00:00going on roller coasters. I would just want it. But, you know, he talks to her roads and he's like,
00:04we're not done. We got to, you know, focus down and get these other guys out. It's just like,
00:10okay, do you ever think about anybody? Do you ever think about yourself?
00:13You ever stopped being so, so generous and considerate and principled? I mean,
00:20they really are the best people in the world, which is why the Biden administration
00:24imprisoned them. And of course, you know, this is where we're at now. The pardons have been
00:30signed and have been ordered, but they're not being honored. So it only makes sense that the
00:36guys that had experienced this, you know, feel for their fellow inmates who have not yet got to feel
00:41the freedom that they've been granted from President Trump. And one of the people that
00:46should be pardoned, should be released, and yet isn't is friend of the show, Green Beret,
00:53by Jeremy Brown. Chris Hedges is Jeremy Brown's lawyer. He joins us today to talk about Jeremy
00:59Brown's case and where it is and what comes next. You can go to whoisjeremybrown.com or
01:04jeremybrowndefense.com to contribute to the ongoing legal battles there. Thanks so much for joining
01:11us today, Chris. Thank you for having me, Harrison. Have a great day. I'm very happy to be here to
01:18support my friend Jeremy. Yeah, I'm glad you're here too. I'm troubled that he is not out yet,
01:24that he apparently is, his case is being handled a little bit differently than the other January 6th
01:30casers. Give us a rundown of what exactly is happening with Mr. Brown's case. Sure. Jeremy
01:36is kind of unique in the sense that he does not have just one January 6th case. He's got his quote
01:41unquote January 6th case in DC, which was dismissed with prejudice because he was only in the indictment
01:48phase. He hadn't gone to trial based on President Trump's pardon in Section B, Paragraph 3, I believe.
01:56Unfortunately, Jeremy has a Tampa case that resulted from an unconstitutional, facially deficient
02:02search warrant that was issued at the same time as his arrest warrant. And what happened was when that
02:10search took place, certain things were found in his property. He went to trial and was convicted.
02:18But because it's not a traditional January 6th case, I don't think it got lumped in with all the
02:26other cases that were there, whether that was because the president didn't know about it specifically
02:30or they're reviewing it independently. Yeah, so it's kind of weird, right? Because
02:37it's not technically a strictly January 6th case, but it all came about because of January 6th,
02:44right? So it's all sort of in the same milieu, but it's not a direct. He's being charged for the
02:49events on January 6th. He's being charged for the results of a search warrant that were themselves
02:54the results of January 6th, right? Do I have that correct? 100%. It's the same facts and circumstances.
03:01So when you look at all the details, Jeremy was accused of potentially having explosives and other
03:11things. So they requested a search warrant under the terrorism and domestic terrorism section of
03:20Rule 41B in the Federal Rules Criminal Procedure. And the magistrate out of D.C. issued that search
03:29warrant for his residence in Florida. And among the things that were discovered on his property were
03:36grenades, quote-unquote classified material, and firearms that, you know, did not fall within legal
03:46terms because of the nature of their short barrel rifle. And Jeremy has contended from the very
03:53beginning those grenades were planted. There was a CD of classified material that he was charged with
04:00possessing that he was acquitted of at trial that he also contended was planted evidence. There was a
04:07document that he was convicted of that was alleged to be classified material, but based on law within the
04:18United States, I don't think it would have qualified to be classified, even if it had classified
04:23material in it. And then there's two short barrel rifle charges based on Supreme Court case precedent
04:29and recent district court precedent that would have been very persuasive. Those two firearms charges should
04:36have been challenged and not deemed to be a violation of law either. So he was convicted on six of 10 counts,
04:44all of which are highly suspect in my opinion.
04:47And of course, all of this stems from Jeremy Brown being wrapped up in this when the FBI came to him
04:54as a former Green Beret, knowing that he had connections to organizations like the Oath Keepers
04:58and came to him and asked if he wanted to be an informant, if they wanted to, if Jeremy wanted to
05:04work with them, maybe in an undercover capacity. And he actually filmed this interaction and released it.
05:09And that's when all of his troubles got started. I mean, I guess if he'd just gone along with them
05:13and and become a snitch, you know, they would have left him alone or maybe even rewarded him.
05:17But this is what he gets for telling the American people about the tactics that the FBI is using to try to
05:22entrap patriots. So, I mean, the whole thing was was rotten from the beginning.
05:27And if I understand it, last time I talked to Jeremy, you know, he could have taken a plea deal,
05:33but chose not to chose to to take it to court. They've, you know, delayed and delayed.
05:38He's been in prison for over twelve hundred days at this point, has even had a trial yet.
05:43I mean, where is the the trial at in the process at this point?
05:48So he was convicted in Tampa in the end of twenty twenty three, beginning end of twenty twenty two,
05:55beginning of twenty twenty three, I believe. So that's why he's still in prison at this point in time.
06:02His D.C. trial will never occur because it was dismissed with prejudice by the United States of America.
06:07You know, as to. As to, you know, where things really are going, you know, he is an exceptional.
06:18He is an exceptional appellate attorney who, if he hasn't already, I believe, will be filing additional paperwork for a a pardon.
06:27He had he had spoken with Jeremy about that prior to the inauguration and the certification.
06:37I don't think he would have presented that material to to the United States government until President Trump was inaugurated.
06:44Jeremy actually had a telephone scheduled with his lawyer for yesterday at two p.m.
06:51But because of the technicalities of what transpired, he was initially told that he was going to be released.
06:57He was taken out of his cell. And then when he got to the U.S.
07:01Marshals, they said you're not being released because of your Tampa conviction. He was returned back to his cell.
07:06And that time frame is where his actual phone call with his lawyer would have been.
07:10So there's some unanswered questions that we have right now as to whether or not there's a pardon already either in the works or an application for a pardon in the works for Tampa.
07:19And if that has actually been submitted, I will be following up with his appellate counsel for his Tampa trial shortly after this call.
07:27So I wonder if it if it was a conviction in Tampa, is that a federal case or is that a state case?
07:34Yes, it's a federal case. So, you know, it's everything was federal charges.
07:38And honestly, that's actually probably a good thing, because what we saw yesterday was Donald Trump is extremely committed to the rule of law and justice in how he decided to address the January 6th political prisoner problem.
07:56And I have a lot of hope and faith that Jeremy will be getting a pardon from Donald Trump because of something else that happened yesterday, I believe.
08:04So I believe Ross Albrecht, who is the developer, founder of a site called Silk Road, received a full and unconditional pardon because of the weaponization of the federal government against him.
08:19And I think anyone who takes the time to truly look at the details of of Jeremy's case, and I mean, they're very significant, very detail oriented issues.
08:28I think they would see that there was a lot of weaponization as to the process against Jeremy, like you said, because he'd come out as a whistleblower.
08:42He had told them no to be in a CHS, and then he'd refused a pardon to refused a plea deal, which would have sat there and basically ended that case for him.
08:53So when you think about it, Jeremy Brown may be one of the only political prisoners from January 6th that didn't have to actually be in prison.
09:03And because of his personal code of honor, he sat there and said, I will take up this fight for the American people.
09:12And I mean, that's pretty heroic in my eyes.
09:14Well, yeah, and I mean, the dude is the definition of a hero.
09:18I mean, if you've ever looked into like what it takes to become a Green Beret and what those guys go through, not just in training, but once they're deployed.
09:24I mean, you know, it's it's it's an admirable was not surprised to me that, you know, he's willing.
09:30He has the constitution to put up with this and the the, you know, fortitude to withstand the pressure to bend or to, you know, to take a plea deal.
09:40These guys are made of different stuff and it's it's a double edged sword, I guess, because he could have taken the easy way out.
09:47But, you know, obviously, that's not something he's he could live with himself if he were to do.
09:51And I totally get that. And you shouldn't have to.
09:53Laura Logan has been championing this and talking quite about quite a bit about it.
09:57She says that when President Trump met Lisa Brown, he promised her he would free her son, Jeremy, a decorated Green Beret who served his country with distinction.
10:05Jeremy still being held in the D.C. Gulag.
10:06But today, Lisa said she has faith. The president will not break his word.
10:10Do you know if the if the president is is on this case specifically?
10:15Because as you mentioned, he, you know, pardoned Ulbrich yesterday.
10:18So it's not just the January Sixers that are that are getting pardons, but it's something that has to be brought to his attention.
10:23And he has to actually taken, you know, do an individual pardon in this case.
10:28Do you think that's happening? Do you think Trump is aware of it?
10:30What do you know about that?
10:31So when that original meeting took place, it took place a long time ago.
10:37And it's entirely possible, unfortunately, that the president may have forgotten about that specific incident.
10:42However, I know I've personally been in contact with several members of Congress that know about Jeremy's case.
10:50I've done an interview as to whether or not Jeremy should be a whistleblower before the government weaponization committee subcommittee that hasn't moved forward at this point in time.
11:03But we're in a transition phase between between terms of Congress.
11:08So I still have faith that the the Congress will call Jeremy before them as a as a whistleblower witness to the the events of January six.
11:20I reasonably believe that members of Congress have spoken to the president about Jeremy's case.
11:25And, you know, as soon as I touch base with his appellate lawyer to determine whether or not a formal appeal request has been submitted, you know, that is an avenue that will be pursued as well.
11:41If it hasn't been done so already, no, no avenue that is available will be remain unexhausted.
11:50Hmm. What about Jeremy? Have you have you talked to Jeremy? I mean, how how is he holding up?
11:56I mean, that's just brutal to say you're getting out to take you all the way to the marshal's office only to send you back to the cell.
12:02That's just that's just cruel and unusual. I guess it was a mistake.
12:06We can give him the benefit of the doubt. But, you know, I can't imagine that's that's an easy thing to go through to have that hope offered and then ripped away and then dangled in front of you.
12:14I mean, how's he holding up? Have you been able to talk to him or has anybody been able to get in contact with him to find out sort of how he's feeling right now?
12:20So I've had text messages through the jail communication system with him.
12:28You know, he's found himself in an awkward situation where stuff that he originally had in his cell prior to thinking he was going to be released is no longer there up to and including, you know, aspects of his ability to use his tablet with for for phone calls, et cetera, with headphones and what have you.
12:47You know, you know, Jeremy had told me a long time ago that, you know, there is always a breaking point.
12:56You know, there's never a point where anyone can hold out forever.
13:01I hope that this isn't a point where he's, you know, reached that breaking point.
13:05You know, but, you know, his faith really is is in the American people.
13:11And, you know, in that faith is that, you know, the American people will not leave him where he's currently at.
13:19You know, that's why you can sit, you know, anyone who is interested could look at, for example, you know, magamouse.com, you know, backslash postcards where there is an ongoing campaign postcard campaign to make it, you know, Jeremy's situation.
13:32You know, bring that to the attention of Congress, you know, specific relevant committees, et cetera.
13:38You know, there have been a tremendous number of great people who have, you know, engaged in that activity already.
13:45And, you know, I think with with more attention to Jeremy's case, you know, Congress will not be able to turn a blind eye to it.
13:55And by default, I don't think the president will either.
13:58But it requires, you know, Americans to make their voice heard on this issue.
14:03Absolutely.
14:04And of course, we encourage our audience, you know, call your congressmen, call your senators.
14:08Give us that website again.
14:09Is this a website that people can actually use the website to send postcards to congressmagamouse.com?
14:15Correct.
14:15And basically, my understanding is how this works is there are pre-created postcards of Jeremy Brown in this specific situation.
14:24And they're pre-addressed to where they're supposed to go.
14:28You contact the website.
14:30You request the postcards.
14:31The postcards are sent to you free of charge, I believe.
14:34And all you would then be responsible for would be putting a stamp on it, putting it in the postal service.
14:40Well, that's easy.
14:40It's almost too slow to me.
14:42I don't know.
14:42I'm impatient.
14:43I just say make a phone call.
14:45Just call the office.
14:46I mean, do whatever you can.
14:47But, you know, honestly, if just 1% of the people listening to my voice right now actually took five minutes out of their day to reach out to a congressman or try to get attention on Jeremy's case, you know, that can make a real tangible difference.
14:59So if you're hearing me right now and you care that there's a Green Beret, who, by the way, I spent a lot of time with Jeremy Brown while he was here in Austin with his lovely girlfriend and their two dogs.
15:10And it's the same with Stuart Rhodes, the same with Enrique Tarrio, all these guys.
15:14It's like they're painted as villains in the media, and then you talk to them, and they are genuinely the most moral, the most upright, the most, like, principled American patriots you could ever imagine.
15:25And just the nicest people, they would and have literally laid their lives down for total strangers.
15:31And for these people to be treated like this is just such a violation.
15:35So, yeah, we encourage, you know, anybody that, you know, cares about the way we treat our veterans or just the fact that this individual is being so heinously abused by our government, just take five minutes out of your day, put a little effort in.
15:49It really does make a difference.
15:50The more people that do it, the bigger the impact will be.
15:53So we really do encourage our audience.
15:56And maybe just make a post on X, just tag a congressman on X and talk about Jeremy Brown and try to get attention there.
16:02Whatever you can do, it's about all of us working together to reach that critical mass and get this to the right hands or, you know, get the right people's attention on it, which in this case would be Trump.
16:12So, yeah, we absolutely encourage that.
16:14What else can people do?
16:15Of course, they can go to whoisjeremybrown.com, magamouse.com to send that postcard, or jeremybrowndefense.com to contribute to the defense fund.
16:23But anything else people can do?
16:26I think it's just a matter of becoming involved.
16:29This constitutional republic only survives if we, the people, proactively act in our own self-governance.
16:39That means running for office.
16:41That means challenging your representatives when they're not upholding their jobs, not doing their jobs, not upholding the Constitution.
16:48It just requires that we all choose to participate actively and continuously.
16:52And I think that's kind of why we find ourselves in the place that we are, because, you know, collectively as a society, myself included, we become apathetic to our moral obligation and our actual duty as Americans.
17:06You know, so I don't know what every individual person's skill set would be.
17:12If you're lawyers, you might have the ability to sit there and engage in litigation to undo injustices like this.
17:20If you're media personalities, you could be speaking out about it.
17:23But the ability to do something is really predicated on what you have at your disposal.
17:30But I want to speak about that specific set of videos that you're playing right now, because it's very interesting.
17:37You're seeing the tail end of Jeremy Brown confronting verbally, expressing his First Amendment rights to the Capitol Police on the stairs right there.
17:47There's an interesting video that hasn't been shown yet, which shows what happens about five minutes before that, where Jeremy Brown spends two minutes standing over a woman who's on the ground about to be trampled by the Capitol Police.
18:05And dozens of Capitol Police officers are are sitting there and pushing on to him, obstructing him from rendering aid, not rendering aid themselves.
18:15And Jeremy sits there and spends the two minutes to ensure her overall safety before helping her to her feet and escorting her out.
18:23I mean, is that legitimately what what you would expect a vile, vicious human being to do?
18:29Or is that what you would expect, you know, of the basis of a good Samaritan?
18:35You know, he didn't have to sit there and put his body in harm's way to assist her.
18:40But based on all the oaths he's ever sworn to in his life, he was compelled to do so.
18:45And, you know, there there is good video.
18:48There are good stories out there that unfortunately the the legacy media chooses to avoid.
18:56Well, absolutely. And and again, you know, you talk about that.
18:59We can't be apathetic. And, you know, obviously that was the you know, Stuart Rhodes and Jeremy Brown and Enrique Tarrio.
19:06The their big mistake was not being apathetic.
19:08They just been apathetic. They just let their country be stolen.
19:11And, you know, the country would have left him alone.
19:13It's they're they're you know, they're punished for being heroes.
19:16They're punished for not being apathetic.
19:17They're punished for actually wanting to take a stand, do the right thing, lawfully and legally stand up against the tyrannical nature.
19:25Are increasingly in a tyrannical nature of the United States government.
19:28So, you know, this this is supposed to teach us a lesson, right?
19:32Imprisoning these guys is a message to the rest of us.
19:34If you want to try to stand up against us, doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter how upright and good your life has been.
19:40We will destroy you.
19:42And that's not a lesson we're going to let them teach us.
19:44It's not a lesson we're ready to learn.
19:45And it's certainly not a lesson that's going to penetrate Jeremy Brown's patriotism because, you know, there's these guys, again, are just made out of something different.
19:54So, you know, it's exactly right.
19:56The lesson we need to take from this is the opposite of what they're trying to convince us that apathy will keep you safe.
20:01Just just go about your business.
20:03Leave the government to do whatever the hell it wants and you'll be left alone.
20:06We need to learn the opposite lesson from this is that they fear non apathetic people.
20:11They fear people that are engaged and involved and standing up against them.
20:15They're terrified of these guys.
20:17So we got to learn the opposite lesson from this.
20:20What's next for Jeremy Brown?
20:21When do we expect an update to this?
20:23Is there anything coming down the pipeline?
20:25Anything, you know, any calls you're expecting?
20:26I mean, when are we going to learn one way or the other the fate of Jeremy Brown?
20:30These aren't calls I'm expecting.
20:32These are calls I'll have to be making myself.
20:34So first call would be to his appellate lawyer to find out where things stand, whether or not he had filed an appeal,
20:41whether or not or a request for a pardon.
20:45If not, you know, are we going to be the next calls will be to some of the congressmen and the offices of congressmen I've personally spoken to.
20:54Then it's it's media.
20:57You know, I've been with Jeremy Brown since he was in Pinellas County Jail and I don't do interviews.
21:03Um, I, I tend to want the system to operate the way it is intended to, and I don't necessarily want to try things in the court of public opinion.
21:14However, you know, where things currently stand now, when Jeremy asked me whether or not I would do an interview for him with InfoWars, I said unequivocally, yes.
21:23You know, there's nothing I won't do to sit there and, you know, help him in a lawful and legal manner.
21:30Um, you know, and even if that's doing things that I otherwise do not want to do or would not want to do like this interview, um, I don't like to be in the spotlight.
21:39So, you know, I have this interview, I have a couple calls to be made to make, I have a follow up interview that I was requested to do for another platform.
21:50Um, you can also see Carol Stewart.
21:52She was Jeremy Brown's, uh, criminal defense lawyer for his DC charges that were dismissed.
21:59She is a zealous and passionate advocate for Jeremy.
22:02She'll be on other, on some other, um, on some other, uh, networks and, uh, stations, et cetera, later this afternoon, this evening.
22:11You know, she might be someone else who could provide you with a, an opinion on what Jeremy is going through, where things stand, et cetera.
22:18Well, we'll definitely, we'll definitely be sticking to this, uh, story.
22:22Thank you so much for joining us.
22:23Chris Hedges, go to who is Jeremy Brown?
