Everybody, we were great guest on the podcast today re talking to Brandon struck he's the founder of the walk away. Campaign is a former liberal, and then he started this twitter campaigners, facebook, video that went viral after the twenty sixteen election and then, if the twenty twenty election he participated in the deadly fatal, treasonous capital insurrection. He was under house arrest for like months while his trial played out, and so we got cool jail stories. Yes, we got cool punching stories, cool insurrection stories. This interview has it all real. It is said that everything that is it a few has

the corso. Thank you for being here. Thank you now every started early days, how we get into a core hay and You are telling us a little bit. Knew you had to get permission to come here to to. California is right. Now I did so on probation until twenty twenty five be fun and up

one of my probation is, I'm not allowed to leave the state where I reside, which currently is nebraska, and I have to get permission from a probation officer to leave the state. At least you got stuck in a really exciting state yeah I did what I did yeah it's a big party hub in nebraska, so yeah have you explored. parts of nebraska since you're stuck there for a while, there's like corn fields on the east side and then there's like corn fields on the westside. It's amazing the difference in the corn, the texture in the quality and yeah. So that's been really fun. To discover You no longer have an ankle, monitor right now. Do they it on this one? It was on that foot. Yet, do you get to keep that as a souvenir when you know they snippet? They cut it right off and heartache that right back on anson, so they reason I think they reuse them. I think you get a fresh band, a new band, yeah that'd be kind of gross, it would be. growth, but the device is pretty clunky, unlike its it sturdy. So I don't, I don't think they tops those away here. You know it's

because you banged on trivial because it it's like this thick and I mean it so thick tat, I had it like. I had to kind of learn like what do like what I would go to bed. I would turn it in word because I found it I sleep more like I and yeah, and then in my life I licked waking life. I had to turn our so it wouldn't like rub against. and when you were wearing that you were under house arrest at that time. The three months you couldn't leave your house now are not at all so measures.

I have to do community service. I say we were safe from you, insurrection of the government during that irsay for me running around with my iphone like us, trying to overthrow the government. I know I slept easy during that three that all the violent deadly insurrection as the misdemeanor insurrections. Yes now so you got charged initially with felony, but then the video it was a you got been charged with a misdemeanor right. They originally charged me with two felonies and a misdemeanor, and then the plea deal they dropped the chinese and stuck with the one misdemeanor, but they still maiden bright eye stuff, the vast too, to everything that I was accused of doing in the felling size area. When I say that Let me do I mean they make us. We requested that they not include that language in the plea deal because I personally objected to that language from the very beginning for very good reasons, but that's what they want.

if they don't care if I'm charged with a misdemeanor didn't care if I'm charged with a felony? What they want is the story to put out in the press, and they want that with every single person. That's what this whole thing is about. I mean, if you can, but people on the position where they're so scared and traumatized and fearful about how the sick missions gonna go unless you put them in a position to say I can make all your fears go away. Just sign this piece of paper. By the way we wrote it the stories already written it talks about what you thought, what you felt, what you're motivations, where why you said the words that you I didn't say it, that's all written for you and you sign that piece of paper and the bulk of your fears go away, and now, Three. So then, after you sign that plea, when you come out and you're able to do, podcast nervy is do you feel now you're able to.

Speak openly about her. Are there things like you're, like not supposed to say or not the things that I wanted to say the most I cannot say interesting, yeah someday, I will, and I and I think people know yeah people anyway. I'll put it this way. Anyone who has followed me and knows my character and who knows the sound of my voice, knows what's going on because I guess it was all about words. Yes, it was. I was never accused of any actions. I was never accused of breaking anything stealing anything harming anyone touching anybody assaulting anyway, I was never. They know. I didn't do that and so that what were they after me, was you've got a crowd of thousands of people. Some of those people are very, agitated and saying things they probably shouldn't be saying and when you're seeing their shooting a video in your hearing, dozens of voices, while they

they claimed that they knew with certainty that it was my voice that they heard yeah saying. But you know it puts me in this awkward position because, even with what I was accused of for anyone who doesn't know my camera captured one moment that- and I want to be really clear- because I wasn't where people smashing. Windows are struggling with police officers. I did not witness the extra buffalo guy with your arm around or he was already at peace to that poor guy I mean he can go in the capital. No, I didn't go. I didn't go inside the building. I was feed on Pelosi's this with your shoes that are so clean. We might make shiny shoes. No, I I was on the east side of the building outside about thirty five feet away from the doors and when I arrived there the doors were open and people were saying that people are going inside, so I walked up the

There's no way. I filmed what I was seeing as I thought it was very strange. I mean usually trump supporters. You can't even get them to show up and hold a sign for it at that so now, suddenly people like we're going in might not seem too weird standing there filming they wearing F b, I styled yeah, they were all wearing maga hats and f b. I jackets it was important. Yesterday I came in rated your home. Was there anywhere you like hey? I saw you at the cafe yeah you're, the one encouraging that attack and yeah, so So there's a moment in my video, where an officer comes to the doorway of the capital and some grabs the shield away from him and somebody, Well, there's a voice from the crowd shouting, take it take it and the f b, I said, that's you, you did that and what you had to admit and

please. I signed a collegial saying that I did that now in retrospect, undue protest outside the capital. Do you think you should have just gone protested out of private citizens houses because the left seems to be okay. Should I have just gone to all the supreme court justices that would have been okay yeah? Well, it certainly would have been safer, and I I mean I wish I'd been wearing like a Biden harris church. I was at the capitol that might have helped too yeah. Now, were you also during pumps inauguration when trump got inaugurated? Really one of the guys are staying there screaming at the sky because you're in well I- I will now, but I was crying and my and our facebook alive, so I'd I'd, helping us out screaming, and I think that was the origin of wearing your walk away. Modem is people former democrats leaving the democratic party on the left and at the time trump as an algorithm, you were upset by that. Oh, like endeavours,

yeah devastated. For so many reasons I mean I first, why would I really was on those people that hilary deserves that sees the most prepare, candidates in it. I think I bought into sort of the myth and the narrative about Hillary Clinton, which is essentially if the left wing narrative is that she's this incredibly beleaguered woman who. if only she wasn't constantly being held back and suppressed by the men in her life and the men around her or the man, she was married to he's doing a lot of fun yeah, you know, and so I I felt like she got really cheated and I really wanted to see her become the first woman president literally got to do that, and and- and the eyes, and then I was shocked that the media that I trusted kept telling in that donald are that she was gonna win in a landslide donald trump at a three percent chance of winning.

So I was shocked and scared and confused and outraged- and in all of these things, so I did what any healthy sane person would do. I went on facebook and are crying you have to let the world no. I was feeling about things and I've heard this story a little bit, but is there if there's like a condensed version, then how did you kind of come to change your views, and then you had this walk away. Video that went viral ray. You can explain the reasons for leaving the democratic party, yet what I'd say. The most condensed version is that I was super miserable after, like four from the moment trump card elected for about two weeks. And I realize that the only way I was going to move pass. These feelings was too. cause. I didn't want to feel this way for four years, and I honestly I was two weeks later. I wasn't feeling any better than I was feeling on election day, and so I was like how can I pass this and I thought well. I think the only way for me to move past us is to try

understand it and you don't have to ever like trump or anyone who voted for him, but maybe try to just ask them because, intentional, like. Why did you vote for him and try to understand how the media got it so wrong. So I kind of one on a journey that started with those two questions: why would anyone vote for trump and how did the media screw the sub so badly? And I learned a lot of in saying things that sort of open my mind and blew my mind but the the most a moment for me was when, in january, twenty seventeen right around the time he is about to take office. I got on facebook, goes again I guess I go to facebook when I'm really feeling my feelings, and so I I got on facebook, and I wrote you know how I would never be able to understand how somebody could vote for a man who is capable of standing before a cheering marking mocking reporters disability and you guys remember that area with larrea the right hand.

And so somebody that I knew reach out to me, and I was gonna, do an impression so somebody I ain't christian conservative who I've no, my entire life reach out to me and she actually is to be my baby sitter and she gets mad. When I don't say your names, our name is diane diane ray. to me and she thinks Diane Diane. You are the walkway, never would have happened without without diane and assist diane reach out to me, and she said I'm not. have a big fight with you. I'm just asking: have you seen this and she sent me a video linked to a video and videos entitled something like debunking that trump mocked the disabled reporter? His compilation of footage that shows that donald trump has done this voice us that he was making fun of like almost anyone who has flustered, because they're caught in a lie or doing something shady or dishonest and so and I think politik

This course in general would be better. If we all mark people, we disagree with. It uses disability to mock everyone. I was like this awakening moment for me, where I did because I really trusted seeing in. I really trust these people and they were the main perpetrators of, freezing that image and saying that truck mark that disabled reporter and at so then I saw clearly that he didn't, and I saw clearly to that manipulated the way I felt about that, and so is like How often are they doing this, and Why- and so I start really falling into rabbit holes researching that and what what I discovered was that they're doing it all the time. especially if you're, black or brown or dvd or whatever aid that there really Targeting these communities to make people feel like their victimizing and targeted and in and manipulated, fear, and that made me really mad. So that's when I decided to create the video and create walk away, and I read before europe

gladness you're a hairdresser. So, who do you think is better meyer, kyle's, hair and beard? Any analogy you think of it was I just have to say right in front of you can t have my vote airy voting for yourself, no ali. I am unable to do the fuller beard. Lucky they send trimmed around the edge you're sculpted nice are how about this rather than choose. When I tell you both something good about yourselves chair but we are a while, I think you're gonna know the answer. When I give you your compliments. Ok, but our eye. So with yours, I like that you made it turned out, I gotta dozens of my presentation. I offer aid agenda, they answer. I never see that parts. I know I don't care with the right answer when they ask you square around in the back, which is I don't know what Where do I always ask where? Well, let me see you have it? That's not square

make it seem general IRAN years looks good. Ok, it should just be sort of natural issued advantage. It kind of crazy ankle how to ask where rounded argo, neither natural and they'll go. Oh, you know yes, so we hope, though the right it will literally happy niles those areas in the business no gay. so you have a very nice hair color and I like that, what you're doing is sort of like an almost to a very sort of old fashioned, gentlemanly almost old hollywood kind of you got that that the whole area that kind of thing happening. It's very nice. Thank you for your facial here is not to you any favours early honestly allow This was his nice version of it. This is my mental saving. On nice thing I mean you're during his hearing here. It's not me, it's not hurting you. I just I don't know I could take it or leave it honestly annually could now, when you sit here, would you prefer more like a virus. I would like is more clean and trimmed either

it's too long and a little unkempt and I do and I would like it to be a little more consistent, okay, yeah, if possible, I'll work on that. Thank you. That's absolutely fine. Now now critique me and I can think of there's negatives, I kind of uk, so you're you're here looks great and your facial here looks great. You look great no question about that, but I do feel like this is all set up to favour. You, I think, that kind of screwed, because your hair is, gleaming? In that light, I feel, like the lighter you feeling, the lady areas, those lose my kind of late airline right here. I am actually willing to believe they have. You came errand, did all the lighting interests and I gotta think he spends more time on this, like I spend time on the heron, morning near I do I just as your natural hair color there

the color is naturally I I use product in it, but I I've never dyed my hair any no highlights or anything no yeah. No, it looks worried. That was great. How often do you get a haircut? I probably once every like six weeks- ish. Maybe I'm like four months. Oh really, I just don't do that you go to a barber or stay. I gotta Floyd's barbershop, I got an embryo. Do often do sculpt, instant veered, I would say I trim. We're down? Maybe once every like two to three weeks and then I and of trim the edges and clean it up. Maybe once every week or two near what we like about his her by her look said does it? No, I think it's, but I changed the old order. Think back, let me see if you went for the natural natural did the right thing back,

I'm a little bit of a control freak I so when I went to go get my archive to three weeks ago. This girl was doing it and she did the back and she just was not hitting the mark. Without hitting the mark and she was using a handheld razor and I was like just give it to me. Just give it to me and I literally took a handheld mirror and I turned around- and I was going like this, like the salon managers coming just like. Why does your client have a razor blade backwards here in america, but I I I feel I would definitely slapstick myself if I tried to do mirror back of the head with a straight or not, it worked out, so you you were in jail. What's the difference, difference between a shank and a shiv shankar speaking of race, yeah. I was gonna, do a trim, their brain. I heard you started out as a goat was a bitter truth. Is I don't know I know for sure, but I think I believe that a shift is basically.

Any device, that's carved into being like a knife or has like a sharp and- and I think that ash shank is a razor blade attached to something of how I just made that up? But it sounds write to me you learn that in Europe today is how many days or even present, do you have we have learned so don't aren't. I didn't learn ships. Did you do this well, I mean so. They put means in lockdown, and I had a saw me so it's just I didn't like- have the opportunity to get into like a big brawl or anything or the upper cheek, a bunch of guys out there. That makes you feel any better during that time. In l, a even if you weren't in prison, you were still unlocked or no when I was actually being processed into the jail they they took me into this room for into evaluation, and it's like everybody in the jails,

damn of central casting. I mean it's like it's most horrifying, robust horrify, so they find the most terrifying people tobacco growing through this process and the intake evaluation guys this very like me, terry, no nonsense leg. I like a minute, remove all hope from you at this point and I'm setting down in asking me all these questions in one of these questions was sofa fight bridge. in the jail. Are you able to defend yourself about yeah, totally yeah dislike gate, good, who has never been in trouble in my entire life but sure I'll go in there and take a bunch of people out, though, if that was the scariest one of the scariest parts was when he said that to me- and I was like no I'm I'm I'm definitely not able to gay people aren't able to defend themselves. Look. I mean they put me up in their cell block where these people their eyes bulging out of their head in tattoos all over their faces. I rule, even when I got out of myself, to make a lawyer phone call, the israelis and the kind of show- or I shall repeat certain language and burning

My worry about their learns you're in greece. I speak freely. Moral sensor are why don't I don't need you bet I so we yeah, please say the bachelorette. We can do it through other people, so they I had an attorney phone call at one point and they everybody in my cell block was on lockdown. I mean that was like what the block was so and- and I was one of the few white people in myself so as I'm being walked past all of the doors all the doors have vertical windows like about like this in their so narrow that you have to like. You can only look at a one eye, so I just these singular eyes bulging eyes staring at me ass. I walked out in their curious because I've gotten let out and in these guys and there was a model why are you not bicycle in their literally threatening me they're like we cannot hear we're getting so

yeah it was a little intimidating. Yeah there were, there were definitely moments where I felt like there are cozier places. I could be, you ever think. Any of those guys got out and they're still trying to track you down nobody into my cell, made a target really yeah who was with you. I met someone that was also involved in january six of them different different aforetime. Repeat, drug offender owes us fourth time in and is as waldo, and he was actually very, very nice, very nice. To me, these very understanding, as I spent two and a half days, pacing back in, the door my bed freaky, I mentioned the worse, whereas I'll meet all they had told is that I was facing multiple felony charges for january. Sixth, Joe Biden had just become president five days before the Democrats have taken full power of

federal government, thank goodness everything got better after yeah yeah and, thank goodness I to walk away from the democratic party. That's great place for me to be, and so yeah no. I was in there and I- and I also didn't know what the on these were so I thought I was in their thinking to myself they're going to charge me with like treason, terrorism, insurrection. I legitimately believed that I was never gonna get out. I thought there go to extradite me to DC they're going to charge me all of these things? And I mean listen not like in the healthiest state of mind when this episode like in retrospect, some of these things actually seem a little hyperbolic and ridiculous. But I was concerned if they were going to have me put to death, you know, and so I was like. Are they gonna charge me of treason and attack me executed or or at the police having to be spending the rest of my life in in jail, and I really do believe that at the so

They didn't. They told me that I couldn't I kept saying: can I see a judge and they said no, they said because they picked me up in the middle of a blizzard, and so they said that the courts or closed because the blizzard so what about tomorrow? They said, we don't know it depends on the weather. The court's won't reopen until the weather clears and then they said, and even when the weather clears they'll be a backlog of cases it maybe next week before you get see a judge, and this is like on a monday morning, so I'm so nothing. In myself, it could be a weak or maybe two weeks before, even get to see a judge to find out. What's going on, they don't know when and I'm in lockdown and honestly I could have been ok if it weren't for the lockdown part of me. I really I really I think that the solitary thing is so unbelievably cruel, because I can hardly get through the time that I was in there I mean it was horrible and if even been allowed to just wander around the yoke is typically that's what happens. You're just in general population, okay and

and walk around and talk to the eyes through the whole rest of the world they're out cause, you know yeah like typically. What would happen is that you're just wandering around like with people and you can either read a book or play games or go, take a shower or whatever, but your really just stuck in this little concrete room with a toilet, a roommate and of I bed now. You are obviously the news. A lot for this. This in the media covered this january six thing they did yeah, but where I remember there was like a year before that I was watching tv or noise online and there's just some random article, and it said the man thrown off american airlines for not wearing a mask and armor. I click In the store- and I was like- oh, I know him what happened because yeah that happened to you also was that like a big ordeal at the time or was that more sensationalized on the oh, definitely yeah by the way?

ceo for bring all this up. I could have your audience must think I'm a really great upstanding person or just fun stories. I've also done some good things in my life too. That's another example of where I feel like I kind of got screwed, because there was no mask mandate at that point: an l as it was optional and so everytime you would get on a plane at that point. They would make it now where they would say? Please wear a mask to protect yourself and others, but they said if you're unable to wear a mask, please be courteous and rest are, please, be courteous and respectful to those who are unable to wear masks, that's what they used to say on every flight, and I opted not to wear a mask ever and on this one particular american airlines flight. I was on there and the they had already made that announcement by the way and the flight attendant came to me one flight. This whole thing stemmed from one mass deranged karen, like flight attendant,

She came up to me and she said she said we can't take off until you put your mask on. I was like what do you mean and she was like We should like this flight doesn't take off until you put on your mask and I said: well, I'm I'm not wearing a mask and She was like what you have to, and I said now I don't and if she said yes, you do it's a law, it's a law and I was like that was not a law she and she started. So we got into this debate. She was saying it's a federal law. She kept saying that so it got kind of silly because it wasn't really about the mascot. We start arguing about whether or not it was alive as like. It's not a federal law. Getting really agitated with me, but I was like this is ridiculous. I'm that's going to live in your fantasy world, where this is a federal law. Suddenly, when it's not a federal law, ass though she start getting really frustrated with me and she left and she got the pilot. The pilot came agonies like there's some sort of problem, and then it became a thing where, by the time they were done, there were five. There were like three flight attendants, her in the pilot. There were five people around me and

I just said you know this is turned into such a big thing and I'm sorry. I was like what was driving me crazy years. No one's even asked me if I have a medical reason for not wearing a mask, if there's a purpose and she, Do you and I said you're not and so it that way, not really frustrated with me, and they were moved me from the flight data sylvia. We're we're taking you off the plane. Well because god loves me, so much There was a scene in reporter sitting. Next to me, the entire time, and he recorded the entire thing. Yes, so I get taken off the plane. I talked to a manager who was their explained, the whole thing about what had happened in her asking me if I had a medical condition in the manager said she's like That shouldn't have happened, we're so sorry it sounds like you know. You had a bad experience. She was like. Let's just get you on another flight and I said: yeah cool sounds good, so they put me on another flight. No one asked me to wear a mask on the second flight. There were zero problems. Everything was totally normal. I lay

What I, while I was up in the plane I bad purchased wifi. You know working and I start getting messages, say people sending these screenshots of seeing it there was mega influence, are and instruct thrown off plane for not wearing a mass? This is now hit scene and, like all my. So I landed at the place where I was laying wherever I was going and there was an american airlines manager waiting for me and he was super apologetic and nice and he was just like so sorry that you had some problems. You know, and I said, don't worry- we'll get you weren't were totally fine and either it was the end of it, but the story blew up because of cnn and then later that day, because the story blew up. American airlines called me on the phone and they said your permanently band of. flying on our airlines were until the mask mandate is lifted and now the mandate is lifted, so I've reach out to american airlines to say: hey. Can I start flying again and they said well were now that the government

it is challenging the the mask mandate. We're going to wait until there's a court ruling on man on on that. But would you really want to sue to fly american airlines in the first You know the thing is they have they really do have the best rates now, like a does it really angry honestly when I'm like booking a flight and I'm like two hundred bucks cheaper on Ebay or you could fly spirit or frontier or something I could also live. You're, in a prison cell. That's what I hear. Spirit and veterans like children be subscribers. Whenever they want things I m, a junior is coming back and the dead to be drums. Vice president, I dont think that, like Madonna was in the bathtub signalling to Tom hanks to get out of town because to be nice to have you ever met comment. I think I slept with them That's the money at the rear, add to that.

and keep the internet. This is bad. Another interview on the Babylon bee public dedicated feeble survive, fake news journalists. You can trust era of Babylon, be reminding you that someone out there knows something about garment we're going to find him.
