	Leaving.
	We've got a solar eclipse.
	We've got the earthquake.
	Ran down the hallway.
	The rapture is here.
	The rapture is here.
	Also, I learned that cicadas are coming.
	Cicadas.
	Cicadas.
	For the first time in like 100 years.
	No, no, no.
	Well, this is what I read.
	There's two different kinds of cicadas coming.
	Two different times are coming.
	The good cicadas and the bad cicadas.
	But for the first time in many, many years.
	No.
	Every 17 years this happens.
	Well, that's not what I read, but maybe, you know, maybe no better.
	In a way.
	I would say all those things together.
	What maybe lead wants to believe that either climate change exists or something is returning.
	Of course I'm not at the mercy of climate change.
	It's underground.
	It happens in the eclipse.
	They've known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happen.
	Did everyone just feel themselves lose about five IQ points?
	First of all, you can cut the tension between the members of this crew.
	With a butter knife.
	This is the most uncomfortable exchange I've seen.
	But do we all just feel that we lost about five IQ points?
	I'm going to play it again because we all have to suffer one more time.
	And we have to answer this question seriously.
	Is this show, it's called The View, does it exist solely for rage reactions?
	Do the only people who watch this show watch it to say, These are the dumbest idiots on the face of the planet?
	Or are there people who actually watch it to learn the correct pronunciation of cicadas?
	Cicadas?
	And Whoopi Goldberg is showing up the rest of the...
	Let's watch it one more time.
	If I can hit page.
	Everything you just said is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
	I award you no points.
	And may God have mercy on yourself.
	We've got a solar eclipse.
	We've got the earthquake.
	She ran down the hallway.
	The rapture is here.
	The rapture is here.
	And then also I learned that the cicadas are coming.
	Cicadas.
	Cicadas.
	For the first time in like 100 years.
	No, no, no.
	Well, this is what I read.
	Listen to the tension.
	Listen to this tension.
	Two different times are coming.
	The good cicadas and the bad stuff.
	But for the first time in many years.
	They're not even listening to each other.
	Every 17 years this happens.
	Well, that's not what I read, but maybe, you know.
	Maybe no better.
	In a way.
	All those things together would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists or something is...
	Someone actually gasped at the sheer stupidity of that.
	It's not at the mercy of climate change.
	It's on the ground.
	Joy Behar says earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change.
	Earthquakes, and I'm not saying they are, I'm saying that people have blamed earthquakes on climate change.
	Earthquakes, climate change.
	They're unrelated.
	This is from NBC Montana.
	Hold on.
	Let's see.
	I know I saw someone blame it on...
	New Jersey Senate candidate slant for blaming climate change for the New Jersey earthquake.
	That one we saw.
	Oh, it doesn't matter.
	Oh, it doesn't matter.
	It's truly the dumbest group of people I can imagine being on television.
	How they exist.
	How much are they worth?
	I would like to know how much they make.
	It doesn't matter.
	What good are all of the riches of this world for he who is...
	A blatant...
	An idiot.
	An idiot.
	But I'm sure all of you know that today is the solar eclipse day, and it's a very important one.
	Viva, you're starting off a little cruel.
	I want to start off with a little bit of laughter because it's going to get intense at 6 o 'clock.
	I didn't realize that I signed up for controversy here, but whatever.
	Jake Lane is coming on at 6 o 'clock.
	I said I would go live early, let the crowd trickle in, and do my thing for a little bit.
	And then Jake comes in.
	I think he's going to have an hour.
	From a DC prison.
	And I got my questions, and apparently I've got more questions to ask now because I've been receiving questions all day long because I did not realize there's meta-controversy here.
	There's the controversy of the January 6th political persecutions, which I believe is objective.
	Then there's next-level infighting, it seems, and I don't know why.
	There's next-level about people saying, look, there's good examples of Jan 6th persecution and there's bad examples.
	I'll get into my...
	Intro comments in a bit.
	I want to deal with the...
	Oh, sweet!
	Okay, get over here.
	We're live.
	Keep it, keep it.
	Get out of here.
	Okay, go.
	Thank you.
	Can I have it?
	Absolutely, maybe.
	Get out.
	Close the door behind you.
	I got a gift in the mail today.
	Hyphen, if you're watching.
	I got a clock and it says 1st April 2024.
	Never fear.
	Hyphen is here.
	65 years.
	Check that out.
	That is amazing.
	Thank you very much.
	No, no, I don't want that.
	There's someone's telephone.
	Take this.
	Okay, take it and go put it somewhere where it's safe.
	No, let go.
	Get it.
	Get it.
	Go.
	It's staying in the back.
	That is amazing.
	That was a gift from a member of our locals community.
	Hyphen.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay.
	I got distracted.
	It's the solar eclipse today, people.
	I'm down in Florida, so I was not in the swath of direct darkness.
	I have family that went to Austin, Texas to bask in the awesomeness, but from what I understood, there might have been some clouds and they might not have seen it.
	I had another family member who was in another area that was total darkness, but it's kind of amazing.
	I've been fishing through the internet.
	I'm not really into these things, but it's still kind of cool to see how people capture this moment.
	I pulled up some of the amazing ones, some of the most amazing ones as far as I'm concerned.
	Hold on one second.
	Starlink.
	Okay, here we go.
	So if you look online at the graph of where the swath of darkness was, you see it, this would have been better rotated, but the swath sort of went across America, continental North America, up through Austin, Texas, if you're looking at my hand, and then all the way up to Ontario, through the middle of America.
	This time-lapse here from Starlink, I think they have a live feed, shows you the spot of darkness as it travels across the globe.
	Look at this.
	This is totally cool.
	It's the shadow of the moon.
	It's the shadow of the moon.
	Yes, the moon is blocking the sun.
	Look at that.
	As the Earth rotates.
	I mean, that's like, from outer space, it's even more terrifying than it is from Earth.
	It looks like there's a black hole.
	Or a big hole in the Earth.
	That's one of the more impressive captures of the solar eclipse.
	Amazing.
	It's going to fascinate.
	It would be so much better if they rotated it up.
	Like, why would they rotate it like this?
	I mean, that looks kind of like, God forbid, a meteorite just hit Earth and burrowed itself well into the crust.
	Amazing.
	If you haven't seen that, I'll share you the link with that and you can go look at that.
	Link.
	Link.
	That was one very cool capture.
	There was another extremely cool capture of...
	No.
	No.
	Oh, where's the other one?
	There was a time lapse, and it was beautiful, and I...
	Oh, for goodness sake, I didn't screen grab it.
	Doesn't matter.
	We'll get to that later.
	Do you understand what's so astronomically amazing about the solar eclipse?
	I mean, there's two facts that I have great difficulty believing.
	And although one of them I can't really deny because I can see it with my own eyes, the other one I just don't believe.
	Why do solar eclipses happen?
	Or lunar eclipses?
	The sun and the moon, respectively, are roughly the same size in our view of the cosmos because given their respective sizes, they are the same respective distances from the Earth such that one, despite being...
	I think it's like 65 million moons can fit into the sun, but the sun is like 400 times wider than the moon.
	The reason why they appear to be the same size in the sky, despite the fact that one is massively bigger than the other, is because of the respective distances from the Earth.
	The moon is 248,000 miles from the Earth, and the sun is eight and a half light minutes from the Earth.
	And given their respective distances, as cosmic chance would have it, they appear to be the same size in the sky such that one can block out the other because it's just the perfect size in the structure of the cosmos.
	People say this is evidence of intelligent design.
	I don't know what it's evidence of, but it's such a wild, unbelievable coincidence of all the ways the Earth and the cosmos could have been formed.
	That the moon and the sun appear to be the same size in the sky because they are that respectably far from the earth given their respective sizes.
	That's one.
	The second one, which is even more mind-blowing, and I still do not believe it.
	I don't believe it.
	But I have to because science says so.
	Where is it?
	For goodness sake, I brought it up because no one was going to believe me.
	Here, why do we always see the same side of the moon?
	Well, that question is one that I...
	I could not believe in the first place.
	We always see the same side of the moon.
	Like, people are going to think I'm stupid for not knowing this.
	Others might think I'm stubborn for not believing it.
	We always see the same side of the moon.
	And I said, okay, well, the only way that can make sense is if the moon doesn't rotate.
	It's sort of like fixed rotating around with the earth so that you don't...
	I don't know.
	It's not rotating.
	So it's like stuck in with gravity and it always goes around like on a rope on a string.
	So you always see the same side.
	No, the moon does rotate on an axis as does the earth.
	And the idea is that both rotate at the exact same pace such that it always only shows you the same side of the moon.
	I don't believe it, but I'm reading it from NASA.
	We always see the same side of the moon because as the moon revolves around the earth, the moon rotates so that the same side is always facing the earth.
	That's impossible!
	But the moon looks a little different every night.
	It's impossible!
	We know that the Earth and the moon are separating, or that the moon is getting further from the Earth at a rate of about one and a half inches per year.
	How on Earth, in the existence of the Earth and the cosmos, and the moon and its relation to the Earth, does the moon only rotate at the exact...
	Perfect speed and rotation such that we're only seeing one side of the moon at any given point in time.
	I have difficulty believing it.
	It's not to say that I'm a conspiracy theorist or any other name that you can call me.
	I don't believe it.
	And they say it, and I'm thinking, okay, well, there's astronomical, and then there's just unfathomable, incomprehensible.
	So the solar eclipse was today, and it's a sign of climate change because they didn't know that this was going to happen.
	Several hundred years, but whatever.
	Good afternoon, everybody.
	We're going to delve into a few more things before we get going, but for those who are new to the channel, Monday afternoon stream.
	Monday I try to typically take off because the Sunday night streams are intense, and there's a lot of homework that goes into that.
	But we're doing a Monday afternoon stream because I've got Jake Lane, who is one of the January 6th prisoners, political prisoners as far as I'm concerned.
	And I didn't realize this was going to be a controversial statement because people are saying, He did bad things, and he's not one of the good January Sixers.
	I'm getting ahead of myself.
	I don't want to get in there yet.
	Viva Fry, for those of you who don't know me, we start on YouTube, Rumble, and VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
	I should have made sure we're live there.
	Very nice.
	Yeah, check this out.
	Here's a photograph from our VivaBarnesLaw.
	I don't know who took it.
	I'm going to see who took it.
	But this is the eclipse, like the ring of Sargon, or the ring from The Ring.
	Looking up through the...
	Well, as they put the lid on it in that awful horror movie known as The Ring.
	We start on YouTube, Rumble, VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com.
	We might stay on all three, the entire stream, because I don't necessarily want to interrupt this one.
	Jake is going to come on at 6 o 'clock.
	I said I'd go live a little early to let everybody come in.
	But typically we start on YouTube, Rumble, and VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com.
	We stop on YouTube and we vote with our feet and our eyeballs and our dollars and we go over to Rumble, the free speech platform.
	We end there and then we have an after party at our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community to thank everybody for the support and being part of this wonderful community.
	And incidentally, that's where I get a lot of my information from.
	It's where I get a lot of my questions from.
	And it's a community that looks out for everyone within that community.
	And people said, Viva, you better ask some questions here.
	I had all of these questions pretty much lined up anyhow.
	It's going to be good.
	We're going to get there.
	These things that you see here are called Super Chats.
	YouTube takes 30% of those.
	So if you want to be cost-effective in your support for the channel, Rumble ordinarily takes 20%.
	For the rest of this year, at least, they're not taking any percentage, so it all goes to the creator.
	Best way to support the channel, if you like what we do, $10 a month or $100 if you get a full year at vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Now, what did Pasha Moyer say?
	Not only are the sun and the moon the same apparent size, but the moon is slowly spiraling away from the Earth, so in a few million years, this won't be true.
	That's true!
	But also, it should mean that in a few hundred thousand years or over the millions of years of the moon, it shouldn't be the same side of the moon that we should be seeing every night because it rotates and as it shifts apart.
	Mind-blowing.
	Thank you very much, Pasha.
	Good to see you again.
	Okay, let's get into some of the...
	Nitty-gritty of what we're going to talk about tonight?
	No.
	Before we get there, I want to play this.
	I don't know who did this, but this is fantastic.
	I mean, sometimes there's creations on the internet that are so glorious and so magical.
	Shmoyoho, the YouTube channel that used to songify things, they've made works of art.
	The Room.
	Charlie Sheen.
	Call Charlie Sheen.
	No, no, no, no.
	They've done works of art.
	This is another internet work of art.
	If you haven't seen it, I'll show you the link.
	But give this a listen.
	Getting that shot really was an amazing feeling.
	It hits you.
	Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Trudeau, you are a disgrace for any democracy.
	Mr. Trudeau.
	Is this amazing?
	That's Christine Anderson.
	Mr. Chibot.
	Mr. Chibot.
	Holded unacceptable views in their expressiveness.
	I'm not going to play the whole thing, but you get the idea.
	Spare us your hypocrisy.
	All right.
	I've shared the link with everybody so you can appreciate that work of art.
	And if you haven't seen today's vlog, which I put out At about 5 o 'clock before the stream, I did a breakdown of how Trudeau is actually effectively and in real time turning Canada into a hermit kingdom wherein the politically disfavored speech is going to be criminalized,
	wherein the politically disfavored media are going to be silenced and suppressed, and wherein the state government propaganda will be propped up, financed directly, financed indirectly, and financed indirectly yet again.
	By the effects of legislation on big tech companies.
	That stream is out.
	Okay, so...
	Oh, hold on a second here.
	According to NASA, the moon rotates on its axis 27 hours for one rotation at the same rate as the Earth's orbital speed.
	And I guess it could make sense if the moon broke off with a meteorite and the meteorite hits and it splits and it goes off like that.
	It's cosmic.
	And I don't even say evidence of intelligent design because why would...
	That'd be something that even an intelligent design would want to design into the cosmos.
	It's wild.
	Great breakdown of the censorship, Viva.
	Thank you very much.
	Welcome to the PSYOP.
	Oh, Mr. Trudeau!
	Mr. Trudeau!
	Okay.
	There's that.
	Did I share that link in our Locals community?
	No, I wanted to.
	And I'm going to do it right now.
	Link to tweet.
	Okay.
	I have been a very vocal...
	Not critic.
	I mean, I was slow to the party.
	We did a live stream the day of the insurrection, January 6th.
	Barnes was in Washington, but not in D.C. And we did a stream the day of, when the poo-poo was hitting the fan, when the disinformation was running rampant.
	And I remember the initial assessment that, you know, as bad as this was, all right, it was a protest that got a little rowdy.
	No harm, no foul.
	They were saying people had gotten killed, and then it turns out that the only people who had actually gotten killed, Ashley Babbitt, Roseanne Boylan, and they tried to pass Roseanne Boylan's death off as a drug overdose, and the deep dive into that, I believe it was the Epoch Times, determined that Roseanne Boylan's cause of death was attributed to drug overdose, but that they weren't distinguishing between Adderall medication and methamphetamines, and I don't know exactly what the chemical...
	The chemical distinction is, but that the media, which tried to claim dishonestly that Brian Sicknick was murdered by a group of pro-Trump supporters with a fire extinguisher, lies, lies, and more lies.
	Turns out he had a stroke shortly thereafter, which people say was as a result of what happened to him on the day of.
	Other people can hypothesize that it might have had to do with something else, but we don't need to go there, because bottom line, Brian Sicknick, who they said was murdered, was not murdered.
	Roseanne Boyland, who they said died of a medical emergency drug overdose, was arguably murdered, or at least died from police brutality.
	Arguably.
	There's a question there.
	Where there's not a question, Ashley Babbitt being summarily executed, shot point blank, unarmed.
	We had a break in windows and they're acting like buffoons playing stupid games, as you say, but typically, you know, the stupid prize you get for that stupid game is not a summary execution shot point blank in the upper torso.
	Then they try to blame some of the alleged suicides of the Capitol Police officers on the Trump crowd.
	Other than it being a protest that got a little bit out of hand, from day one, we were saying this was not as bad as the media was making it out to be.
	They've turned it into a mini Pearl Harbor, and we've seen how they've weaponized it, and we've seen subsequently how they might have made it happen, let it happen, or orchestrated the whole thing.
	You have the revolver, Darren Beattie.
	Who put out an amazing, amazing analysis of people who are bona fide feds, you know, like people who are alleged bona fide feds.
	Ray Epps, the man who's caught on camera the night before saying that people need to go into the Capitol.
	That, you know, that's where your problems lie.
	Orchestrating, facilitating, directing, taking credit for, as we've seen from the January 6th investigation, tweeting his nephew or his son afterwards saying, I orchestrated it.
	That guy.
	Was on the FBI's most wanted list, and then removed, and then goes years without facing any charges, and then after there's enough public outcry, faces one idiotic misdemeanor charge, even though what he did was exponentially worse that many of the grandmothers had done, allegedly, who were given some serious hard time.
	The lectern guy, Adam Johnson, the man who was charged with stealing a lectern, a lectern which was bigger than this, people.
	He became the face of the mockery of the regime, and they made an example out of him, charged him with theft of electrum because he moved it 20 feet and took a picture with it that made fun of the system.
	So it was a bona fide let it happen on purpose, made it happen on purpose, fed surrection, something along those lines.
	We don't exactly know how.
	Although we can and do know, I had Tarek Johnson on the channel, and he talked about how Yogananda Pittman was well aware of what was going to happen.
	They had plans of people online chatting about how they were going to take the Capitol.
	They knew damn well that people were going to be protesting because they got permits to protest.
	And yet, all that they had was an understaffed Capitol, did not ask for the National Guard, and bike racks to protect.
	That's all that they had after the summer of love, in which...
	Police stations were burnt.
	Courthouses were firebombed.
	I think.
	I don't want to get accused of disinformation.
	Police stations were taken over and firebombed.
	Entire areas were turned into no-go zones.
	CHOP, CHAZ, what do they call it?
	CHOP?
	I forget what the acronyms are for.
	After that summer of love, burning down cities, mass crime, mass murder, they have understaffed because of COVID bike racks, despite knowing exactly what had been planned, there was that Internal memo that had been circulated in D.C. in December.
	I forget the name of the memo, but Tarek Johnson, go watch my interview with that.
	I've tweeted that memo out numerous times.
	They knew exactly what was happening, and yet despite all of that, understaffed because of COVID, bike racks to block people out, and they did not request the National Guard despite that being offered by Donald Trump as per the evidence that was adjuiced in that Colorado hearing.
	Okay.
	What did CHOP stand for?
	It started...
	Oh, CHOP and CHAS started for acronyms.
	I forget what they were.
	So...
	There is no way that both the FBI and the CIA didn't arrange January 6th.
	Over 200 feds and undercover D.C. police were in the Capitol and escorted people around.
	You can't find anything at the Capitol without a guide.
	Dragon Slayer, I'll tell you what's even clearer as to why it was an FBI-CIA knee-hopper-lee-hop.
	They had infiltrated the Proud Boys, allegedly.
	And they had infiltrated the Oath Keepers, allegedly.
	That's how they got their seditious conspiracy convictions, because they had been infiltrated by informants in the months leading up to January 6th.
	So they knew that, you know, borderline domestic terrorist groups were planning violent insurrection.
	That's how they got the convictions for seditious conspiracy, because they had infiltrated for months prior to January 6th.
	And yet...
	FBI and CIA said nothing about January 6th.
	It's the biggest load of bullshit you can possibly imagine.
	To be told that they were ill-equipped, understaffed, ill-prepared is to treat you like the biggest idiot that they think you are because they think you're idiots.
	That's how they think they can get away with these lies over and over again.
	And then the aggregate knowledge of the interwebs puts it all together.
	Hey, FBI, we found your Ray Epps.
	And that guy doesn't face any charges.
	That guy's suing Fox News for defamation.
	Did Fox settle yet?
	Did they pay him what they pay the Dominion?
	And then only after the sufficient public outcry, because they can no longer hide it, they charge him with one misdemeanor crap.
	And then you got other people sitting in jail, rotting away in what is colloquially being referred to as the DC Gulag.
	Where there gets to be a bit of a problem with Jake Lane in particular.
	Is that some people say he was a rabble-rouser, he was a troublemaker, he was there doing bona fide violence.
	There is no question that there were people there doing bona fide violence.
	Whether or not their defense is going to be we were provoked by pepper spray, rubber bullets, and police officers that abused us first and therefore we retaliated.
	Alright, good luck with that defense.
	You hit a cop, even in self-defense, you're asking for big freaking trouble.
	Oddly enough, Ashley Babbitt, nowhere near anybody by anyone's account, bullet.
	To the chest, neck, torso.
	So people are saying Jake Lane is not a good example of a January 6th persecution victim.
	I don't know his story entirely.
	I know what I think I know.
	I know what people say.
	And the funny thing is when it came to Jake, I got people who I know on both sides infighting with each other, calling all sorts of names.
	People throw around the word grifter a lot.
	They throw around the word fed a lot.
	And I will...
	I have to be thoroughly convinced before I unironically use either of those terms, especially when the accused grifter, the accused Fed, has been sitting in pretrial detention for an extended period of time.
	When it comes to Ray Epps, I won't call him a grifter because I don't think he's creating drama to profit from it, but I will certainly think, be inclined to think that he's a Fed because he got the Fed treatment.
	When people were calling Jeremy McKenzie of Diagalon a Fed, I was like, Feds don't get...
	Put in solitary for two weeks.
	Feds don't get whisked up and put into jail for months on end, including solitary confinement.
	So when people call Jeremy McKenzie a Fed, I don't, I mean, don't take it with a grain of salt.
	I don't buy it.
	When people suggest somehow that Jake is a Fed, I mean, we've discussed this before, there's a number of ways anyone can be or become a Fed.
	You can start off as one or you can turn into one if you start feeding information like we allegedly, Enrique Tarrio, turned out to be a Fed or turned into a Fed.
	So I won't use those words.
	And if I do, it's going to be only after I'm thoroughly convinced.
	But there are some people who are saying, look, there's video evidence, there's photos of Jake being a troublemaker.
	Okay.
	I've said this before as well.
	At first, I was all, you know, nonviolent January Sixers pardoned.
	They need to be pardoned and have the political persecution remedied in as much as it can be remedied.
	As for the actual violent people there, okay.
	First of all, they're still innocent until proven guilty.
	I know this is a terrible thing, even when it comes to the Molotov cocktail lawyers.
	Innocent until proven guilty.
	And even if they are guilty of violence, the punishment should fit the crime.
	More important, the punishment should be commensurate with other people who are alleged guilty of assaulting police officers.
	You remember those five illegal immigrants in New York assaulted a police officer?
	Clear as day.
	Caught on camera.
	They were released on bail the same day.
	I'm not going to repeat what some people claim is a conspiracy theory or a disinformation that they were given tickets, bus tickets to California.
	One thing is for certain, other than the guy who, you know, the infamous picture of him flipping the middle fingers, allegedly he wasn't even one of the illegal immigrants who assaulted the officer.
	But the other ones did.
	And they were released from jail.
	I don't even believe that they had bail posted.
	So even if Jake Lane is guilty of assaulting police officers, The punishment should fit the crime and the punishment should be commensurate or correlative with other similar punishments.
	Those two Molotov cocktail-throwing New York lawyers got less of a punishment than Jake Lane's alleged assault on police officers.
	There's video stuff on the interwebs.
	People say, people send me stuff.
	First of all, people send me stuff and our local community says, I've got questions and I'm going to ask them.
	Not always going to be comfortable, but I'm going to ask them.
	And so there's one...
	There's one video which someone tagged me in.
	Bad acting informant vibes.
	An informant typically doesn't go to jail for three and a half years.
	So whatever the accusation is, that's sort of a bad one.
	We need one.
	You go back in there?
	We need a couple rounds.
	What do you need?
	Can you just give me a brief of what happened, man?
	Oh, I had a steel baseball bat.
	Fucking swinging for the stars.
	Bro, can you give me...
	Say it again?
	Jake Lange?
	J-A-K-E-L-A-N-G.
	Where are you at online?
	Instagram, Facebook.
	I've been saying Jake Lange?
	I own libertycentric.com.
	It's like Parler, but it's like an Instagram version.
	We give you freedom of speech, and we fight the fuck for your rights.
	Can you give me a brunch?
	What happened to you?
	This is an edited video already, but that's fine.
	Yeah, I'll do that.
	I just got out of the...
	So we were up there.
	I ran out of neutralizer.
	We climbed up the scaffolding.
	Then we got on that main area.
	Then we pushed him back.
	Then we charged the front.
	There's a double door, like, hallway.
	And so we broke the glass up, pulled the double doors, reached around in, pulled it open.
	And then it was like the movement of the trainers'hearts.
	It was a line of five guys, police officers, five of us, heave and hoeing.
	People were almost dying in between.
	Everyone is two forces pushing on each other.
	That lasted about an hour or two.
	Then they started hitting us with batons in the face, rubber bullet in the foot.
	Got real strong pepper spray.
	It's been 30 minutes.
	I can't open my eyes.
	And we started bringing out the metal rods and everything on these motherfuckers.
	Amen.
	by Patriot Rio Jake Lane What's your name, brother?
	So there's that.
	All right.
	Let's give the least charitable interpretation.
	He inflicted violence on the police officers.
	From this statement here, it sounds like what we all knew, whether or not there was provocation releasing pepper spray.
	We've all seen the videos.
	I mean, we've seen the very nice montage that they prepared for the January 6th committee.
	Worst, most uncharitable interpretation.
	He's guilty of assault on a police officer.
	That cannot justify what's going on.
	Now, that's the least charitable.
	I'm sure as hell I'm not going to call someone who's been sitting in a DC gulag for years a Fed, because he's the worst Fed on Earth that he is.
	A grifter, because there's not an amount of money you can pay a reasonable person to do that.
	Now, as I say that, I see the thing popped up in the background.
	It looks like it's only going to be an avatar.
	By the way, I've been saying Jake Lane instead of Jake Lang.
	My bad.
	Fishing Gear Fund.
	Thank you very much, Paul Freeman.
	Okay, I'm bringing in Jake.
	I don't know if he's going to be ready yet.
	Jake, if you're listening, you're ready.
	I'm bringing you in.
	Three, two, one.
	Stir, how goes the battle?
	The battle is the Lord's.
	It's not ours, brother.
	God bless you, Viva.
	Thank you for having me on.
	I'm really just excited to share my story as a Jan 6 political prisoner for 40 months with your audience.
	You're a great patriot, and I appreciate your platform.
	My pleasure.
	Give me one second.
	I want to make sure that the audio is not totally...
	No video.
	Don't worry.
	There's no video, people.
	How is audio?
	No video.
	How is audio?
	Okay, I'll give it a second.
	If someone tells me to jack up you or turn me down.
	Jake, I'm going to ask you, though, the first question that everyone's asking, because I was fishing one day listening to you doing a podcast with somebody, I forget who.
	How the hell are you in a DC gulag having access to phones, doing podcasts, having access to the internet, whereas I understood, like...
	That's either a privilege that many people don't get or I presume it's not illegal.
	So, this is by God's grace.
	I've been surrounded by such an amazing support system through January 6th.
	We have volunteers.
	I have a staff.
	And so, where there's a will, there's a way, Viva.
	Basically, the way that...
	All my podcast work and interviews is I call out to either my fiancee, Rachel, God bless her soul, or one of my assistants or one of the volunteers from the J6 groups.
	And they literally will put me on speakerphone, butt to butt with another phone to connect.
	Or they will patch it in through like tape a call app and they will just three-way call whoever I'm bringing on my podcast.
	And we just figure out a way.
	So I call into the jail phones and we three-way it to you like we're doing right now.
	Or we go butt to butt sometimes if we can't even get a three-way going, we get two cell phones.
	I mean, when you're a prisoner, if you know one thing about prisoners, they will fashion anything to make it happen.
	When you have time on your hands, you figure out how to make it happen.
	And I give God the glory for that because we have been able to reach.
	Tens of millions of people through these kind of MacGyvered methods.
	Now, having figured it out is one thing, and I don't want to get you in trouble.
	My main concern in doing this was not the internal drama that I've recently discovered, but I don't want to get you in trouble, and I don't want you to say something that's going to come back to bite you in the ass because you're awaiting trial.
	If it weren't allowed, they would have let you know by now.
	Well...
	First of all, I'm an open book.
	Everything I did on January 6th, I'm proud of.
	I think that the January 6th Patriots stood up against tyranny that day.
	We had peaceful intentions in our heart.
	We didn't bring weapons.
	I mean, you're talking about a group of conservative Republican Trump supporters.
	Probably 95% or more are gun owners, and so there was no guns in the crowd.
	Nobody brought weapons with them.
	My conduct on January 6th and my conduct thus far after January 6th, how I've been treated in the jails, how we've risen against the adversity through faith in God, through community, through unity, through love, mutual support, all these things are...
	I'm not a criminal that robbed a gas station.
	I have no problem talking about my case, talking about what happened on January 6th, and talking about what's plaguing our community and what's been happening the last three years and four months I've been incarcerated.
	Transparency is key.
	As Jesus says, what is whispered in the ear will be screamed from the rooftops, and the truth brings healing.
	I'm here today to just talk about the truth and let everybody in this audience know that We're up against lies.
	We're up against the devil's deception, and we can only arm ourselves with the truth.
	And so I speak in God's Holy Spirit, and let your own conscience confirm to you that the Holy Spirit's with me, which is the spirit of truth, not the spirit of error.
	You have a lawyer, right?
	Yes, I'm really blessed to have Stephen Metcalf, who's been my friend for a long time, based out of New York City, represented one of the main Proud Boys in the Proud Boys trial for six months, a grueling trial, the longest federal trial, I think, ever in history.
	He got a lot of weight underneath his belt there.
	We are scheduled to go to trial September 9th, 2024.
	My trial has been rescheduled four times now, so God willing, it does happen in September.
	Okay, we're going to get there in a second.
	But does your lawyer tell you not to do public interviews?
	I mean, you're making statements that, I mean, I assume the feds know everything.
	They have all the video footage from every angle, so they know what you did.
	They know what you said afterwards.
	But does your lawyer say don't do public speeches or don't make public statements?
	Well, this is very interesting.
	So in the very onset, obviously, when I was first incarcerated, arrested, kidnapped by the FBI, Unbelievably, on January 16th, 2021, about a week after January 6th, my lawyer was obviously very against interviews and speaking out about the case and stuff like that, but I told him, I said, We are fighting an information war here.
	The hearts and the minds of the American people have been completely brainwashed and tainted.
	You have people like Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz, and obviously every single Democrat calling us insurrectionists and violent domestic terrorists and extremists.
	And we need to get the truth out.
	They need to hear my voice.
	They need to hear the voice of all my brothers and sisters, 1,400 of us, that have been charged through January 6th so that we can win them back to the truth.
	Because the narrative that they obviously sold to us It's only through the amount of work that we've done as a community,
	the January Sixers, that we created a healthy enough environment where Donald Trump could come forward and now finally say he's going to parliament for the last three and a half years almost.
	He wouldn't have felt comfortable enough like the American people were on our side enough to be able to even say that he's going to pardon us.
	That's why he didn't say it years ago, because now is the right time.
	We have won back tens of millions of people who used to think wrongly about January 6th.
	They now see it as a...
	Great show of force of American unity, of peaceful, patriotic protesting.
	And what happens when you attack and kill Americans, we stand up and we don't run.
	We fight back.
	These colors don't run.
	And so that narrative that we've been pushing is the truthful narrative.
	January 6th was one of those times where people will look back 100 years from now and say free men stood against tyranny.
	We didn't do it armed.
	We didn't do it, even plan it.
	But we did it.
	And we went inside that building that day.
	The people were in the people's house.
	And that's just what it was.
	I mean, we didn't stay outside the building.
	We didn't run and cower when we were attacked brutally and mercilessly by the Capitol Police.
	We overran the redcoats and we ended up inside the building peacefully walking around, hanging out, most of us.
	I mean, I didn't get the opportunity.
	I was being, I was in like a Spartan warfare style.
	Match for three hours, trying to save people's lives and defend my own life and save this country from a communist coup d 'etat.
	But the history will show when we were pushed, when we were prodded, when we were attacked and murdered and bludgeoned, we didn't run.
	We stood up and we took the building.
	And it was an amazing, the symbolism is so historic.
	The American people are not sheep.
	We will not bow down and surrender.
	We will not eat the bugs.
	We will not cower to the New World Order, to the globalists, to the tyrants.
	If it comes down to it, we will rise.
	And that's what January 6th was just the smallest little thumb in the eye to the New World Order, to the deep state, to the shadow government, whatever you want to call them.
	We stood up without a single weapon, and we showed what we can do as United Americans.
	Very briefly, where are you from and how did you end up on the Capitol on January 6th?
	Say that again, brother.
	Sorry, I tried to listen through the prison film here.
	Very briefly, where are you from and how did you end up in D.C. on January 6th?
	Yeah, so I mean, this is important to later on what we're going to be discussing because...
	You know, the chronological details of my story.
	I'm one of 1400 January Sixers.
	I'm just another patriot out here.
	I'm from New York.
	I'm a serial entrepreneur.
	Started many companies.
	I've had successes.
	I've had failures.
	I've lived a crazy life for a young man.
	I'm 29 years old as of yesterday.
	I was 25 on January 6th.
	I came down from New York to Washington, D.C. with a group of Jewish protesters, I guess, and Jewish Trump supporters from New York City.
	They came in two buses, and I drove with the organizer, my friend Sam.
	They're just a bunch of great people.
	People from Hilal and Chabad.
	And, you know, I'm a born-again Christian, but my mother's Jewish.
	And so I have great roots in the Jewish community in New York.
	And these people, you're like your everyday meek, you know, yarmulke wearing, just great Jewish people.
	So we came down there together.
	And, you know, I've had a business meeting the day before on actually in my lawyer's office on Park Avenue with a payment processing company that I was partnered with for a business venture.
	And I was in slacks.
	I was in a dress shirt.
	I was in my nice leather jacket.
	You know, I'm from New York City.
	I'm not from, you know, I mean, I'm from Upstate, but I've been living in New York City for seven years.
	So I came dressed.
	Definitely than other Trump supporters.
	I didn't have on camo, you know, Carhartt stuff, but I came dressed how I dressed in Steve Madden leather boots and business slacks and a dress shirt and, you know, my black leather jacket.
	And I came with my Trump hat on and chanting, you know, it ain't over yet.
	We're still coming.
	The Trump supporters and the constitutionalists are going to stand here and protest this stolen election.
	Where did you get the baseball bat?
	I've got to ask questions.
	If you answer them, you're answering them at your own risk, but I'm going to ask them anyhow.
	Where did you get the baseball bat?
	So on January 6th, it seemed to just materialize.
	It was absolutely incredible.
	I'm not ashamed of having to use defensive mechanisms against armed tyrants, but it was actually, we've later found out, it was handed to me by a man named Josiah Kenyon, who was, you know, I guess he was an agitator.
	I don't even like using those terms and stuff, but in retrospect to hearing what he said, I've known him.
	I've done time with him, incarcerated with him.
	He's a tender soul.
	He's definitely a strange person.
	He walked around barefoot in the prisons and bragged about living under bridges and stuff like that, but God bless him.
	I love him.
	Yeah, I love everybody, Viva.
	I don't hold personal.
	You know, the guy has had all kinds of personal struggles with homelessness and addiction and stuff.
	But it's been later found out that, you know, he said he was there that day to have Trump supporters get hurt.
	Like that.
	And he was, you know, walking through the crowd, figuring out how to, I guess, set people up.
	In that given time and moment, though, I was not ashamed, and I'm still not ashamed, that when there were women being injured, people being...
	This will happen every now and again, everybody, so give it a second to catch up.
	Unless it has been permanently.
	Give it a second to catch up.
	I noticed from other interviews that Jake gives, there are patches of...
	Well, I...
	Okay.
	Until Jake gets back in, we're going to hear it.
	I can hear what everybody's thinking.
	Here he's back in.
	Let's bring it back in.
	Add to stage.
	All right, Jake, so we lost you.
	Are you back in?
	Give it a second.
	All right.
	Let me see if he can hear me.
	Jay, can you hear me?
	Hey, Viva, can you hear me?
	Sorry about that.
	Every once in a while, I have to hang up and reconnect here.
	I only have a certain amount of minutes on the jail phones.
	I've had my discussions with Canadian political prisoners, and there's a 20-minute time limit on each call, so they call me back right afterwards.
	I forget where you were, but basically, someone gave you the baseball bat at the event itself.
	Yeah, I was saying that it was handed to me by what we've...
	Ah, cripe.
	Oh, let's see what's going on in the chat.
	Well, there were a couple of rumble rants here.
	It says, one thing I haven't heard anyone address is what happened to Ray Epps' son.
	They had traveled to D.C. together, but I haven't heard anything regarding his whereabouts on January 6th.
	That is from...
	I'll see you until Jake gets back in here.
	That's from Cod Tongues.
	Omar Gonzalez says, make America ours again.
	Janeway says, your lectern is big enough.
	Don't let them tell you different.
	Yeah.
	Okay, Jake is back here.
	Hold on and see.
	Everybody deal with the audio problems, but we're going to make it work.
	Jake, I can hear you.
	Thank you.
	I'm sorry about that, guys.
	We're dealing with, you know, butt-to-butt phones and my assistants in foreign countries helping me out.
	God bless them.
	We arrived to January 6th without weapons.
	I mean, I don't even know where the baseball bat materialized from before Josiah had it or who brought it or whatnot.
	But at that moment, there were...
	People's lives at stake and they killed a woman in my arms, Roseanne Boylan, about 20 minutes, maybe less, 10-15 minutes prior to that defensive take that me and a group of men had to take.
	Whatever we had, we had to create basically a barrier.
	Between the Capitol Police who were murdering unarmed protesters and the rest of our fellow patriots.
	And so, you know, I got a hold of a riot sheet and I got a hold of, you know, a bat.
	And I used it to dissuade the Capitol Police from...
	Killing and injuring more people.
	I mean, you got to do what you got to do.
	I'm a man.
	I'm not a coward, God forbid.
	And when it comes time to stand up against evil, you know, I'm a prayer warrior.
	But when it comes time in the physical, you got to make a stand.
	And if you turn and run while people are being injured, innocent people, I don't know how you could look at yourself in the mirror.
	I couldn't live with myself if I let more people die without doing something.
	Did you attend Trump's speech or were you down at the Capitol building before the speech had ended?
	I listened to Trump's whole entire speech.
	I loved it.
	He was laying down an awesome indictment on all of the counties and how they flipped randomly in the middle of the night.
	When he said the explosions of BS line, I remember cheering and laughing.
	It was one of the most famous lines that day.
	There's video of me leaving the...
	The ellipse there, where the Washington Monument is, and in a sense of joy and adulation, I was doing back handsprings and running with a flag saying, "Freedom!" And it was awesome.
	We just haphazardly went down to the Capitol.
	I had no idea that that was even part of the plan.
	I was just there to hear Trump speak, and when he said that we're going down there to peacefully and patriotically protest, I said, let's go.
	I'm here for my country, and I'm willing to stand up and let my voice be heard.
	That's when the unthinkable happened.
	The Capitol Police unleashed an attack on us that left four unarmed patriots dead.
	I mean, I know Roseanne Boyland is alleged to, there's a disagreement as to whether or not it was a medical emergency or she was trampled and beaten by the police.
	Who are the other ones?
	There's Ashley Babbitt, and you're saying four, so who are the other two?
	So Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Philip, both men and their...
	I believe the reports that we now have access to are basically saying that those flash grenades and those concussion grenades landed somewhere near their feet.
	And they basically suffered a heart attack from the shock of being fired upon by the police that are supposed to be protecting us.
	And the medical reports about Roseanne Boylan are completely unfounded, fabricated nonsense.
	I literally was trying to save her life.
	She was in my arms as she was being soaked with pepper spray and tear gas and CS gas.
	She was being bludgeoned later on by Lila Morris, Officer Lila Morris.
	From a combination of her injuries, she succumbed to being trampled, to just being completely asphyxiated by all the chemicals that she used.
	And obviously being bludgeoned while she was fighting for her life, she succumbed and Father God called her home.
	One of my main motivations in a lot of my prison workouts and stuff is that I wasn't able to pick up Roseanne at that point.
	She was lodged underneath about three or four other people and I'm yanking on her and I'm popping up and there's a, you know, I guess a well...
	Spread video of me popping up from trying to yank on her, popping up with my hands up, screaming at the police in a frantic stopping motion like you're landing an airplane and pointing down.
	I just wasn't able to dislodge her, but I had to marshal my time and go and try to save another man.
	Phillip Anderson, who claims I saved his life in a video that is available everywhere.
	I was able to drag him down out of that situation.
	He was holding Roseanne's hand as she died.
	It was just...
	A horrible circumstance.
	You don't think when you're going to a political rally, you're going to end up, you know, in a life or death situation, people dying in front of you, dragging limp bodies, unconscious bodies out of, you know, a police riot, dog pile.
	And so, you know, but when it came time to take action, I was there to try to help people, help our country and help the injured, you know, wounded warriors that were standing shoulder to shoulder with me.
	The video that I played before you came in, where one of the statements you made the day of, and it's a video, it's on the internet.
	I'm not asking this question as an accusation, full stop.
	The question in that tweet was, you didn't mention anything about Roseanne Boyland at that particular, in that edited clip.
	Did you know that she died at the moment, the day of, or did you find out afterwards?
	Oh, I knew for certain, God forbid, that she was dead.
	Anybody that does their real research out there, there's clips of me literally moments later frantically...
	Going through the crowd at January 6th, grabbing people by the shoulders and screaming, they killed a woman, they killed a woman.
	And then later on that evening on my own Instagram, I posted some pretty inflammatory stories or Instagram posts saying, they killed a woman, this is war, they declared war on America, they killed a woman right in my arms, and I won't be backing down and stuff.
	So I knew Roseanne was dead, and that's pretty much why I took action later.
	Later on with the ride shield and the bat to create that barrier of men between the men and the women and the elderly that were there.
	I'm a young man.
	I was a college wrestler.
	I'm not going to just sit by as a uniformed force of redcoats to start bludgeoning and murdering people without doing something about it.
	I have to do something.
	What have you been charged with?
	I mean, maybe not go through all of them because there's a lot of charges, but what's the essence of your charges?
	Well, the essence of all January Sixers charges is political persecution and unfounded, ridiculous accusations against us.
	But, I mean, me particularly, I have the blanket political charge.
	It's a 20-year felony charge called obstruction of Congress.
	It's a very serious 1512 statute, it's called.
	Basically, this was like the weaponized tool, the instrument of political witch hunting that they used against me and 330 other Jan Sixers and Donald Trump.
	That case, as it stands, in five days, or maybe six days, will go in front of the Supreme Court of the United States.
	My legal team was the first one to appeal to the Supreme Court, Garrett Miller.
	Mr. Fisher joined in with that appeal, and Fisher's appeal was granted.
	And so we are slated to do the biggest showdown of the January 6th world here in six days in the Supreme Court, the opening argument.
	So that's one of my main charges.
	And then I have a slew of other charges, obviously.
	Assault on a police officer.
	Yes, of course.
	Jake, I didn't know this was where the conversation was going to go initially, and I'm not here to grill somebody on what they did when they've been sitting in jail for the last three and a half years, period.
	I can hear the people out in the chat saying, first of all, people say Fed, and they throw Fed around.
	I can hear people saying...
	Or maybe being critical of you because when you say things like, we were there to take the building back and, you know, exactly.
	No, we ended up doing that.
	We weren't there to do that.
	We ended up doing that.
	I mean, that's just historical reference.
	Look at the photos of January 6th.
	We ended up taking the building.
	I mean, we ended up flushing the tyrants out.
	They ended up running.
	The people were in the people's house and we were in there.
	I mean, how can you deny that?
	The people took the building.
	When they attacked us first.
	We refused to run.
	We overran the murderers, the tyrants, the socialists, the communists, coup d 'etat.
	And for just a little while, America was safe.
	And then the installment of the bought-and-paid-for communist puppet regime leader Joe Biden continued at 8 or 9 p.m. that night.
	I mean, it's just historical fact.
	We showed up to peacefully protest.
	They attacked us.
	We retaliated.
	We took the building.
	And then they flushed us out after a few hours of us meandering around in there.
	Well, see, the thing is that there's two, not competing narratives, but there are two sort of conflicting narratives.
	One is that it was a peaceful protest and there were only a handful of violent protesters.
	And that's where people come to blame those who were actually violent, saying the bulk of them were in there peaceful, doors were open, they weren't smashing windows.
	but it's because of a couple of hundred people who committed acts of violence, broke windows, that the other hundreds of thousands of protesters are now labeled as insurrectionists there Well, so here's the stance that is the truth.
	On the east side of the Capitol building, the doors miraculously opened and people were able to, like human beings, go inside and have their voices heard by our elected officials.
	For some reason, those people decided to run because they're guilty.
	They got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
	But on the west side...
	Give it a second, people.
	It's going to catch up with the audio.
	And it was on the left.
	On the west side is where he lost audio.
	Give it a second until he comes back.
	And everybody, if there's questions you think I should be asking, put them in the chat.
	Go to our locals community.
	This is where we have these open discussions.
	I think we might have had a little...
	We might be hiccuping again.
	While we wait...
	He's going to come back in a second.
	Okay, well, we'll do the Biltong because Biltong, king of Biltong.
	This is a $20, $30 rumble rant.

	Back in.
	Jake, sorry we lost each other again.
	You were saying on the west side and then that's where we lost you.
	Of course.
	Well, you had one side of the Capitol, famously Capitol Police officers taking selfies with Jan Sixers, fist bumping them, people saying with inside the red ropes.
	It was awesome.
	That's how people wanted to act that day.
	That's how I was acting until I got forced into a position to have to defend my life and defend other people's lives.
	And on the west side of the Capitol was the other side where famously concussion grenades were shot into a static crowd, where tear gas, canister, We're lobbed in there.
	Stinger balls, pepper ball bullets ripping through people's faces.
	Capitol police officers lunging over the bike barricades and hitting people with steel batons and dragging people over those bike barricades.
	And so you have the one side of Capitol where people...
	Just moved forward in a slow kind of like herd-like manner towards the steps of the Capitol and slowly went upstairs and then the doors opened and they went inside.
	And then you have the other side where we were forced to basically, we were being attacked and we were forced to defend ourselves.
	So, you know, the west side of the Capitol where I ended up inside that tunnel, you know, we walked into the tunnel at about 240.
	I was with a group of 100, 200 people.
	We wanted to go inside the Capitol building.
	There's no...
	Obviously, we were motioning and walking towards going inside.
	We were entering into a doorway.
	Some windows were broken open so some doors could be open that I had no part in, but I was there filming.
	I have, you know...
	Ah, crap almighty.
	Everyone, I'm not going to even try to clean this up when I put it up.
	We're just going to have to deal with it the way it is.
	But this is what happens when you do interviews with people in prison.
	So he's talking about it was a couple hundred people going in.
	And by the way, everyone in the chat, I see the people saying he's a fed, he's a fed, everyone's a fed, fed.
	And whether or not you think he's become a Fed because he's feeding information, whatever.
	Look, everybody knows these are not two mutually incompatible narratives.
	Everybody knows there were a handful of people there, either as agitators, agents provocateurs, or maybe good faith people who did stupid things that day.
	And there was a slew of other people who were not violent protesters.
	Everybody knows it because...
	We've seen the footage of the guy missing a part of his face because of a pepper spray ball or a plastic bullet.
	Sorry, Jake, we lost you at a couple hundred people wanting you to take the capital.
	Hey, Viva.
	I'm sorry, guys.
	Bear with me.
	Don't worry.
	You know, this is obviously the Gulag connection, and we're trying to...
	You know, get our voices out.
	And we're appreciative of everybody that bears with us and gives us the time of day to tell our side of the story, not the J6 Select Committee, Liz Cheney lies.
	And so, you know, it was no mystery that the protesters, myself included, wanted our voices heard, wanted to...
	We just wanted to be inside the processions that were going on that day, not to interrupt them, but to encourage our lawmakers to listen to our voices, the will of the people.
	We showed up in mass to have our voices heard, and we felt that our voices weren't being heard.
	And we basically...
	Advanced.
	You know, we did not see that the Capitol grounds were off limits.
	There was no sign postage.
	There was no dispersal orders.
	We moved forward.
	And like I said, I ended up inside that doorway and a kettle pot happened where you had a thousand people pushing from the back and the Capitol Police refusing to give way inside that tunnel.
	And the situation got deadly very quickly.
	I was videotaping for, like I said, in a journalistic capacity.
	I was there in the beginning to film for my social media website, libertycentric.com.
	That's like a Facebook for conservatives.
	And eventually I started screaming out on camera, on my own camera, the police are going to kill us.
	We're getting squished to death in here.
	We're going to die.
	Then the police started attacking us in that enclosed space with chemical weapons, with tear gas, with metal batons, with all kinds of manner of just assault.
	Eventually, I had to put my phone away, put my hands up, and start putting a space between the women that were there, the elderly men that were there, and myself to try to make sure that Capitol Police weren't killing people.
	I found myself in that tunnel for...
	Like two and a half hours trying to, you know, protect the lives of the people that were inside there with me, my brothers and sisters.
	Question is this.
	Did you have a criminal record before?
	From what I understand, you might have had some minor possession charge from before.
	Any violent charges prior to this event?
	No.
	People, he's not offended.
	He's just, they might have an audio issue.
	We're going to see when we get Jake back.
	And if it pops out and back in, we'll see what the answer is.
	So as I was saying, and when Jake gets back, we'll let him answer the question, obviously.
	The two competing narratives are not mutually incompatible.
	In fact, there were people there doing stupid things.
	And I would always, from the beginning, say, stupid people doing stupid things deserve a punishment that fits the crime.
	And not what Jake has gone through here for anybody who thinks he's a fed, you know, three years in jail.
	The question is this, Jake.
	Did you have any prior convictions before this?
	Say that again, Vivo.
	I'm sorry, brother.
	I'm trying to hear.
	There's a lot in the prison.
	No, don't worry about it.
	Had you had a criminal record before this?
	No, I had no criminal record before this.
	I got caught with pot in the Hamptons when I was 19 or 20 years old.
	I'm on 4th of July before, but I have no criminal record.
	And that was stricken.
	I was conditional discharged.
	So, I mean, no, I'm just a college wrestler and entrepreneur in New York City.
	I got involved in nightlife before.
	I was running pretty wild in the flesh.
	I was a sinner.
	And I'm saved by grace, by the blood of Jesus.
	And I'm born again.
	As of two months before January 6th, I was baptized.
	Sober on January 6th for a couple months and in my clear mind, right mind, walking in God's spirit, listening to our Father in Heaven tell us to stand up.
	I mean, what would our founding fathers done?
	What would, you know, the great patriots have founded this country done when faced with a communist coup d 'etat like that, a takeover of our country with a stolen election?
	I think we were very measured in our approach that day and very restrained.
	We showed great restraint.
	When did you get arrested?
	Ten days after January 6th.
	Ten days after, and you went straight into pretrial detention as of the time of the arrest?
	We might have lost him again.
	It gets very quiet on my end when we lose him, I think.
	Okay, we'll wait for him to come back.
	Okay, we'll give it a few seconds.
	And let me see if there's any question.
	Here we go.
	Stay strong.
	Keep the faith, Jake, from Norman Smith.
	We got a question.
	Jake is on video saying he climbed the scaffolding and charged the Capitol.
	How is that peaceful protest?
	And how are his own words not incriminating?
	I think his own words are incriminating.
	I suspect that's what they hung their hat on in terms of justifying extensive pretrial detention.
	I do have some questions about that because people have their questions as to whether or not As relates to the trial, his trial being postponed, why it's been so long, whether or not the postponement is his fault or not.
	The question that I have is nonetheless that we know that video footage had been not disclosed to the defendants, and so I won't blame anybody for not rushing to trial, as some did, and got a trial where they didn't have all the evidence.
	Jake, sorry.
	So you said that they arrested you 10 days afterwards.
	And my question was, you were in pretrial detention as of the moment of your arrest.
	Yes, I have not been afforded my constitutional right to bond.
	I've gone two times before the judge.
	I've been denied.
	And I tried just to go a third time a couple weeks ago, and Brooklyn Federal Prison, where I'm located, refused to send a representative.
	And the judge had to cancel the meeting.
	So, you know, we're talking about 1,180 days in pretrial detention.
	It's incredible.
	It's truly incredible.
	I should have been bonded out.
	Many of us Jan Sixers, we believe that we've been put on a list.
	Under no circumstances are you allowed to let these guys out of jail?
	They know too much information about the murder that is covered up of Roseanne Boylan.
	They have too strong of a case or too influential or whatever it may be.
	There's a certain number of us that You know, it just seems like picking numbers out of a hat at some point where some people got Bond and others didn't for, I mean, literally they're standing shoulder to shoulder doing the same exact thing with similar, you know, backgrounds and whatever, no criminal history type of people.
	And some of us just have been denied and we believe it to be some type of, you know.
	Strict, under no circumstances, this person getting bond that, you know, the feds really lean hard on the judges and, you know, they all go out to drinks together after court's over anyway.
	Who's your judge?
	Or does the judge change?
	I actually have, as far as federal district court judges go, I've been blessed.
	I have a Trump appointee, Judge Nichols.
	He originally dropped my 1512 charge, which is why, you know, when the prosecution...
	Push that up to the appellate court, and the appellate court overturned my judge's decision, and then we pushed it up to Supreme Court after that.
	So Mr. Nichols has made a couple good, sound judgment calls, but not letting me out on bond has put me at such a severe disadvantage.
	The entire weight of the U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, all of the, you know...
	I mean, floors and floors and teams of people that they have working on our cases compared to somebody like me who's been in solitary confinement for...
	Two years of my incarceration, moved to 15 different prisons, had my discovery evidence and my hard drives and my legal documents destroyed and shifted around and had to re-acclimate to 15 different prisons.
	It's like David and Goliath.
	They have every means at their disposal and the January Sixers have been parsed out and persecuted.
	We're relying on the House subcommittee on oversight to release us 5,000 hours of video at a time on Rumble three and a half years later.
	What about my 1,000 Jan Sixers that have been adjudicated already that did not have access to this exculpatory evidence?
	That's a mistrial.
	That's a Brady violation.
	That is a due process violation.
	Why are we waiting?
	Years later for the Jan 6 video to come out, you can't go to trial without all your evidence.
	How can you exonerate yourself without seeing all the clips?
	The question that I had, Jake, was when you were denied bond, did the judge bring up or did the prosecution cite the video clips of you saying what you did on the day of?
	Oh, of course.
	My bond hearings read like a completely, I don't know, like the worst liberal hit piece article ever.
	The prosecutors allege and try to use everything against you.
	And, you know, my formation of an armed group of patriots after January 6th to defend this country, from my posting on social media to my interviews that I've been doing recently to my conduct on January 6th to...
	Everything.
	I mean, one of the main reasons they say that they're holding me is that I want others to commit violence, but I've done maybe 700, 800 interviews, and I've only spoke to peace of God and the love of our country over the tens of millions of people that I've spoken to.
	I've never said, hey, anybody listening to my voice right now, I want you to get your nearest thing and go do something.
	I've had the means, but I've not exercised those means because that's not in my heart.
	We're fighting a spiritual war here.
	We're not fighting against flesh and blood.
	We wrestle against principalities and against darkness in heavenly places.
	And so their accusations are completely unfounded, the governments and many other peoples.
	But this is just your everyday, I guess, I mean, it's become an everyday situation, Good conservative individuals.
	They did it to Peter Navarro.
	They did it to Steve Bannon.
	They're doing it to Trump.
	They've done it to 1,400 of us.
	They're able to get away with it because the courts are slanted.
	The entire process is slanted towards...
	Your liberal Democrat defendants.
	If I was a Black Lives Matter protester and did the same exact thing I did on January 6th, I'd have been out within a day, out on bond, offered a three-year probation plea deal, and we would have been on our merry way.
	But because we stand up for Constitution, because we're patriots, Republicans, Libertarians, they are coming and hammering down on us.
	And it's just a two-tier justice system, Viva.
	No, I mean, I have no disagreement with that, and I'm prepared to even say if you're guilty of the worst things they accuse you of, this is still excessive and disproportionate.
	Why did you spend, or why did they put you in solitary for such extensive periods of time?
	So...
	Me and all the January Sixers that are incarcerated in 2021 had to go through the worst COVID tyranny.
	If you think it was bad being in Chicago or New York or LA or whatever city you're from or, God willing, you're from a rural area, it wasn't that bad.
	If you think it was bad not being able to go into your favorite restaurant or go watch a movie or go to yoga or whatever you do because of COVID, imagine being locked in a cell for 23 hours a day for six months.
	And then 22 hours a day for another three months and then 21 hours a day for another three months.
	And so we went through solitary confinement forced on us the first time of incarceration without haircuts, without religious services, without most of the time direct access to sunlight, without family visitation, without video visitation, without access to legal libraries, without being able to see our attorneys, without doing a 14-day quarantine, without being able to shave.
	We did a year of hard time.
	The Gen 6 Patriots did that year with me.
	You guys are rock stars.
	You are absolute the strongest people on earth, and I commend you.
	He'll be back in a second.
	I just want to tell everybody, unless people out there think that this guy is such a fake that he's not actually in jail, that he's not really who he says he is and who his lawyer says he is and everything, for people in the chat, I don't know how they're not more broken.
	This is not just Jake in particular.
	I've interviewed a number of people who've gone through this process.
	I can understand people thinking that this is the bad representative of the group, but people have to put things in perspective here.
	I'll bring Jake back in.
	Jake, okay, so you were talking about...
	The amount of time you spent in solitary.
	Yeah, the first year was practically all prisoners went through it.
	We got hit a little bit harder because we're Jan Sixers.
	You know, they were giving leniency and leeway to the COVID lockdowns to the other inmates in the D.C. jail a lot more.
	They were being extremely stringent on the January Sixers.
	The first year or two in the D.C. jail gulag, you know, that is all the guards there are, you know, bleeding liberals.
	They're like they wore their Camilla Harris shirts into the prison sometimes, and they loved watching us squirm through.
	Just arbitrary enforcement of the million-page rulebook there and the COVID lockdowns.
	If you refuse to take a COVID nose swab, you have to do 14 days in the cell, only get out for a 10-minute shower every three days.
	They loved coming to us with all that garbage nonsense.
	And so the first year...
	I also got some times where I was sent to the hole for organizing the January Sixers, for trying to lead Bible studies, for trying to get out of our cell to be able to worship together, for showing a Bible and some family pictures to another inmate.
	I got pepper sprayed and tossed in the hole for three months before.
	I've been in the hole, which is the real deal solitary confinement, where you're locked not with the other Jan Sixers.
	You're in the basement of D.C. Jail.
	I've done over a year in that area as well, too.
	About six months, my first year in D.C. Jail, and then I came back in 2023, and I did practically a whole year in D.C. Jail in 2023 as well, too.
	Most of that in the hole.
	Again, just trying to...
	Don't ostracize me from the January Sixers because of the organizational work we do.
	We're so strong on that front.
	The prayer groups, the protests, the documentaries, the podcasts, the interviews, the fundraising, the powers that be.
	The U.S. Marshals, the FBI, the U.S. Attorney's Office, they want to try to single out the leaders like they did to Joe Biggs and Enrique Tarrio and all these awesome Proud Boys and Oath Keeper types and put them in solitary and keep them away from the core group of the Jan Sixers.
	And, you know, they put me in that category and tossed me in the hole.
	I mean, I didn't get into childhood, but do you have siblings?
	Are your parents still alive together?
	Do you speak with them often enough?
	Ah, Viva.
	I'm so blessed, man.
	I've got such an amazing family, an all-American family of love and support.
	My father, Ned Lang, has been unequivocally like the dad of the Jan 6 movement.
	He's just been a rock for all of us.
	The first year of our incarceration, before there was a...
	A single organization, a single 501c3, an LLC, before the whole entire community really got organized like the last two years.
	It was my dad and a few other individual donors that were taking care of people's commissaries and doing the right thing.
	And my mom's steadfast.
	They're Trumpers.
	They're awesome people.
	My dad's Christian.
	He taught me how to pray.
	He taught me how to love God.
	He taught me to be a good man.
	I strayed from that, like I said, from 18 years old to like 25 when I was club promoting and just being an absolute flesh-driven man.
	But his lessons that he taught me in my young adulthood and throughout my life, they've come back now.
	Grateful to have him as a father.
	I have a beautiful fiancée, Rachel, who's a Jan Sixer.
	She's a complete savage.
	God bless her.
	She was in the Capitol for 12 minutes.
	She's such a beautiful woman and loves God and is steadfast and loyal to me.
	I've got a sister, Lexi, who fought in the Israeli army.
	She's a doctor.
	She's like the good egg.
	I'm blessed.
	I've got a great family.
	I've come from a great area.
	My dad's well off.
	He's worked hard his whole life.
	He's an entrepreneur and taught me to be an entrepreneur and make my own way.
	I'm blessed.
	I've got the best family I think a person can ask for, and they're so supportive of me.
	Okay, and then the question is this now.
	So you're in jail.
	Your trial has been postponed how many times now?
	Three or four?
	Four times.
	Yep.
	Postponed for various different reasons.
	The latest being that my main charge is going before Supreme Court.
	So if Supreme Court strikes it down and I just went to trial with it on, then I'd have to have a complete retrial and it would just be not in the best interest of justice.
	And, you know, there's many reasons.
	We haven't had our exculpatory evidence.
	The government knows every federal asset, every confidential human source, every DHS, Department of Homeland Security officer, every single park police, every FBI, every CIA asset and federal agent that's in that crowd.
	And I want to know, were any of them with an eye shot of me, with an arm shot of me, were any of them near me?
	Were they in the tunnel with me?
	What did they do?
	Did they incite the crowd?
	Did they do things to orchestrate January 6th?
	Because the government's not telling us, which is...
	Our Brady material right, our exculpatory evidence right, and so we've got independent investigative journalists that have to find all this out.
	Epic Times and Gateway Pundit and all of you awesome podcasters and video sleuths out there.
	The government's not telling us the full story, so how do you go to trial without knowing, you know...
	You go to trial with 10% of the truth and you don't get the other 90% for three and a half years until, you know, if I went to trial, let's say four months, five months after January 6th, I'd have 1% of the information that's currently available to me right now in the setup of January 6th and the police brutality of January 6th and all that we've exposed.
	And so in the best interest of justice, not in my best interest, but in the best interest of exonerating myself from these fabricated...
	Ridiculous charges.
	There's been many reasons why we haven't been able to go to trial.
	We're fighting for change of venue, which is extremely important.
	I have change of venue polling data that j6legal.org, my organization, was able to get from Triton polling that shows some of the most...
	There's a biased jury pool available, I believe, in the country.
	And if you want to pull that up, I don't know if you can pull it up.
	I can't really see what we're doing here.
	But if you go to j6changeofvenue.com, you can see this data that says, you know, 86.4% of Washington, D.C. residents believe January 6th was an insurrection.
	80% believe it was an act of domestic terrorism.
	50% believe that we should be given the death penalty or life in prison.
	As defendants, as protesters, no matter what we did on January 6th.
	And so these different legal actions that we're taking, we're still fighting for change of venue.
	We are still fighting the 1512 charge, going to Supreme Court in six days for it.
	We're still fighting to get all my exculpatory evidence.
	You know, if need be, God forbid, if I have to sit in prison in order to get the best environment, the best amount of data, and the best pretrial motions available and fight this litigation before I go to trial, which 90% of winning a federal case is in pretrial motions.
	That if I have to sit in prison, God forbid, without bond even, and fight this battle the right way in order to exonerate myself, I will.
	It's not my choice.
	I'm doing it under coercion.
	I'm doing it under these inhumane living, cruel and unusual punishment living conditions.
	But at the end of the day, winning is all that matters, and the truth is all that matters.
	And so the postponement of my trial, which is one of the questions out there, obviously, has been equal parts of the government.
	I had the 1512 charge removed from me.
	The government made the decision, which my Judge Nichols yelled at the prosecutor saying, because they were making the same argument in court a couple months ago at a status conference.
	They're like, Mr. Lange is agreeing to postpone his trial in some ways.
	I said, no, I'm not really agreeing.
	I'm doing it under duress.
	But anyway, in the best interest of justice, I do have to.
	You say that there are certain reasons why I can't go to trial yet because we have pretrial motions still pending.
	We have 1512 still pending.
	But then the judge yelled at the prosecutor and said, I was the one who dropped Mr. Lange's 1512 charge.
	It was your decision, the prosecution's decision, to appeal my overturning of his charge to the appellate court, which they then struck down my decision.
	And now we're ending up at Supreme Court, which is pushing Mr. Lange's trial off for an entire year.
	So if you wanted...
	To take him to trial as quickly as possible.
	You should have let my decision to remove the 1512 charge stand.
	It's your fault that Mr. Lang's not going to trial.
	So he smacked down the prosecutors and my lawyers and me, we looked at the prosecutor and we just put our hands up in the air like you can't blame him.
	His logic's correct.
	If you guys would give us the exculpatory evidence, we're entitled to.
	Of all federal assets, of all agitators, of all police brutality incidents, on January 6th, if you would give us that access, because you have teams, hundreds of people that have reviewed this evidence, you have it all.
	If you'd give us that access, and you wouldn't fight our pretrial motions for change of venue, which is obviously, we need one.
	The numbers show unequivocally insurmountable evidence.
	You're not getting one.
	I mean, the bottom line is they're not doing it.
	We've discussed this with Barnes.
	The bias of these venues is, Palpable and undeniable, but you're not getting one.
	Exactly.
	And so it's really the government's, I mean, just blatant hard-headedness and unwilling to cooperate in order for the best interest of justice.
	I keep using that term because it's a legal term.
	My best interest is different than the prosecution's best interest, but both of those are supposed to meet in the middle for the best interest of justice.
	If you have a biased jury pool...
	That is, I mean, so slanted that you're saying 70% of the jurors, according to the data that we collected through Triton polling, are saying that no matter what somebody did on January 6th, they deserve prison time.
	That means old grandmas that were 100 yards away, who never even...
	I mean, these people have a blatant and inherent and deep-seated prejudice against Donald Trump and his supporters and January 6th protesters.
	And so it's really the onus is on the government in all these reasons why my trial has been delayed so long.
	But you know what?
	At the end of the day, if we have to do what we got to do to get the win, we will do it, including...
	40 months incarceration without a trial.
	Well, people are going to say that, first of all, non-violent, innocent people are getting convicted.
	People are going to say, you're going to get convicted.
	It's sure as the day is long.
	There's no question about it.
	And so people are going to say, well, spending time in pretrial detention will count one and a half.
	What does it count for?
	One and a half or two times?
	It depends on your conditions, like COVID.
	23 hours a day, lockdown.
	In some places, that can be counted as three times that you've done really three years in prison because you've done one year on 23 hours in one because of that.
	But that's up to the judge.
	And so, you know, this pretrial detainment that I've been subjected to is not normal.
	As far as the rights that you're supposed to be afforded, as a pretrial defendant, first of all, you're supposed to be afforded bond.
	Liberty is the norm, which is like the statute right out of the law code.
	But you're also supposed to be afforded incredible more rights.
	You're innocent until proven guilty.
	You should have full access to video visitation, to all different manners of religious services, law libraries.
	I mean, the only thing that they're there to do is to make sure you show up to your court case.
	So all other liberties should be afforded to you.
	We should have never been in solitaries and no family visits, no haircuts, no sunlight, all this nonsense.
	So you have to understand, we were not convicted criminals.
	We're wrongfully convicted January Sixers, but for years, most of us in pretrial detention were not convicted, so they're treating innocent American accused like worse than Gitmo prisoners, and so that was wrong.
	Jake, I was going to say, even if you were convicted, solitary confinement is torture, period.
	Some people out there are going to say, acting up as if that's a possible justification, but have you been offered any Any deal?
	No plea to tyranny.
	Plea deal is a dirty word in my household, Viva.
	We're fighting against an ideological evil that if we compromise to it, which that's what the plea deal is.
	You sign a contract, you compromise with the enemy.
	In this scenario, there's no amount...
	They're trying to use us as...
	Political fodder to get Trump.
	And all of our plea deals, in some way, nature, or form, have language in them that we must renounce our political beliefs, turn on Trump, blame it on him.
	He told us to go to the Capitol.
	All this nonsense lies.
	And so I never even entertained a plea deal.
	They offered me nine years' plea deal three years ago, and I told them, you know, no pleaded tyranny.
	I can't imagine ever signing a contract with my enemy.
	Okay, and now...
	I mean, I don't want to ask what your defense...
	I know you've pleaded not guilty.
	The statements are there.
	I mean, is the argument going to be provocation, self-defense?
	Like, what's the idea based on public statements you've already made?
	The idea...
	I thank you for that question.
	The idea is multifaceted.
	It's a novel legal argument that is based off of our Declaration of Independence, first and foremost.
	Americans have the right...
	To defend their country against tyranny.
	Point blank period.
	That is our right.
	That is ingrained into our Second Amendment, into our First Amendment, into our founding documentation.
	And obviously, we were there for peaceful means.
	But when a Capitol Police force, and this is a federal law enforcement agency completely removed from our normal, you know, sheriffs that come get your cat out of a tree or bring like a drunken teenager home and drop them off the front porch at their parents' house.
	These are people that hate flyover country.
	They hate Republicans.
	They hate conservatives.
	And they were there to inflict pain upon us.
	And they were there, the Capitol police officers, to be the Gestapo, to be the redcoats protecting the communist coup d'etat that was happening inside the building.
	And so my first and foremost legal argument is if I had a reasonable preponderance, a The election was stolen, that our country was being sold down the river to Joe Biden, who's bought and paid for by the CCP, who is a gun grabber, who is against freedom of speech rights, then we have the right to stand against that, no matter what.
	Even if it's just peacefully using our voices and waving flags and refusing without saying we revoke our consent to this election, send the votes back to our state legislatures, and listen to the will of the people.
	It is we the people.
	Who ordain and give this government its power.
	And without our consent, it is tyrannical.
	And so that's the first and foremost legal defense.
	Do we have the right, when attacked, when our country's election is stolen, when our voice is stolen as a people, do we have a right to stand up against it?
	And that's the first defense.
	And obviously, I was in self-defense that day and I was in defense of a third person, which is...
	The second and third prongs of the defense.
	People were being injured around me.
	I had to do something about it.
	I, myself, was injured critically.
	I was shot with a rubber bullet in my foot, broken foot, bludgeoned over the skull.
	My head split open, bleeding everywhere.
	My life was in danger.
	Every human being has a right to defend themselves.
	So I have a three-pronged approach to my trial that is, I think it's novel in its approach because At the end of the day, I did what I did.
	I was caught on camera in 10 different angles.
	I posted it on my social media.
	God is my witness.
	I'm not a violent person.
	I'm a spiritual warrior.
	I pray before I do anything, especially something of that nature.
	I was praying on the Capitol steps of Coy Griffin, my brother, before I went back into the tunnel to defend this country.
	It's unfortunate that...
	Men, at times in our history, have to take matters in their own hands and defend freedom.
	It just happens.
	The blood of patriots and tyrants is what keeps this tree of liberty alive.
	Now, I know people are in the chat saying, you know, this is the type of speech that gives the lefty media the talking points that they want to characterize the entire protest as an insurrection.
	And I mean, I can steal, man, your answer, but your story is what you did.
	You're not going to lie about it, and you can't lie about it because it's on camera.
	And so the accusations of you being a Fed, I mean, again, like...
	This is not how feds get treated.
	It's ridiculous.
	I mean, that's the dumbest thing in the world.
	I ran for Congress against AOC as a conservative independent in 2020.
	In July of 2020, I'm out in 100-degree weather during COVID season.
	Talking to residents in Queens, New York about the freedom of speech and gun rights and stuff.
	I own a libertarian freedom of speech website.
	I've been an activist on social media against New World Order and abortion and adrenochrome and Rothschild Central Banking for years before with tens of thousands of followers.
	I mean, it's just dumb.
	But, you know, God bless people.
	They're grasping.
	I admire the spirit because they want to get a win.
	They're grasping for anything, and they're not giving up.
	I guess if they think if they point fingers at enough people and call everybody a Fed, they may find one or two.
	My personal belief is that the people calling people the Feds are more likely to be the Feds because they just sow discord among a community.
	I know you want to talk about the fundraising.
	I know it's a source of friction for the people who use that as something against you.
	There's a number of fundraisers that you're involved in, one for your own defense and one for your spearheading.
	I don't have one.
	I do not have one for my own defense.
	Okay.
	I'm very blessed.
	Like I said, I come from a great family and my father is extremely supportive of me.
	And so I haven't been put in the position where I need commissary money or phone call money or legal defense money.
	I'm very blessed.
	It made me, with my background, and I used to be a seven-figure business e-commerce owner, and I'm a social media marketing guy.
	And so, with all of those things put together, and my love of righteousness, and I try to walk an upright life.
	I'm not perfect.
	I'm just a humble servant of the Lord Jesus.
	I just said, you know what?
	I'm going to start the fundraisers.
	I know how to do it.
	I'm capable.
	God will bless it if I put my hand towards it.
	And so we've raised $1.2 million for the Jan Sixers.
	And I sent you, through my assistance, the email system that I have in the jail here, I sent you a DM recently, I think before our communications here started our interview, breaking down an approximate breakdown.
	Do you want me to cut and paste this and share it with everybody?
	Yes, that's approximate.
	We have two different independent CPAs.
	I have no problem.
	The numbers are going to be off by a couple $10,000.
	It wasn't to get...
	It was a DM.
	I'll share the links.
	If you're not...
	I don't want to share anything that anyone's going to use as an excuse.
	There's a Gibson...
	I run my organizations and stuff.
	Most of the time, I don't get to see what's...
	We're sending out money in the hundreds of thousands some months to lawyers, to families, to commissary accounts and stuff like that.
	And so what matters to me is the work gets done.
	And all the accounting and bookkeeping, it's there.
	We've been doing it.
	I have a spreadsheet for every single month and stuff.
	Actually, here's my number one proof as of right now that we're legit.
	Back about three or four months ago, an attorney, God bless his heart and soul, Bill Shipley, attacked my Give, Send, Go account claiming that I had stolen artwork or something from him.
	God bless him.
	And Give, Send, Go put my account under audit and we had to send them a full transparency report of bank statements and everything.
	Basically, I was able to bring money in, but I was not able to take the money out of my give, send, go.
	We talked with the CEO.
	These people have loved me for years because we've been one of the only Gen 6 organizations that's been super forthright in everything that we do.
	And the CEO called up my lawyer, called up my dad, said, Look, you know, this is just part of protocol and procedure.
	We trust you guys.
	You guys are cream of the crop type of people.
	And they went through all of our stuff.
	And they then, whatever, blocked my account because they even sent us an email and stuff.
	So I don't spend my time battling other conservatives and other crazy people.
	God bless them.
	I spend my time...
	Like March, we put 200 points on the scoreboard.
	We went from 800 sponsors on SponsoredJ6.com to 1,000 sponsors.
	We're at $40,000 a month right now that we bring in through SponsoredJ6.com that goes right out to the commissary accounts of Patriots.
	If I spent all my time bickering on social media and answering all this stuff, there wouldn't be wins happening.
	We wouldn't be filing the J6ClassAction.com lawsuit that I'm sure everybody's seen some of the viral videos of us serving.
	I haven't seen them, but I hear that the guy's face, Thomas Tobias, the lead counsel, lead attorney.
	Viva, if you could pull that up, it's the best video online.
	Most satisfying video of 2024.
	Give me the words to find it.
	I wouldn't have time to do these things.
	What's that?
	What's the video?
	It's on my Twitter.
	My team posted it on my Twitter.
	It's probably from about seven, eight days ago now.
	And it's a video of us serving the lead attorney, the general counsel for the US Capitol Police in his home.
	And his face apparently is like one of shock and awe.
	And so, you know, I'm over here.
	Doing interviews, trying to stay alive in federal prison, trying to keep my body and my mind healthy, reading the Bible, working out, managing relationships with my friends, family, and media contacts.
	I run a business called BlessNewsTV.com.
	I run LibertyCentric.com.
	I run a million-dollar organization for fundraising.
	I do the J6 Change a Venue.
	I have my own legal case I'm fighting.
	I have the Political Prisoner podcast.
	I have a million things I'm doing.
	My fight with Kyle Seraphon, I don't have one.
	I've never even had an interaction with this former FBI agent.
	My fight with Bill Shipley, my fight with Tim Hale, Cindy Hughes, Steve Baker is non-existent.
	I don't have one with them.
	I love them.
	I support all the work they do.
	Appreciate transparency from all of your guys' work.
	As I fight to give you guys mine from a jail cell, I've been transparent three times on the Gateway Pundit.
	We have released full transparency documents.
	Jim Hoff completely supports and backs us.
	If you guys go to thegatewaypundit.com and type in J6 Transparency, you will see our transparency documents.
	The community at large knows who we are.
	There are some fringe elements that have been embittered by God knows what.
	It seems like a hypnotism into calling me a fed, into calling me a grifter, into calling me all these things.
	Meanwhile, I've done years of solitary confinement.
	By the grace of God, I got stronger and keener and clearer and more full of love and less prone to infighting.
	My growth is before America.
	I was a club promoter.
	I was a shallow person.
	I'm now somebody that humbly tries to serve others.
	And my documentation's all there.
	The receipts are here.
	Those who have spoken ill against me with unfounded claims, I believe will stand before God one day and have to answer for those.
	But I just look for reconciliation.
	I have nothing.
	No problem.
	Kyle Serifin, you're awesome.
	God bless you for speaking out against the FBI.
	Tim Hale, you're a Jan Six Patriot brother of mine.
	I don't care.
	What your Aunt Cynthia organization, if you guys raised $10 million or you raised $0 this year, God bless you.
	I hope it's closer to $10 million than it is to $0.
	I hope that you guys only spend 10-20% on your staffing costs.
	Advertising costs, as I try to keep mine down to around that range, not 40%, 50%.
	I pray that everybody's transparent and wholehearted and moves forward.
	I have no problems with any of you guys.
	Steve Baker, last time I spoke, we were doing an interview.
	Where's this con man garbage coming from?
	You don't know me.
	You have no idea who I am.
	I'm a Jan 6th patriot.
	Just so you know, all of the names you mentioned, I had no idea that there was any.
	I've known some of these people from Twitter.
	I had Baker on the channel.
	I have no knowledge of anything.
	I didn't know there was this infighting until I started seeing some tweets and some questions up in Locals, and I don't like getting into this stuff.
	But unless you're not a real human, you're not actually sitting in jail right now, if you are guilty of the worst things they say you are, and I have no doubt you go to trial, it's not going to end well, that does not justify what's being done to you, period.
	And whether or not people think what you're saying now is going to make other peaceful protesters look bad...
	You can't lie for what's on camera.
	You're explaining what you did in as bad a judgment as it was or as an unremorseful recounting that you have now.
	And I just don't want to get into the info.
	So everyone's heard your story.
	Sir.
	I'd do it again if our country needed us, man.
	I mean, what are we doing in this country if we're not willing to stand against tyranny and against evil?
	I'm not saying show up to the Capitol with a baseball bat.
	I surely didn't.
	I showed up with prayers in my heart.
	But when the situation arises, you've got to be willing to do what is necessary to defend this country.
	If you have this mindset that you are...
	In submission to the tyrants and that there are certain levels that you're not willing to go to to defend this country, they will use that against you.
	They will pull your card, as we call it in prison, and if you're not willing to go the full measure for liberty, liberty or death, 1776, style patriot, then they will pull your card and they will push you to the brink and you will end up with social credit scores like China, facial recognition tracking, and a complete society of sheep.
	You're either one or the other.
	You're either willing to go liberty or death, or you have limits.
	And just like Patrick O 'Keefe said, or James O 'Keefe, sorry.
	He's so Irish, I want to call him Patrick.
	James O 'Keefe said, what's your price?
	If it's not death, if your price is not willing to die for truth and liberty, then you have a price and you are viable.
	And mine is 1776, Founding Fathers style, all or nothing.
	And I'm not ashamed of it.
	And God, forgive me if I'm wrong.
	I'll ask a stupid question.
	You haven't heard from Team Trump or anybody politically connected?
	We have heard...
	Not myself personally.
	We've heard from the January Sixers three weeks ago that we're getting pardons, God willing, when Big Daddy Trump comes into office.
	So that's great.
	Trump has played 5D chess.
	I've been critical of his distance from the January 6th movement thus far because I believe like Martin Luther King would have been linked armed and armed with our family members and walking down the streets of Washington, D.C. with 400,000 people behind him saying we shall overcome, free the Jan.
	I've done 40 months of prison, and just now we're hearing that we're going to be getting pardons.
	But in his defense, he had to wait, the 5D chess style, until the atmosphere, the American people were ready to hear a tweet from Trump that he's going to pardon the Jan Sixers.
	Because if he did that three months after January 6th, it would have been Career suicide.
	And now that the truth has come out through brave investigative journalists like my friend or former friend or whatever you want to call them, Steve Baker and all these guys, awesome people, Joe Hanneman and Julie Kelly and all these awesome people out there.
	Some of them don't like me, but I love you guys.
	You guys do the hard work, and you've made the atmosphere possible, along with the Jan Sixers and our family members and this whole community, working in one body in Christ.
	Not everybody's a hand.
	Not everybody's a foot.
	Not everybody's an eyeball.
	Everybody has their own role to play.
	And we've worked as a community to win the narrative back.
	And that's all that matters to me.
	I don't care about the infighting.
	I don't have time for it.
	For anybody who says Trump shouldn't pardon the violent, I started off on that line as well, but seeing the way even the violent ones have been treated, there's nothing on earth that can justify this.
	And now you look back and you look back at some of the Weather Underground people who got pardoned, and you look back at some of the more questionable pardons, I can sort of understand contextually where you might have had an environment where there was no fair trial possible, but this is light years different than some of the other very questionable people who have received pardons.
	And so I've evolved on that.
	Oh, Jake is down.
	I hope he's not gone for good, but everyone, I'll share my thoughts with you.
	If this man is guilty of what he's accused of, the punishment that he's already served or the punishment that has been inflicted upon him is already enough.
	And some people are going to say, well, he's not apologetic.
	He's not remorseful enough.
	Well, what is it?
	Contrition?
	It might be an attenuating factor.
	But if the goal is you'll sit in jail until you say, I love Big Brother, it's not going to happen.
	The punishment still has to fit the crime.
	Jake, sorry, I think we lost you there.
	I had to redial in anyway, so I'm back, guys.
	God bless.
	Continue, brother.
	I was telling the world what I think.
	Even if you're guilty of what you're accused of, and even if you don't have contrition and you're not apologetic and you're not saying, I love Big Brother, what you've been put through...
	Assuming it's all true, and we live in a world where we can't even believe our own eyes and ears sometimes, assuming it's true, it's torture, it's inhumane, it's not something...
	For the people that clamor for criminal justice reform to revel in what's being done to you and the other January Sixers is atrocious and it's un-American.
	How do you get through the days maintaining your sanity?
	Or have you maintained your sanity?
	I'm trying to be glib.
	Have you maintained your sanity?
	Oh, God willing.
	We've grown in grace, brother.
	There's a certain grace that you receive under fire, under pressure.
	God's ability to just lend His presence, to sew up the cords of your mind.
	I've had some months where it's just been me, a handset radio, and K-Love, and a thousand burpees a day, man.
	And letters coming in in the hundreds from the outside world.
	And that was my life.
	And I loved it.
	My fellowship with God, when in those very quiet times, those late nights reflecting on who I was in the past, where I'm weak in my character, where I'm weak in temptation, where in God's Word I can go to seek to receive healing in those places and receive strength in those places are some of the best times in my life because It's not where you get to.
	It's who you become in the journey.
	I'm liking who I'm becoming.
	I still got so much work to do, but I'm liking the journey because it's God's will.
	And you've got to either enjoy what's happening to you with joy in your heart, knowing that it's working out a purpose that is so much more magnificent and grander than you can see from your limited viewpoint as a human being.
	You know, his ways are higher than our ways.
	His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
	Heaven is above the earth or as far as God's thoughts and his plans above ours.
	And if you can humble yourself and receive, be in a state of reception and gratitude for God will open up prison doors, both physically and physically.
	Virtually, theoretically, to unlimited possibilities.
	He's brought me so much in my life these last three years, a renewed relationship with all my friends and family that's built off of, you know, realness and seeing them come to my aid during my time of need, an amazing network of brothers and sisters in Christ, people like yourself, Viva, an amazing fiancé, and, you know, even my enemies.
	You can tell how big you are, I guess, by who your enemies are.
	You know what I mean?
	How successful you are.
	Even the DOJ, the FBI, Biden talking about us at his first campaign speech and stuff.
	These people, they're not – I mean, the enemy is sin.
	The enemy is the devil.
	Joe Biden is not the enemy, but these people style us as their enemies.
	And to be a threat, to be a threat on the stranglehold of the head of the snake is a great thing.
	That they would consider us.
	To be domestic threats is almost a duty, is almost our duty in this day and age because if tyrants consider you a threat, it means you're doing the right thing.
	And the guards, I mean, in terms of the atmosphere, the interactions between the January 6th prisoners and the prison guards, is it...
	Animosity day in and day out?
	Or is there sort of like the syndrome there of the kidnapped woman?
	Is there sort of a Stockholm syndrome in terms of a relationship between the prison guards and the Jan Sixers?
	It depends on which prison you're talking about.
	I've had prison guards that have pepper sprayed me and left me half naked for two weeks and brought me to court on video visits shoeless without underwear on.
	I had guards that have come down to my solitary confinement cell, laid hands on me and prayed in tongues and brought holy fire down from heaven into my heart and ministered and mentored to me.
	We're dealing with individuals here, but for the most part in the D.C. Gulag, the D.C. resident guards, the African-American, 95%.
	I'm going to go ahead.
	Excuse me, guys, there's somebody behind me on the phone.
	I want to go on the phone, but I'm okay.
	I think it's all good.
	Your typical D.C. resident, African-American guard thought we were racist, thought we were like the scum of the earth and treated us that way for a while, but two, three years after living with these people, realizing that they're not in danger when they're around us, we're not smoking drugs, we're not...
	Violently attacking each other in the pod often.
	They got to know that we were men of righteous character, that we held Bible studies with sometimes 20, 30 people in them.
	We looked out for the other members of the D.C. community doing fundraisers for their kids for Christmas and stuff like that.
	They got to know us.
	So the first year was treacherous.
	We were the violent domestic terrorist Jan Sixers, and they didn't know us.
	We were behind the door, right?
	They couldn't get to know us because we were in solitary confinement.
	But after a while, we won over their hearts.
	And now I'm in a completely different prison.
	Most of the guards don't even know I'm a Jan Sixer.
	Some of them come up and know who I am and whatnot.
	And they openly voice their support for Trump, which is awesome.
	I haven't met a single federal prisoner and very few federal prison guards that are not Trump supporters.
	Two miles, three miles away from the United States Capitol, held as a political prisoner, things can get pretty political.
	First of all, how can people reach you?
	If you say you get letters, where can people find your info?
	Bye.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Sorry, say that again, Viva?
	I said that you mentioned you get letters or people are able to send you letters.
	How can people find you, send you letters, offer support?
	Where can people find your info?
	Well, obviously people can follow me personally on my Twitter at JakeLangJ6.
	Way more important than that, write the January Sixers, write my brothers and sisters.
	There's 270 of us behind bars right now.
	Write them.
	Go to PatriotMailProject.com.
	That's the spot to go.
	That's run by one of my great friends, Paula Callaway.
	An invaluable resource, PatriotMailProject.com.
	That's got every single address of every Jan Sixer and even a lot of their personal Gifts and Go accounts.
	You guys can go and give to them personally on their Gifts and Go.
	I'm not ashamed.
	God bless.
	Go do what you want.
	Giving individually is that you have some Jan Sixers that are great at marketing themselves and they have like 80, 90, 100,000 in their give, send, go.
	And then you have some like Midwest, you know, carpenters that don't really know what they're doing on social media and whatnot.
	And they've got like $1,500 in their give, send, go.
	If you want to, guys, give to a centralized fund that I manage and I have full transparency of, and we do everything possible to make sure it gets directly to the people, no crazy middlemanning, sponsorj6.com is a great place to go.
	It's a recurring monthly donation site.
	Like I said, we have about 1,000 people right now that are donors.
	The need is incredible.
	I receive requests.
	Through myself and through my volunteers of maybe 10 to 20 different requests for emergency family funds every day, people's mortgages.
	Because the men, most of them were the breadwinners.
	And a lot of them left young wives and kids at home.
	They were ripped out of the home by the FBI, and so they're not able to provide anymore.
	So these wives that have...
	Not worked, you know, maybe ever.
	And the kids are home trying to fend for themselves.
	Plus, they now have to pay lawyer fees, commissary fees, phone calls, and stuff like that.
	So we try to step up and do the right thing.
	And the centralized fund seems to be the best way.
	We had a lot of people giving individually for a while.
	We're happening where many were going with and many were going without.
	Now we have a place where everything gets evenly distributed as far as needs go.
	So Sponsor J6 is a great place to go, guys.
	Do your due diligence.
	Like I said, go to thegatewaypundit.com, type in January 6th transparency, and you will see our transparency reports.
	I'm not hiding anything here.
	I come from a wealthy family.
	God bless my father.
	I have been a successful entrepreneur in my life.
	I don't need this stuff, the money.
	I just am here to try to...
	One of my greatest joys is making sure that the government's wicked plans to destroy families and leave people hungry and destitute without lawyers, without commissary food is completely thwarted.
	And it gives me great joy to know that at least on the battlefront of financial donations, we're able to support those patriots and family members and people that need so that the government's, you know, ultimate plan of ripping the dad out of the home and leaving the wife and the kids destitute.
	We're strong when we're united, and it's taken us three years and four months to get here, and so we're here, but we've got a long battle ahead of us.
	You don't know how long this could last, but it's going to last until at least January 20th, 2024 for 90% of us.
	So we have to get there, guys.
	That's another, you know, nine months away.
	A lot can happen in nine months.
	A lot of people's cars repossessed, people ending up homeless, Jan Sixers getting out of prison, having nowhere to go, sleeping in cars.
	I receive requests for every single thing, every single day.
	Can you rent me out of an apartment?
	Can you pay off a credit card bill that is, you know, keeping it so I can't put food on the table?
	Whatever it is, we just want to be here for our community, and we need your guys' help.
	We're the persecuted patriots that stood up to defend this country on January 6th.
	We want your help, and we appreciate your help, and we love you guys for your help, but we need it.
	And so we're here asking humbly for it, and we're grateful.
	Are you allowed saying what prison you're in right now?
	Yes, I'm in Brooklyn, MDC, federal prison in New York, a notorious gang prison, the same prison system that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in by Hillary Clinton.
	We have an eternal truth that Epstein did not kill himself on this channel.
	I don't know if you can see the video, but I'm smiling at that joke because everybody knows what didn't happen.
	Someone in our local community is asking whether or not...
	I presume you've heard of the police officers, the D.C. cops who committed suicide.
	You don't have any personal knowledge of that other than indirect knowledge?
	First of all, my whole entire heart is with our families, God forbid, and with the families of the January Sixers who have committed suicide as well.
	My hearts are with you guys.
	I love you guys.
	Jerry Perna, God bless you if you're listening.
	We love you.
	We love Matthew.
	He's a hero.
	Mickey, if you're listening, we love Ashley Babich.
	He's a hero.
	Roseanne's family.
	God bless you guys.
	Roseanne is a hero.
	We love her.
	And Kevin and Greeson and Benjamin Phillips family.
	We love you guys and Brian Sicknick's family.
	This is not a community full of bitterness and hatred.
	We don't seek retribution or vengeance.
	We seek justice.
	We seek truth.
	We seek the love of our enemies.
	And I pray to God that through this We're all Americans and we're all God's children if you so choose to come into his kingdom.
	You're missing the point here.
	What happened on January 6th was God's will.
	And you need to understand that a free country as America is a very fragile experiment.
	And it can take just a little bit for this whole entire thing to go straight to communist, full-blown China.
	And if you don't respect your fellow man and woman who stood up on January 6th to defend this constitutional republic, Then I don't know who you can respect.
	These people that I'm surrounded with, the John Sixers, are the bravest, most selfless individuals I've ever met in my life, and I love all of them.
	My internal fidelity is with every single one of them, and I pray that the American people and history remembers us in the same way, not as violent insurrectionists, but as patriots who stood up to defend this country against tyranny.
	Jake, you stayed on a lot longer than I thought you were going to be able to.
	What we're going to do, we're going to leave it on something of an inspiring note.
	I don't think I've missed any questions.
	I'm looking in our locals community just to make sure.
	Everyone's heard your story.
	I have to ask the uncomfortable questions because when you get information on the internet, if you don't ask the questions, people will accuse you of dodging the hard questions.
	I said what I had to say.
	Even assuming you are guilty of the worst things they are accusing you of, I understand the argument that you're raising.
	I've seen the same videos and I've heard the same stories of provocation.
	I can understand how people will think there's no excuse for it, period.
	That's fine.
	That's what a trial is for.
	I don't think it makes sense that you've been denied a trial.
	I understand some people want to say it's your fault, your decision.
	I also understand that a lot of evidence has been withheld and you can't go to trial with withheld evidence.
	How that has not been...
	Dealt with in other manners, it's an absolute injustice, unbecoming of a civilized Western judicial system.
	Period.
	Full stop.
	So I can only say...
	I hope he didn't think that was over.
	Darn it.
	We'll see if he comes back.
	And I'll tell everybody else.
	I was going to say my proper goodbyes to Jake, but I'll DM him afterwards.
	People asking how he's doing the interview.
	Look, I'm as surprised as you, unless everybody thinks it's not actually happening or he's not actually in prison.
	I'm not at that level yet.
	He's been doing these for a while.
	I've heard a few of them.
	And there he is back.
	Okay, good, because I wasn't ready yet.
	Jake, yeah, that wasn't the end of it.
	So we'll see what happens and where this goes come this election year.
	It's going to be a big year.
	Your trial is scheduled for September as it stands now?
	Yes, it's scheduled for September.
	Your prayers are appreciated, guys.
	Your love and support is appreciated.
	We're ready to rock and roll.
	I'm very excited for my opportunity to prove my innocence.
	I hope that I can get a change of venue and go in front of a jury of my peers so I can win this trial in the fashion that God's put in my heart that I want to do it and walk out of there.
	A free man, exonerated by a jury of my peers, justified for my life-saving action on January 6th, for my patriotic action on January 6th, and not condemned for taking matters into our own hands when everybody else refused to stand up.
	The Jan Sixers did what was needed.
	All right, we're going to end this.
	They'll still be snooping on you in prison.
	We're going to end this on YouTube and Rumble and locals, and I'll come into the locals chat afterwards and talk.
	But Jake, I want to say our proper goodbyes afterwards, knowing that the prison system is still listening.
	But Jake, thank you for telling your story.
	I hope every skeptic out there is either satisfied or affirmed in their already foregone beliefs.
	Doesn't matter.
	Jake, I know what I think, and it's an outrage.
	And I can understand now how a pardon is warranted, even for those who did commit acts of violence That's my personal belief, and I don't care or expect everyone to share it.
	Jake, thank you.
	Stick around.
	We'll talk for a few minutes off air.
	And everybody out there, thank you all.
	I will see you tomorrow, live at some point.
	And you know where to find Jake.
	Your Twitter feed, Jake.
	Hold on.
	Before I forget.
	JakeLangJ6.
	JakeLangJ6.
	That is J-A-K-E-L-A-N-G-J-6.
	The letter J and the number 6. And I'll put it in the pinned comments so everybody can find you.
	Jake, stick around.
	We'll say our proper goodbyes.
	And everyone else out there, thank you for being here.
