our successes, but we never stop there, discover the achievements of our country, come to the russia forum exhibition. there are serious concerns in washington at the moment about what if democracy is allowed to work and what if a presidential candidate who now he is leading in the polls, let him win in the twenty-fourth, then we will get fascism, because he will put his political

rivals in prison, which will change america forever, democracy will die and we will become an authoritarian republic. and not even a republic, but a junta. however, we don’t even have to wait, because this is exactly what has been happening for the last 3 years, especially after january 6, 2019, the day when, as we now know, there were 200 undercover fbi officers in the crowd, but this, of course, , there was no setup, much less an order. a what happened after, well, more than a thousand people were arrested, the largest bounty hunt in history conducted by the fbi, and after. demonstrations, almost all of them behaved very peacefully, but many went to prison, and some went to prison without even participating in anything, and one of them even turned out to be a real journalist, receiving a salary from journalists, a real journalist, he was not even accused of that he was at the capitol that day, but he was charged with, quote

, "spreading" election misinformation, which is now apparently a criminal offense against him name is oon schroyer, he's been around for a long time... well, obviously january 6th was the reason the department of justice used to put me in jail, despite the fact that my article was

just a misdemeanor. i think this situation needs to be dealt with from the very beginning, like the persecution i faced. they staged this whole circus with impeachment back in 2019, when, as you remember, the democrats of donald trump. i was just then speaking out against nadler's impeachment speech. i said that it was all a lie, what the people chose trump and that trump is not guilty. all this took about 60 seconds, after listening to the majority and the minority.

kevin mccarthy's office, we saw pro-palestinian protesters storm the capitol, we saw pro-life protests, and i could go on and on, but to save time, we'll leave it at that for now. it's quite common when people go to the capitol, and the standard procedure is that the capitol police detains you, escorts you out of the building, and lets you go home. but in '19, after i interfered holding impeachment hearings, which i believe is my constitutional right. to express my dissatisfaction with the government, someone called a capitol police officer , just as he was about to let me go, he said, “no, don't let him go, we will not treat owen schroer like 99% of the people who went were treated.” in the capitol and were detained escorted out of it, we will charge him arrest him so this was the first time i was prosecuted for politics, after a month inside

in the same capitol building there were 40 or 50 anti-trump protesters demonstrating, and in order to show the double standards in our country, i decided to go to the same place in the capitol where these 40-50 protesters were demonstrating, i came in the same place, i put up a sticky tape people that said censorship because i was banned from all the major mainstream social networks and i was arrested for it and spent 36 hours in the washington gulag. as a result, when the case got to judge dockit, he canceled everything, of course. so, tucker, i i think it was worth telling this backstory because people need to know that this is discrimination.

as a journalist, when this all started that day, me and my team, which, by the way, is even stated in the indictment, that we tried to warn people from going to the capitol, we tried to convince people to move away from the capitol, we even tried to help the police prevent what happened, it’s all in the file, the government, the ministry of justice, the judge, the prosecutor, the lawyers, they are all aware of this, it’s all in my indictment imprisonment, however, they decided to sentence me to 60 days in prison, of which, as you said, i only served 47 days, they wanted to sentence me to 120 days in prison, so i was lucky enough

to only get 47 days, unfortunately, as you already said, i spent most of my time in solitary confinement, but here’s something else besides trampling on freedom of speech. at this point, the doj's goal is injustice, stacker, the us attorney's goal is conviction, and the judge's goal is incarceration, justice there doesn’t even smell, and i’m a prime example of all this, everyone knew that i had no place in prison, even when i was under investigation by the fbi, washington judge farooq sent a warning to the ministry of justice, which said, hey, wait a second, you’re probably breaking the law here , which is true, because when they accused me as a journalist, then...

a journalist, many say that they are journalists, but you receive a salary, pay health insurance, you are a journalist, at least one of the journalists came to your defense, all these committees journalists, pan america, at least has anyone from the journalistic community, the community of white house correspondents, come to your defense, no, i haven’t heard of that, on the contrary, the new york times has been writing articles for a long time about how i am being silenced and censored, yes. in some alternative media there are people who supported me and came to my defense. i remember how you, when you were still at your previous place of work, talked

about me, but very few people do. incredible. you said, yes, usually when we talk about this we say: they did this, they did that, but could you name the names those who perpetrated all this injustice on you. do you know the people behind this?

and even in the indictment provided by the prosecutor, out of thirty pages of conclusion 27, about what he said, and not even on january 6, about what i said on my show before and after, in my opinion, it is there that you are accused of distributing the quote "disinformation about elections." disinformation does not mean that what you said is incorrect, it is not the same as a lie or untrue, it simply means that the information is inconvenient for those in power. how can the government publicly admit that they are sending you to prison for disagreeing with the elections and continue to call themselves a democracy. it's fun.

and the other one doesn't, but you know, let's get back to this dubious cooperation with so it's strange that one side can do this, the government, i'd like to clarify something here, tucker, it was said that my cooperation with the federal government meant that i went against donald trump, that i went against...

that was their idea, that i led what happened on january 6th and that people entered the capitol, everything else, and that all this has already been proven, hey, here are all my correspondence, no one had such a plan, i have nothing to do with this, and i was not part of it building, they admit it, they admit it, but they still decided to take on me, and tucker, i have to say something else, part of my

decision to cooperate with them. there was an understanding, both mine and my lawyer’s, that they would not demand imprisonment, that’s exactly how everything was presented to us, but then they tried to put me away for 120 days , and it seems to me that this was not the decision of the us attorney's office, but of someone occupying a higher position in the department of justice, if not the highest, maybe it was mary garland who tried to put me behind bars to make me example, yes, there is more trust in the mafia than in...

went through this not only for the phenomenon of an obvious example of imprisonment for speech, an obvious example of a word crime, which has now become a precedent and can be used against any journalist, which makes me worry not just for me for the moment, but for future victims. they will now be afraid to speak, to continue to work as an honest journalist, but there was something else that was revealed to me in everything that happened. that the ministry of justice and their intention to imprisonment is all wrong, i , of course, can tell you how everything was there, everything was pretty terrible, tucker, i spent most of the time in solitary confinement, i was taken from solitary confinement to a special building for making calls , in which i thanked people for writing me letters, people who were already in prison decades, some of those who worked there for decades, when they saw all

this in prison they... they call it an order, they said that they had never seen anyone punished for this before, i was sent to prison for my words, and then for my words, they put me in a prison inside a prison, and you know, while i was there, i talked a little with people there, they all said the same thing, listen, owen, we don’t like what’s going on with is happening here with you, but orders come from the very top, in this the prison has problems not with us, you, even while you are here, have problems with the people above? and i want people to know this, no one has ever heard of being sent to federal prison for misdemeanors, no one has ever heard of being taken to a separate building to make calls, where i thanked people for their letters, and i don't know , why did they decide to make an example of me, because i only spoke the truth and said it straight to their faces when i could, but tucker...
