	Hi guys, welcome to the Babylon Bee podcast.
	I'm Jared LeMaster.
	I'm here with Siaka Masiqua.
	He has, you may recognize him from a lot of the sketches that we've done over the last couple of years since I've been here, including California's move to Texas, the one that everybody loves.
	We are going to talk about his situation right now.
	He was arrested last week by the FBI.
	And we are going to talk about the raid on his house.
	We're going to talk about January 6th.
	And we're going to talk about the ongoing stuff that's going on with you.
	By the way, thank you for being here.
	Dude, thank you for having me.
	Thank you.
	This is your house.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Should we even let people know that?
	Well, yeah, we can because I've filmed enough in here that they're going to do anything at this point.
	This is a really nice table.
	You guys have nice tables.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, we believe that tables are the beginning of any strong home.
	We got to have strong tables.
	I agree with that because most of the stuff happens around a table.
	It does.
	I agree with you.
	Eating, talking, fighting, you know, like this.
	It all happens.
	And this is oak.
	So like you like the solid family.
	Like roots.
	Like the Lord.
	I love it.
	Well, listen, I want to get serious.
	Okay.
	So it's really hard for people like us.
	You know, we just get profiled for the way we look.
	I think, you know, there's a system that's in place that really is prejudice against guys like us.
	You know, it's like it's keeping us, keeping opportunities down for people like us.
	You know, the struggle's real.
	Yo, it is.
	It is.
	Even my mom doesn't understand how the struggle is.
	No, because, you know, obviously, I'll give you a hint.
	The word starts with B.
	Yeah.
	And it's bald.
	I was going to say, I can't grow my hair past this either.
	So it sucks.
	It's really hard for people like I get it.
	I get it.
	You know, that's why usually I go all clean.
	And then I can go audition for the Black Mr. Clean.
	You know, they're such a race swaps happening a lot now.
	So my opportunity has opened it up a lot more than it did before.
	So you were arrested, though, for real.
	Oh, yeah.
	You were arrested recently.
	Fun stuff.
	Let's get into the.
	Let's get the good stuff.
	Okay, yeah.
	No, you told me some of the story and there's some pretty good stuff in here.
	So you were arrested like two weeks ago.
	Like now.
	No, a week ago.
	A week ago.
	Yesterday.
	Okay.
	So wow.
	Yeah.
	You were charged with four misdemeanors.
	Including parading, which is I don't know what that means, but it's good.
	I always hated parades, so I don't know.
	That's why they charged me.
	They hated paradox.
	We have a different administration.
	They're more on your side with the idea of parades.
	That's good.
	So, but it all had to do with January 6th.
	And can you just tell us the story of your arrest?
	How it happened?
	You know, did you get word ahead of time?
	Was it a surprise?
	Like, there's a lot of, so tell me.
	Yeah.
	You know, first, thank you for being here.
	I think it was important for us to kind of get this story out.
	Understand, like people see me working with you guys in the B.
	I love you guys for everyone, the crew that's all around here.
	can't see you jared seth um and and having this conversation we it's a serious thing that's happening in a sense in our in my life and the life of my wife and our family but But I think this, this is to show like God's grace is real.
	And we have to still have that, we have to still have that light, you know, in our heart that the Lord gives us.
	And for us, we like to be a little humorous.
	So we are here doing that.
	And it was, so yeah, when it comes down to arrests, which happened.
	So you're saying it was actually very funny.
	I'm saying it will be funny in the future.
	We'll come back on this.
	We'll go, remember that time, the FBI arrested me.
	They ripped me away from my pregnant wife.
	That was funny.
	We can laugh about it.
	We can laugh about it.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, a few things happened.
	We were coming back from the Daily Wire premiere of Lady Ballers, right?
	Check it out on Daily Wire Plus.
	And which is a comedy, one of those original comedies or a comedy feel you have from the early or late 90s, early 2000s.
	And we had an amazing time there.
	We met with everyone from Jeremy to Seth was out there to Ben Shapiro giving us child advice, baby advice.
	It was really funny.
	But we're flying back and we land, we're at Burbeck Airport.
	And if anyone been to Burbeck Airport, you see when you land, you come out on a tarmac.
	It's not like most airports where you go right through the, what did they call that?
	The chute.
	The chute.
	That's what I call it.
	They throw you down through the chute.
	So this was right on the tarmac.
	Yeah, which is always, I always like that hallway.
	I feel like you're coming out into a new world, but that's a whole other thing.
	So true.
	So we're coming down off the airplane and I see some people kind of at the base.
	There was this woman and I see a couple other cops and they're just standing there.
	She's, she's like looking at me, but like looking at the entrance.
	So you kind of don't know if it's you.
	And I do see kind of they're wearing some, but I don't really notice them because you're tired.
	You've been flying for four and a half hours straight.
	I'm wearing the same clothes actually for on purpose that I wore to head there because I was wearing this shirt that had Jesus saves on the back.
	And part of the reason why I wear it is because last time when I told you guys after that's really why they arrested you, I mean, it didn't hurt, right?
	But I told you guys about the raid.
	Ever since then, every time I fly, I get extra scrutiny at the airport so that I have to go 45 minutes at the front desk, have to get about 30 plus minutes getting searched, pat it down.
	Well, and anyone that travels with you has to do that.
	Everybody.
	Anyone?
	Because unfortunately, Chandler had to face that when we went down to Bath to Be Live.
	And it's crazy.
	What happens is that they go through all your stuff.
	But here's the fun part.
	Then you head over to the gate and they do the same thing at the gate as well.
	So you do it at the TSA security.
	You go to your gate thinking it's over and they come and do it there.
	So what I wanted to do in wearing that shirt and I start to wear stuff that talks about God a lot when I go to the airport.
	That's good.
	Because I'm like, if they're going to stop me and I'm going to get searched, people are going to be seeing Jesus' name.
	Like I want everyone to see like, oh, Jesus, yeah, they're doing it.
	You know, I kind of want it to be.
	Did you do strip searches?
	Not yet.
	So get some tattoos on there.
	No, I wouldn't do tattoos.
	There's nothing, but I will wear, I'll maybe do some henna.
	But they do that.
	And so I was coming down the escalator, or the escalator, not like Trump, but I was coming down the exit and the staircase.
	And so she comes up in front of me and Charlotte's in front of me and our friend Amber's there, who is in the movie as well.
	They're in front.
	And as I come down, I'm walking towards Charlotte.
	She jumps in front.
	She goes, Siaka Mascula.
	I'm like, yeah, she goes, FBI, please come with us.
	I'm like, what?
	Two guys, boom, right on either side of me.
	Like, sir, you got to come with us.
	You're under arrest.
	Let's go.
	I was like, for what?
	Guys, like, you know what for?
	I'm like, no, what am I under arrest for?
	Because it's like, tell me, you're going to come take me away from my family.
	At least she had to give, you know, at least the guts to say what it is.
	And he's like, it's, you know, it's related to January 6th.
	I was like, I didn't do anything wrong on January 6th.
	The guy over here next to me goes, stop talking.
	He's like, stop talking about it.
	And I go, he brought it up.
	You know, like, I didn't do it.
	Wait, the FBI agent was saying, don't.
	Yeah.
	He didn't want it out loud because he goes, look.
	And one guy's, look, we're not trying to embarrass you.
	Here I go, it's too late.
	Yeah, we're just trying to play.
	We're trying to arrest you without embarrassing.
	Yeah, without embarrassing you.
	And to be fair, as fair as possible, like they weren't going out their way to be, you know, antagonistic about it.
	Yeah, they weren't trying to be jerks.
	They weren't being like, you were, you know, hey, you're your insurrectionist, shut up and get in the car.
	They weren't doing anything like that.
	They were very reasonable.
	Like, it's a rock and a hard place because they're called to do a job.
	And I'm not giving them a pass for just doing my job.
	Please don't get it mixed in that sense.
	Yeah, we've heard that.
	But it was like, but they were doing that and they were being cool in a way where they were talking to me.
	And I go, look, I'm not crazy to do anything stupid.
	There's four of you here with guns.
	There's four police officers around you with guns.
	I got a pregnant wife here.
	I'm not going to do anything, but I'm pissed and I can be angry.
	And I'm going to speak angry because I'm pissed.
	This is nuts.
	Like you guys, I'm like, you guys didn't have to do it like this.
	You could have called me.
	I would have come in and taken care of this.
	Why?
	Yeah.
	Because I know you've been watching me for two years.
	So you said that you said this.
	Yes.
	You said you could have called me.
	Did you guys make all the theatrics?
	Like, what's with the theatrics?
	And there was no answer, of course, at the time.
	Again, I'll give credit because when they cuffed me and they walked me over to the side and I looked over and Charlotte's over there, they gave her all my stuff so that Charlotte could, you know, take it with her.
	And then we got in the car before we got in the car.
	They're like, hey, man, let's make sure the cuffs are okay.
	How they treated me there is probably the best that could happen of someone being arrested.
	All right.
	We get in the car and I kept repeating.
	I go, you guys could have called me, but I know why you did it.
	You did it just like because of the raid.
	You wanted my name to go through the mud, just like you had Netflix actor raided.
	And everyone goes, oh, it's a big problem.
	It's the same thing here, which sucks because I didn't do anything wrong.
	And you could have called me.
	And one of the agents turns, he goes, because I had repeated, you could have called me a few times.
	And he's like, he's like, come on, man.
	He goes, okay, let me ask you, seriously, if we called you, would you have come in?
	I go, yes.
	I'm first vice chair of the LA County, the largest county in the country.
	My wife is pregnant.
	We've been living in the same house for eight years.
	Where am I going to go?
	Of course I would have called.
	I would have came in.
	And so, and again, and then I go, but I know why you're doing this.
	You're doing this for this.
	You're doing it for the show.
	And I was like, that's the mess up part.
	And this is before I knew these are misdemeanors.
	So at this point, I'm, you know, from being arrested on a tarmac to being in the car driving down to Monterey Park, I don't know that they're misdemeanors at this point.
	Yeah.
	I thought that there's stuff that it could be, you know, oh, constitutionally, don't they have to tell you what they're arresting you for?
	I thought so as well.
	And so I'm to share with the audience.
	If the FBI technically doesn't, if they're investigating you.
	So if they've been investigating you and there's an open file, so when they came in and raided, now I'm connected to an overall investigation.
	They don't then have to move and go, we're arresting you for this thing.
	They go, we got you.
	Have enough checks and balances, bro.
	Tell me about it, man.
	I mean, it's to see this and I know a lot of the story which kind of is interesting and we'll get into it.
	But it's like people and and man will do so many different things, but God always has it written out a certain way.
	And to have the story come out the same time with the two arsonists that burned down the Wendy's and only got 500 fine, they happened to be a black man and a white woman.
	And compared to me and Charlotte, or Charlotte and I, who happen to be black man and white woman, and how they treat it, you see so clearly this day the difference.
	And we wouldn't get, even get, that same comparison if it didn't happen right now, at this time, at this moment.
	We as a, as a, as a community, as a world, wouldn't have gotten a chance just to see, look what, how they're treating people.
	They're not playing.
	Justice is fair right now.
	They're not.
	Justice isn't blind to them.
	It's very, very clear who they're siding with.
	So you know um, as crazy as all this has been um, even from that moment of coming off and Amber being with Charlotte right, so Amber ended up staying with Charlotte, they ended up hanging out.
	Well, what happened was the night before we I talked to Jennifer and Tatum Shank friends, good friends of ours, who you know, Tatum's doing the pilot with you guys and we started Hollywood FOR Freedom our, our non-profit Hollywood FOR Freedom and and we just had, we just had our mingle and jingle and um, I had called them up to come and we're supposed to, you know, exchange some stuff for our event that was coming up.
	So it worked out, instead of taking an uber, they were going to come and pick us up.
	That's cool.
	So if this was going to happen and I was going to get separated from my wife, she was going to technically be standing there by herself and taking an uber to get home by herself.
	A pregnant wife, pregnant wife at 24 weeks.
	And you think these guys know everything about you.
	That's the other piece about that.
	That's really frustrating.
	They know everything about you.
	They know what color your toilet paper is, yeah and so.
	And then, when you get off the plane, and they know your wife's with you and they know that she's gonna have to drive home alone, it's like it wasn't.
	It was about the spectacle, which that's what the spectacle for misdemeanors is what it, for me, is what I think it should really upset everyone.
	Yeah, because look at the spectacle, look at how much, because they don't like what you think and who you support that they will put on this spectacle and and thank, thank the lord, Charlotte is who she is and she's as strong as she is, because can you imagine anyone else, if they're in this point of pregnancy, what that could have done to them?
	Oh I, I was thinking about that with my wife, like I don't, I don't know, I don't know how Christina would have handled that, that you know it was again and, and she's a very strong woman, but but it would be very difficult to go through this.
	Well, and they, they had, I found out, the arrest warrant was issued november 15th oh, so they could have done it anytime.
	They waited till the point of highest drama to do it and which again, these people are so just quit and be actors like that's what they said, that's that's it.
	Just just be like it's just quitting it done.
	And this is, let's look at and i'll show this, and I haven't shared this with anyone yet.
	Uh um, God's orchestration.
	Charlotte, later on, we'll get to it when she was in the courtroom.
	She sat there when we're doing our bond hearing and she said, Oh, this is what I was prepared for.
	So, back in high school, she was, she dated as a kid whose mom was on the run from the FBI.
	She was on the lamb.
	She was on the lamb.
	Yes.
	And so they would, the FBI would come and talk to her all the time.
	No way.
	Yeah.
	So she was used to like them, the government, in a sense, questioning her.
	Just as a side note, why was she on the run for?
	I don't know.
	No, no, no.
	It wasn't Charlotte's mom.
	It was her boyfriend's mother.
	It was her boyfriend.
	So her boyfriend's mom.
	And so they would always question her too.
	So she sat there and was like, oh, I see.
	So the fact that she was even, that happened to her so early that now the husband that she has has to enter and she could be prepared for it.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	So you use the Lord prepared her.
	Oh, I mean, the Lord prepared me.
	He does that stuff.
	It's so wild.
	And so when she was from the moment, you know, we were separated, Amber was there with her, walked her to the car where Jennifer and Tatum were, who were like close family friends, took her back home and they stayed with her.
	Good.
	So basically, from the moment in what they tried to do to separate her and have her alone freaking out and me alone freaking out, I was with Lord in jail.
	She was with friends and family.
	So she never was by herself.
	She had somebody with her every moment until I got back.
	But I like how you said that to you.
	I was with the Lord in jail.
	Oh, man.
	No, it wasn't.
	I wasn't alone either.
	No, so I started, you're like this.
	I start talking to the officers about God.
	I love you.
	Of course you did.
	I just started getting into it.
	I go, you guys.
	Like Roman soldiers are good.
	You heard about my Jesus.
	Yeah, because he's, I know you're locked up now.
	That's why I'm telling somebody to pray.
	I know you're locked up now, but with God, you'll be free.
	That's right.
	And so I start talking to the agents about it.
	And one agent, she's like, no, no, I'm not really into that.
	And the other guy's like, oh, I'm Catholic.
	I'm like, oh, okay.
	So are you like a real Catholic or have you read the Bible?
	And he goes, he goes, oh, come on, man.
	I was like, have you read the Bible?
	He goes, no.
	I go, well, then there you go.
	Does that mean he's a real Catholic if he hasn't read the Bible?
	Is that what you just said?
	I mean, we'll leave it to that.
	Yeah, we do like the Catholics.
	Yeah, just read your Bible.
	That's all I'm trying to say.
	I have to help you to read the Bible.
	And so we start talking.
	I always like to get people to go read Romans 1.
	And if you don't, if you think it's crazy, then you can walk away.
	But you'll see we're in this time right now.
	Then we go through and they.
	Romans 1 is a pretty harsh place to start.
	But if you look at our world right now, it's also going, wait a minute.
	They exchange the truth of the God for a lie.
	Right.
	And it's like knowingly.
	And they keep going.
	They exchange your nature for something that's unnatural.
	And then that's celebrated.
	One of the things they turn into is they focus on pride.
	Oh, man, we have a whole month that wants to turn into a year now, right?
	So we get to Monterey Park and I'm talking to the agents about the Lord.
	And then I get booked.
	They put me in the orange jumpsuit.
	And I go into the cell by myself.
	There's only one other person.
	He's hammered drunk in the holding cell.
	So they leave him on that side.
	So they put me in into that overnight cell.
	Now, is this okay?
	An overnight cell.
	It's not a federal prison.
	No, no, no.
	This is where they put the drunk tank.
	Yeah, this is just innocent jail.
	This is an initial holding.
	Gen pop.
	Not yet.
	As I learned with my time.
	Oh, yeah.
	Was it your time watching Haas on HBO or whatever?
	I watched a lot of TV.
	Okay, fair enough.
	Gen pop.
	So I'm in there and I start doing a little workout because I want to get tired so I can just pass out.
	And then when I'm done, I just, I turn and I get on my knees and I started doing the Lord's Prayer over and over and over as loud as I could.
	Good, dude.
	Loud enough where I'm here, right?
	I'm not like out here screaming out loud, but I'm here, but I'm just, I'm being vocal.
	And there's a door that you can close to get into the jail set.
	And I hear the one lady who's like working the whole night, she closes it.
	I'm like, all right, fair enough.
	It's like enough of that.
	Yeah, enough of that guy.
	And so I keep going.
	And I finally get kind of a little tired and I lay down and she comes in.
	She's like, hey, do you want, you know, to read a book or anything?
	I go, yeah.
	If you have a Bible, that'd be great.
	She goes, I don't think we have a Bible, but I'll look.
	Yeah.
	She comes back.
	She's like, We had a Bible.
	We had a Bible.
	Yeah, so I'm great.
	We have 50 Shades of Gray.
	But I'll take the Lord's word instead.
	And so she hands me the Bible.
	And when I said God was with me, literally that night I fell asleep with the Bible in my hand.
	That's great.
	And it's in.
	What did you read?
	I was reading 2 Kings.
	I had to finish up 2 Kings.
	So I had to get in there.
	Yeah, I got a, I'm a little behind in class.
	So I got 2 Kings.
	Yeah, so I wanted to get into getting into 2 Kings.
	And so the next morning they came and they picked me up.
	And the agents had to take me over to, because there's a whole processing thing that take me to the Marshalls.
	So I get back into my clothes, which included that Jesus saved shirt, sweatpants.
	But as they're going, everything, you're getting cuffed every time.
	You're not just walking around.
	So you're cuffed.
	Take me to the Marshalls.
	You know, I'm complaining, of course, like this is crazy.
	You could have still called me.
	Like, it's just repeating the same things.
	And at one point, we're waiting, and I just kind of laughed.
	I go, I go, the crazy thing is, there's some cowardly stuff here.
	I'm like, instead of winning because their ideas are right, they're going to lock you up because they don't like what you believe and what you're mentioning, you know, verbally.
	So you're saying this to the Marshals.
	You're saying.
	No, I'm saying it's the FBI.
	To the FBI.
	Because we're waiting.
	FBI.
	You know, you guys are a bunch of.
	No, not you guys are.
	I was just like, this whole thing is cowardly moves.
	Yellow.
	Because like, again, and not to, you know, the agents who are there, they have a decision to make, but the overall act of what's going on to raid someone's house, watch them for two years, harass them at the airport the whole time to then come to a point where you take them away from their wife, you lock them up for a night, wanting them to stay off for the whole weekend because I'll get into that for four misdemeanors.
	But ultimately, because we're out here saying, like, it's not bad to love your country and I support Trump and I support America first.
	And they're like, no, we got to lock you up.
	And Jesus is God.
	No, we got to lock you.
	It's like, that's cowardly, guys.
	Men are not women.
	Yeah.
	That's cowardly at the end of the day.
	Right.
	Like, you know, the First Amendment, like, it tells them this is our guy given right.
	Not right.
	Let's see, you get a chance to exercise that if you espouse these rules here.
	No, you get a right to speak it however you want.
	And if you happen to get popular over it, that's just the way it goes.
	But that's the way authoritarians are, though.
	They are cowards.
	That was my point too.
	Because their entire power structure is based on them exerting that power because they don't have good ideas.
	Yes.
	And I even told them, I said to them, I go, I hope, I go, I hope you guys stay on the winning side to the agents.
	I go, I hope you stay on the winning side because that side of history.
	I go, because it sucks being on the other side and having to go through something like this because of what you think.
	Yeah.
	It was very, because, again, I want to point out, like, it's not about the individuals that were sitting here, right?
	Like, like we talked about in Ephesians 6, it's not about flesh and blood.
	It's about the principalities.
	So I wanted to point out, I was like, you guys, this whole thing is cowardly stuff.
	I hope you stay on this side because if you're on that side of things, you don't have to deal with being on the other side where people come at you in that way because of your ideas.
	Well, you know, it's interesting because not all the FBI, I like you.
	I like you making this point because not all the FBI agents are a bunch of jerks.
	They're not all totalitarians.
	I think it's important to make that clear.
	I think the upper echelon leadership is probably in that space.
	But I would say, because we've mocked the FBI together like a lot.
	Like the two of us play FBI all the time.
	We play FBI agents all the time.
	And we've done it.
	We make fun of them all the time.
	With My Pillows Patented, Adjustable, Phil, Stay Cool Technology and Fluffy Design that will not go flat.
	No matter how many Trump supporters, I beat it.
	Where were you on January 6th?
	Come on!
	You want me to do it again?
	I'll hit you again.
	Is that what you want?
	Go ahead.
	It's so comfortable.
	Are you going to the BTA meeting tonight?
	Absolutely.
	I can't believe they put critical race theory in an algebra book.
	Bingo sounds like a cup of ultra MAGA domestic terrorists to me.
	Hi, my name's Joe, and I was wrongfully incarcerated by the United States government for mostly peaceful protests.
	And we did one in particular where it's the My Pillow commercial and beating you with a My Pillow.
	Yeah, it was the initial raid.
	It was like, let's get him in here.
	And it was funny because that's how it worked for me.
	And Mike Lindell had just been, you know, just been kind of like raided to.
	And so we wanted to make fun of the FBI and we did it.
	We got a lot of comments from FBI agents that were like, we're so glad you guys are making fun of the FBI right now because we hate it too.
	Well, there are those good people.
	And that's the thing.
	I've heard from former agents and current, well, okay, I won't say current because they're watching.
	They probably know anyway, but former agents who were just like, they don't recognize the FBI that they left or that they loved.
	They don't recognize it.
	So, and I'll say again, those two agents, they were fine.
	We were talking, chatting.
	Like, you know, they helped me out as best they can to make me as comfortable as I could be in that situation, right?
	So again, for that, that's not what it's about.
	It's about this overall idea of your free thoughts and expression.
	It's why our country was founded.
	It's why my mom left where she was to come to America and raise her kids here.
	Where was she?
	She was in Liberia, West Africa.
	And the crazy thing about it is that, you know, when I finally got out, I was able to talk to my mom.
	She told me last year, and she didn't want to tell me this and didn't let me know until for some reason it came to her.
	She goes, so she lost her dad at 12.
	And her dad, my grandfather, was the main pastor at the main church of Liberia, Providence Church.
	Back in the day when she was that age, the government would arrest and take out party opposition leaders.
	Went to him and told him, hey, we need you to stop talking about politics from the pulpit.
	He said no.
	My mom lost her dad in a car accident when she was 12.
	And so now.
	You say like a car accident, right?
	Yep.
	Okay.
	And so now, let's fast forward.
	And she did her best to get her children away from even the idea of something like that happening.
	Right.
	And now her son for his ideas.
	So, you know, she left one country where her dad was focused and attacked by the government to move over here in a place where it's not supposed to happen.
	Now her sons, her son, is targeted by the government for his ideas.
	For his ideas.
	Not even for any kind of violence or doing anything or even calling people to do violence.
	Like I haven't never called anyone.
	No, of course not.
	So the fact that it's, and I said this at church the other day, and I'll say this here in this interview, my mom's not a believer, but, you know, everyone, anyone watching, if you can pray for her, just for, I don't, I don't know how, I don't know where that mind can be.
	You know, you saw something happen to your father and now it's happening to your son in a certain way.
	So prayers can do wonders, you know, and I've seen it in my life.
	So if we can just put that out there for her, that's like very important for me.
	Yeah.
	Because it sucks.
	You know, it sucks that, and I know she feels helpless now.
	So yeah, it's wild to see that this is what's happening in this country now based on ideas.
	Yeah.
	Like if I had beaten the crap out of somebody and shook, hung them upside down, whatever it was, you got me.
	Now, it is true.
	It's about the ideology that you, but also, did you go into the Capitol building?
	I stepped foot into the archway.
	In the video, we've counted 71 seconds.
	So yes, I did.
	Yeah.
	So we stepped foot into the archway.
	So, but we know that it's really about the ideas, but they're kind of using the fact that you crossed the threshold and saying that that's really the problem that you crossed the threshold.
	Well, they're adding that into there's a probable cause.
	There's a probable cause.
	And there's videos out there.
	Dude, but there were billions of people crossing it.
	You were like one of the way I look at it is it's a sting, sting operation.
	It's because you have a high profile, I mean, higher profile than other folks.
	And then you have, it's the idea of entrapment as far as the way I look at it.
	At that doorway.
	Oh, yeah.
	I was there.
	First of all, I got there an hour after everything happened.
	Why did I go there?
	It wasn't because Trump said, Mark, go march in the Capitol peacefully and have your voices heard, which he said multiple times.
	It's because I went back to the hotel room, which is by Freedom Plaza, which is about a 20-minute walk from the Washington Monument.
	Hang out in there.
	I turn on the TV to see what the news would be saying about this.
	We're coming from walking and singing with a bunch of people and go, well, let's see what the news is going to say about this.
	What were you singing?
	I forget.
	I have to look into it.
	That's the one.
	Oh, my goodness.
	How do you know?
	And so I turned on the TV and it was MSNBC and this reporter was like, it's a somber moment.
	There were shots fired.
	We thought blood on it.
	And I'm like, they're lying because they've been lying the entire time Trump has been elected.
	It's probably not more.
	I just didn't pay attention.
	And so I was there.
	And so then I put my boots on.
	I'm like, I'm going to go down and I'm going to tell them I'm going to find that camera person to stand behind them and saying they're full of it, right?
	They're lying.
	That's why I went to the Capitol.
	So I went to DC for the speech and then I was done.
	Why?
	Because since 2020 of June, I've been going to rallies over and over up until the election and after and through 21.
	So I was going to enough rallies where in this moment, I was like, I get it.
	I'm not going to just go there and be like, da, It's like, they're going to do what they're going to do, regardless if I'm screaming right there or not.
	And it was cold and I was like, I'm just going to go home.
	Then I put on my boots and I walked down to the Capitol.
	Everyone can Google it right now from the JW Marriott to the Capitol.
	It's 20, they say 27 minute walk.
	So it took me at least a half hour because I wasn't running.
	So by the time I got there, it was an hour after.
	This point, no one's talking about storming anything.
	No one's talking about any of this stuff going on.
	So I get there and the mood is just really chill.
	I run into some friends that I knew from Beverly Hills.
	We do a little interview with someone.
	There's a scaffold.
	I had the American flag there.
	In the middle of our interview, they start singing the national anthem.
	We stop to sing the national anthem or go up to go walk up the top and I'm like walking around.
	I'm videoing all this stuff.
	You see some broken glass.
	People are kind of just making their statements, basically stuff you've seen in different rallies outside of the violence that happened.
	There's outside of the stuff that was broken, I should say.
	And so there was one point I saw before I got closer to the actual building.
	It was right on the steps.
	I saw men grabbing other men and trying to push them, going, let's go and trying to push them to go forward, which was something that I noticed because at the Beverly Hills rally, we had issues with Antifa when we had Antifa come in a big group and we were on one side and the cops put stanchions here.
	The kids we saw who were part of Antifa two weeks earlier were standing on our side wearing MAGA stuff yelling at Antifa.
	And I go, they're trying to get the crowd worked up.
	Just like I saw these guys grabbing men and going, come on, trying to push them forward.
	And I'm thinking to myself.
	So these are all hired Antifa guns.
	Point.
	I'm just saying what it reckoned.
	I'm just saying what it looked like, because I saw something like that before.
	What I can claim, what it is exactly, I don't know, but I know it's cowardice, because men, real men go follow me.
	They don't push someone else in front and go, go in there.
	You know what I mean.
	And that was the difference.
	That's why i'm sitting there and I saw it happen two different times.
	But anyway, i'm walking around, I get to the door, i'm rambling, i'm like this is, this is why people come here, because it's a free country.
	And we're going towards that doorway and in there they're saying, I even talked to somebody, I have us all on video.
	I go, what's going on?
	Oh, they're letting us in over here.
	Who's letting us in over here?
	They meaning the people who are opening the door police, like it's.
	If someone says they're letting us in over here, how do I knowingly know that's a trespass?
	And then people were walking in and we're shuffling in, like we're going to a football game, like it's college football saturday, and everyone's just kind of shuffling in.
	I'm like oh okay, and we get right to the front door and then they stop us where i'm in there, and then they stop us and you'll see, even on what they have as a piece of evidence.
	You see my arm outstretched, like i'm obviously stopped, and looking here and the cops are standing there.
	I talked to one cop and i'm like, oh yeah, i'm like hey, I heard they got on Pelosi's desk.
	Is that tree goes?
	I don't know.
	I was like man, it's crazy.
	Then I turn this way and the guys, some guy comes up, he's full of ride gear.
	He's like I need you guys go back the other way.
	All right, we're gonna do it.
	Fine, you see, we're being reasonable.
	Great, hey guys, let's go.
	So again, how am I knowingly trespassing is when someone, as soon as anyone with authority, said you need to leave.
	Not only did I do that, but I also directed others to do that.
	But you and everybody else exactly, there was no crazy guy.
	That was like no way.
	Yeah, down with the authoritarian left.
	Not that you know like right, not that we saw that, not when I was there, and not, you know, outside of the those the little bit of footage they've shown of some people fighting back and a lot of that stuff was in bottleneck and people getting in that crowd and getting tight and then one side hitting another side defending themselves.
	You know, we've seen video now where a peaceful crowd standing there and then gets shot with pepper, pepper pellets in there.
	Why are you doing this?
	So there was there was an attempt to rile people up and get people in a certain place.
	The other reason why I know it was something else happening, because i've been to Dc twice at this point with other Uh patriots.
	I've been here in Los Angeles and Southern Cal at these different rallies.
	We're never the ones to start violence.
	We're never the ones to go looking for violence.
	It's always coming over.
	And defense.
	So this didn't make sense.
	Just from that, just from my own year experience yeah, of like, wait a second, what?
	And again, at that point there was no, they stormed anything.
	It was people were there.
	There was no idea of a storming going on.
	It was more like a mosey, more of a shuffle.
	I was, like you said shuffle motion, less of a storm and more of a mosey, more of a and.
	And so then I came back out.
	Right, I go to this window which now now, when I look back at the video, it was the window, infamous one they show where people were throwing the uh flags in there and i'm looking over and i'm recording man, this is crazy.
	And I see one guy he's a police officer who got hit in the head with a uh um they, they threw back their uh pepper spray canister, so they threw it back and it hit this guy on his head and one of the cops.
	And you hear me.
	I go hey man, are you okay?
	I saw them do that to you.
	That's not cool.
	And then while i'm talking to him here, you see all the police just hanging out inside chilling again.
	Nobody's indicating to me, get out of here.
	You need to get out.
	You need to leave.
	There's no signs anywhere that says restricted.
	Get out.
	You need to leave.
	Nothing.
	Was that police officer that you spoke with?
	Was he pretty rational?
	And you were just saying that?
	He was, I mean, he had his mask on.
	He didn't really verbally respond.
	He was just like, he just shrugged.
	I was like, hey, I remember I said, so I heard there's a curfew going on tonight, right?
	Like six.
	He goes, I go, who's going to enforce that?
	And he kind of just shrugs again.
	And I crack a joke.
	You know, I go, I go, not you.
	Clock on the wall says you're done, huh?
	He's like, and I'm like, all right, laugh.
	And I walk away.
	And that was my experience at the Capitol in that, you know, in that setting.
	And then you walked away, you went home.
	I walked away and I was walking around to see the last few of everything that was going around the building.
	So I'm by the steps, right?
	Run into some people that I saw either online or I knew from Beverly Hills thing.
	What's up?
	Yeah.
	And then I turned and left.
	And when I left, I was walking down the street with people and I looked over to my right and I see cars that were parked.
	And I start chuckling.
	And people, I was like, you know what's funny?
	If this was a BLM ride, all these cars would be burning right now.
	And we saw no violence happen or nothing happened towards anything outside of what people, I guess, pointed their iron to, which was the Capitol, you know, and all that.
	Went home, didn't think anything of it.
	And, you know, we fast forward and my house is being raided fast forward and I'm being arrested.
	That's crazy.
	So really, this is all about curiosity.
	Like you came back because you were curious.
	Well, I came back initially to go tell MSNBC that they were lying.
	And then I stayed there because I was like, whoa, whoa, I can't believe.
	Whoa, look what's going on.
	There's something about it that's historical too.
	I think I would, I would have done the same thing.
	Like I would have gone back in.
	I would have been interested.
	Especially when there was no indication.
	It's just like, man, what's going on here?
	But there's no indication like stop.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	It's like the doors.
	The doors are wide open.
	And nobody's telling you to stop.
	Everyone's chilling out.
	And as soon as they do, you do.
	And you turn to go anywhere.
	Some guy's like, get out of here.
	But everything was like, people were just moving around.
	Even the riot gear guys who were outside were just standing there.
	They weren't like.
	And you weren't even dressed like a buffalo or anything.
	I was dressed like a MAGA, though.
	So that's, you know, that's one of the most dangerous people.
	How can you be a MAGA?
	Just got to wear the hat.
	Okay.
	That's it.
	The hat is.
	I'm surprised that they've come after you now.
	The DOJ, you know, because you're a Democrat, right?
	Aren't you?
	What?
	No, I lost that.
	I lost that when I didn't vote for Joe.
	Remember?
	Oh, that's right.
	You're not black.
	I'm not black either.
	So please don't.
	That's it.
	Please don't.
	You got to fill out the senses properly.
	Don't do that again.
	That's so interesting.
	Now, and you've worked with us.
	Do you think the Babylon B is under scrutiny?
	Yes.
	You do?
	But I think all conservative is, you know, like any conservative media?
	Yes.
	I don't think it has anything to do with necessarily me being a part of it.
	I think all conservative, anything that wants to make a noise, wants to be loud about it.
	It's being watched and being monitored.
	I mean, unfortunately, that's just kind of how our intelligence agency has worked.
	And it goes all the way back to now the Patriot Act opening that door, you know?
	Yeah.
	So now we're sitting up there.
	So whoever's in charge is probably spying on the opposite side.
	No.
	So even when we're in charge, when the conservatives are in charge, we're probably spying on them.
	I mean, when have you seen government give up the powers they have?
	Willingly?
	When do you see them passing?
	George Washington.
	And that was the first.
	Was that the first and last time?
	That was the first and last time that we saw people willingly go, you know what?
	All right, we're going to do it.
	I mean, yeah, we have an election that goes through that process.
	But we saw after Trump was elected for four years, it was a fraudulent election.
	And we saw what just happened recently.
	We've been going through an issue here in this country, and we have to get back to actually having conversations with each other and not letting the news media dictate how we talk to each other.
	Yeah, I wish there would get people in there that would stop just playing it up and playing for theater.
	Well, part of it, I'll tell you like this, and this is what they wrote in the article after the raid.
	Part of it is we, us good men here, and what men and women here, we need to be the ones running the show.
	Like to rely on those coming from places like Harvard and Yale, which are okay with people screaming genocide to Jews today, and then expect them to do the right things when they're in the office for you and my family.
	Like they don't have that, they don't have the same thought process or brain synapses to cater to what we want.
	So why should we then expect them to?
	I know.
	That was the weirdest story from last week, I think, where the heads of the Ivy League wouldn't say that calling for the genocide of Jews was bad.
	They didn't even say it.
	But that tells you a lot of those Ivy Leagues, they produce the lawyers.
	They produce the people that then go out and write the laws.
	Yeah, they produce their activists.
	They produce activists.
	So now we're the ones sitting there going, I hope this turns into a better thing.
	But then those that are tasked to make sure that we're safe tend to then be those same characters that actually want to take us out and don't care.
	That's one thing I always say.
	I'm like, where's Black Lives Matter when I got the man directly after me ripping away from my family?
	I didn't see anybody.
	I didn't see any marches up in front.
	But when you kill a criminal for putting a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach, then he gets five funerals and a golden casket.
	Like, what are we talking about?
	You're telling us what type of, like, as a black person, this is how you should move.
	You're telling us as a white person, this is how you're supposed to see black people.
	That's right.
	Like, think about that.
	That's right.
	People can literally burn down Wendy's and get a fine for $500.
	That's just culture.
	You're burning down Wendy's.
	It's a culture.
	That's a cult.
	Don't worry about that.
	That's not justifiable because they've been oppressed.
	It's interesting.
	It's with the Palestinians right now, too.
	Well, it's the same group.
	It's the same group.
	I wouldn't say Palestinians.
	I would say Hamas.
	Hamas.
	You should say Hamas because these people don't understand they're chairing for what Hamas is about.
	They don't get it.
	They get it.
	And so, you know, we are.
	You know what's weird?
	This is something I heard last week about Hamas.
	This is a side note.
	But I heard that the word that the word for evil is Hamas in Hebrew.
	It's the word for when God looked down on earth and saw that the world was evil.
	Yeah, right.
	When he was talking about in Genesis, in Genesis with Noah.
	The word is he looked down and he saw that the world was Hamas.
	Which is interesting.
	I tell you what his judgment fell.
	Words matter.
	And when we live in this world right now where they're trying to flip words on his head and ideas and understanding of a definition of words, it's for a reason.
	The Revelation talks about the great deception.
	You think it's just going to be some guy lying to you?
	Or maybe it will be words also being shifted literally in our dictionaries as we speak.
	Well, we serve a God who cares very much about words.
	And he really cares about his own name.
	So he keeps giving us names.
	He's like, I'm very specific about this.
	This is my name.
	Use my name.
	Don't use someone else's.
	Don't use my name in vain.
	you know he's very much about like words and names and so you see how yeah he cares about definitions of things We can call him the leftists or whoever.
	I like personally called the godless because the godless doesn't know one political side or the other, right?
	The godless is everywhere in culture.
	That's right.
	But we see the godless wanting to ban such things as Jesus or the Bible.
	They want to ban.
	It tells me that's more true.
	Because again, if your ideas are good, the idea can live on its own.
	You don't need to stranglehold everything else that comes into play because your idea is good.
	You win out on that and they know it'll never win.
	It'll never win out on that.
	And we need to, as Christians, we have to be Isaiah 1-9.
	We have to, or Joshua 1-9, sorry.
	We have to be bold and courageous.
	Strong.
	With us.
	We have to.
	Why do we wait?
	Why do we want to be quiet and separate politics from a religion?
	No, how I raise my children is so they go out in the world and be better in the world.
	Then that's how they should.
	That's how they're gonna vote, how they're gonna treat your kids, how they're gonna treat others.
	Yeah, why do we then go?
	No, separate that that's a big trap.
	Don't separate it.
	Be louder about your faith, lean into it.
	This is the.
	It's funny because my last, my last two questions.
	One of them was that, what is the Christian perspective on this?
	And I think we're already getting into it.
	Naturally, because the Christian perspective is to be bold and to live who you really are, and I love that.
	I think what you're saying is really true.
	I said that to somebody, I think yesterday, because they were like we got to like try to skirt the line.
	No, somebody in entertainment.
	Yeah, that was saying we can't really that.
	We have to like right down the middle, we got to figure out how not to offend anyone and I was like, listen, but God is offensive.
	You have got to just be who you are.
	Yes, you've got to be who you are and you've got to live it out loud, and that's what I love about you, because you are who you are.
	You're living it out loud and yes, you've gotten some kickback, because anyone that lives the truth will get kickback.
	But also, you've also got a lot of favor as well, and I think there's a lot of good things happening in your life.
	Now, one thing I noticed about that, um and and yeah, i've always been kind of a bolsterous person in that sense and part of acting, you you kind of are that, but I I remember in in august of 2020, when everything was going on, and just after the summer of Love right, and they've been screaming Blm this whole time yeah, the season Of Blood, season Of Blood as Brandon Toy I think that's a great way to say the great Brandon Toy, wherever he is, wherever he is um so,
	so we had uh, you know, so i'm sitting there and there was like 200 people were killed in Chicago right yeah, 173 of them were all black people, and you didn't hear a word about those killed by other black people in Chicago at the time.
	And then we have all the other cities, like Seattle, your Chaz, all this stuff that were just how, about how many bald people were killed.
	We don't want to get into that, that's.
	I don't want to do that to us.
	I'm sorry, I just I ruined your no no, I ruined your point, no.
	So so we're looking and we're seeing them, in a sense, sacrifice people.
	I did a post on instagram and my friend took a picture.
	I'm walking my dog and I have a little poncho and I put it out there and i'm, at this point, like yeah, i'm at the rallies, but I was like I was a little quiet about me.
	I was kind of going under a different name, chief in the Americano.
	I was quiet about me myself, kind of being loud about it.
	And I put this post and we're walking down this road and I said, you know, take the road, less travel, you'll be surprised what you find.
	And I didn't know, three years later, all the things that I went through and been through and experienced since then.
	But I do know God was like going go, like I couldn't tell you exactly.
	I just know he was like go, like come on, go.
	And then next thing, you know, we're just i'm just getting louder and louder, these rallies and things, people.
	Hey, we want you to speak, we want you to come.
	And it wasn't because yeah, it wasn't like, man, i'm gonna go out there, become the next speaker, i'm gonna become the next rally guy.
	No, it wasn't that at all.
	It was seeing what's going on and just hitting a point of Feeling like no one else is doing it.
	No one else is saying it.
	No one else is expressing it in the way that I think you could get out.
	Let me go.
	Let me do it.
	And ever since then, you know, all the different stuff we talked about before started coming on the line, good and bad, like being on the censorship list here in California, but then having an opportunity to go down to Mar-a-Lago, you know, being fired from being cut by my agents and managers, one just with one email and nothing else to never working in Hollywood again, to working with the B, being a dramatic actor in Hollywood,
	all of a sudden being now going into comedy with you guys and working with the B and Daily Wire and actually feeling like I have more control of my career.
	Being at a point where we've seen people like Johnny Depp cancel for an allegation to when this happened to me, major producer for Daily Wire calls my wife to check in on her.
	Right.
	Talks to me the next day and says, we're not ashamed of you.
	Right.
	Keep pushing the movie.
	Do your thing.
	We got your back.
	Let us know what you need.
	Like, and I'm supposed to shut up for this thing over here that's willing to throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.
	You just realize who your friends are.
	And that's what he said.
	He goes, he said, if we didn't, if we didn't have your back, I wouldn't consider you a friend now, or you couldn't call us friends.
	And I'm like, and that's coming off of Hollywood where people, powerful people I know in the industry go, I can't talk or I'll never work again.
	That's right.
	They're afraid to speak over there.
	We're over here to go, we wouldn't be your friend if we didn't.
	That's right.
	We got you.
	Yep.
	Where am I?
	Like, this is telling me never go over there again.
	You know what I mean?
	Well, this was our first, that was our first thought.
	We were trying to finish our shoot, but we were also trying to figure out how to support you.
	That was our next thing.
	So then Seth gets involved and Kyle gets involved and everybody starts talking about what are we going to do for Siaka.
	And I love that.
	And I think because we do, we are supporting of you.
	And I think that you're finding out that you have a massive network of people that are under you, that have undergirded you, that are surrounding you.
	You are not alone.
	You know, there's times, I'll be honest with you, there's times where in the last two years, because I was used to working in a certain way in Hollywood, where you're like, man, I just kind of wish the doors were open a little more or more things would be happening because you feel frustrated.
	And this is also, you forget, it's a newer world being created at the end of the day.
	It's not like the Hollywood of, you know, almost 80 years of industry infrastructure where they know how it's going to work.
	And when I was transferred from that, from the U.S. Marshals to the courthouse, and I walked in to the court and I have you shackled, you know, from your wrist to your waist to your ankles.
	And I'm shuffling in, you know.
	And I look over and I'm looking for my wife and the lawyer.
	That's who I'm thinking is there, maybe one other person, right?
	I look over and there's 15 people from different walks of life, from our church to, you know, people who ran for office that I've known to just old family friends to the pastor who married us.
	And that just blew my mind already.
	I was like, whoa.
	And I didn't even see Charlotte in that beginning because I couldn't find her because there were so many people that I was like, you, oh, wow.
	Well, it's so great to see you.
	And, but the beautiful thing when I said, again, God was with me that entire time.
	Yeah.
	When we were going from the Marshall's office or Marshall's building to the courthouse or transfer, there's this big, tall white guy.
	He's probably like bald head like you, low beard, but he's 6'2.
	So, so, and he's big, dude.
	He's tatted from his neck all the way down, hands.
	Basically, you look over and go, oh, there's the white supremacist, you know, neo-Nazi in jail.
	And, and it was this cast of character very interesting.
	We start walking.
	happened to be in front of the four other guys I was with that were being transferred.
	I'm walking and the guy says, hey, man, nice shirt.
	So I go, oh, hey, yeah, no, you know, Jesus saved my life.
	I just started talking, God.
	He's like, yeah, man, I started reading the Bible.
	He's just talking, God.
	We're sitting in the transport, heading over there, and we're talking about God.
	And we get into the Count of Monte Crystal, that book.
	We get into the Lord of the Rings series.
	We start talking about novels in there between him, me and like three other guys in there.
	We go through the courtroom.
	I see the support.
	We get to the back.
	Now, a lot of people don't know when you're in the back of the courtroom waiting to be called out, you're in a holding cell.
	So you're still sitting there cuffed inside a cell while the marshals are sitting there waiting to let you out, you know, one at a time.
	And so we're back there and we're talking.
	And I'm getting into, I'm telling him, you know, man, you should try reading.
	I was all Romans.
	Romans is just like, it just blew my mind.
	I'm like, wait a second.
	It is amazing.
	Right.
	And so we start talking about it some more.
	And he's like, he goes, hey, man.
	He goes, are you mind praying real quick?
	I'm like, you want me?
	Yeah, for everybody.
	So we start praying.
	I said something to the line of like, no matter what happens, if we're let out, because this is a bond hearing to possibly be let out.
	He goes, if we're let out or we're not, we know that as long as we rely on Jesus, we're going to be fine.
	And we got done.
	And, you know, people were, they really took the prayer.
	They really, you know, took it, took it well.
	And so then we started, we started going in.
	Everyone started going out for their case.
	They go out and come back and be like, oh, that judge is a B.
	She sucks.
	Don't be unreasonable.
	And I was like, well, you know, in my mind, in my mind, I'm prepared to be in jail until I'm not.
	Because the one thing about jail, the color scheme's the same.
	It's all this kind of gray, white.
	There's no clock.
	So you have no idea.
	It's like Vegas, but worse, because you have no idea what time it is when you're inside.
	It's voice and face.
	And so every guy's going and coming.
	Everyone's going and coming.
	The guy, the big tall dude, right?
	He's in there.
	He's been in there for 18 years.
	He had just the year before stabbed somebody.
	That's who we're around.
	We're around gunrunners.
	We're around people who've committed murder.
	Dang.
	And so I'm getting ready to go.
	And all the guys, hey, man, we hope you get out.
	It's like, oh, thanks, bro.
	I appreciate it.
	Like, everyone's like, good luck.
	Good luck.
	Thanks, Paul.
	I go shuffling out.
	They open the door.
	I walk out.
	Everyone who was there stand up.
	And I'm just like, imagine just a wave pushing at you because you see everyone just stand up.
	So I'm shuffling over.
	I'm trying to kind of keep it together.
	Don't cry.
	And then Charlotte's wearing, she's an all-black, black dress, and she has her ring or my ring on her necklace.
	And as I'm coming out, she grabs her Bible.
	She walks around.
	She walks around the bench to come sit next to my lawyer.
	As we're walking by, just it timed out.
	I just walked over, gave a little kiss.
	We gave each other a little kiss and she just boom stands there.
	And I'm, I, Jared, I am just just to know I had back like that, you know?
	And again, I didn't know I had back like that until I came out.
	That's right.
	But just seeing that back like that there standing up for me, I have like, no one can tell me God isn't real.
	Nobody.
	Yeah.
	Nobody.
	I saw what happened.
	I saw, because evil is going to do what it's going to do.
	Yeah.
	But when you see God working in that evil, and the judge was super reasonable, the DA was reasonable.
	They're like, all right, basically, long story short there, they're like, we're going to let you out.
	Right.
	I just had to go do the process.
	But let me tell you how the Lord continues to work.
	So I leave thinking, I'm done.
	But I was supposed to sign paperwork first before I left the courtroom.
	And so was the DA.
	DA leaves.
	I leave.
	So if the paperwork doesn't get signed, I don't get out.
	One of our friends that goes to church with us, she takes off, boom, takes off in the courtroom, running in this building, trying to find the DA who's leaving.
	Court's done in 10 minutes for the weekend.
	She takes off.
	She finds him in the parking lot on his phone like he's leaving.
	She's like, nope, we need you.
	Brings him back.
	The court reporter who was going to finalize everything is like, I got to catch my train.
	Like, come on.
	Right.
	They're like, no, no, we'll give you a ride.
	And they allow my lawyer to sign for me, a DA sign, sign.
	Mind you, I'm on the transport heading back to the marshals.
	Like, oh, I can't wait to get home, sit down in my bed, all this stuff.
	they're still fighting for me man there's people like you I appreciate it.
	I mean, here's a funny thing.
	The woman who ran to do it, she actually a year ago named her little speedster car after me.
	So it was funny that she was the one.
	Yeah, and it was funny.
	She was the one that ran and got this guy.
	And I walk out and it's, you know, big empty building at this point.
	I walk out and Charlotte's right there.
	My lawyer's right next to her.
	And I run up and give her a hug.
	And then I go outside and I see everyone who was in there.
	Like they start coming.
	It's almost like they start coming out the woodworks because they're parked up the street a little bit.
	Then we do big hug together.
	And, you know, that moment on, you know, friends, friends that have worked with me on the campaign, friends Brandon and Trish, they were there, like ready to go, get our gifts and go going so that we get the message out there, get our story out there first.
	Because we know this is a narrative game, a narrative war that we're in at the end of the day.
	And just like the raid, after they raid my house, first thing we do is boop, we did a live to let them know we've been raided.
	And just like this, as soon as we were to get out, we had our gifts and go ready with our story on there.
	We're able to go and have conversations with trusted sources.
	And I mean, it's night and day with the media support that's happened from post-millennium to Epoch Times to Red State to you guys.
	Everyone compared to before where it was like the LA Times, the Daily Mail, everyone was like, actor raided, actor raided over here.
	It was like Siaka persecuted.
	And it's like, because that's what's happening.
	But it's not, honestly, it's not just about me, though.
	Because fortunate enough in this situation, we can get you guys to be here.
	We can get Seth to make a post that then Elon Musk can make a statement on.
	Where's that grandma who's been in jail for a year?
	Where are the grandfathers?
	Where are those people who were just innocent, thinking they were going there to protest and express their voice and practice their First Amendment, who have been picked up in the darkness of the night that no one knows?
	That's true.
	Maybe, maybe, maybe, just maybe this is an opportunity for elected officials and the rest of the country to go, you know what?
	Stop.
	Stop.
	I don't care if I'm a Democrat.
	This isn't cool.
	Stop it.
	Stop.
	Stop it.
	Because they have too much power.
	Yes.
	For misdemeanors.
	Stop politically persecuting because that's not what this country was built on.
	It's so reminiscent of Soljanitson.
	It's so reminiscent of the Gulagar Capella.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah, I know.
	It reminds me, that's it.
	You didn't even have to do anything to get picked up by your political opposition.
	They send you off and you'd never go from these people again.
	And that's what happened.
	But, you know, Soljanitson's whole point was just don't live by lies at least.
	If you can speak up, then you need to speak up.
	And that's what you're doing.
	It's also hopefully what we're doing in the way we do satire.
	And so we speak up against all these ideas.
	Well, it's very important what we're doing.
	It's extremely important.
	And it's extremely important for society, for healthy society.
	And, you know, the things I'm learning from listening to you talk are that we as people that believe these things, we need to, first of all, not take the bait when it's presented to us.
	We got to recognize that there's bait out there.
	Yes.
	We can't trust this.
	We can't trust him.
	Yes.
	And secondly, we've got to make sure that we are on the up and up with everything.
	And then we got to speak up when we get a chance.
	Exactly.
	And then when we have friends like you, because you're, you and I are friends.
	We're not, we're not just like, just like cracking.
	Yeah, we're not just working.
	It's not just an interview.
	Yeah.
	Like, honestly, this reason why I love the fact that I got to interview is because you and I hang out outside.
	We're friends and we're connected.
	And so when you have friends go through stuff like this, support them, talk about it.
	And don't let grandma disappear.
	Don't let grandma disappear.
	And not quietly into the night.
	Like I said, a lot of this, a lot of this, this has to be God's timing because right off of the premiere landing back here in the mood to move to try to embarrass, it brought support that I know two weeks earlier or two weeks later would not have been in the same level.
	The Lord timed it right.
	Oh, so if they're going to move, they're going to do that.
	He must, he knew.
	Of course he knew.
	Because again, like I said, the things and the opportunities that are opening up because I don't look at this as just what happened to me, like I said.
	I look at this as a chance now to go, this is what they've been doing.
	Yeah.
	And you're upset that it's happening to me.
	Let's go check out that grandma.
	Let's go check out that FBI.
	More like KGB.
	Exactly.
	It's true, though, like in many ways.
	So I think you're absolutely right.
	You know, the thing is, in this world, we will have trouble, but take heart.
	Jesus has overcome the world.
	Amen.
	And so I think that that's great.
	The last thing is we need to pray.
	We need to pray, pray, pray.
	And it works, guys.
	I'm telling you, I've seen the prayers work.
	I've seen it work.
	Yeah.
	I've seen it move.
	I can't tell you enough how even again, night and day from the raid and the way that moved to today and the fact that that had been hanging over for two years, knowing that eventually it was going to have to be some type of a reckoning.
	I said to Charlotte, I go, one of the bright spots about them doing this is now we can have an end.
	Right.
	Because one way or another, they're not, you know, yes, they've been, they've been spying, they've been recording, they've been listening, and they're going to until this case is over, maybe even after.
	But to know that there will be an end to this, that it's coming does give even more reprieve than it did before.
	So look, God has taken the lead on this.
	And I always say he can use me as any way he wants.
	Well, I think that's a good place to end on because I agree with you.
	We need to allow the Lord to use us any way he wants to.
	That's the whole point.
	And secondly, I think we need to, there's two ways you can support Siaka.
	One of them is to pray for him.
	Please.
	So please pray for Siaka.
	Please pray for his family, his wife, Charlotte, just beautiful people.
	And we're just honored to be here with you guys because you're such awesome people.
	But secondly, there's a Gibbs and Go.
	Can you just tell them where to go for that?
	So you want to go to Gives SendGo hashtag?
	No, back's not hashtag.
	I'm so used to going to slash.
	Sorry, gives and go slash Siaka.
	S-I-A-K-A.
	Very simple right there.
	And, you know, hopefully you can get your support.
	If you can't do it financially, get it.
	You know, Bidenflation sucks.
	So at least spread the word.
	And again, please pray because that is so powerful.
	And we're seeing how it works there.
	So that's awesome.
	Well, thank you guys for tuning in.
	This is Siaka.
	He's a free speech advocate.
	He's a wonderful actor.
	He's a creator and a man of God and a leader in our community.
	So we just want to support you and we want to love you and keep praying for him.
