so i'm i'm already you know taking pictures and this this will be relevant uh later as well but

00:06:01.600 it's it's crazy to step off the metro and that early in the morning there's thousands of people

00:06:07.960 already at the capital all along uh headed up towards the washington monument where president

00:06:13.860 trump was going to be speaking and then that was pretty much like you know where we started the day

00:06:18.840 went in there i saw diamond and silk uh for the first time what walking through and remember i'm not i'm

00:06:25.260 still not very political at this point like i believe that there's a lot that's going on with

00:06:29.280 elections that we're being lied to about but i don't see it in the capacity that i see it today

00:06:34.520 um i'm basically there for you know a free trip with my dad to washington dc you know to hang out

00:06:40.820 for a little bit get some some b-roll footage and go home and then um you know so i don't get to go in

00:06:47.440 to where the president is speaking because secret service i have a laptop i have a camera i have

00:06:54.620 sd cards i have multiple lenses i have a tripod i have all this stuff and secret service is like you

00:07:01.200 can't you know like we're not allowing anyone else with bags into this area that we're going in and

00:07:07.040 so um i never got to hear trump speak at all like i was already had made my way up to the capitol

00:07:16.300 um we stopped and had lunch at a building that i would get to know very well 333 constitution avenue

00:07:22.680 the courthouse where uh i was uh later convicted at and um you know we ate lunch over there and then

00:07:33.100 made our way all the way down uh to the capitol my dad talked uh did an interview with the epic times

00:07:37.820 um we spent uh a good portion like we had to go sit down after this and then um made our way over to

00:07:46.760 the east side of the building where i remained uh for only a few moments up until everything happened

00:07:52.500 and then um sat down talked to samoans for trump you know anti-communist party for trump you know just

00:07:59.860 just real you know gross people you know who've you know escaped um you know horrors that we see

00:08:07.420 with communism you know talking about like things that trump is doing versus like where they came from

00:08:13.420 and then we get to where things start rolling for the day you know it's uh it's before the objection

00:08:19.980 of um ted cruz and uh let's see the representative from arizona and then um we can hear the whole time

00:08:31.400 like on the on the east side of the building we hear somebody talking through a megaphone okay and

00:08:35.140 they keep telling and they're talking to a capitol police officer well i would later identify this man

00:08:39.020 is dunphy and they are saying into the microphone that they're talking to like hundreds of people

00:08:47.480 on the east side you know like we we know that you guys have a right to protest and we know that you

00:08:51.700 have the permits we're talking to our superiors and we're going to let you in to you know in to go up

00:08:57.260 and we're looking around we're like what do they mean go up like are we going in the building like what

00:09:01.060 what are they talking about here so um after this nothing really happens they keep talking on the

00:09:09.880 bullhorn we can hear they're trying to like put a phone up to it to where you can hear like president

00:09:14.300 trump speak and then all the proceedings inside of the building start going as well and we at like

00:09:23.160 the doj has like a huge camera that's you know on top of the capitol building that looks down over the

00:09:28.560 east side and i was standing um just kind of over the visitor center to the right hand side

00:09:35.160 in front of this like green light pole and right uh to our left there's there's probably i don't

00:09:42.180 know like 300 people in front of us and we can't really see what's going on and i'm trying to like

00:09:46.220 lean out the railing to see what's happening and you know 400 feet in the air you can tell that

00:09:51.480 there's pushing and shoving that's going on down over there we don't know why they're bringing bike racks

00:09:55.480 over to this side you know that that impenetrable wall fortress that uh they built around the

00:10:01.480 capitol was bike racks that you know were connected together and uh so there's some pushing and shoving

00:10:06.980 that's going on over here we can't really tell what's going on or like who the instigator is but at

00:10:11.600 this time like right as soon as all of this happens we start seeing like hundreds of people

00:10:17.980 come this way and this is as soon as ted cruz and them object i mean it is literally like

00:10:22.520 texas objects bang j6 goes off and there's hundreds of people coming from the right side

00:10:32.060 kind of funny that ted cruz is at the center of this i find it more funny that there are a lot

00:10:38.220 more people who weren't at that time just based on what on what we knew but i but i do think that

00:10:44.120 um it was timed for the objection i think that the fact that a senator had finally gotten involved with

00:10:51.700 it is the like principal point of where they had to do something that day in order to stop um

00:11:01.980 more information coming out because i mean it the the time period between the objection

00:13:28.180 the eruption look like from your perspective so from from my perspective so i'm right on the railing

00:13:34.620 i see a couple hundred people coming this way they're already past police officers they're inside

00:13:40.840 of the area which were not properly um that you know they always say like oh there were signs around

00:13:48.860 the capitol that day there there wasn't if you go back and you look at i hate to say her name but pam

00:13:53.360 him phil's video where she's walking through um she's behind the police line in front of where we

00:14:00.740 are at the time and um there's no there's no signs up well i have a picture of what the sign is actually

00:14:07.800 supposed to look like in order to cordon off that area so that people the the general public who has no

00:14:13.560 idea what this area is in front of them you know they'll they'll claim you know state of mind that we

00:14:18.720 that we did because it was an area but whenever you see police opening barricades whenever so there

00:14:25.700 was an officer that testified against me that was waving people through the barricades i'll show you

00:14:30.660 the video and he was waving people through and then there's hundreds of people on this side and i still

00:14:37.140 didn't go through like me and my dad kind of looked at each other and we were like what is happening and

00:14:42.500 i was like i don't know i guess they opened everything up and then like even right there he was like you

00:14:47.340 don't think they're gonna let us in the building do you and i was like um i wouldn't think so i was

00:14:52.680 like you know there's like proceedings going on inside i was like maybe this is you know the area

00:14:58.420 that the protests have the permits for so we make our way up i'm talking i'm saying stuff like i'm an

00:15:04.720 american i have the first amendment and um so i'm saying you know like we're storming the capital

00:15:10.660 you know we're like you know they can't stop us and what i'm you know the doj will tell you

00:15:16.460 that i was talking about you know capital police you know that like oh these guys can't stop us

00:15:21.200 they're trying to say that i like was making that disassociation but what i'm talking about is like

00:15:26.420 the protest like american people finding out the truth of what was going on and to be completely

00:15:32.720 honest like i'm overwhelmed i don't really have any idea what's going on inside of the building then

00:15:37.300 like you know what it like how much do you actually know until you get to spend like an engrossed

00:15:43.460 amount of time like the last five years that i've spent about what goes on i've watched so many

00:15:47.680 videos from january 6th and i have no idea what's going on even now i mean it's chaos it's a right

00:15:52.660 it's impossible and in the moment to know what's going on and you know to be like a very like junior

00:16:00.560 journalist like the only thing that i've covered at this point is like football games for a big 12

00:16:06.440 university and um you know a couple basketball games here and there wrote some articles for a

00:16:13.360 magazine like i'm doing the the journalist thing but i'm not in school uh from my injuries and then

00:16:19.080 this is when things get start to get weird okay so um what happens is and i'll i'll brush you this

00:16:26.440 part but this is very critical because i actually i did send you the evidence of this stuff last night

00:16:30.380 so the police stop everybody at the base of the stairs in front of the columbus doors

00:16:36.600 and then they just open it up so we're we're like you know a couple hundred people back we can't

00:16:42.520 really hear what's going on and they just open up the stairs turn around and go stand in front of

00:16:46.520 the columbus door so we go up onto the east side porch because i'm thinking i'm like dude this is

00:16:51.020 going to be some great footage that's like well that's what i keep thinking i'm like this is going

00:16:54.420 to be like this is going to be memorable like this is something that people are going to talk

00:16:58.500 about if i had only known it's just how much they were going to talk about it um you did

00:17:03.580 underestimate it a bit like yeah i mean like you like police are actively letting people into the

00:17:10.060 area and but it gets worse for you know for my case because then i go up onto the porch well then

00:17:14.640 the first person that i see like the actual first like violence engagement that i saw for the day the

00:17:20.040 literal tip of the spear everybody says that it was the west side it's not it's hunter alan emke

00:17:24.120 is uh as far as i've come to know that he's an antifa an antifa member from california i videotaped

00:17:31.420 him jump up onto the ledge of the windows next to the columbus doors and he begins punching and

00:17:38.060 kicking out those windows well there are people up there that are all dressed pretty similar now

00:17:43.240 wait a second ryan why would an antifa member from california be protesting a stolen election on trump's

00:17:51.240 behalf that's a great question and just doesn't make sense i got called a conspiracy theorist by

00:17:56.460 my judge for even mentioning this fact right so you know um i believe that there were people in the

00:18:03.400 crowd that day uh i i believe that bobby powell um rest in peace bobby um i believe that he also

00:18:11.380 captured federal agents that day near that window that were telling people to go in the building but

00:18:16.940 we don't have any of course and tell us who bobby powell was uh bobby powell was an independent

00:18:22.040 journalist who um he testified in my case he was he was pressed that was there that day just to you

00:18:28.020 know take take videos he was never arrested you know um anything but he mysteriously after he started

00:18:35.900 releasing and talking about all of the footage that he had of these federal agents uh succumbed to

00:18:41.500 multiple heart attacks and then eventually passed away from one of those he didn't kill himself like

00:18:45.780 one of the capital police officers no no he didn't and bobby bobby was a was a marine he was a very

00:18:51.880 strong-willed man and there's not a chance that he would have ever taken his own life yeah well you

00:18:56.480 could say that about others who supposedly killed themselves too just a fact sorry i'm sick i'm sick

00:19:01.260 of this i am too i'm i'm for that for just for the record like i'm very mentally sound and i have no

00:19:06.760 plans to harm myself after this interview either um yeah i used to say that in jest but it's it's i mean

00:19:15.020 let's just let's stop pretending yeah so um okay you saw and someone who's been conclusively

00:19:21.680 identified as an antifa member smashed the windows yes yeah who's who's not been seen since

00:19:27.560 like he got a prison sentence he has not come to any of the j6 functions that i'm aware of i don't

00:19:33.020 know people that know him like j6 is you know 1500 plus never heard from this dude again did he go to

00:19:40.780 prison uh apparently for four months i i was i've been unable to track down anyone that served time

00:19:47.460 with him or a facility that he went to like incapacity because the bureau of prisons won't

00:19:53.180 comment you know on yeah they won't comment because particularly it's not our government right yeah i'm

00:19:58.720 getting that impression um okay so he smashed windows then what do you do um i start videoing man

00:20:05.580 like you know this is like it's crazy like there's like this is a dude that he's just like

00:20:09.880 jumped up and like smashed a window and so at this time all these similar dressed people they turn

00:20:15.140 and they start yelling at the capitol police and they're you know saying like you know hey we're

00:20:19.640 gonna kill you you're not taking them and i start yelling at them i'm like leave them alone the police

00:20:24.320 are just doing their job he's breaking the law leave them alone he's breaking the law like at that

00:20:29.160 point it doesn't matter what i'm there to protest like that's not why we're here like we protest

00:20:34.100 stolen election we use our voice you know you can use you can use your your voice what i've

00:20:38.720 discovered can carry so so much farther oh then much more than your gun that is real yeah absolutely

00:20:45.320 and um so they knock this they knock hunter off the ledge take them into custody just like they should

00:20:52.180 and immediately after this is when i go and i ask a capitol police officer by the name of benjamin

00:20:57.800 fluke i said you know hey how can we help you like this like what what can we do for you guys like

00:21:03.700 because we can see they're outnumbered like there's people yelling at them like

00:21:07.180 like those though i don't believe that those were trump supporters i don't people seem to be more

00:21:12.960 inflamed not just emotionally but physically and more tired than ever and food is part of the reason

00:21:18.860 bad food oh tastes good but not good for you for most of human history people ate actual food stuff

00:21:25.440 that your body recognizes but now you eat a ton of chemicals paleo valley is the solution to this

00:21:31.020 paleo valley's bone broth protein is made from let's see a hundred percent grass-fed and finished

00:21:36.900 beef bones that's it no fillers no additives no weird industrial byproducts it's actual food turned

00:21:43.060 into something you can consume every day most people use it the way we do you blend it into a smoothie

00:23:37.560 who smashes the windows you said people dressed in the same way came to his defense people dressed in like

00:23:43.120 all black like when you go and you look at the video and you hear the voices you can tell that

00:23:47.640 there's like a there's a different tone with these dudes and like so as i've studied you know footage

00:23:52.840 from other areas of the capital over the last five years too you can kind of see some similarities

00:23:57.060 in the way that people um dress there's also wristbands that have been identified on certain

00:24:03.800 people too that we think that that was an identifying marker for different groups that were there to cause

00:24:08.620 problems so have any of them been identified or they're all masked no no and then and it you know

00:24:15.220 and it really doesn't help that the department of justice was paying you know um like the sedition

00:24:19.740 hunters like a hundred thousand dollars to use artificial intelligence to identify january sixers that

00:24:24.380 they couldn't do because it breaks the law and the way that they're going out and gathering evidence so

00:24:29.800 they paid you know this independent group of leftist trump haters to come and identify us and then

00:24:35.480 they were paying them like per arrest uh on top but that's you know that's like a another area but

00:24:41.340 they hired in tifa bounty hunters to hunt down trump voters yeah yeah got it okay and so and then like

00:24:46.480 you know ray epps that whole deal like what you know why did the doj protect him when they came after

00:24:52.580 like everybody else did you see ray epps there um no i i may have like just like in the periphery like

00:25:02.120 when i was walking through the west side to leave like later in the afternoon but i i never saw him

00:25:07.040 i keep stepping on your story my apologies so you see the window smash people flow in the building

00:25:12.000 you're taking video what happens then so i asked benjamin fluke i was like well you know what can

00:25:16.820 we do to help you and instead of saying you know like you need to leave like you're not supposed to

00:25:20.940 be here like anything like that he tells me stay on the porch and take pictures of them

00:25:25.140 and that's and that's in my transcripts you know he actively admits that not only did he like

00:25:31.320 deputize me to stay up there to assist them with people that like getting video to people that are

00:25:36.640 attacking them he doesn't you know he's not asking me to leave so i do that i stay up there uh with my

00:25:42.720 dad you know my dad gives uh his business card you know he has he has his congressional cards he's he's

00:25:48.640 where i'm at now he has a house number he's fec filings like like we're in this you know the election's

00:25:53.920 coming up you know we're we're running for congress with him and we give that business card out and this

00:26:01.220 is when um one of the the worst parts of january 6 happens shortly after this we're up there i'd say

00:26:08.920 probably about 40 minutes is like the total length of my capital day um at least being on like on the

00:26:15.740 porch so those police officers we're talking to him um i'm listening to the radio that one of them

00:26:23.240 has it's up here um i i misspoke at the time because it was really hard to hear radio traffic

00:26:28.900 but i'm saying things like you know uh there are people inside of the capital there's a fire inside

00:26:34.240 i'm posting all this on facebook you know and i'm i'm trying to stay like neutral from this like point

00:26:40.940 forward because basically everything you know it's it turned on a dime you know we went from a protest to

00:26:46.900 what what is this and so i'm talking to those officers and then ashley babbitt is murdered by

00:26:52.800 michael bird and we can hear the shots inside of the building from where from where we are and

00:26:59.020 um there's a video so all of the capital police officers that testified against me uh officer fluke

00:27:06.340 officer mooney and the officer who was seen on film waving people through i cannot remember his name

00:27:11.720 right now um but uh they all testified that at no point did the capital police take me and my father

00:27:20.440 behind their police line where they were holding hunter because we were working with them and well

00:27:26.300 now i have that video in my possession that camera was not allowed to be viewed before it went to trial

00:27:31.840 and the video that i sent your team last night is the literal perjury of all three of my federal

00:27:37.620 witnesses in my case that stated that i was not there to assist police at that time and that i was

00:27:43.640 not working with them because there's an officer that comes over he separates us from protesters in

00:27:50.040 the gear that i was talking about and says like hey these guys are with us he's running for congress

00:27:55.060 this is his son he's been helping document if people attack us and he says it so they they originally

00:28:01.660 they think that the shooting is like down on the lower level they don't know yeah you know where it is

00:28:05.820 in the building and so they um take us and we go like right into the corner of the columbus doors

00:28:14.320 well all of a sudden the 20 000 pound doors that have to be remotely opened from inside of the united

00:28:22.420 states capital by pushing a button open they open the columbus doors and there are people that are

00:28:30.520 coming in and out of those doors and it is that this this is the point of the day where the officer

00:28:39.500 that we've been talking to that was never identified by the department of justice they refused to

00:28:43.420 identify this individual along with the other uh five or six police officers that were on the porch i

00:28:48.320 just got the three that testified against me when i had multiple additional witnesses that i could

00:28:53.440 have called that wore a badge that would have said like no they were helping us but um at this point

00:29:00.520 is when we see like the first like remnants of the battle that's going on either inside of the capital

00:29:05.800 because i don't necessarily know where this officer came from i haven't been able to identify him

00:29:10.220 because they won't give us the cameras of the porch and um so he comes out he's injured um he's

00:29:18.940 holding his shoulder he's got mace all over his face and dad works in sports medicine and he was he

00:29:24.520 looks he just takes one look at him and he's like that guy needs medical help so dad tries to help

00:29:28.940 him he declines help but he has mace all over his eyes and so i'm reaching through my bag trying to

00:29:35.080 get out water to um let him rinse his eyes out and then at that point this is like the last interaction

00:29:43.180 that we have with pretty much anyone for the day is because at that point that's when mariel bowser

00:29:48.720 declares that there's going to be a curfew that comes in so we can hear it on the radio of the

00:29:53.680 guy uh the the police officer capital police officer that's standing there and so he says you know hey

00:29:58.920 we appreciate all of your help things are getting really crazy on the other side it'd probably be a

00:30:02.820 good idea for y'all to leave we say okay that guy refuses treatment one more time he's rinsing his

00:30:08.480 eyes out i asked my dad i was like hey i want to put the big lens on i want to stand on this

00:30:12.600 pillar over here and i want to take pictures inside and see what's going on and that's the first

00:30:18.120 time that day that you can actually see people like like pushing and shoving with like a capital

00:30:24.540 police officer uh at least from our perspective now if you have the big high camera and you can

00:30:29.640 look over like you can see that there was some in front of us that we couldn't see i'm i'm five

00:30:33.920 eight you know 200 pounds and like i was like i'm not i'm not the tallest guy in the in the world so

00:30:40.760 i you know i can't see over a lot of people so then we leave you know we go back around uh i take

00:30:46.860 some pictures by the bike racks where what i think is blood is on the ground but i'm not sure it could

00:30:51.560 have been a spilled drink like it could have been like anything where the bike racks were and we start

00:30:55.320 making our way around and then i see jacob chansley which we all came to know is the you know the qn

00:31:00.020 and shaman um i saw him on the the steps of the senate side and we make our way around to the west

00:31:07.780 and this is when it hits and it's like this is gonna be talked about forever because the sea of

00:31:17.140 people that were out there just thousands and thousands of people that are on that side we have no

00:31:23.460 like we're we're on the east side sheltered in a tiny little corner we have no idea the scale of

00:31:30.460 what is happening at the capitol and you know and people always talk about the west side footage and

00:31:35.880 things you know they always show you know the tunnel videos where you see people attacking well the reason

00:31:40.900 that they were attacking that day is because a cap or sorry metro police officer lila morris had just

00:31:46.700 beaten a woman to death by the name of rosanne boyland and that's what they were reacting to

00:31:52.540 and so as we're making our way around to go get on to the metro the closest metro was directly across

00:31:59.020 the the west back towards the other side so we made a beeline through the crowd can i say so are you

00:32:04.340 allowed to beat people to death in this country um well apparently if you wear a badge in dc which is

00:32:09.800 which if you don't know like across the standard the capitol police and metro police um with their

00:32:17.020 combined particularly on the metro side is the ninth most violent police force in america yeah of course you

00:32:22.340 you think about that think about all the sheriff's offices the police offices around the country

00:32:26.340 they're the ninth most violent police force they always had the highest accidental discharge rate

00:32:31.800 for their handguns too yeah which you know amazing that it didn't you know it didn't happen that day so

00:32:37.420 that was that was my j6 day you know like outside of saying things like we're storming the capitol

00:32:42.400 like do you hear us you know like words outside of a building i never went inside the building i never

00:32:49.920 assaulted anybody i never broke anything i was assisting police officers on the porch yelling at

00:32:54.980 protesters you never went inside the building i never did it's been a lot of noise in the news

00:32:59.740 recently but none of it matters if you can't hear it there's no shame in this millions of people

00:33:05.440 get deafer every year some we know well but your friends are friends at audion can help for years

00:33:12.320 the experts made hearing aids cost thousands of dollars they forced you to get a prescription

00:33:16.260 see a doctor jump through all these hoops just to hear your grandkids talk or have a conversation

00:33:21.160 in a restaurant why because they made money that's why over 460 million people worldwide have hearing

00:33:27.860 loss yet 80 do not have hearing aids because who'd want to deal with that so it's a crisis and it's

00:33:33.280 being ignored and that's why audion is the answer it offers fda compliant hearing aids for as low as

00:33:39.280 98 bucks no prescription no doctor's visit over a million and a half americans already using them to

00:33:45.600 regain clarity in their lives to regain hearing you can find them at nearly 10 000 retailers

00:33:51.400 nationwide including walmart and walgreens audience doing what the system should have done all along

00:33:56.600 making essential health care affordable for everyone go to hear tucker.com that's h-e-a-r

00:34:11.480 hear better okay so did you have any worry that you would be arrested for what you didn't do

00:34:19.240 no because i what what i thought was going to happen was that we were going to turn over the

00:34:24.060 videos of hunter emke um that that we had that we would probably fill out an affidavit and i was i was

00:34:30.220 kind of expecting like a call from like maybe secret service fbi somebody you know over over that

00:34:37.660 time but what actually happened was later february 4th 2021 at just after 4 a.m the fbi drives through

00:34:46.560 the front of my house with a 12 foot battering ram actually yes they're monsters i just want to say

00:34:52.420 that that's disgusting i agree to treat you like that i agree you know a phone call there's been

00:34:56.780 no reform of them at all and on other channels are just no screamed at for asking questions

00:35:01.200 there's there's been there's been no accountability zero across across the board from it and that's

00:35:06.820 not to say that i don't support law enforcement in this country i don't support that i don't care

00:35:10.640 what you call that i don't support that's the oppression of the population that employs you and pays

00:35:16.640 for this and you have no right to treat citizens like that i mean that is i'm sorry part of my

00:35:22.380 lecture so yeah you're in bed you're back in texas yes do you live in an apartment house i lived i lived

00:35:28.400 in a rent house at the time and you're asleep sound asleep and what what happened what was your

00:35:33.580 experience so um i actually don't hear anything so i did kind of live in a rough neighborhood those

00:35:39.980 around lubbock you know it's getting close to avenue q it's a it's a bit on the rough side so i think

00:35:46.280 my house is because you're a rich guy you're a person of privilege is that what you're saying

00:35:49.060 oh yeah yeah you know i'm just super loaded that's why i'm in this position um so you live

00:35:55.160 you live in the hood yes very very much so but it's i mean it's a it's a great part of the district

00:36:00.840 though too it's not criticizing it's just funny it's like it just it has some higher crime rates

00:36:05.980 and it they you know lpd's done a great job actually in recent months like getting that area

00:36:11.880 cleaned up so it's it's getting better and uh but the people there are still like you like even my

00:36:17.820 friends and neighbors you know that were around there they're still they're just appalled at the

00:36:21.880 way that i was treated so you're asleep and what do you experience um my front door flying all the

00:36:28.080 way across the living room and damaging both of my couches and it will kind of lay sideways where

00:36:34.820 the door is blocked and i just think that my house is being broken into i have no idea what's

00:36:40.700 going on and so i i'm a 2a will always be 2a the second amendment is to defend your home your property

00:36:47.920 and your country from both enemies foreign and domestic and so i'm leaned across the railing with

00:36:54.920 an ar not knowing that there are federal agents outside until come on why didn't they just call

00:37:03.280 you see and this is the thing because at this point this is when they've made the first announcement

00:37:07.880 over the bullhorn ryan zing this is the fbi come out with your hands up but why didn't they just call

00:37:13.540 you and say report you know come downtown because they so they used a facebook post that i said i'm not

00:37:19.280 coming quietly on some stuff i'd seen some of the other arrests but i'm talking about my voice i'm a

00:37:24.340 journalist like i'm not some you know redneck you know who are these americans doing this yeah yeah

00:37:32.340 well and i i do i still believe to this day that there's foreign interference uh in 2020 as well

00:37:37.640 all through the biden election obviously or term administration but but these the thugs who ripped

00:37:43.420 your door off the hinges they're americans yes the fbi so sad so but there there were multiple

00:37:49.160 agencies that that worked it i mean we're talking about 60 people in a helicopter

00:37:53.900 actually yes and you never went inside the building they they shut down the blocks around

00:37:59.900 my house for fear that i was going to run like where am i going to go where federal agents in

00:38:05.340 the back this is what happens when you murder americans and there's no and lindsey graham

00:38:09.620 applauds and ever bipartisan applause right for killing americans i got i'm just gonna say it i

00:38:14.580 thought that about the ice killings i'm totally opposed to mass migration it should deport every

00:38:18.880 illegal i really believe that they're destroying this country however it's not a small thing to shoot an

00:38:23.640 american in the in the throat it's just not and you can't just blow past it because they treat some

00:38:29.180 liberal lesbian chick that way they're going to treat you that way at some point that's what i think

00:38:33.140 yeah and but and we have to look at those individually across the scale it's individual

00:38:37.240 actions don't show brutality to americans that's how i feel like why wouldn't i feel that way yeah

00:38:42.080 sorry i don't know why i'm out of control okay so you put you've got an ar god bless you and then

00:38:48.080 what happens uh they make the announcement and i dropped it quick because if anyone if any one of

00:38:54.300 those guys had come around the corner i wouldn't be here no oh you'd be like riddled swiss cheese

00:38:59.920 you know you'd be like the guy who predicted 9-11 yeah or you'd be like the the guy who showed up at

00:39:06.620 comet pizza at the wrong time yeah yeah and he was he was just shot to death in a traffic stop two

00:39:12.680 weeks ago as you've seen resisting arrest um yeah no i'm sure they couldn't wait to kill you so wow

00:39:18.420 so you drop the ar and then you find that it really is federal agents yes and so i'm like i'm trying to

00:39:23.520 peek around the corner to see what's going on because again i live in a bad neighborhood like

00:39:27.420 this is a tactic that's used by people to infiltrate homes well they'll be like please come out with your

00:39:31.780 hands up and it's actually four dudes that are coming after to rob exactly exactly so i i can't really

00:39:36.680 tell but then that's when the red dots you know hit all over me and that's when the flash actually the red dots

00:39:42.640 were on your body yes they were actively going to shoot me like if i had come around the corner

00:39:47.560 with that what would have happened if i decided not to post up at the back man what would happen

00:39:52.040 i would have been quick anyway yeah no or would it you know i mean like slow slow bleed out so

00:39:58.400 i'm taken into custody i walk out it's it's like i don't know like 12 degrees outside this day and

00:40:04.820 they will not let me have shoes i'm standing outside barefoot in jogger pants and like a t-shirt

00:40:11.500 for good 38 minutes so as they're inside of the house they are flash banging my dogs

00:40:17.840 repetitively a six pound papillon not even at that time he's like three pounds and a 70 pound

00:40:24.940 chocolate lab who's my bird dog who now has ptsd and he's damaged he can he can't hunt anymore

00:40:29.820 he's completely retired do any of these guys go to prison no every one of them should go to prison

00:40:36.180 for doing this i'd i believe that there are people that infiltrated this from washington dc like

00:40:42.420 michael d brown the the lead over my case i believe that he should be behind bars no questions asked

00:40:46.840 but anybody who flash bangs your chocolate lab should be in prison it's really simple yeah well i and not

00:40:53.520 just that but they need to pay for like the damages that it's that it's caused you know just like to to

00:40:59.700 our family and i'll get you know into that some uh later very briefly but it's it's not just that

00:41:05.820 it's the way that they perpetrated this whole thing like they broke every door in my house

00:41:10.980 unlocked doors the bathroom door broken bedroom door broken smashed open for no reason you know

00:41:16.260 they they stole things from my coin collection i'm i'm still missing roman coins all of my gold coins

00:41:21.580 are gone they these these are federal agents federal agents stealing from it like there's money

00:41:29.500 there's like a couple hundred dollars missing from my wallet you know the federal agents doing this

00:41:34.860 how does that you know i i wouldn't judge i'm not leaving the united states period i'm gonna die here

00:41:40.480 but i wouldn't judge you if you said i'm out i'm going el salvador i'm going to a civilized country

00:41:45.660 i'm not i'm not clearly you're not and i respect that but i also wouldn't judge you if you said i can't

00:41:50.200 live in a place like this this is too scary i'm not i'm here for the long run i'm texting i'm

00:41:55.040 texting by birth we're gonna fight i promise and you know so all that happens i wind up i go to

00:42:02.680 lubbock county jail as i'm leaving so they try to unlock my phone they didn't have a warrant for my

00:42:07.140 phone at first they're trying to unlock it with my face michael brown is uh michael d brown there's a

00:42:13.000 there's a difference in those characters not much in morality causes though but um you know they tell me

00:42:19.660 you know like do you know why we're here and i'm like i'm guessing this has something to do with

00:42:22.700 the capital i'm not saying anything else you're not my friends blah blah blah so the the lubbock

00:42:28.760 police officer from lpd pulls over after i'm taken into custody shuts off all of his cameras body

00:42:34.380 camera video camera everything and says we wanted to do this a different way what happened to you today

00:42:40.680 we were threatened that if we interfered in any way that they would strip our badge and take us right

00:42:45.720 down to the jail with you because you had multiple people from this department that know you that told

00:42:50.860 them all you have to do is make a phone call yeah and so that happens forced this yeah so that that

00:42:59.320 happened so the next you know couple weeks i'm at lubbock county jail there everyone was very nice

00:43:04.620 there except for this one you know like super lesbian chick that was there that was always in a bad mood

00:43:10.440 and um you know i still talk to some of these corrections officers that i see them you know

00:43:16.100 and i pass them on the street now that my case has been dismissed and i have my pardon you know

00:43:20.500 they're always like you know it was really crazy for us to see you there because it was obvious that

00:43:24.100 you didn't belong and um so this is where the diesel therapy starts so this is a common tactic all j6ers

00:43:31.220 went through this and some form or another so first i went to eden texas had an impromptu uh interrogation

00:43:37.940 as a terrorist like where i was physically removed from the rest of the population taken into a separate

00:43:43.200 building placed into a room with one man who i later found out was like the intake coordinator

00:43:48.620 of that facility i cannot remember his name right now uh he's in the lawsuit so we'll be seeing more

00:43:55.100 about that to come but uh he you know he brings me in does an impromptu interrogation says that he

00:44:00.660 knows that i'm a terrorist that i'm working with other people and stuff who is this guy he just works

00:44:06.500 for the facility it's it's a core civic facility it's a private institution that he just felt like

00:44:12.380 he was gonna you know be like captain save america or something obvious super democrat yeah private

00:44:19.040 prisons good idea yeah thank you if you ever thought that up yeah good good plan not to mention that like

00:44:25.020 uh you know i i do i do believe in in strong punishments for criminals like i'm not you know i i think

00:44:31.340 that there's gross negligence on a lot of judges for the sentences that they put on people but i

00:44:37.600 when you look at the prison system it's a monopoly like it's all the same people that are making all

00:44:41.980 the money you know keeping americans behind bars and then like the grievance processes and things like

00:44:47.220 that there's there's a lot that needs to be done for prison reform you know just for just for

00:44:51.200 conditions and and you'll you'll see that in the next part of this this segment like by the time

00:44:55.200 that i get to washington dc i've already seen like not not at lovett county like nothing happened

00:45:00.740 there but at some of the other facilities like federal like transfer like core civic you know you

00:45:05.660 see dudes in there that are being forced to like put lipstick on with m&ms like green m&ms they have

00:45:12.180 to dunk them in water and hold somebody's pocket and this is all in you know plain view of staff why

00:45:17.060 are they doing that what does that mean because they're owned by somebody in there they're being raped

00:45:22.820 how long were you behind bars um so from i so 84 days is about what i did for the whole thing i'm

00:45:32.660 one of the lucky j6ers for for all that doesn't seem lucky to me for never going inside the building

00:45:37.980 never breaking but when you look at you know some of the other people enrique tario ryan samsel you know

00:45:44.840 some of some of the conditions like i had it bad like when when i got to dc but i got to i got to be

00:45:50.300 out i got to be with my family i got to meet with my attorneys i didn't have to spend two three four

00:45:55.860 years in solitary confinement you know being driven crazy my my extent was just the dc and then i had to

00:46:03.940 go to a federal prison in arizona which that's a whole nother thing in itself right there you know

00:46:10.040 my my worst part of my journey was um well it will always be the two miscarriages

00:46:17.300 but um excuse me i'm sorry

00:46:21.920 it's hard i wasn't gonna get emotional today america no it's all right but um you know when

00:46:30.120 when i got to the facility i was a j6er like this is in c2b this is the original pods this whole facility

00:46:36.500 in washington dc is covered in mold this place was condemned and then reopened for use um due to

00:46:42.720 compiling crime that was going on and i'd like to remind everybody that the trump administration at

00:46:47.960 the end arrested 67 or 62 i think people and then by the six month mark joe biden's administration

00:46:55.240 had arrested well over 600 people at that point so i'm one of the first people to get arrested for

00:47:01.680 all of this and what is given to all of these different agencies across the region everyone and

00:47:07.080 what they actually told people in person they were still talking about brian sicknick and his death and

00:47:11.280 have like j6ers like beat him to death or something like that which he died from natural causes uh you

00:47:16.680 know we saw that we've seen the autopsy report they told cops at the scene that i had murdered a police

00:47:21.860 officer of course these guys are coming slamming you know like none of that's in the official

00:47:27.780 paperwork though this is just what i know from you know doing my own research and coming back and

00:47:32.000 talking to people so by the time that i get to dc well dc is obviously a democratic district all the

00:47:38.840 people that work at this jail are not at least on the intake side a majority of them they're not from

00:47:43.860 this country they're all foreigners so when we get there the abuse starts like i've got i can show you

00:47:49.220 like scars on my wrist from where they dug handcuffs into me until i bled i show i show these everywhere i

00:47:55.260 go they're foreigners yes i believe most of them are from somalia at least the intake crew the people

00:48:00.500 that are actually what yes at that facility when i was there i would say probably 70 of that staff

00:48:07.900 was foreigners somalis yep or a region close by just according to the dialect that i looked into

00:48:17.300 so whites are in serious trouble in this country they're not going to be treated well sorry well i

00:48:23.700 think anybody don't have to agree with that anybody who goes against the status quo is not going to get

00:48:27.740 treated well i don't think it matters what color you are well there's just so much hatred toward

00:48:31.000 people on the basis of their skin color that yes there is not good well and that's a problem in

00:48:35.700 my district too like you know we we have you know candidates that only work with one particular style

00:48:40.740 of people but they'll take money from everybody you know and there's there's a track record of that

00:48:44.940 but i'll get into that uh later so when i get to when i get to dc i'm segregated from the rest of the

00:48:51.280 people that are there that you know are just like being transferred i think there was like one guy was

00:48:55.220 there for murder there's another guy for like burglary of habilitation something like that

00:48:58.760 and i'm handed a bag of water and a moldy ham sandwich that's that's my welcome to dc

00:49:04.440 so um i haven't eaten like i've been getting diesel therapy i was in oklahoma city diesel therapy uh

00:49:12.200 that's where they just like my family had no idea where i was they wouldn't like they wouldn't let

00:49:17.260 attorneys know that you were being transferred they would just move you from place to place to place

00:49:21.120 so i went from lubbock county to eden texas to the core civic facility then i was taken to

00:49:27.880 uh midland texas but we did a big round road trip all the way up to like uh antin texas then back down

00:49:35.300 then i went over to midland i got on con air i actually flew uh on the you know big con air plane

00:49:42.020 and i flew from um midland to oklahoma city then i went to the federal sorting center just outside of

00:49:49.520 oklahoma city and then i was also putting on to a smaller plane i was flown to either somewhere in

00:49:54.980 pennsylvania or new jersey and then we did a road trip where they didn't allow us to stop

00:49:59.680 like period until we got to the jail like they stopped on the side of the road to relieve themselves

00:50:07.620 but they wouldn't let us out to do it and then were you handcuffed during this trip the entire time

00:50:12.280 shackles handcuffs and a box over the top are you serious yeah in the vehicle you're shackled in the

00:50:20.540 van yeah from for this entire like however many hours that we drove and remind you i don't know

00:50:25.140 where i am i still don't know what airport we landed at to be able to get an accurate

00:50:28.700 time description what were the other guys like who were traveling with you uh one of them was a j6er

00:50:34.360 um i mean they were some you know a little rowdy i mean it's you know just prison jail like they've

00:50:43.540 you know talking talking crap like everything else but you know pretty relaxed i'd say for the most part

00:50:49.980 um at least from what i like up until that point like then i was like you know still like new to the

00:50:56.100 whole you know being arrested scene so i didn't really know like what rowdy meant then but then um

00:51:02.420 you know so we uh we're we're in there we finally get there get my moldy ham sandwich

00:51:08.900 um and then it takes hours to get processed so they come in they take a picture of your iris

00:51:15.500 uh you know of your of your eye sorry and um you know get your fingerprints get everything done

00:51:21.380 if you said anything to them they're either going to like push you shove your head into something

00:51:28.640 like they're very very aggressive and then um my so the reason that i have the scars on my wrist

00:51:34.840 from the handcuffs is because i asked this particular gentleman where he wanted me to

00:51:40.040 put my clothes and he told me to shut the f up do what he says and then as soon as that happened i was

00:51:46.880 like okay here or there basically and he just was like just turn around and so he put cuffs on me

00:51:53.500 taking me all the way through um i still like there's just there's still a lot of trauma from

00:51:58.500 this that i sort through so i just this is such a nightmare i can't even i'm listening to you

00:52:02.680 thinking like how would i handle this i don't know well you just i mean the only way that i

00:52:07.360 handled this was my was my faith in jesus i mean i'll just be completely upfront honest about it

00:52:12.240 were you a christian when it started absolutely i was a christian i wasn't living my life the way i

00:52:15.620 was supposed to but i can definitely tell you that this woke me up to where

00:52:19.060 you know it's it's and i'll get i'll get into that you'll see the exact moment

00:52:23.800 here in just a minute too but you know i i make it to the first cell and um the first cell that i'm

00:52:31.620 introduced to at this facility has a quarter inch of urine and feces on the ground and there's no

00:52:35.600 running water in this cell like eventually they turn the water on to where it was there but we're

00:52:40.540 talking two days later you know so i'm in here i'm in this cell that's covered in mold urine and

00:52:45.760 feces another person's urine and feces not mine by the way this is in washington dc this is in

00:52:50.920 washington dc and c2b the first pod that i was put in i think it was like i think it was six to the

00:52:55.000 right if you go to the far left of when you walk into there what are we doing i don't understand like

00:52:59.880 what is this country doing i i don't i don't either and it gets worse like it gets a lot worse

00:53:04.000 from there and so at this point in time this is when um i'm starting to complain i'm saying you know

00:53:12.560 like hey can you get me a plunger like can i have a mop can i have anything denied denied denied

00:53:16.720 denied denied they're not letting me out i haven't showered it's been three days been there no shower

00:53:21.240 at this point it's really been like five days because i haven't showered since i left the

00:53:24.840 sorting center in oklahoma okay so you know i had to do a whole flight plus a drive you know to get there

00:53:31.700 at this point i haven't really eaten anything um i'm getting food at this for for these couple of

00:53:37.820 first days that i'm there and um i finally i get an attorney call and i had some other attorneys that

00:53:45.460 um they're democrats they decided not to uh continue with my case because i refused the plea deal i

00:53:52.740 wouldn't take it i sent you a copy of that as well so um so you can see like the verbiage and what like

00:53:58.740 the government wanted me to admit to in order to receive probation um versus a 20-year felony and um

00:54:06.500 so i i complained to my attorney and she calls the facility and says you know we want to do a

00:54:12.340 conditions check so they moved me all the way to the end i'm at the very end cell of the block and

00:54:17.200 um this made them very mad very very mad as a matter of fact i only got to come out to shower like

00:54:24.460 twice during this point and one of them is super critical so i'm here for however many weeks that i'm

00:54:29.620 at this facility and this is when they started pouring putting bleach in my food um or windex any

00:54:36.240 type of chemical that was in there i never had another meal that if i got to eat didn't have some

00:54:41.760 kind of chemical in it because i had complained about the facility and obviously i got somebody in

00:54:45.720 trouble but i still don't know who that is to this day because they won't open records you know for

00:54:50.880 for j6ers so i never i asked for a bible every single day that i was there which is why i carry

00:54:57.760 mine with me everywhere i go brought here to the studio today um that i was i was allowed to have

00:55:03.780 a book so this is the only thing that i had in solitary confinement the entire time that i was

00:55:07.420 there it was an eighth grade level reading book about a slave owner who falls in love with a slave

00:55:12.280 cheats on his wife and runs away to the north with her perfect reading for an eighth grade you know

00:55:16.840 school i guess in washington dc and so i'm sitting in myself i'm losing lots of weight like i'm i don't

00:55:28.560 have a cup to drink out of i'm drinking out of the bag that my soap came in um i'm getting i'm very sick

00:55:35.480 i'm rinsing out like rice and trying to rinse off like they would give us boiled eggs if and then when

00:55:40.500 they would deliver my food they would you know bring it in like the little styrofoam things too

00:55:43.640 and sometimes there would just not be anything in there so i would go for days on end without eating

00:55:48.800 or i would have you know rice and a piece of ham that's completely soaked in bleach that i have to

00:55:53.840 stick inside of my socks and start wringing it out you know just to be able to have some sustenance

00:55:57.640 and um it like i'm i'm having all kinds of stomach issues um i'm losing weight very very very rapidly

00:56:05.540 at this point and um i'm getting very sick well then one day they finally they let me out for a

00:56:12.320 shower and of course somebody goes in my cell and i'm thinking you know oh they're probably just

00:56:15.820 doing an inspection or something like that well what had actually happened was is they tried to

00:56:19.480 kill me they went in and they placed raw pieces of chicken inside of my water line to where it would

00:56:26.400 i would turn on the faucet and the water would come out and it would go past the raw pieces of chicken

00:56:32.520 and i didn't figure this out for i i don't really know when like how how many days it was because i

00:56:39.420 like no sense of time because i didn't have a tablet i didn't have anything that other prisoners

00:56:43.280 were allowed to be afforded because i was all the way at the end and um the only way that i knew this

00:56:49.400 was because i was drinking out of that bag that my soap came in and a little piece fell out and i was

00:56:54.800 able to stick my toothbrush my little government issued two inch toothbrush up inside of there and knock

00:56:59.620 all of that chicken out and there were three pieces about this big inside of there and mind you i

00:57:05.600 went in it like i'm like i'm since i got out of prison like obviously i've been i've been eating a

00:57:10.460 little bit you know but i went in at like 180 i came out at like 130 pounds like i would get out

00:57:16.000 you lost 50 pounds 50 pounds in custody in washington dc you know when when you consider like stress not

00:57:23.200 eating you know just the overwhelming amount of stress like having nosebleeds all the time from the

00:57:28.720 chemicals that are in my food throwing up all the time because my stomach hurts and i don't have

00:57:32.500 anything to keep keep it down being denied medical at all not never allowed to have a medical form

00:57:37.880 never allowed to have a grievance form nothing like we were isolated alone left there to die i thought i

00:57:44.700 was going to die as i said before you now i thought there was a point in time where i was going to die i was

00:57:52.540 looking out the window of the cemetery there's a cemetery that goes around this building on the

00:57:58.360 backside and i would watch people it was the only thing i had because i only had that one book about

00:58:03.420 a slave that i you know slid back out under the door so somebody else could have something to do

00:58:07.260 and i would watch people walk their dogs through the cemetery and i looked out there and i was like

00:58:12.800 i'm gonna die in here and like this is probably where i'm gonna go and my family's not gonna know

00:58:18.480 you know like what happened to me and by the grace of god he came into the cell with me you know while

00:58:28.840 i'm praying like god what like what did i do to deserve this like i thought i stood for something that

00:58:33.480 day i didn't hurt anybody i didn't damage anything like i didn't do anything that would really

00:58:38.860 make me make me deserve this like what like why am i here and god said very clearly i know the path

00:58:49.240 that i have for you you're you'll be fine you're going to get out of this i'll be right there with

00:58:56.320 you stay where i put you stay where i put you that's did you believe him i it was hard to at the time

00:59:08.760 but seeing the progression of where everything is gone oh tucker he was there he was there the

00:59:16.580 whole time and he never left me period and he'll never leave anybody that believes in him no matter

00:59:23.120 where you're at i promise he'll be in the fire with you i promise he'll be there man like i would

00:59:33.040 get out like four days later my uh the video of me protecting police officers on the east porch would

00:59:40.040 get to judge bosberg and he would release me and i was one of the first ones to get out like out of

00:59:47.120 all this and that's when the fight began you know we started going i was looking at decades in prison

00:59:51.480 decades decades in prison um i just want to say again that no one who did this has ever been punished

00:59:59.740 that i know of no they haven't i i'm i don't understand how if republicans have all three

01:00:05.300 branches of governor have the congress both chambers and the and the executive branch i don't understand

01:00:10.180 how no one's been punished well i can tell you it's because there's a division that's up there a

01:00:15.440 third of the people want j6ers to go to prison forever a third of the people just want j6 to

01:00:21.840 disappear and the other third don't care they're too focused on everything else which you know

01:00:29.560 we're all gonna have to answer for what we do that's true yeah that's true very much so so that's

01:00:35.960 that's that's basically the worst part besides the miscarriages you know we what did you mean when

01:00:41.880 you said the miscarriages so my wife and i we've had two miscarriages um during this entire process

01:00:48.300 of me being arrested um and then uh the conviction was um up to that point and now we have one daughter

01:00:57.920 another one on the way so bless you god so sorry you know it's it's just crazy to me that i would

01:01:04.600 have a four-year-old a three-year-old an 18-month-old and then one more on the way uh right right now with

01:01:10.340 our other daughter that's expected in april and i just they're the reason that i fight because i have

01:01:16.680 to leave something behind yes um for them and then so you know we would go through this whole process

01:01:22.080 of going back and forth the trial with the imminent peace that just reigned over me you know from that

01:01:27.940 point it's one of the things that you know like yeah it was difficult getting convicted in dc but

01:01:32.660 you know 14 democrats two democrat you know prosecutors i have you know three federal witnesses that i can now

01:01:39.780 prove perjured themselves in their testimony um i had 300 brady violations they refused to turn over 300

01:01:48.780 points of evidence from my camera cell phone and uh sd cards that i took for pictures on the day

01:01:54.500 um all the way up and to to the trial they were still saying that i had assaulted police officers gone

01:02:00.200 into the building and was just running like ruckus that day um so we got those dismissed i was

01:02:07.260 september 23rd i was convicted of the obstruction felony 1512 c2 that was overturned at the supreme

01:02:13.640 court uh i was put on stay and uh a motion of stay until the supreme court ruled on that and then when

01:02:22.040 we got to sentencing i was only convicted of the two misdemeanors and there's a very critical aspect

01:02:26.260 i sent you all the picture last night of what it was supposed to be posted outside well john nassif

01:02:31.560 another j6er just got his you know the supreme court didn't actually hear the case but they made a

01:02:37.040 ruling on it that said that the first amendment application ends the second a person crosses the

01:02:40.940 threshold of the united states capitol so if that's the case and they made the ruling on his that the

01:02:46.900 first amendment ends i never crossed the threshold so we'll see what the future holds for my lawsuits

01:02:51.380 against the federal government

01:02:53.080 so when were you convicted september of 23

01:03:00.200 so i mean that you know this is basically just like consumed your life for years years hundreds of

01:03:09.340 thousands of dollars well i mean how do you have a job during this like how what are you doing with

01:03:15.080 your life when you're just so i'm i'm still active in safety like i can get a like i work in safety

01:03:20.600 right now um i'm very safety uh so i'm i am a safety coordinator so i look at like what people are

01:03:29.600 doing when they work and decide um which i mean i have a boss you know so it's like yeah no i just

01:03:36.780 i didn't mean specifically who do you work for but like what so you like go into a work site and assess

01:03:41.580 yeah and i do i do audits and i watch like behavioral mechanisms to see like if ergonomically

01:03:47.300 there's something that we could change to stop somebody from getting hurt is there a process that

01:03:51.260 we can change are there administrative controls are there like can we put a guard to prevent somebody

01:03:55.500 from sticking their hand inside of here right and then i was uh also uh at some of the harshest

01:04:01.500 times so i was actually working i have no problem trashing them i was working for bear crop science

01:04:05.480 as their as their um safety director for the the research and development departments and uh working

01:04:13.040 with cotton you know all these different um just stuff that's relevant to my area you know where

01:04:17.620 where i live and they they terminated me when i got convicted i told them you know i'm going on

01:04:21.460 appeal and uh why'd they fire you for getting convicted bear's very liberal so bear being the

01:04:29.100 german pharma company yeah oh yeah so they you know it just um you know that was one of the things i i

01:04:36.540 was working how liberal are they very like that isn't how liberal that sounds like authoritarian kind

01:04:41.860 of well when you see like all the rest of the stuff that they do around the globe it's very easy to see

01:04:47.300 like which side they lean to like um the red tape bureaucratic control of like what they're spraying

01:04:54.100 the secrecy of behind it i mean you look they're spraying yes like agents that are harming you know

01:05:00.500 farmers like we have you know all like the chemicals that they spray are are causing health issues

01:05:06.360 amongst you know farmers it's not just here this is like a global aspect but bear is doing that

01:05:11.920 and yeah so i mean cyclone beta like what like what what does the general public actually know

01:05:17.280 about what's being zero zero zero and then all of that paperwork and everything is bound up and

01:05:23.420 there's only a select group of people that can know what's being sprayed up an airplane you know

01:05:27.080 500 yards from your house on land that they're leasing you know there's some there's some real

01:05:32.080 issues and some transparency issues that need to be handled and that's one of the things that i hope to

01:05:36.260 go forward with in congress um you know if elected is that so you're saying chemtrails are not just a

01:05:42.980 conspiracy theory i would well i mean when you look at that it's i i would believe that chemtrails

01:05:48.880 real they've admitted it's real but it's funny after and so is cloud seeding i mean we literally

01:05:53.840 have companies that are stating that they've been successful at putting you know manufactured rain

01:05:59.160 in our area of course no of course that's that's true around the world but um but if it's successful

01:06:05.440 well they also said for four years that j6 was totally organic it was not a false flag and now

01:06:10.820 we know it was a false flag yeah and there's documents that came out this week that you know

01:06:14.440 even christopher ray who by the way i forgot a part so when i was arrested he flew to lubbock and gave

01:06:19.080 the police chief of lubbock an award um and then he became smashing all your doors and well i mean the

01:06:25.500 feds did that so what was the effect on your family on your wife for example um we we had a lot a lot

01:06:33.340 of problems i think it was very scary the fact that um so my wife and i we've never had a wedding

01:06:39.380 because we we couldn't i didn't want them to label her as a domestic terrorist if you go in and look

01:06:44.380 at the quiet skies program and you know also uh the way that the patriot act is allowed to move

01:06:49.940 throughout communities the patriot act i believe is one of the most unconstitutional acts that was

01:06:54.600 ever passed after 9-11 they're literally able to quantify you so i was labeled as a white uh as a

01:07:02.260 white christian nationalist and then a domestic terrorist so like um this is the first flight

01:07:07.560 you were labeled as white and christian huh yes yes so um this is the first flight that i've had that

01:07:14.680 doesn't have the four s's at the bottom of it since uh february 4th 2021 this flight this flight here

01:07:21.980 to where i didn't get stopped at every single gate that i went through for never even going into the

01:07:28.360 building so you know and like and you know going back to the whole work thing i i do have to say

01:07:34.240 that i did travel all across the state of texas and speak i would do speaking engagements too where i

01:07:39.280 would talk about j6 i had the trump trailer that was gifted to me by um one of the gop chairs in

01:07:46.240 amarillo and i was selling trump merchandise all across the the state of texas at events 4th of

01:07:51.760 july's you know any place that i could find that i could post up all while running for congress in

01:07:56.880 the last term you know as well while i'm you know going through this because no representation there

01:08:03.260 were only two people that actually stood up for me uh out of all the offices that i called including

01:08:08.540 jody errington the current uh you know budget committee chairman and congressman for my district

01:08:14.020 that's retiring he refused to help the the two people why um well again a third a third of them

01:08:21.400 want us to go to prison forever a third of them wanted us to you know disappear and the other third

01:08:27.620 don't care and did you ever speak to jody errington face to face matt face to face showed him everything

01:08:33.520 that i've given you what did he say nothing so that he wasn't getting involved

01:08:37.640 nothing we're all gonna have to answer for how we live we are but i do i do have to give shout out

01:08:45.480 to the two people that did i disagree with some of the stuff that's happened policies are indifferent

01:08:51.200 but i have to give uh credibility where credibility is due dustin burroughs the speaker of the house for

01:08:56.140 the state of texas wrote a letter to the judge and um good for him george santos of course former

01:09:02.660 congressman george santos uh wrote it in and i love i love uh i love george i i talk to him you know

01:09:09.580 pretty regularly i disagree with the the way that some of the stuff with him was handled um you know

01:09:15.160 it just i never understood why they george santos has got a rank at the very bottom of the ranking of

01:09:22.160 like threats to national security yeah why george santos went to prison he did real he did time in

01:09:27.880 prison also as you know why do they hate george santos so much who by the way anyone knows george

01:09:32.960 santos impossible to hate the guy yeah he's very nice oh yeah he's amazing but just uh and i don't

01:09:39.300 agree with him on everything either but i don't need to he's a decent man you know he's a nice man

01:09:42.880 but i think it's stuff like that that got him yeah well and he i mean he brought me into his office his

01:09:48.900 staff was very very nice to me of course and he and he looked through everything of course and you

01:09:54.360 know and did you know and anything that i thought was in his power to to help and you know it wasn't

01:09:59.360 it wasn't enough like the gop chairs in a couple of different counties wrote some letters

01:10:03.140 but actual elected officials that that's it and i called every office in the state of texas

01:10:09.300 what about your governor avid doesn't care what what about senator ted cruz cruz's office

01:10:15.920 wouldn't respond they wouldn't respond i couldn't even get a call back nothing you should have told

01:10:22.320 him you're israeli um he'd show up at your house of course he does for money but um like we got

01:10:30.660 multiple phone calls from unavailable numbers that said if your dad drops out of the race we'll drop the

01:10:34.720 charges like we'll give you two hundred thousand dollars to drop and take the plea deal like i i got

01:10:40.320 phone calls like all through this was your dad arrested no interesting well and i mean that's

01:10:48.220 one of the things that it's like why did they target me it was because i wasn't a republican

01:10:51.760 congressional candidate i was just there you know and um or dad he must have felt such guilt

01:10:58.060 yeah yeah no he he he did but at the end of the day it's not his fault no of course it's not his

01:11:05.620 fault but you know and like he he does and he like he gets real emotional about it um sometimes but

01:11:11.400 the thing is is that we never stopped to fight we never stopped all this did was make me mad

01:11:15.700 the things that i've been through all this did was prove that our government has too much power

01:11:21.280 all this does is prove that the people of the united states of america have had their

01:11:25.180 constitutional rights whittled away from them one vote at a time in a room of like 435 people

01:11:32.720 that then goes up to the senate gets signed off on that's that's where we're at because we i believe

01:11:40.740 that we're i fully believe that we are not in a battle against flesh and against flesh and blood but

01:11:46.940 spiritual battle for the united states of america and not just for that for our world and that's one of

01:11:53.620 the biggest parts of my message of why i want to run for congress is not just what i've been through

01:11:59.000 which was a nightmare but it was who stood with me while i was in the fire and that's jesus christ

01:12:04.320 that's my that's my faith there are three books that built this nation the bible the constitution and

01:12:09.520 the bill of rights and they all three play off of each other and that is my platform because the united

01:12:17.260 states was designed to be run underneath the men who have the respect for the bible and if you don't

01:12:25.100 have that then your oath means nothing that's right any oath that somebody takes to this country

01:12:31.380 and some of the oaths in washington dc i i don't think they're valid either like when you look at

01:12:36.320 jeb bosberg a skull and bones member you know there's lots of things with him that are just

01:12:41.500 ridiculous that's my judge and if you don't like for the viewers if you don't know who that judge is

01:12:46.280 that's the one that's trying to make president trump bring back the 127 venezuelans who were put

01:12:51.220 on a plane and he tried to make the plane turn back around you know this is an unelected official

01:12:55.220 right trying to dictate out of a district of the united states of america trying to dictate

01:13:00.500 exactly what a president can do what the supreme court can do what you can do and then he's destroying

01:13:06.060 lives he's the chief judge in dc and i believe that he's responsible because even at trial like he

01:13:13.100 denied me a defense of the first amendment allowed 300 brady violations witnesses to lie

01:13:17.980 um you know he says like i'll give you an example of one of the jurors that i had

01:13:21.780 so one of the people that was approved for jury um in my for my trial was a democrat leader for i think

01:13:30.820 it was the netherlands who he literally stated when he came he was like i don't think that i can sit

01:13:37.340 for this case because i believe that everyone that was at the capitol that day is a terrorist

01:13:41.040 and james bosberg was like well um what we're talking about specifically is this defendant have

01:13:47.720 you seen anybody or anything about him that would lead you to believe that you couldn't be

01:13:52.840 fair and partisan and he said well i guess not and they said great we'll see you at four o'clock

01:13:57.460 first selection this is in my transcripts like that's the kind of fairness that we had 14 democrats

01:14:05.160 one of them cared so little about my life he fell asleep and then never shut back up after the

01:14:09.160 third day it's not a jury if you're pierce i think it's no say the other thing i noticed is that people

01:14:15.920 believe whatever they're told by the media well absolutely and you know i really do think that

01:14:22.040 mainstream um leftist leaning media is the true enemy of the people of the united states because the

01:14:28.980 you you can still tell a lie while telling a portion of the truth like if you if you leave out

01:14:34.900 you know any part that's absolutely relevantly critical you can completely spin a story while

01:14:39.460 it's true like what they're saying for as far as libel slander goes you know those probably don't

01:14:45.820 apply defamation because one portion of it is true like they'll be fine in a courtroom but we don't

01:14:51.440 have judges that are going after them you know for for the way that they portray things and i i think

01:14:58.100 that there should be accountability in media you know and but but how how do we do that did anyone

01:15:03.720 cover did any media organization cover j6 fairly do you think or was it all um jen phillips from

01:15:09.880 lubbock gave me a fair shot i i think that manny from abilene gave me a fair shot that's it

01:15:15.300 you know i i mean as far as as far as like the you know the leftist leaning like nbc abc affiliates now

01:15:23.500 like the epic times like all the people that i talked to along the way you know uh diamond and

01:15:29.200 silk like all the shows that i've been on they've been very fair you know ask some hard questions you

01:15:33.920 know and things that people wanted to know and and i think i think that's fine i think that's great

01:15:38.820 you know banter but then you know you look back at um you know what was done to me this this last

01:15:44.480 week i was at a i was at a forum kcbd comes in they do an interview with me and instead of actually

01:15:51.280 showing so like i've already filed an appeal and my case has been dismissed so not only did i go

01:15:56.280 through all of this but my case is now dismissed and i'm pardoned by the president so instead of

01:16:01.680 stating all of the facts they just said you know put up a video of me talking about the district and

01:16:06.620 then said jink was convicted of crimes in september of 23 even despite the fact that none of those are

01:16:12.320 relevant anymore that i've gone through this all of your gun rights been restored yes yes they have

01:16:18.740 so and i and i use them and i encourage everybody to have them and every you know everywhere that i go

01:16:25.960 i i carry and i think every american should too i think you should be given two things at birth a

01:16:30.380 bible and a gun yep and and and you and learn to use them both accordingly because they will be the

01:16:36.080 biggest weapons that you need to fight everything in this world uh particularly more so on the bible

01:16:41.440 but um now i'm running again so why are you okay so first of all thank you for recounting that uh

01:16:50.420 appreciate it yeah man was an emotional it is man i try i try not to but man it's so oh it made me

01:16:56.640 emotional um okay why are you running for congress i want to make sure that west texas stays away from

01:17:07.920 washington dc politics and austin texas politics we have a great thing in our district and we have

01:17:15.540 lots of issues that need to be looked at sincerely and we cannot have somebody who is not willing to

01:17:23.360 speak up in the fight for our country um representation in our area has always been very lax on what they'll

01:17:31.580 say and i think that we need a strong front i think that i've been vetted out you know i i refuse to take

01:17:38.480 a plea deal i refuse to bend the knee so i feel like i've already been vetted you can tell a lot about a

01:17:44.980 person who um has faced the giants and came out on the other side and kept moving and i i believe that

01:17:56.200 i would do a lot of good for the district because we're in a spiritual battle and i've become so close

01:18:01.740 in my faith um i have a lot of support for my community there's i've never actually met a person

01:18:07.220 that has condemned me for what happened once they've seen like everything that i was able to show them

01:18:13.820 i don't know what they would condemn you for i don't well you'd be surprised i mean there's some

01:18:18.620 people you're just never gonna reach i mean it's like you can see it on like facebook posts twitter

01:18:23.540 posts which i don't even have a congressional uh facebook page right now because they seized it

01:18:28.700 again who did facebook why they took it down because i am uh not real disingenuous behavior

01:18:38.060 what i'm totally confused when did facebook take this down uh like five days ago so they seized

01:18:43.860 they took down your congressional facebook page yes yes i'm what i'm okay for disingenuous behavior

01:18:49.880 disingenuous yeah they're basically saying that i'm not who i say that i am even though i am a

01:18:55.660 congressional candidate they they keep seizing it and i'll i i can i'll scroll through my phone i got

01:19:00.240 like 50 different examples i'm actually filing charges with the lubbock county sheriff's office

01:19:03.800 over this i'm not really sure what's going to be able to be done about this because you know we saw

01:19:09.080 like cara castronova fight her case against facebook and i think she spent a couple million dollars and

01:19:13.780 lost but you know this is one of those those things where a left-leaning liberal ally like

01:19:18.800 he's donated like 500 million dollars to democrats speaking specifically about mark zuckerberg

01:19:24.580 and then they have the right to deny my voters my opinion just because they can say that i'm

01:19:32.580 disingenuous but did you do something to trigger this there's only two posts on there one was about

01:19:38.020 abortion i tried to post something about abortion because i believe that life begins at conception

01:19:42.480 obviously it does yeah i will never vote for anything that will promote abortion in america

01:19:46.600 abortion is murder of course it is and everyone knows that by the way yeah and you know and that

01:19:52.160 was one of the things that they just absolutely would not let me post and then the day after that

01:19:55.580 they seized it oh so mark zuckerberg doesn't want anything to get in the way of human sacrifice i i

01:20:01.080 don't i don't know if that's his stance but from the people he hangs out with i think that that could

01:20:05.380 be a real possibility yeah i think that's real i think most of what they're so you're running for

01:20:10.160 congress i don't think i've heard a story of someone mistreated by the government

01:20:13.780 like the one you just told in a long time that's an unbelievable story and then you want to

01:20:19.960 participate you you don't become a revolutionary you're not stockpiling c4 you're like i'm going

01:20:24.940 to go to washington change the system within the structures that our forefathers created like you're

01:20:30.320 doing the right thing and zuckerberg's like yeah i don't like your position on abortion you you can't

01:20:36.880 talk in public anymore what do you do about that like who do you appeal to x that's the that's where

01:20:44.680 i go to you know it's uh you know ryan z for congress is it's my page on there i've never once

01:20:51.100 been taken down i've never had anything and i've posted some real doozies you know like you just

01:20:58.100 you have to go where the where the freedom is in in this country and uh so x you know independent

01:21:04.420 uh shows to get the truth out but there's no one you can call if facebook takes you down nope there's

01:21:09.840 not there's not a phone number there's nothing you have to go through the appeals process and

01:21:13.000 actually they haven't even given me an appeal process to get it back they just seized it took

01:21:16.240 it from me i sat across from mark zuckerberg at the presidential inauguration uh were you there

01:21:21.440 were you invited no i was not okay he was so just for the record interesting um i can tell you why

01:21:27.460 why i can tell you why i think is because um a majority of the j6 facebook profiles were surrendered

01:21:35.220 voluntarily they didn't even have to get a warrant on a majority of them now there were warrants that

01:21:40.620 were issued some of them actually came later but the things that people post that are now public

01:21:47.260 information uh three-letter agencies can take that and they can do compression files on it and that's

01:21:52.240 how they were like labeling people and rounding people up um with you know the yeah like people

01:21:59.960 have no idea what they're agreeing to when they you know click that box like they just want the

01:22:05.080 facebook account they want to be able to connect to you know chad from billings montana they went to

01:22:08.940 high school with but they don't see the danger that's behind what they're actually agreeing to

01:22:14.360 that is perfectly legal because it's a private company and that's that's part of the issue that's some

01:22:20.540 some of the things that i want to change when i get there not just like there's a lot of stuff about

01:22:24.280 my district that i like to cover but you know there's there's a lot of protections that americans

01:22:28.500 voluntarily give up that they should be made aware of like it should literally be a checkbox that says

01:22:32.280 do you are you aware that any photo that you post on here is compiled into an ai drive to help identify

01:22:39.160 you that's something that should be talked about it's very clearly in a long you know summation of

01:22:47.380 wording you're agreeing to that and it's there and it's real and this is a very clear and present

01:22:52.460 danger you know like ai is a big concern of mine because one we have to stay out ahead of china i

01:22:58.660 think this so in our in in my district this is a big issue because we're we're getting ai centers

01:23:02.740 we're getting data centers we're can we're you know we're very concerned about how we're going to

01:23:07.440 keep water in our districts but to say do you have the water for that so um we we have the water

01:23:14.260 water but for how long you know when when they come in are we looking at 20 years are we looking

01:23:19.440 at 30 years my you know i i have proposals that i would like to see that are you know we have flare

01:23:25.240 gas in west texas it's a way burn off gas yeah atmospheric water generators would be perfect to

01:23:30.520 put on there we could offset and let the music closed loop systems i think are going to be mostly

01:23:34.980 beneficial but they cost they take a lot of energy and how are we supposed to keep you know the we have

01:23:41.020 to stay ahead of china we have to stay ahead of russia so are these set not to get in the weeds

01:23:44.840 but are these centers can be run on flare gas is that the idea i that's that's what i would like

01:23:49.160 to see well yeah i would like to uh so i would like to get on several committees like the ag board energy

01:23:54.800 sector and because i believe that we can do this but at what cost i mean we're already 40 trillion

01:24:02.540 dollars in debt we just spent like what another 800 million dollars like yesterday the day so is the

01:24:06.180 district being asked to pay for some of this stuff i i think that um just like anything else

01:24:11.940 you know they say this is not going to hurt you you know this is not going to affect your you know

01:24:15.500 your electric bill and then what do we see three years down the road when the funding runs out you

01:24:19.260 know it comes from us and tax rates go up and we see why would citizens fund private businesses

01:24:24.260 whether it's a sports stadium or a data center i don't understand like what well yeah and you know

01:24:30.460 and but you see this all the time where we we get promised something to say like wind turbines they

01:24:36.440 said that it was going to be like one of the greatest i built them i built hundreds of these

01:24:39.600 things they're not ever going to pay for themselves you know and this doesn't have you told ben shapiro

01:24:47.820 because this doesn't sound like the free market to me at all man maybe i should you think he'd listen

01:24:53.400 no i don't think he's on yours i don't think he's on your side ryan but you know you just hear these

01:24:58.860 people the free market capitalism i'm in favor of it when when when do we get that because this

01:25:05.640 doesn't it seems like the opposite seems like crushing the middle class to help like a tiny

01:25:12.840 percentage of the of the population get richer than anyone's ever been and then blame it on the rich

01:25:17.060 yeah doesn't seem like capitalism to me but um who are you running against so i'm i'm running against

01:25:24.920 um eight so there's eight people total in the race in the primary uh yes so uh well there's seven

01:25:32.660 in the republican and then one in the democrat seat i'm assuming west texas is still decided in the

01:25:39.320 primary correct um yeah so it's whoever gets this seat you're in pretty much right the republican

01:25:46.700 winner of the republican primary will be the next member of congress yeah where i think we're 20

01:25:51.540 plus 25 plus right yeah yeah that that's my point okay so um of the seven the six you're running

01:25:57.160 against who are they do you have a shot um i i do believe that i have a shot i think that i have the

01:26:03.620 experience i think that uh you know once people see the the the full you know story of jsex plus you

01:26:10.760 know there i i think i think so so uh one of the people that we have is tom sell um he is a lobbyist

01:26:19.360 he's worked in you know he's worked in ag for a long time but for both sides and not all of the

01:26:27.780 things that he's worked on do i feel really had the relevancy to quantify experience i think that

01:26:32.960 he was there with larry combist whenever he was um a congressman for our district the first uh

01:26:39.100 republican congressman when we flipped and have been a republican ever since but um i'm not really keen

01:26:46.160 on 76 percent of the farm bill going to snap benefits i think it's a waste of money you know

01:26:52.160 there there there's a lot of things about the farm bill that need to be changed i mean our the farmers

01:26:56.920 in our area well not just here but all across the united states but this this is the district that i

01:27:01.400 love that i call home is we have some of the highest input costs that we've ever seen ever and we need a

01:27:08.160 farm bill that stops putting a band-aid on on funding i mean we we have a slew of things i think one of the

01:27:14.660 most important issues that's been neglected not only in the first farm bill that he helped right

01:27:19.220 um is insurance we we're at a giant insurance war and also in funding like it is very very hard to

01:27:29.860 get ag lending with the interest rates with the amount of money that that goes down not to mention

01:27:34.400 if you're trying to buy a new tractor i don't know if you've looked at the price of some of those lately

01:27:37.780 it's astonishing how much it's costing us and then at the same time you know we have um grifters

01:27:45.620 that are coming in across the district that make these raucous claims about they've generated millions

01:27:52.060 of votes for donald trump with an organization for uh you know like abraham enriquez and i've seen

01:27:59.240 no relevant information outside of what his campaign puts out that he's raised millions of votes for

01:28:07.040 donald trump i haven't seen it you know i hear it so these are that you're talking about a candidate

01:28:13.120 in the primary yes so i don't know how you've been treated but having watched other people make

01:28:20.160 similar statements about the way our system works i think you're going to get attacked that's just my

01:28:25.560 guess pretty i've been attacked for for five years now but on my rounds um i've i had uh i've had

01:28:33.000 death threats we've had somebody come out to my house and placed three targets three shooting

01:28:38.460 targets on my vehicles one for me one for my wife and one for my daughter um i turned those over to

01:28:44.780 the hockley county sheriff's office and they took a report there were no fingerprints nothing came out

01:28:50.040 of it um you know i i get attacked for being at j6 i get attacked for um my faith on a regular

01:28:57.860 basis um fairs you know little nefarious group of no i'm not just going to say democrats i'm just

01:29:04.260 going to say um you know people that don't believe you know the spiritual warfare aspect of it there's

01:29:08.760 always that that attack um but the threats on my life and my family are the ones that you know it's

01:29:14.540 it's uh it's something that i hope nobody has to experience but i'm there you know already you know we

01:29:21.560 we have guys in our race that are parading around you know after getting the government's

01:29:26.360 endorsement with security in jones county like nobody wants to shoot anybody in jones county

01:29:32.040 you know this is a very very small district that you know has lost you know two hospitals

01:29:36.780 which is another huge you know huge issue and then we have um you know just continuing like with who

01:29:43.120 i'm running against jason corley precinct two commissioner for lubbock texas um i like jason i think

01:29:48.380 he's a great guy honestly i think uh i think he's got some experience and some knowledge i think would

01:29:54.100 benefit um across the district not to say that i don't have you know the same experience i've been

01:29:59.440 entirely focused on how congress works for five years trying to overcome laws that would not just

01:30:07.160 benefit me but 1600 people um i think there's um some things that he wants to do that are great for

01:30:15.280 the district that i would be that i would love to be a part of um too but there's there's just some

01:30:20.900 there's something uh missing and it's not you know like a like a smash at him because i i think

01:30:28.160 there's guys that have run for the right reason and then uh you have dal may uh who's 80 years old

01:30:33.580 he's a uh i believe he's a neurosurgeon if i if i remember correctly has a you know decorated

01:30:40.160 veteran uh you know he's a he's a wonderful man do we really want to put up you know look at mitch

01:30:47.240 mcconnell this week like where are we where are we at across the line of where how old is is too old

01:30:54.860 like he seems pretty chipper but some of the things that he says i i think it's more of a fantasy than

01:31:00.860 a reality of what you're actually going to get to commit well a dying country has dying leaders

01:31:05.220 so it's a bad it's just a bad trend and and i i think there's some i think there's some dissonance

01:31:11.760 to that because what can you actually get accomplished right now i mean we have everything

01:31:16.280 that we need to restore this country right now we still aren't getting the votes yeah you're not

01:31:20.860 getting anything done at all and it's getting worse of course and it's just a complete betrayal i think

01:31:25.220 that's fair to say but the question is why and the answer from what i can tell maybe you disagree

01:31:31.200 is that the machine is so strong that it takes an extraordinary person to stand in its way

01:31:37.780 it does and but i think that we could do that though and see and this is take some extraordinary

01:31:42.280 people i mean i mean look at look at what the squad did to congress like look at how they were able to

01:31:48.260 manipulate nancy pelosi into a corner they're in their they're in their own way extraordinary people

01:31:53.020 i mean it's just a fact i disagree with them of course and i absolutely but i i think they're a

01:31:59.380 talented and be you know pretty good at pretty brave really they stood against a lot of things that

01:32:06.780 their leadership wanted and um i don't know i i would i i don't want them in charge of anything

01:32:13.160 i know they put me in prison immediately if they ever took power however i think their success

01:32:18.640 within their own conference is a model to republicans like don't go along with what mitch

01:32:25.540 mcconnell wants and mike johnson's which is weak ineffective that's that's the biggest sinister

01:32:32.600 too i mean let's be honest they're sinister like what is this the biggest thing that i see that

01:32:37.520 is is like holding americans back is that we have to get control of our of our spending our you know

01:32:43.600 our our budget is designed to protect america benefit the american citizens and then we get into foreign

01:32:50.280 policy about you know like where typically our money is gone is it leaves our country and i have a huge

01:32:58.680 issue with that you know and some and some some of the other candidates they don't they don't have

01:33:03.980 an issue with that i'm america first i believe if it doesn't benefit americans then we shouldn't be

01:33:09.100 doing it and i don't care what country it is we there's no reason for us to be sending billions and

01:33:13.980 billions of dollars one to research you know transgender frogs in south america like what you know any of

01:33:19.580 these other crazy things that have come out with doge and we should not only be allowing doge to

01:33:25.440 continue but we should be way more actively involved in where our spending goes i think that americans

01:33:32.520 have the right to say no of course and of course they do no and yeah and i do think at this point

01:33:40.000 when you find out that like everyone at doj has been sitting on the epstein files for 15 years and they

01:33:45.100 knew they're complicit in it and so at this point the government has very little legitimacy left i would

01:33:50.900 say i don't feel that they're legitimate and i just i just think that there's no transparency at

01:33:56.360 all right i just think that we're being completely lied to well right and you have to navigate that

01:34:01.760 you have to have the experience of going through something like i did to see the wording to see the

01:34:07.140 writing on the wall and not donate money to the other side for this cause or stand firm in the gap

01:34:14.720 for where you are because we we're never going to get anywhere if we don't fix it like i i really feel

01:34:20.600 you know we're coming up on 250 years here it's life worth what are we going to leave behind for our

01:34:28.640 children i agree it takes bravery that's that's what it takes uh and you've displayed it so last

01:34:35.800 question is since you're not on facebook well i have one i just don't have a congressional page

01:34:40.400 how do people learn about your campaign so how do they send you money um i just want to say that if

01:34:47.100 every viewer that watched this sent me five dollars we could keep the district in its entirety in

01:34:53.340 republican control i i think that that would be more than enough but i only take money from people that

01:34:59.500 believe in me i don't want to take money from packs you know everybody says you know yeah well they'll

01:35:06.100 give you all this i i want business owners i want true patriots americans who are sick of the system

01:35:13.580 that we live in to get behind me i don't want to see if you think that i'm going to bow down to a

01:35:22.160 cause like with major farm or something like that that would get me to vote a certain way that dishonors

01:35:28.680 the people of my district or dishonors the way that i would live my christian life i don't want

01:35:36.100 your money but if you want to be one of the people that believes in me that stands up for american values

01:35:43.340 that stands up for uh a country that was founded on biblical principles you can go and you can find

01:35:49.800 everything about my campaign and about me at ryan zinc.vote that's r-y-a-n-z-i-n-k dot vote

01:35:56.740 i'm uh on x at ryan z for congress uh that's the the tag handle and then ryan zinc is uh my facebook

01:36:06.020 and then i also i have a tiktok but i use that more of a uh a platform for my bible studies if i

01:36:12.880 feel led to move you know something to get a message out on there i put that on tiktok and that's just

01:36:19.000 ryan z ryan zinc for congress on there i appreciate you taking all this time and coming out here for this

01:36:25.000 man i i appreciate you putting uh some interest in district 19 you know we it's it's very hard to

01:36:33.180 um be in our area and get recognition get exposure to like the needs of our of our community oh i bet

01:36:41.180 uh just for where we are i i feel like sometimes we as big as we are like it's a large district it's

01:36:47.140 over 30 000 square miles you know we we've got you know 750 000 people ish somewhere around there

01:36:55.160 uh it's it's a big district and you know it's it's food it's fuel it's fiber but more importantly it's

01:37:03.100 it's faith it's family and it's freedom is what grows in our district and that's where

01:37:08.700 i call home and i love it and i really appreciate the opportunity to come in and tell my story

01:37:13.200 amen right and saying thank you very much thank you
