January twentieth by President Donald J. Trump. Now let's leave

Hello, guys, thank you for inviting us.
25
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:15.560
How's it going.
26
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.639
It's going good. And Cindy, I know you're having a
27
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.159
little bit of video difficulty, so but we've got you
28
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:24.800
out there. You doing okay?
29
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.560
Yep? Thank you for having me. I'm right here.
30
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:33.280
You bet, you bet. I'd really appreciate if we could
31
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.960
everyone maybe just start with you all telling your stories.
32
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.240
I'm gonna let ladies go first, and then maybe Steven
33
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.879
and Joshua. I just kind of like you to to
34
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.919
share with our audience about who you are and a
35
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.960
little bit of your background story. Cindy, the mic is yours? Okay.
36
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.680
Well, I'm a grandmother from Bristol, New Hampshire, sixty eight
37
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.280
years old, and I was arrested in June of twenty
38
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.919
twenty three, but that wasn't the first time the FBI
39
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.560
had come to see me after January sixth. I had
40
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.360
gone to January sixth because I had concerns over a
41
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:18.240
fraudulent election, and I also wanted to hear President Trump speak.
42
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.280
I found myself in the building after being whipped up
43
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.400
with the crowd by munitions being shot at US rubber bullets,
44
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:34.479
cs gas flash bangs, and I was in the building
45
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.199
for about twenty six minutes, walked through open doors and
46
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.360
walked out on my own power. I was never asked
47
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.039
to leave. I asked for directions how to get out
48
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.520
of that building. So then the FBI came to visit
49
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.520
me and they opened a case and they looked at
50
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.960
all the videos that they had and they decided to
51
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:01.319
close the case. And then in December of twenty twenty two,
52
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.080
the Sedition Hunters, which is an arm of the FBI,
53
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.560
sent information back into the FBI about me. They had
54
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.120
found more connections with me with video I had. Also
55
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.279
at that point in time, I was attending school board
56
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:22.920
meetings and I was speaking out against CRT curriculum and masking.
57
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.279
And that was right when Merrick Garland had issued his
58
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.800
letter that everybody going to school board meetings was a
59
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.079
domestic terrorist. So the FBI reopened a case on me,
60
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.199
and then they ended up charging me in June of
61
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.279
twenty twenty three, and I went through. I had the
62
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.600
four misdemeanor charges. I brought it to trial. I didn't
63
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.560
take I had several plea deal offers that I did
64
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.959
not take, would not take because I felt I did
65
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.360
nothing that I wanted to plead guilty too. I went
66
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.560
to trial. I was found guilty on all four counts
67
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:11.240
in October, now in November, and I missed going I
68
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.800
was sentenced, and I missed going to jail by two days.
69
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.639
When the pardon came through, I was supposed to report
70
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.879
to jail on the twenty eighth.
71
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.720
Wow, that's that to me, sounds like a God.
72
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.759
Thing for sure.
73
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.519
And I believe That's had his hand in my life
74
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.079
for a long time. I was when I was an infant.
75
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.959
I was in a plane crash when I was eighteen
76
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.360
months old and it was thirty four people on board.
77
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.120
Ten survived and I think that really God has had
78
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.639
me in his hand all along, and he didn't let
79
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.600
go me through January sixth either. Amen.
80
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.319
Let me talk to you and have you tell us
81
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.000
your story.
82
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.360
All right, Well, I'm just a regular. Grew up in
83
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.800
Maryland and I worked in DC for many years, so
84
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:07.079
i'd know the city.
85
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:07.360
Well.
86
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.040
I've always been very politically interested. I'm kind of the
87
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.399
outcast among my peers where I follow politics more than sports.
88
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.879
So I've always had an interest in the affairs of
89
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.279
my nation, and is since I was old enough to
90
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.920
know what I was understanding or know what I was
91
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.439
seeing and reading, I've been following it since then. So
92
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.120
what brought me to d C on January sixth, twenty
93
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.639
twenty one was seeing what happened, what they did to us,
94
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.680
so we know that they rigged the election. I watched
95
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.319
that happen with the graphs overnight, and then we were
96
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.360
fed up with the medical tyranny that they inflicted on
97
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.079
us with COVID, and knowing what we now know about it,
98
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.120
it makes it even worse. But so there was a
99
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.959
lot of things, and I think jointly between everybody there
100
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:04.680
that had led to a culmination of just outright dissent
101
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.879
against the government. So for what they were doing to us,
102
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.519
and so as it is our right to go have
103
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.959
a redress of grievances, that's what we went down there
104
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.600
to do. And I don't think anybody had it in
105
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.439
their mind going to DC, Hey let's go rush the capitol.
106
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.720
I've been to DC many times before for March for Life,
107
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.120
for different protests here in their organized events, and it's
108
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.439
always been peaceful, you know. Yeah, a lot of emotion,
109
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.519
a lot of you know, excited people, but no violence,
110
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.920
nothing ever getting out of control. And so my mind,
111
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.000
this is just another one. And then it was another
112
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.800
opportunity to see Trump. I'd seen him twice for the
113
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.399
fourth of July twenty nineteen and twenty twenty the Salute
114
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.079
to Americas as he called them. Those were a lot
115
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.839
of fun. So when I saw the stop or the
116
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.160
yeah stop, the Steel Rally think what it called, what
117
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.000
they called it, I was excited to go down to
118
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.399
another one. So just another good old event in DC.
119
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.040
And as you know, we finished there at the Lips
120
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.560
and walked towards the Capitol and then I was towards
121
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.439
the backside of the crowd, so seeing and then hearing
122
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.680
the telephone game of people reporting what was happening, it
123
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.600
was like, whoa this is This is very different, and
124
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.480
so I think my involvement was more out of genuine curiosity.
125
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.680
I've been in the Capital many times before for tours
126
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.399
and and other you know, I know people around there,
127
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.120
so I've gotten you know, many I've been in there
128
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.200
may times before, so seeing what was happening here, I
129
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.039
was like, wow, this is different. It's kind of an
130
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.000
exciting way to see the Capitol again, never had any
131
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.879
I was never violent, I was never aggressive. I didn't
132
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.480
do anything the entire day to even look for violence
133
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.480
or hostility. I was just kind of flowing with the
134
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.080
with the crowd and curious. So I wanted to see.
135
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.960
I'm the little kid like I want to go see
136
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.600
up front. So that was kind of my disposition throughout
137
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.799
the day. I had a flag with me. I always
138
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.480
carry flags when I go to DC for these different events,
139
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.279
so proudly I love my flag. As a matter of fact,
140
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.039
that flag behind me is the flag I had there
141
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.679
that day. So yeah, at long story short, after that,
142
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.120
you know, the day ends and everybody goes home. I
143
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.600
think I was inside the building for ninety seconds. I
144
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.480
got up to one of the doors, peered in, walked,
145
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.080
you know, got inside a little bit. They were already
146
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.080
kind of pushing people out, said okay, turn around, no
147
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.480
hostile confrontations with police or anything. Uh, and walk back
148
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.480
out and just hung around with holding my flag. That
149
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.879
was it, And for that I got treated like the
150
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:47.639
worst of terrorists. Amused by the ways I'm described in
151
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:52.039
the investigative documents that I have, I think they call
152
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:57.799
me an anti government extremist tier level one known terrorist
153
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.600
encounters when going to the airports, I visit family over
154
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:06.159
out out of the country, so I can't say it's
155
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:10.200
too insulting to me. I rather see that as pissing
156
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.279
off the right people. It's like, you know, I did
157
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.879
nothing wrong, you know, and now that we know what
158
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.120
we know more further about it, it's like, I definitely
159
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.039
didn't do anything wrong, because it was it was an entrapment,
160
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.120
So not to go too far down that rabbit hole,
161
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.200
but anyway, yeah, that was kind of my involvement there.
162
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.039
They came and arrested me in July of twenty three.
163
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.960
Swat the full swat. I mean, my neighbors have never
164
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:36.039
seen anything like this before. I don't know who's more traumatized,
165
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.759
me or them. Wow, And it was. It was a
166
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.559
grotesque show of force. I think more for the intimidation
167
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.879
of people observing than for the actual target, because they're
168
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.960
trying to send a message. All of this is extreme excess.
169
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.320
There's no reason for that. There's no reason they couldn't
170
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.440
have somebody come up, say you two guys come to
171
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.919
the door, say hey, we'd like to ask you a
172
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.519
few questions about your involvement here. But you know why
173
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:04.000
they were using swat on you know, seventy plus year
174
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.679
old grandma here and this family with little kids, because
175
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.320
it's intimidation. And so you know, when they come to
176
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.480
my house, I can show you this here like that.
177
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:22.200
This is from yeah, yeah, yeah, and this is just
178
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.320
from that point of view from the window. They had
179
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.200
a whole lot more vehicles there and shut down pretty
180
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.360
much a large part of this town. It's like, are
181
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:34.840
you guys serious? Yeah. The the excessive use of show force.
182
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.679
I've never had so many guns pointed at me in
183
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:37.879
my life.
184
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.279
And that's the unfortunate thing is that, you know, I mean,
185
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.960
we hear about them rolling up on people, you know,
186
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.120
early dawn raids. You know, guns blazing, shocking off of
187
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:57.559
your neighbors, grenades, flash bang grenades being thrown, people's carpets
188
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:02.039
being burned, the ripping off of cameras off their off
189
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.399
of the house. You know, it's it's all, it was
190
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.320
all there for they.
191
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.159
Go up taping people's cameras. It begs the question, what
192
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.759
what are you hiding? When I came back to my
193
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.320
house after I got really, I never did any jail time.
194
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.480
It was it was a dragged out process though, but
195
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.440
you know, I find all my stuff unplugged. My house
196
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.519
was a wreck, and unfortunately the night before I had
197
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.720
just got done cleaning the house, so they turned my
198
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.399
house upside down. I had in my room closed from
199
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.000
this drawer all the way across the room over here.
200
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.399
My office was torn apart, my living room was torn apart,
201
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.559
my basement. Mean, they took every single corner of this
202
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:38.919
house and flipped it upside down.
203
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:44.480
Oh my goodness, it was. It's ridiculous, absolutely, Josha. I
204
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.000
want to hand it to you and and have you
205
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.639
tell us a little bit of your story.
206
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.519
All right, Well, thank you so much. Uh J six
207
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.080
friends out there. How's it going, guys. Nice meeting you guys.
208
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.759
I'm from you know, Houston, Texas, Mexican American, first generation born.
209
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.360
A lot of stuff brought me to the uh Trump
210
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.720
parade and all that, how it was happening.
211
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.039
I was a big Trump flan.
212
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.399
I kind of felt I didn't fall to the propaganda
213
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.759
of who he was, but I never really paid attention.
214
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.919
But that's all you hear, is all you know? Trump
215
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.759
did Trump that. If I don't hear from the from
216
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.879
from the man's mouth itself. I kind of don't don't
217
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.399
take a lot of things count for anybody. It's always
218
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.840
I didn't hear from their mouth, you know, I take
219
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.279
it with a grain of salt. Then I started watching,
220
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:29.960
you know, the Trump videos, and I was like, oh man,
221
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.600
you know, we all see how they words.
222
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.320
So I was like, you know what, let me just go.
223
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.919
It's my first time ever being political in this uh
224
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.480
you know see what it's about. Went from Houston down
225
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.639
to Drove. At the time was with my two girlfriend.
226
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.200
We were in relationship for two months. We are married now.
227
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.200
I did nineteen years and federal I mean, I'm sorry,
228
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.000
nineteen months in federal prison.
229
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:51.879
The last six months.
230
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.519
Were in solitary confinement, and I was I've been on
231
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.679
probation for five months now as of the partner I
232
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.919
have been, you know, no longer restrict by.
233
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.960
The DOJ's of custody. There was a lot of stuff
234
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.679
I saw that day. I can't wait till a lot
235
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.840
of us more come out. I was in there.
236
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:15.480
I had the judges and the prosecutor gas like me onto,
237
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.639
you know, thinking my time of events didn't happen as
238
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.919
they said it happened. So I gave him the benefit
239
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.840
of that out at the time, his first time ever
240
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.320
being in court. I let my attorney to smooth talk
241
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.480
to me into saying, well, I got you within the guidelines.
242
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.679
You know, twenty four months. You know it is a
243
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:30.600
good deal. Take it.
