And I'm like, I don't know. What's the story here? But we only talked about it a little bit on the main show and probably for obvious reasons
Starting point is 00:00:53 because some of this can get really spicy, I'd imagine. But where should we start on this one? Luke hates the government. You got a question to ask? Well, yeah. What was the biggest learning lesson from all of this? Learning lesson? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:07 What did you learn from going over everything? And what kind of advice would you give individuals from your experience? You're going to love this, I think, right? Because I learned, and I mean, I honestly say that this, I believe that this is the biggest learning lesson, that our rights are not maintained in the courts or in the ballot box that they're maintained on the grounds in which they were established now now don't get me wrong you know good things happen and important things happen especially in theory in the courtroom and
Starting point is 00:01:37 in the ballot box so i am running for office so that i mean something but but rights are not maintained in the courtroom or in the ballot box. They literally are maintained on the grounds and where they were established. Yep. And you maintain them by claiming them and by using them and by defending them. And sometimes you have to bring your friends around you to defend them. That's protest. That's First Amendment right there.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah. Well, that's even what like just, I mean, any righteous war, if there is such a thing, but defending, any defense of rights, ultimately, even if it comes down to physical, even if it comes down to violence, that is how you actually hang on to it. So we talked about on the main show the initial standoff. It was in Nevada. Yeah, Nevada. But there was another story that happened sometime later. This was where an individual was shot and killed, and this video went viral.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Yeah. So what was that? Was that a related incident? What is the story? What happened was everything went down in 2014 at the Bundy Ranch. Basically, thousands of people came, and they gave the government an ultimatum, like, you leave.
Starting point is 00:02:52 We're not okay with this. And they decided to take it, and they left. Wow. And they actually have never come back. Wow. So you guys won. We won. We completely won. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:01 We put the ranch back together, repaired the water infrastructure and the corrals, and we put the ranch back together you know got repaired the you know the water infrastructure and the corrals and ultimately you know built the herd back up and so yeah just like an avatar there you go so there was damages you know there's no doubt about that but then what happened was i became aware of rant another ranching family in Oregon that was just, it was a terrible situation. In fact, it was even worse than ours. And I went, here I had like this, you know, following, if you will, or I had the ability to be able to reach a lot of people. And I'm like, I felt like I needed to go help this family.
Starting point is 00:03:42 So I went to Oregon. I found out, made sure that they were legit. And, and I began to shine a ton of light on what was happening to the Hammond family. And, uh, I got national attention, eventually got international attention. And of course they had to like squash it because, uh because in their own emails, they were saying the virus is spreading, like, we have to stop this. Because we were winning the narrative again. And they were like, we cannot allow another Bundy Ranch thing to happen. So on the way to a meeting in Grant County, Oregon, like 400 people,
Starting point is 00:04:21 including the county sheriff, all of that were waiting for us to address them in this meeting that those people in that county had organized. There's a pass where you lose cell reception, and as soon as we lost cell reception, they literally ambushed us, the FBI, and opened fire on the vehicle, and they ended up killing LaVoy Finicum, and then they arrested us. And then they went on a witch hunt and arrested everybody in the Nevada case as well. Would you mind if we looked the video up?
Starting point is 00:04:51 Not at all. What was their reasoning for opening fire? Well, we don't really know. At first they tried to say that we fled, but that was absolutely a lie. They opened fire on the the first vehicle and that's why lavoy took off and that's right and so i think i've seen this uh people don't know those details or never look into them because they lied about it and then the fbi actually lied that they ever shot they just said it was isp or oregon state police osp that shot. And that was an absolute lie. They were shooting into the vehicle most of the time that the vehicle was driving.
Starting point is 00:05:31 And my brother was in there. I was in the vehicle behind. LaVoy Finnegan was in there. And two women were in there. And they were taking on shots. My brother got shot in the shoulder. He still has the round in his shoulder. He said he left it in there as evidence.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yeah. So, because they arrested us, they threw us in prison, a federal detention center, federal prison, and we figured at some time we were going to have to prove that the FBI actually shot.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah, keep the round. And the best evidence was in his shoulder. We figured at some time we were going to have to prove that the FBI actually shot. And the best evidence was in his shoulder. Like, you know, they'd be able to extract it, do the forensic, you know, analysis on whatever weapon shot it. And, you know, it was going to be an FBI weapon. I remember. So the Oregonian has Shauna Cox cell phone video from inside the boy Finnegan's truck. I remember the official narrative was that he got out of the vehicle and then went to draw his weapon, so they opened fire on him. And then the cell phone footage gets released showing they actually shot at the vehicle first. The windows explode.
Starting point is 00:06:39 That's right. And then he gets out. He's being shot at. Then they claimed he went for his weapon. And my understanding was that he was being shot at and he reached in for a holster. But you said that's not true. No. So the snow was deep.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And you could see it because the FBI had a drone or a plane, but way up high with no sound. Right. But you can see in the snow, you know, you know, when you're walking around the snow. And he's saying because what he did was that's they were firing into the vehicle and he got out with his hands in the air and said shoot me shoot me he was trying to get them to draw fire to him to save the people that were in the vehicle yeah that's what he was doing and he raises his hand well he he gets either get shot um because they were shooting these you know the the non-lethal ones as well he he gets either gets shot um because they were shooting these you know the the non-lethal ones as well he and he either goes down like that but he does not reach into he just
Starting point is 00:07:33 goes down like he either stumbles or he gets shot and then they just open fired on him and shot him in the back three times and he just laid dead in the snow when they stopped you guys was it like we think you might have weapons we got to search the vehicles get out of the vehicle what so they had completely premeditated this they had like uh they had had these like where they had cleared these areas out so that they had you know along the roads and that's where they ambushed us. And for like me, we just, I mean, we didn't get shot at, but I did hear the shots, and they did shoot at the front vehicle. And so we just sat there, and then we got out, and they just arrested us.
Starting point is 00:08:16 What was their reasoning? So I got the video right here. What was their reasoning for blocking the road off? I mean, look at this. The road's completely blocked off when the vehicle starts approaching. So here we can see. Yeah, right here. And then here's,
Starting point is 00:08:30 that's Lavoie coming out right there. That's correct. You can see his hands are in the air. His hands are in the air. To the left, after they'd already shot on the vehicle. That's right. His hands are in there the whole time.
Starting point is 00:08:39 And then. Now I can't tell what he's doing. Yeah, he kind of goes down. That's deep snow there. And then they shoot him in the back. So what was their justification for blocking the road off, guns drawn, shooting at the vehicle? They did not even have charges until like two weeks of us being in prison
Starting point is 00:08:54 or in jail. It took them like weeks, I think less than, you know, I think it was right around 10 days before they actually charged us with something. So all of this was like illegal completely illegal like the dead man's roadblock arrests without charges all of that and then and the whole thing and eventually it took us for this case it took us 10 months to finally get to trial and we beat them on all charges we were acqu acquitted on every charge by a Portland jury.
Starting point is 00:09:26 But they held you for that time? The whole time. And then they didn't let us go after 10 months. Then they shipped us down to Nevada because they charged us with all the charges down there. And I had another, spent another, what would it be, you know, over a year down there fighting those charges.
Starting point is 00:09:42 And then you won that too? And we won that one. Wow. That one, we actually got the case dismissed with prejudice because of prosecutory misconduct, because they were hiding all this evidence. Holy shit. I remember hearing about infiltration, infighting.
Starting point is 00:09:57 There was a lot of crazy stuff happening at the second situation. Can you speak to that a little bit? Well, again, they had this. So another thing that was going on when they shipped us down to Nevada is they put us in solitary confinement. And I mean, it was rough because they were trying to break us so we would take a plea deal. Because they knew in the end they didn't have a case. But they were trying to break us. And they did break a bunch of, not my family, but a bunch of the other people that they arrested.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And anyway, we finally get to trial. And this is after being in prison for two years, and half that time was in solitary confinement. We finally get there, and there was like questions that we had that we didn't have evidence of certain things that we knew should be there. And so when the witnesses got on the stand, the government witnesses, we started questioning them. Like, hey, wait a minute. What about the video of the, where's all the information from the parabolical listening device that you guys had on our, because we could see the laser. We did the research and they like freaked out like freaked out and and the judge at first said you you're you're on
Starting point is 00:11:12 a fishing expedition you're just you know wasting the court's time and we knew for sure it was there so how did you convince the judge we didn't we finally got the one of the witnesses who must have not got the memo because she had retired so she was out of the system and came back to be a a witness for the government so she must have not got the memo and she spilled the beans and once the the door was open those open then the judge was pissed because because you know she made her look like a fool you asked her about the parabolic listening device yeah well my brother did and and you know uh and and my attorneys because my brother went he went and uh pro se and i had attorneys so together was a really good combination wow and we ended up uh like
Starting point is 00:11:56 completely that's where that was the beginning then we're like well where is the where are these where is this evidence right and finally they had to give it to us. And then when they gave it to us, they gave it to us with like 1,700 files. And then we're like, well, is this all of it? And then they had to end up coming clean, and there was over 3,800 files. Not documents, files.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And most of it was trying to hide that the FBI was involved in pushing all the buttons. Wow. What did the judge say? When the judge said that you were on a fishing expedition, how did the judge react when this retired woman comes out and says, oh yeah, we have this? So she immediately stopped the trial and scheduled the next day for an evidential hearing that went on for two weeks. Wow. Yeah. Because they basically were like, yeah, we didn't turn over all the evidence. And it just kept going and going.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Oh, shit. And at that point, you know, we asked for a dismissal and she granted it. Wow. And she actually, I mean, the words that she used were like, you know, gross prosecutorial misconduct. She railed the FBI. Did you sue? She railed the FBI. She railed, you know, these things.
Starting point is 00:13:13 But, I mean, the whole time, we've been in prison the whole time. Like in maximum prison, in solitary confinement. I'd never once been able to have any physical contact with my wife or children. What was it? Did you sue afterwards? So we didn't. Why not? So a lot of people, well, one is I do not want to spend my entire life in federal court.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I hear that. And I have seen where people do sue and they they literally will because it takes a ton of energy. It takes years and years and years to finally in the case that is most prevalent in my mind. They spent almost 20 years. They mortgaged their ranch. They won on a on a on a district level. And then after almost 20 years, it went to the circuit, Ninth Circuit, and they overturned it. Well, they had mortgaged all of their ranch and everything to pay for lawyer fees. They lost everything in the end, even though they had won. And I just, you know, I was like, you know what? I just want to take care of my family. I just want to be left alone.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And so that was my reasoning and why I haven't, even though they really hurt us. They really damaged us. What did you mean by the FBI was pushing all the buttons? So like, for example, the FBI had a headquarters headquarters at the what they call the command center or whatever. There's an incident command center. And they were the ones that were, you know, basically directing this assault and this this. All the things that were happening at the ranch and they were directing, you know, like all of the the force
Starting point is 00:15:08 side of it, like making sure that, you know, how it was enforced, like, for example, the First Amendment area, and, you know, how they responded to protesters and, and all of the security and overall watch was all directed by the FBI. And while it was going on at the ranch in 2014, we could see like these, you know, these BLM agents and they're wearing their tan uniforms. And you could see, well, that's a BLM, that's a national park. But there was these guys walking around in civilian
Starting point is 00:15:41 and most of them were bearded and had just ball caps on and they were carrying these weapons and you could tell like these guys were a completely different monster like they were completely different they were you know they were you can tell the way they held their guns they were skilled they were they were completely different but we didn't know who they were we found out years later that it was the fbi hrt team what's hrt uh well it's a hoski rescue rescue team but uh yeah hoski rescue team but it's like the elite team for the fbi hostage hostage rescue team yeah did you did you ever find out that there was agents pretending to be supporters uh yeah but we didn't find that out until the discovery until later and were you
Starting point is 00:16:26 surprised by that can you can you tell us a little bit no not not really although i was i was pretty naive like i this wasn't my world like this was not my world my uh so i was naive uh but you know spending all that time in in federal prison uh you, made me where I'm not so naive anymore. What was, it was a maximum security prison? So part of it was, yeah, they had, it was a prison that had both sides of it because ultimately it was a detention center. So, which is, you know, actually even worse than the prisons
Starting point is 00:17:00 because you don't, you don't go out, you hardly go outside. You don't have any visits with your families. You don't, you know uh i mean it's it's crazy even though you're not convicted yep uh you you are it's it's it's really a hard terrible situation were you indoors the entire time yeah i mean they had like these in some places not not all of them but they had like these little kitchen uh chicken cages that you could go out in literally it was like a completely you know and it was just a not much bigger than this room and uh and that was about all the outside experience you would how often would they let you out um well it depends on where you're at like in solitary confinement i spent months and
Starting point is 00:17:40 months and months and never saw the sun did you you have a window? No sunlight. So they, they had in, in most of the, most of the solitary confinement, they have a window, but it's like completely glazed over. Like they painted it. So you can see a little bit of illumination of the lights, but I spent months and months and months in solitary confinement.
Starting point is 00:17:59 What was it like psychologically? It's, it's a, it's a constant battle, like a constant battle not to like just lose it you know uh uh and you have to like like i i found like i had i had to like forgive those that were doing it to me like almost immediately because they would they would do terrible things and then throw you in there right and like what like what well like you know beat you down and strip you down and then throw you
Starting point is 00:18:30 throw you into nate well i mean they always had a they always had their justification but really you know like you know there would be you know stupid things like you had you had what they called contraband or something like that you know like salt and pepper that happened to me like i had uh i had salt one time and they they did that to me and so so you have and like one time when i was they literally were had had me down there's five of them they're stripping me naked and and one guy literally whispers in my ear that he's sorry he's doing this to me. Why was he doing it? Well, it's their job. It's their job. That's why I have a love-hate relationship with law enforcement.
Starting point is 00:19:12 They're fucking Nazis. Yeah. So you found forgiveness because it was driving you insane? You have to. Because otherwise, this rage in you will just eat you alive in there because you are alone all day long, all night long, you know, I mean, for, for days and months. And, uh, and so it will eat you alive. Like, so like you have to, you have to kind of be, you know, right. You have to be right with God. You have to do your best to, you know, to, to,
Starting point is 00:19:40 to keep yourself sane. I did a ton of reading. I was reading books like every day. Like I'd read a book like a day in a day just, just to try to buy time. And then also you, uh, for whatever reason, I don't really know why, but,
Starting point is 00:19:53 uh, you, you, I turned nocturnal. Like, I don't know why, but I would be up during the day or during the night. And then I would sleep during the day.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And the only time I got up was to eat during the day because you have to they just shove a food through like a food port little hole in the you lose a lot of weight yeah i lost like so i came out of there so you know i'm overweight now but i mean i am so but i came out of there uh like i i weigh two two thirty two thirty like between in two thirties right now i came out of there 170, in the 175 range. How tall are you? I'm six foot. Wow. What's the first thing you did when you got out?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Hug your wife? Yeah, my wife and children. I mean, it was hard not having that, you know, not having to be able to, like, it's crazy, but not be able to just love them and know that they needed it, you know, just to hold them. Wow. What's the first thing you ate? So the first thing I ate was, I actually think I had a steak. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I was a cook. What cut? I don't remember, but I love a ribeye. Ribeye, medium rare? Medium rare ribeye. That's really good for you. There you go, man. What did you eat in there
Starting point is 00:21:05 oh well some some like the oregon prison was was terrible like like they had this what they called gravy and it was literally just oil and uh it was like oil with like i think it had some pepper in it but very hardly no salt. It was like this oil, yeah. I think they might have thrown like a bouillon in oil and probably mixed some water because it did have the little bubbles, and that's what they called their gravy. And then they would serve it on like a dry piece of bread or something. It was really disgusting.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Nevada was a little better, but they had this bone meal that actually because the prisoners that worked in the kitchen said that it says not for human consumption bone meal? it's like ground up bones it's just ground up bones and fat and everything
Starting point is 00:21:59 and they would use it for all they would make sloppy joes out of it was it disgusting? it was disgusting but you had to eat it like you had to you had to have the protein yeah the nutrients you know so man yeah how was it with books so you mentioned you read a book every day did they like bring a book cart or something so uh there were book carts but not in solitary confinement so uh my wife they had a list of approved books. And when I wasn't on the highest solitary confinement restrictions, then she could mail in books to me.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Why were you in solitary? So I was in solitary. The main reason I was in solitary is because it got to a point where they were strip searching us so often. I just finally said, no, you're not going to do it anymore. Wow. And the interesting thing is, is I actually won that battle. My, uh, my, myself and the other co-defendants,
Starting point is 00:22:52 including my brothers, cause, uh, I had, uh, uh, four brothers and my dad was in there as well with us. So we, we actually are, we actually were the only people in, Bureau of Prison Systems that they couldn't strip church. But it took me almost a year of solitary confinement to win that battle. And what happened was, I didn't win it conventionally, but what happened is I wouldn't allow them to strip. So the prison stopped transporting me to my own trial. Wow. Yeah. And the judge. Got my own trial wow yeah and the judge got mad well the judge was like he has to be here you know we're we'd have to declare a mistrial if he's not here and they're saying well he's not you know he is not um allowing us to transport
Starting point is 00:23:38 him that's what they kept saying wow well uh anyway to come to find out what happened is she goes well i want to talk to him on the phone. Well, as soon as I got her on the phone, I actually did a verbal motion to order the Southern Nevada Detention Center to transport me to my own trial. And she was like, what? So she spent 45 minutes like breaking this down and realized that it was them making the decision. I was just not going to comply to a strip search. And I was like i'm not going to stop you from strip searching me i can't do that i'm just one person but i'm not going to do it myself yeah see that's what they wanted they wanted me to comply they wanted you to say there are five lights and i wasn't yeah you're right
Starting point is 00:24:18 you know that you know that thing from star trek what what is it what is it they're uh one of the enemy generals is torturing Captain Picard and there's four lights and he says how many lights are there and when he says four he shocks him
Starting point is 00:24:30 and he says you're mistaken there are five now how many lights are there and he says there's four and then he shocks him exactly and he keeps doing
Starting point is 00:24:35 1984 what was the best book you read in there so the best book I read in there was maybe like Atlas Shrugged.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Oh, okay. Can you say fiction and nonfiction? Were you reading primarily fiction, primarily fiction? Well, real quick, I just kind of want to go too far. The judge in this instance, was this Oregon or Nevada? This was in Nevada. So was it ultimately the judge that dismissed it? Yeah, she dismissed it.
Starting point is 00:24:58 So we beat him with a jury, acquitted on all charges in Oregon. And then we went down to Nevada, and she ultimately dismissed it. And then, of course, the U.S. attorneys appealed the decision. It went to the Ninth Circuit, and the Ninth Circuit unanimously agreed that the case was egregious, and they dismissed it without prejudice. What was the case to begin with? Real quick, that female judge, I have to imagine, with what what you've already told me and there's probably a lot more so she they're lying to her about not transporting you then she finds out they're withholding evidence i mean she had
Starting point is 00:25:33 to have been pissed yeah she was pissed and it's not like she was our friend don't right you know don't get me wrong but she was put in a position where like this whole thing was based on lies and the ship was sinking and she was like i'm not going down like i'm not going down with the ship and so she did the right thing and and finally you know condemned all of them and dismissed the case wow was the case like a weapons charge type thing if i was if i was a judge i would have immediately made a criminal referral for all of the people involved on the other side i i'm i'm i'm so look, I've dealt with courts and I was saying this before the show earlier. Judges are just people. They they they may know the law, which is book learning and and and procedure and policy on specifics of what is and isn't a crime.
Starting point is 00:26:20 But when it comes to arguing, people really need to understand. When I was little, I thought lawyers were people who knew the law and would go before a judge and be like, but your honor, if we look at code 13 C and he goes, really, 13 C is a good point. And the other lawyer will be like, ah, but C F. And in reality, you go to court, you learn it's nothing like that. It's people just arguing with each other and the judge gets the final say. And so I'm really annoyed when you see this all the time. They don't want any more. The judges, the court, they're just like. So I was falsely arrested. Me and my brother back in like 2006.
Starting point is 00:26:57 We were at a mall. So apparently some people were accused of shoplifting, called security. Security sees me and my brother and assumes we must be the people. So what do they do? They immediately start beating the shit out of my brother. I call 911. They grab my phone, turn it off, grab me, arrest us, realize we're the wrong people, lie to the cops. When finally
Starting point is 00:27:16 everything broke down, we refused to, so ultimately it comes after several months of court, we get offered by the ADA me getting, my brother was going to get six months for assault, and they wanted to give me 30 days or something max for disorderly. So we agreed, okay, my brother will plead guilty so that he avoids this and gets community service at his own discretion.
Starting point is 00:27:39 It's a slap on the wrist. I'll go to trial because I'm risking a month. When we said that to our lawyer, and he went up and told the judge and the ADA, the ADA screamed. It was this woman. She's like, what? And then my brother got pissed. And so then the lawyer, our lawyer comes back over. And my brother goes, why does she hate us?
Starting point is 00:27:57 And he goes, they're mad that you're going to trial on a slap on the wrist charge. And he goes, fucker, I'm going to trial now too. And he went, okay. And then he went up. And then we hear her scream again. And the judge yells at her. Our lawyer comes back over and he said, the case is being dismissed. The judge wants to see you in chambers.
Starting point is 00:28:15 And we were like, what? And he goes, when I told the judge that you are now going to trial, he said, why are they both going to trial on a slap on the wrist charge they're getting community community service at their own discretion he said uh your honor because they're innocent and he went oh oh uh case dismissed but i want to see you in chambers now here's the point of the story when we went back into his chambers he says there's not getting many more lawsuits on this right it's all done and we can go home say yes okay you can leave so basically what the point was these guys did
Starting point is 00:28:51 wrong by us but the court doesn't want to deal with it yeah no i agree i mean we should see these judges dismiss a lot more cases and criminally charge these motherfuckers i i saw a cop in new york lie under oath about why they arrested a guy a photographer in new york and then my footage exonerated the guy they claimed the guy was blocking the street then on the stand they said here's a video shot by tim pool of the guy standing on the sidewalk minding his own business you lied under oath but did they so did they did they dismiss the case though because normally what they do is they say okay well they'll find something else like an infraction or or you know just something minor and they they'll say well we'll give you this if you take this plea deal and basically you get to go you get to put your life back together but you're still
Starting point is 00:29:40 guilty right so they they dismiss the charges against this guy and there was no penalty for the cop who lied under oath yeah well that's the way that's new york these prosecutors they didn't get nothing they didn't nothing i mean they didn't get a slap in the hand they didn't they didn't lose their job nothing they just keep on going and uh you know it made them look bad and of course in the inner circles they you know they i'm sure look terrible and and all of that but as far as you know accountability nothing nothing yep i gotta oh i gotta ask what is what were these charges even to begin with so the charges in nevada were all about like assault on a federal officer this video no from this video? No, this was the Oregon thing. Assault on a federal
Starting point is 00:30:26 officer. I mean, I didn't even have a gun. I mean, I had no intention on any of the, and it was just garbage. It was flat out garbage. Was it from one altercation that happened? It was basically because of the standoff on Saturday, if you will, like going and confronting them and saying, look, we're not okay with this. And my mindset was very clear. Look, you can kill me if you want. I'm not leaving. Like, I'm not leaving. You can kill me if you want.
Starting point is 00:30:56 But then there was people, which I had no idea they were up there, but there was people with weapons on the bridge. And I think they ended up probably saving our lives but wow but to me i was like like it wasn't about violence it wasn't about you know uh guns it wasn't nothing it was about them coming in and doing this terrible thing to my family and i just wasn't going to stand for it any longer yeah oh and see i was down in the wash down there so now this to be honest with this was after it all happened uh and anyway i won't even get into the details but yeah they couldn't even prove that we ever pointed guns at them okay so the idea that someone had pointed a weapon made you a an accomplice yeah it was a conspiracy they said it was a conspiracy that
Starting point is 00:31:43 we had conspired and we had planned all this and all of that and it was just all a lie and they knew it was a lie so actually you were unarmed protesters yeah that's crazy the only yeah and these people are on the bridge and then there was some people in the back that never pointed their guns that had some but you know there was this big narrative about how like you, there was this huge standoff and we were threatening them, which they absolutely deserved to be threatened, right, from what they were doing. I mean, they were, you know, body slamming women. Well, threatened is probably the wrong word then.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I mean, they're actively attacking people. It was a defense, yeah. The cops were body slamming women or body slammed a woman they body slammed a woman yeah if you if you if you go to you know say blm body slams you know bundy ranch something like that yeah they absolutely did they they sicked uh dogs on a pregnant woman they tased me multiple times um so just while you were sitting there like get up and move when we were like this was like protesting this was this was a few days before the whole final because they just kept abusing people all week and finally people were like we're done with this we're
Starting point is 00:32:56 going to go down and confront them and ultimately give them an ultimatum to leave and they they they left they they they left within an hour and 107 vehicles because they were afraid of the people and that's why i say our rights are not maintained in the courts or the ballot box they're maintained by us uniting together you know and saying look you're not going to do this to us that's the first amendment yeah and what dave chappelle say second is just there in case the first one doesn't work out that's right i love that all right man uh you have any final thoughts before we wrap up i don't know is anything else you wanted to add what did Dave Chappelle say? Second is just there in case the first one doesn't work out. That's right. I love that. All right, man. Do you have any final thoughts before we wrap up?
Starting point is 00:33:26 I don't know, is there anything else you wanted to add? No. Yeah, it was good talking about it. Right on. It's like therapeutic.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Oh, man, it's crazy to hear. Wow. The bullshit. And I got the New York Times story right here. The judge dismissed the charges. They were so grave
Starting point is 00:33:39 and the indictment would be dismissed. The withholding of evidence. Holy shit, man. Well, Ammon, thanks for hanging out. It's been a blast. It has been. It's been good. Good luck in a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Thank you. We'll see, but we'll have you back on whenever. That'd be fun. Yeah, it'd be great. We can get down again. Yeah, absolutely. And for everybody who's a member, seriously, thank you all so much for making this possible, and we'll see you all next time. Cheers.
