Children's Success Matters 00:04:44
Welcome to Making Sense of the Madness.
I am Jason Burmese and get ready to expose the school system and take our children back with Sean McBriery and we're going to be talking about everything January 6th with Cynthia Hughes.
Buckle up and get ready to make sense of the madness.
Hello, everyone.
I've been coming here for five years now and I was going to talk to you about some practical things that I thought you could change about 3210, but I've changed my mind.
I've been really confused over the last five years as to why we spend 45 minutes to an hour of every public meeting talking about how great everyone is and how great everything is in the schools.
And now I've figured it out.
I figured it out because all these people came here to defend you all from hurtful words.
This is obnoxious.
Let me just say, there is one goal for the educational system.
It should be to prepare children to enter careers to be productive members of society.
It is not a counseling session.
It is not a self-help area.
It is not somewhere to find yourself.
And we should not be led by the children, for goodness sake.
The children are called dependents for a reason.
They depend on us who have fully developed brains.
You cannot feel your way through life.
The issues that we are talking about, we are bringing you statistics.
We are talking about scholastics.
We are talking about funding.
We are talking about busing.
We are talking about trying to figure out how to make our children be as successful as possible.
And I am sure that that is your goal.
And what we have been called tonight is what they're claiming that we're saying to children.
We're having an adult conversation.
There are not children in this room.
We aren't going into the schools and calling them names.
They call us Marxists and hateful and bigots and everything else under the sun.
Well, let me tell you, less than 5% of the entire population of North Carolina identifies as LGBTQ.
You guys all claim you want democracy.
Well, you know what democracy is?
It's the majority plus one.
It's 50 plus one.
You know what?
More than 50% of the people in this state claim that they believe in God, Almighty God, who made us male and female.
God who made marriage between a man and a woman.
God who said that we must protect our children.
The fact that we can stand up here and we know we can brag about all of the wonderful graduations, but we know, we know the statistics.
50% of children did not pass their end of grade tests.
What are we celebrating?
We have children coming up here telling us how horrible the mental health crisis is.
Why?
Most of us went to public school and all of our peers are not in mental health crises.
We have to ask ourselves, what are we doing to our children?
I'm going to say we are discussing things with them that they are not emotionally, intellectually, and morally able to handle.
That is what is causing the anxiety.
That is what is causing the depression.
That is what is causing the confusion.
We need our children to be able to be children, to be able to be innocent, to be able to enjoy childhood and not know all of the drama and all of the difficulties in adult life.
That is what we want.
We want our children to be able to read and write and to think for themselves.
And we demand that the children who fear God are protected in your school.
Powerful words.
And that's what we need.
You need more people in their communities, in their school systems, stepping up to the plate and pointing out, hey, half the kids didn't pass their end of year test.
What are we really preparing them for?
What is this?
Why is everything about feelings?
Why are we shielding things from parents?
Well, to me, it's a parent.
They want to break up the nuclear family.
They want to take away your rights as a parent so the state can come in and then dictate to you what can be done with your child.
And at the same time, trying to confuse them on every single level and normalize the sexualization of children.
That is a very real agenda we are seeing come into play all over the place.
Critical Race Theory's Impact 00:11:06
So now is the time to step up.
And when we come back from break, we're going to be talking to Sean McBrierty, who has done that for some time now and continues to do so.
Let's get it, get ready to make sense of the madness after this.
Banks are supposed to be the safest placeholders for cash in the world, but in 2022, that changed.
The Federal Reserve pulled out 2.5 trillion of liquidity out of the banks, and the Fed also changed the requirements so banks don't need to keep any funds on hand.
This means banks are starved for liquidity and have now become very dangerous places to hold your assets.
Get out of this system with the world's safest and most private assets, silver and gold.

We are back and joining us now is somebody who's been called a white supremacist, barred from graduation ceremonies, and done the tour around mainstream media for standing up to the machine that is currently trying to indoctrinate our children.
Sean McBrierty joins me.
Sean, for those not familiar, tell us where your journey began.
Yeah, it's been a crazy three years, Jason, to be honest with you.
I was just a normal dad, non-political, never really watched the news, but I always voted.
I was more of an outdoors guy, but I thought I lived in the nicest little, you know, quaint Maine community in Cumberland, Maine.
And then what I found out was that our school system, my daughter, my twin daughters were juniors at the time in high school, found out that they were pushing critical race theory starting in kindergarten.
And the more and more that I dug and the more FOA requests, Freedom of Access Act, the more I looked into these situations, the more adversarial it got.
And ultimately, the school system put my entire family in danger because I was being outspoken about what they were pushing.
That then kind of spun into a year-long battle, a lot of school board discussions, a lot of going to the microphone, trying to inform other parents in the community.
And ultimately, what they wanted to do, the superintendent decided he was going to withhold me from my now senior daughter's high school graduation.
And that became a global story.
It's quite unbelievable, but it shows the direction the school systems have gone in.
And since then, it's gotten even more egregious as if that's not egregious enough, going after our children at a very, very young age and trying to divide them via racial features.
It's not how I grew up.
It was, you know, all colors, all creeds, content of one's character.
I'd like that to be taught to kindergartners, not the other things that they're trying to push.
And yet, it's gotten even wilder.
Let's talk about that.
Yeah, so interestingly enough, patriots across the country, I was on a number of the big shows, Tucker Carlson and Fox News, and patriots across the country really came to me and helped me and my family.
They pushed back on the superintendent.
Ultimately, I was able to attend my senior daughter's graduation.
No hiccups, no problems.
There was no scene.
I just wanted to be a dad and watch my girls walk across the stage.
We moved back to my hometown of Hamden, Maine, two years ago, and I quit my job and really just kind of wanted to take a break.
It was kind of a stressful period with everything going on.
And ultimately, what happened was friends and family here said, Hey, Sean, you spoke out for parents in Cumberland, Maine, about what was going on in that school district with critical race theory.
Do you know how bad our current Hamden RSU 22 system is with hypersexualization of minors?
So the way that this kind of process has worked is critical race theory, you mentioned it, content of characters should be what really overrides this whole system.
But they're pushing this woke identity politics into schools to divide kids from their family.
They want to blow up the sort of nuclear American family.
So we started to identify that the main teacher of the year, Kelsey Stoyanova, who was an eighth-grade teacher in middle school here in the town that I live in now in Hamden, Maine, was hypersexualizing kids with anti-father, LGBTQ, transgender, and hardcore kiddie porn books, Jason.
If you can imagine this, put on posters in her classroom, and then they had incentives and daily announcements and prizes for 11-year-old kids to read books like All Boys Aren't Blue, which is just, it's an 18-plus book.
It's graphic, it's sexualized, it's just nasty content.
And we started to push that.
Ultimately, I started to name names at the microphone in these school board meetings.
The school board here in town ultimately tried to kick me off campus with a no trespass.
And I currently have two federal lawsuits going on: one suing my local school district, Hamden, Maine, and one, Herman, Maine, suing me for my First Amendment rights because I exposed a 40-book transgender library display in that school.
So when people think about Maine, they don't understand, Jason.
Maine is the California of the East Coast.
And I don't understand how we make sense of the madness here because my home state has basically become a liberal wasteland.
Well, you know, I saw the same thing happen in upstate New York because of the politics within the city.
A lot of people don't understand.
It's really infiltrated a lot of small communities because of large voting blocks.
Illinois is another one.
And we have to stand up to all of these things.
I want to talk about not only the demonization, but the mobilization of the Department of Justice to intimidate people who would stand up to their school boards and how they've kind of openly criminalized those that would oppose this.
And at the same time, you know, you talked about this teacher that was sexualizing children.
What are they doing?
They're incentivizing those things by giving them awards, correct?
Yeah, they were pushing this book list, and the book list had, again, critical race theory, hypersexualization, all of these, you know, nothing that had to do with education.
The other thing that, Jason, people don't understand is in Maine, only one quarter of the kids are proficient in math and only one third of the kids are proficient in reading.
And so, you know, that other mom at the podium mentioned the academic just inequality that's happening here.
They don't care anymore about the basics of education.
They're just pushing this divisive concept.
And it's this far left, radical, politicized agenda.
And it is taking over small towns, just like here in Maine.
It's incredible to me that more people haven't awoken to this.
But for instance, I had a friend who was actually working in the United Nations building.
And a lot of people don't know, but they have something called Eunice.
And this is a school that goes from kindergarten all the way up to a senior in high school can help you get into college.
He's in the fifth grade wing of the school.
And there are literal posters of drag queens everywhere.
These are 10 and 11 year old children, graphs on how many gay people live in this country or that country.
And then right with them is this UN equity and sustainability marker for the 21 SDGs.
This is a global agenda, and these are acquainted in one another.
And they are, in fact, indoctrinating our children in this.
At the same time, we say, hey, we don't want these type of books around small children.
These are adult books.
Then they come at us and they say, you are a book banner and you want to ban things like to kill a mockingbird.
And to me, to kill a mockingbird is one of those stories I read as a kid, I think probably 11 or 12 years old, that sticks with me to this day, that actually has so many lessons that we should be learning about historical race inequality.
And we're not looking to ban those things.
Yet they create the straw man and the false argument.
Yeah, no doubt.
And you mentioned the Department of Justice.
I mean, Merrick Garland, that guy is just a creep.
He's just incompetent in his job.
But what you've seen is you've seen a lot of parents who dare to go to the microphone, dare to talk about something for three minutes to their local school board to expose what's happening.
And back a couple of years ago, you know, they called people like me domestic terrorists.
You know, Scott Smith, a friend of mine from Loudoun County, Virginia, whose 13-year-old daughter was unfortunately raped.
I think she was 15, 15-year-old daughter was raped in a bathroom.
He was called, he was part of that whole plot by Merrick Garland to really try to push parents off the podium.
So it is crazy in Maine.
Again, I mentioned it in kindergarten.
Our local school system here in Winterport, they were pushing gender concepts and queer theory to kindergarteners, five-year-olds, right?
And that was their goal for a welcome week, an entire week of instruction curriculum having to do with queer theory.
And it's a radicalized process where parents just don't understand.
I mean, I'm 52 years old.
I graduated from high school in 1989.
You never knew what a teacher's political agenda was.
You didn't know they're sexualized, you know, anything that was going on.
But today, the teachers, they literally put it on posters in their classroom and they're proud of it.
They're pushing this stuff nonstop.
And so kids are very confused.
The level of anxiety and depression and thoughts of suicide, we've never seen these levels before because kids just want to be kids.
I don't know what you're doing when I was, I mean, when I was 11, I just want to play wiffle ball and hang out with the guys.
And these kids are having to shield themselves from the sexualized, radicalized agenda every day.
And the moment they get off the bus, they have anxiety now because they know it's not going to be about reading and writing and arithmetic.
It's going to be about LGBTQ cult tactics.
Well, I agree with you.
I was doing the same thing.
We had tennis ball.
We had the wooden bat, a little bit of room, you know, the tennis ball.
But yeah, no, it was like getting 10 kids together so that you could play for like four to five hours before the sun went down.
You went to school the next day and you learned how to read and you learned how to add.
You learned how to multiply.
Pushing Radicalized Agenda Nonstop 00:02:41
Apparently, that's over and that's why we need to take charge.
Before we go to our break, I'd like you to tell us about the Maine First Project.
Yeah, Maine First Project, nonprofit organization, we're trying to take back local school board seats.
We're really trying to expose what's happening and create a group of activists here in Maine in each town that can go and start to identify some of this radicalized agenda in these schools.
And so Maine First Project, again, we're really trying to seek folks to help us out to donate to the cause because Maine is a pretty cheap date, honestly.
We've got a lot of outside dark money that's coming in from these leftist organizations, and they've essentially bought the entire state.
We have a Democrat governor, House, Senate, and District Attorney's Office.
And, you know, again, without folks like Maine First Project, I'm not sure if Maine's going to survive, but we're fighting as hard as we can, Jason.
We need some more support.
Well, people need to get active in every single state, and it's across the board where this is going on.
We need to hold people accountable.
We need to really get rid of the teachers union as they have been absolutely treacherous and shown their fangs over the last three to five years, especially and continue to do so, especially with this transgenderism movement.
And that's what we're going to talk about when we come back.
We've got to take a break.

Pushing Transgenderism on Children 00:03:03
One of the darkest aspects of this takeover by the state and our school system is pushing the transgenderism on children and shielding their quote-unquote gender identity from the biological parents.
Sean, this is a space that is almost unbelievable as we live in a society where you have to be 18 to vote.
You have to be 18 to join the military.
You used to have to be 18 to smoke a cigarette, but they upped that to 21.
We could talk about 21 to drink alcohol, but somehow the push is between six and eight years old, before a child even knows what a physical relationship between a adult and another adult is, they've declared their gender identity and it's time to put them on hormones and possibly have life-altering surgery.
That's literally what's being pushed out there and it's absolutely obscene.
Yeah, Maine just became, unfortunately, one of, if not the only state in the United States that now allows 16 and 17-year-old kids to get chemical castration drugs without parental permission.
So, Jason, yeah, they're taking this situation where in no other medical field do we allow the patient to self-diagnose.
Like here in Maine, including rhino-republicans who pushed this bill through a committee, they're now allowing these kids to basically just start this testosterone treatment.
I had Chloe Cole on my podcast, Maine Source of Truth.
She is one of the detransitioners that was pushed on these hormone blockers.
First off, they're all permanent.
There's nothing that presses pause.
It completely obliterates the bone structure and bone density and the brain development and all of these things, so many repercussions.
But Chloe went from that situation to having her breasts removed, double mastectomy at age 15.
And now at age 18 and 19, she is trying to detransition.
And it's too late because she was sold a bill of goods.
It just wasn't valid.
And so we're allowing these kids who brains have not developed until what, age 25, 26, 27, to make decisions at 16 years old in Maine.
And it's because this trans cultism is being pushed throughout our government system.
And you nailed it in the beginning.
They're trying to separate the kids from the parents.
And this is a way that this is going to happen.
It's just not only mind-boggling, but tragic when we're supposed to be shielding children.
And somehow we have allowed something that we have categorized and rightfully so as a mental illness in adults and then projected it onto children, especially teenagers, when we know that, number one, that this is a time in their lives where, look, you're going to be unhappy at some point, right?
All these hormones, all these changes, there is going to be confusion.
Pulling Kids from the Parents 00:12:35
You are trying to figure out who you're going to become after high school as you become a man or a woman.
What's your career going to be like?
Who are you going to be with?
And then you're bombarded with all these things of influence.
In fact, we have this thing called social media influencers.
And now we're supposed to pretend that there was no such thing as influence in the past.
There wasn't a reason that boys wanted to be police officers and cowboys and firemen and astronauts and girls wanted to play with Barbies and be princesses.
No, no, no.
Now there is no influence, but there is because there are influencers, but not on sexual identity.
It just so happens so many of these quote-unquote influencers out there on social media that are promoted by the mainstream and have all these likes and have all these followers tend to be transgender or male, you know, male drag queens that are doing the makeup.
It's the inversion of reality.
You're sitting there not allowed to say what's actually going on because you're a bigot if you do.
They have no real influence.
And at the same time, they're telling you they're influencers.
It's the upside down, Sean.
Yeah, and one of the local schools here in Bangor, Maine, the high school actually hired this guy, Dominic Varney, who is also, his stage name is Priscilla Poppycox, goes by Poppycox.
Okay, so he's a drag queen.
They paid this drag queen $1,000 to come in and speak to selected, invited-only high school students, a catered party, basically, for a drag queen.
And I want to read from one of these things, this teacher, Emily Throckmorton, she stated in an email that I received in a Freedom of Access Act request, I just know you're a role model for these kids.
And so this queer theory has now become curriculum.
It's now become a role model for high school kids in Bangor, Maine to hypersexualize these minors.
So one of the things that I tell people is calling them a drag queen is just too kind.
They are trans stripper groomer clowns performing in female blackface, and they have mental health issues.
They should be nowhere near children, nowhere near schools.
But this is the radicalization and the normalization of sexuality that is now pervasive in our school system.
And what does it say about any adult that wants to parade around in a sexualized manner in front of children?
Period.
Who would want to take part in this?
And then on top of that, we have a system in which the vast majority of us, whether we realize it or not, are paying for it through our taxes.
In other words, this is taxpayer funded and interjected into the educational system.
Here in Iowa, they had a pep rally two weeks before graduation.
We're talking about 12-year-olds and up.
So middle school and up.
And yep, they rolled out to in-makeup drag queens.
And it's all about love is love.
It's unbelievable.
How do we stop cutting our own throats?
Well, I think a couple of things we need to identify is: you know, where is this coming from?
So you've got a lot of these in Maine, it's Out Maine is one of the companies, a nonprofit that's pushing this hypersexualized content on kids.
They're doing that through books in the library.
They love to push books like Gender Queer, just one of the most graphic, disgusting books you'll ever see into minor kids' hands in middle school.
And so I think parents really need to identify what are they doing?
First off, in my opinion, I tell every parent I can, pull your kids out of school immediately.
Make a plan here in the next couple of weeks, the last few weeks of summer to pull your kids out of public school before the next fall season starts.
Because if you don't, your kids, they're going to be gaslighted.
They're going to be indoctrinated.
And unless they've got a strong moral foundation, maybe a religious foundation, they're prime meat basically for these people trying to take these kids from you.
And that's their goal.
They want to take these kids from you.
So if you're a parent and you can't homeschool, you better darn start fighting for your kids' education every day like their lives depend on it because they do.
These kids are coming home with, again, a massive amount of anxiety and depression and thoughts of suicide.
And you might lose your kid if you don't start stepping up to the microphone and really starting to call some of these people out.
Well, there's another aspect that you just brought up that I think is important.
Aside from the state wanting to separate you from your child and have more rights over them, there is this separation of the idea of God.
And I'm not here to tell people what to believe, but the very idea of a spiritual side and a higher power is consistently not only discouraged and degraded, it's outright banned in most cases and is clearly part of the agenda, Sean.
Yeah, and I'm still sort of new in my spiritual journey, Jason.
But what I've found is you can connect the dots between what's really happening in the Bible and some of the scripture to what's happening in schools.
And they took religion out of the schools in, I think, 1962.
But what they've done is now Marxism is the religion.
For example, the American Library Association is run by a Marxist lesbian, her words, Emily Drabinsky.
And one of the things that she said in one of these quotes in her tweet was, she can't believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is now the president-elect of the American Library Association.
So any school who's associated with the American Library Association, Marxism has become the new religion.
That is the sort of communist aspect of what's going on.
And I truly believe based on the diligence and homework that I've done is that they're looking to have America destroy itself from the inside with our next generation.
And it's working for them.
If people don't start fighting this, we're going to lose our country.
I absolutely agree.
And let's talk about that fight.
What would you tell my audience if they wanted to get involved today?
What are the steps that they can take?
Because, you know, one of the big takeaways for me is the people are the power.
And they tried to ban you from that graduation, but you were able to get so many people to support you that what?
They had to bend the knee in the end.
And we need more of that.
We need more people to stand up together, speak up together, and force the situation.
And if you can't force these people out, you have to run against them.
You have to take their positions.
Or like you said, you essentially have to eliminate your children from the system.
So how do they do that?
Yeah, I think parents really, they need to press pause.
I mean, our lives have become so busy.
I think parents, moms, dads, they need to put down the social media, talk to the kids, really develop a plan for what's going to happen.
Because again, they may not understand fully that the school system that they're putting their kids into, and that's probably more than 50% of their property taxes, an immense amount of money that they're paying to these institutions.
All they're trying to do is take their kids from you.
And so parents need to understand things like in Maine, it's the Freedom of Access Act or FOIA in many states.
You need to start asking questions, pushing back, getting content in curriculum, and then really understanding what's happening to make enough of a sense of, again, sense of the madness to pull your kids out.
Because I say, listen, in three hours a day, you can homeschool your kids.
And we've been taught over the years that school is really hard and you have to be educated.
You have to have a master's degree of education.
Based on what I've seen from the teachers' union, the MEA Maine Teachers Union, all it is is a political indoctrination front from the Democrat Party.
You can do so much better as a parent when you pull your kid out.
And again, I would say if you decide you can't pull your kid out, you have to start fighting like your kid's life depends on it.
So you need to start going to the school board meetings.
That lady in the open, she mentioned it.
These school board meetings are basically a degradation of democracy and action, but you have to go, you have to run and take back local control.
The only way you win, the only way that you get these public K through 12 institutions back is to get one more conservative person on that board than liberal and take that school back and essentially knock out all of this woke nonsense.
You know, people don't realize until they go.
I went to a school board meeting maybe a year and a half ago, and the first thing they did was break out the equity and diverse flashcards.
And everybody was, well, this is the greatest thing ever.
And meanwhile, these kids aren't getting an education.
Give my audience the websites where they can support you financially.
Because listen, these things aren't cheap, especially when you're going around the country, when you are trying to challenge these people in political office, because that's what these things essentially are.
That's why you have to be involved in your community, in the school boards, in your city council, and beyond, folks.
So, Sean, tell us about it.
Yeah, MaineFirstProject.org.
We'd love to have you sign up on our contact list so we can send you emails about what's happening in Maine.
I have a podcast called Maine Source of Truth, and I also run a Facebook page.
It's all educational content.
You can go down the rabbit hole, parents, as long as you want.
You could spend hours, but I'm not sure how many examples you need to know that they're coming after your kids.
I started a sub stack at Sean McBride where I'm starting to write some articles.
I'm pretty active on Twitter at Sean McBride as well.
So follow me on social media.
I'd love to have some interactions, but it's continuously trying, Jason, really to expose what's happening.
I tell people that nine out of 10 parents in Maine really have no idea what's going on.
And when evil knocks on your door, because that's what's going on, it's biblical evil at this point of what's happening in these schools.
It's probably too late for your child.
So I'm trying to tell you ahead of time what's going on.
I don't want to be the dad that said I told you so.
I'll help you as much as I can, but past that point, it might be too late for your child.
Absolutely.
Ignorance is not bliss on any issue, especially this one.
We can't remain ignorant.
Information is power, but you got to take action as well.
Thank you so much, Sean.
I really do appreciate it.
When we come back, we're going to talk to Cynthia Hughes about January 6th and the Patriot Freedom Project.
It's Making Sense of the Mets.
We are back and the January 6th saga continues.
People are continuing to be charged and arrested.
The president is still being charged and having more charges added to those things.
Sentencing is out of control for some of these people.
We even have judges asking for even more time.
All that and more with the Patriot Freedom Project.
We have Cynthia Hughes.
Cynthia, to get things going, tell people about the Patriot Freedom Project and how you got involved.
Well, first of all, thank you very much for having me on.
I started the Patriot Freedom Project after my own family got caught up in the debacle of January 6th, back in January of 21.
And he was arrested.
His name is Tim.
He's my adopted nephew.
He was arrested on nonviolent charges and he remains in jail today.
Tim's Two-and-a-Half-Year Journey 00:15:38
He's been in jail for more than two and a half years at this point.
No criminal history, nonviolent charges.
Found guilty at trial on obstruction of an official proceeding and sentenced to 48 months in prison.
It's just unbelievable.
And a lot of people don't understand the gravity of this.
Not only did these people, in many cases, not get a speedy trial, not only were they obviously overly prosecuted and given insane sentences, but many of these people in the very beginning were also held in solitary confinement.
That's aside from all the financial troubles that go with this and then the labels that the media have put out there that somehow these people are domestic terrorists.
What exactly did your son do?
Again, this is nonviolent.
What did he do?
Enter the Capitol?
Yeah, I mean, he did.
He went inside.
I mean, there's, you know, it's like the elephant in the room for so many.
He went inside.
He didn't go in the staterooms.
He didn't go in the chamber.
He didn't go in the Senate rooms.
He was in the crypt.
He didn't have a costume on or anything like that.
He was in a suit and tie.
You know, and he's on video literally skipping around in the crypt, waving a Trump flag that he found on the ground.
And that's what he, that's what he did.
He didn't do anything other than that.
He didn't break anything.
He didn't assault anybody.
And when he was asked to leave the building, he left the building.
And for that, they threw him in solitary confinement for more than a year, literally in a jail cell for 23 hours per day.
And, you know, and he languished away in the DC jail, but not before he was transferred around between New Jersey and New York and Oklahoma and West Virginia and Virginia, where, you know, where he ended up going to DC from there.
And he got COVID.
He had a terrible ear infection.
He's had hearing loss.
And I mean, and he's not the only one.
I mean, this has happened to a lot of these defendants.
And it's not just men that are in jail, it's women.
And it's not just, you know, bad conditions in the DC jail.
It's bad conditions in many of the other jails and the prisons.
There's overcharging.
There's very lengthy sentences.
And there's no end in sight.
And we have a very complacent Congress who really doesn't act or do anything.
They do speak out here and there.
We know Marjorie Taylor Greene and Troy Nells and the great Louis Gohmert, you know, Paul Gozar, Andy Biggs, that's about it.
Maybe Matt Gates, you know, who have tried to go into the jail.
We know that Marjorie and Louie did make it in the jail back in 21.
But that's really it.
You know, I mean, we're not really seeing much action.
You know, we see action from President Trump, though.
I mean, I've met with President Trump and I've had a few fundraisers, you know, at his establishments.
And I've brought January 6 families to meet him.
I've brought several of the kids of these men that are in jail to see the president.
We just had a fundraiser with him in June in New Jersey.
And, you know, despite all of the hardship that he is facing and all of the political witch hunts that continue on, here he was embracing these kids, reassuring these kids, telling these kids how proud of them he was.
And, you know, and he's the only one that has spoken out about January 6th, spoken out for the defendants, and assured people that he will be issuing pardons if he gets back into the White House.
I haven't heard any other presidential candidate say a single solitary word about January 6th.
Florida has the most January 6th defendants.
And, you know, Ron DeSantis is, you know, it's crickets from him.
He says nothing.
Well, I would say that I believe Bivec has weighed in on the issue and said he would look at pardons for the majority of those people.
I mean, it's so obvious.
First of all, solitary confinement for somebody who was nonviolent in a mass quote-unquote trespass with no criminal history.
That should have been a slap on the wrist.
It should have been a processing.
Let them go literally out into the public, obviously, on their own recognizance, forget about bail, and then come back in and, you know, maybe face a fine, maybe some public service, certainly not a jail sentence given the situation.
But obviously, that's not the narrative that the media has gone with.
They've gone full insurrection, and they're still in large part shielding a lot of the video evidence from the public.
We were promised this by McCarthy, and the power of video to me is so powerful in the light of the Jacob Chancely case, where he was supposed to serve more years in prison.
But literally, days after Tucker Carlson showed that he was chauffeured around essentially by security and taken into that room, he was released, put into a halfway house, and the process began.
That's why it's so important to get that information out there.
What are your feelings on the tapes that are being withheld?
Well, I mean, let's talk about Julian Cater, for example, right?
So, Julian Cater is one of the gentlemen that was accused of killing Brian Sicknick, Officer Brian Sicknick.
You know, he was sentenced to 81 months in prison, 81 months in prison.
We know now that there's some video out here that shows Officer Sicknick being assaulted, not by Julian Cater, but by other protesters, unfortunately, that day.
And Tucker's footage showed Officer Sicknick walking around inside the Capitol.
You know, the media tried to say that he was bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher and he was hit in the head and he was punched.
And, you know, no, you know, I mean, from what we understand and what we hear from, you know, the autopsies, he died of natural causes.
Julian Cater was forced into a horrific plea deal, horrific plea deal.
And he was sentenced to 81 months in prison.
And had that video footage been available to him, maybe he wouldn't be in prison in upstate New York right now, serving 81 months.
I don't know why we haven't seen the video footage.
I mean, we know we have some really great journalists that are looking through the video footage, but it's just not coming out fast enough.
It should be put out on a site somewhere for everybody to be able to access and see.
I don't know why we haven't seen it yet.
And it's very concerning because there's a lot of innocent Americans, you know, Americans that are languishing behind bars.
Last week alone, we had more than 20 new arrests on January 6th, 20 new arrests.
And there are more to come.
There'll be arrests this week.
There'll be arrests next week.
It's madness.
This is madness.
And I don't know why the powers that be are not stepping up to help the American people.
January 6th defendants, Trump supporters specifically, are collateral damage in a quest to keep Donald Trump off of the 2024 ballot.
And that's what this boils down to.
It's really very concerning.
It's a dangerous precedent that's being set in this country.
We have a two-tier justice system, a failed judicial system, and a very weaponized government on all levels.
It's not just the federal level.
It's weaponized on the state level.
It's weaponized in the county, in the municipalities.
And we're just not doing enough to combat that.
We, the people, elect these people to their positions.
And once they get into their positions, it's like they just forget about all of us.
And it's very concerning.
Yeah, unfortunately, I feel like so many people that are aware of the issue have remained kind of indifferent and silent and really haven't taken up in arms over it in even some of the big alternative media sites enough because it is an ongoing issue.
And you just mentioned these plea deals.
Again and again, I see publications that are more than happy to print, for instance, the letters of apology and admissions of insurrection of these people that were forced into the situation so they would only serve another year or 18 months instead of looking at 5, 10, 15, sometimes 20 years for some of these charges.
And you look at somebody like Enrique Atario, who wasn't even there and what they were able to convict him with on this quote unquote insurrection.
It shows that our judicial system has become a farce.
It's true.
It's true.
How sad for this young man?
How sad?
I saw him during his trial a few times.
I've spoken to his mom.
I heard at his sentencing, you know, he just broke apart when they, you know, I mean, at trial at, you know, when they read the verdict.
I don't understand how we justify, you know, finding somebody guilty of what this man was found guilty of when he wasn't even on the property.
This is what's happening.
They're finding people guilty and sentencing people on hearsay, on association, on words, on big scary words.
Look at Thomas Caldwell from, you know, from Virginia.
You know, he was on the first Oath Keeper trial.
And you saw what happened with Stuart Rhodes and Kelly Megs.
They got horrific sentences.
You saw what happened with Jessica Watkins.
She got a horrific sentence.
Tom Clawwell has not been sentenced yet.
We're waiting to hear what his sentence is going to be.
And hopefully it's going to be time served because this man didn't even go inside the building.
They tried to hail him as the leader of the Oath Keepers.
He did nothing wrong.
So he engaged in some text messages.
So what?
He engaged in some chats.
So what?
That doesn't make him a monster.
That doesn't make him a man who was trying to take down the government.
It made him a man that engaged in some, you know, some stupid talk in some chat rooms and some text messages.
And for that, he should go to jail for what, 20 years?
I mean, he's a decorated lieutenant commander from the Navy.
He's an absolute love.
His wife is amazing and wonderful.
And you're going to throw somebody like that in jail.
They raided his farm.
They took his wife out of her home in her nightgown, threw her on the ground.
Well, maybe they didn't throw her, but they put her on the ground.
I mean, it's just madness.
And the fact that it's still going on and they're still arresting people.
I mean, there was another family in Texas not too long ago.
They were raided.
The two children were home.
The husband wasn't there.
You know, they used a battering ram to open, you know, bash the door in.
How do you justify this to the children?
This is why Patriot Freedom Project was started.
It was started, you know, obviously, you know, with helping my family.
And we quickly learned we could help other families.
And in fact, that's what we've done.
And that's the biggest thing for me is the kids.
We have to help these children survive, you know, this trauma in their life.
You know, your previous guest, you know, talking about what's going on in the schools.
He's right.
He is right.
I'm a mother of four.
I mean, my children are grown now, but I'll tell you, I went through a really bad divorce many years ago.
And it affected my children.
And I had to be really hands-on and make sure my kids are okay because that's when your children slip through the cracks.
I took my children out of school and I homeschooled my three youngest children and it was the best thing I did for them.
And, you know, if we don't help these children, you know, of January 6th defendants, and again, you know, you have women.
Look at Rachel Powell from Pennsylvania.
They're trying to throw her in jail for the next 10 years.
Her youngest child is six years old.
She does homeschool her children.
She's a very hands-on mother of eight.
If we don't help these kids cope and help these children survive this trauma, they will slip through the cracks and you will have children that will end up in really bad situations.
Nobody talks about that.
Nobody talks about the marriages that are breaking up and the hardships on these women to keep their marriage together and their home together.
You know, they're working two and three jobs.
And so we created Patriot Freedom Project to help people stay in their homes.
We've helped hundreds of January 6th, you know, defendants and families, defendants or families, I should say.
You know, we've paid mortgage and we've paid rent and utilities.
We've helped with back to school.
We've helped with Christmas.
We've paid Cobra for families that lost their health insurance.
There's so many children without health insurance.
This is not talked about in the mainstream media.
It's really not talked about at all.
And so we're doing something about it.
We're going to continue to do something about it.
We made a documentary.
It's a docuseries.
Part one is already out.
And this is what you'll see in it.
You'll see these families.
You'll see them talk about their hardships.
See some of these children.
And we also have a book out, Due Process Denied, the Detain the Families to Fallout.
As a matter of fact, Sean Morgan, you know, has a chapter in that book and helped me with editing.
And he's amazing.
And we've had great conversations about what's gone on.
And he'll tell you himself.
I encourage everybody to go to duprocessdeny.org and see part one in our docuseries.
Look at these families.
Look how real this is.
Go buy our book.
Read about what's happening to these families and why we started Patriot Freedom Project.
Read about Tim's story.
You know, I was able to humanize Tim through our book.
It's just so sad what's happening in our country and seeing what they're doing to children.
They're truly the collateral damage in this.
Well, we got to take a break, but when we come back, I want to talk about how my audience can get more involved because, like you said, so many of these people have small children.
They are the sole proprietor.
They're single dads, single moms.
They're looking at a decade plus.
It's really an unbelievable situation that continues and is even ensnaring the former president.
When we come back, we're going to talk more with Cynthia Hughes and make sense of the madness after this.
The world is about to shift.
Banks are going cashless globally with the emergence of central bank digital currency, which will bring with it programmable money and the ability to turn on or off your purchasing power based on your digital social profile.
It's like the equivalent of spyware in your bank account.
You need to get out of the system with the world's safest and most private assets, silver and gold.

Supporting January 6th Defendants 00:09:55
How can my audience financially support you?
And then tell us more about the docu series and what it focuses on.
So, you know, we have two websites.
We have patriotfreedomproject.com.
And if you go there, you can learn all about, you know, weaponization of governments and what's happening in the J6 world.
You can see, yes, a special video from President Trump endorsing me and my project.
That was at a Savior America rally that Jerry Perna and I spoke at last year after we had, after I had met with him for the first time.
And then we also have dueprocessdeny.org, where you can go and learn all about our docu series, learn about our book.
You can see part one of our docuseries there.
We don't charge for you to see it.
We just want you to be informed and we want you to know the families, some of the families.
And, you know, you can donate to either one of our, you know, through either one of our platforms.
You know, all your donations, you know, they go to help these kids and these families, these women.
We help the lawyers.
You know, Patriot Freedom Project has been able to help a lot of these defendants who have filed appeals.
We've helped a lot of the lawyers.
I work with a lot of great lawyers.
They don't work for me, but I have a relationship with a lot of the lawyers.
And we're able to help.
One of our lawyers just filed a cert petition to the Supreme Court.
And we helped financially with that.
It's important that we continue to get donations because these lawyers have a lot of work to do.
There's going to be a ton of appeals.
And we just helped several new January 6th defendants get private counsel.
People are afraid to use public defenders who can blame them.
And especially now, right?
You have so many.
I mean, we have more than, you know, we're about at 1,200 or so cases, maybe just under it.
And, you know, these public defenders, they're overworked.
How can they take on any more cases?
It's the CJA attorneys, people need their own private attorneys.
And I hate to put it the way that I'm about to put it, but these are not your typical run-of-the-mill criminal cases, right?
I mean, you have people who go out and commit crimes.
You know, that's not what we're dealing with here.
We're dealing with political feed, you know, and we're dealing with a very serious political situation here.
You know, these lawyers can't expect these defendants to come up with $50,000, $60,000, $70,000.
And so we have a good relationship with a lot of lawyers that we refer people to.
And these lawyers are willing to work at reduced rates because they're very passionate about the rule of law and law and order in this country.
So, you know, you can learn all this by going to patriotfreedomproject.com.
Well, let me say this.
I think it's important that you point out these aren't regular cases.
That's financially devastating enough.
But when there is a political element to this and they literally have unlimited resources to not only prosecute you, but paint you up like a monster and continually press charges against you, you need to have good lawyers.
And unfortunately, you have to fight back financially.
I mean, these cases, like you said, talk about the appeals, the fact you're in solitary confinement, the fact that they're piling these things on.
Just the fact they framed it as an insurrection should let everybody know what they need to.
Now, you talked about the president, and he's floated the idea out there that there would be pardons if he is elected again.
However, he is now looking at criminal charges regarding January 6th and the quote-unquote insurrection inside this same court system.
Now, I've never been a walls are closing in or Trump's going to prison guy.
But at the same time, I cannot ignore the fact that now these cases are going from a civil nature like in New York and an absurd nature with brags in New York into the realm of not only the classified documents case in Florida, but let's pile this one on in DC, where the fix seems to be in via January 6th.
Do you fear they may not only just prosecute Trump, but actually convict him?
Well, you know, I think anything, you know, is possible, obviously, but being around him as much as I have, I mean, he is rock solid.
He is full of confidence.
He does not break under pressure.
You know, I was at Bedminster when he came back from Miami after he, you know, was indicted there and, you know, had to be arraigned, and his speech was amazing.
What do they have on him?
I mean, seriously, what do they have on him?
And this is where it gets very frustrating, right?
Because we have the people in this country who are just, there's like, there's either this side or that side, right?
There's no like in the middle where, you know, people can just be level-headed.
I mean, yes, there's people like that, but people should really wake up to what's happening here.
We're setting a very dangerous precedent.
I mean, it's very blatant what's going on in front of our eyes in terms of the 24 presidential election.
And they're coming after him to stop him, to intimidate him, to intimidate his sons, his family, from them ever running for office or doing anything.
This is a very solid family, a very close family, a very unified family.
They help each other, they care very much about each other.
I think it's going to be very hard to get a conviction.
I have to be honest, I'm very optimistic in that.
And let me ask you this: Do you honestly think it would be right to have any kind of court proceeding in the city of DC against President Trump?
I mean, there's nothing but bias.
Nobody is, you know, in January 6th is getting a fair trial as it is there.
Could you imagine trying to try him in the city of DC?
I mean, we have to continue to have these conversations and they need to trickle down to other people.
More people need to have these conversations because Congress has the power to stop all of this and to help this man, and they're not.
That's my opinion.
Okay, you can have your hearings, but what action are they taking?
I mean, enough is enough.
I mean, the country belongs to we, the people, not the people that we elect to Congress or Senate or to the presidency.
You know, it's about us.
And I think that we need to keep continuing to have that conversation.
Well, I think that we need to step up to the plate because I think there is that distinct possibility, especially in a country that has painted January 6th as an insurrection, successfully prosecuted so many militarized DC after that, and all on the bounds of a stolen election for a poopy pants puppet president.
I mean, that's the reality we live in.
I hope that we can somehow find a way to take it back and stop the bleeding.
But these people have the knives out at the same time.
We have to support those that are most in need, and many of them are January 6th defendants.
Tell us one more time where they can go and help.
You can go to patriotfreedomproject.com or you can go to dueprocessdeny.org.
Thank you so much, Cynthia.
We really appreciate it.
