And they were all live texting the FBI going crowd boys didn't start it, Crowd boys didn't knock it on the fence, Crowd boys didn't do it. And then those guys aren't allowed to come to trial. Then the end of the trial comes up and they go, OK, look, there was no plan, all right? They didn't see a plan. But at one point in time, you see Joe Big Nordeen fist bump each other. And at that point in time, through telekinesis, they shot these mind waves through the crowd.
And everyone knew that there was a conspiracy. They joined it with that hand that fist bumped. And we all entered into an agreement to stop the certification of the election and overthrow the government. You can't even make this up. All interviewers have their own style, and my style is to try to get to the point and to be intensely curious. And the key to interviewing is listening. Take a look. Behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and American
patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment defender and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraf. Well, hello, my friends. Welcome to the Sunday Sit down. Really appreciate you joining me
today. I'm going to be talking to a man named Joe Biggs. If you need some context, you can always go back and check out the show that we restreamed yesterday, and that was a phone call that we had from his first couple days in the DC gulag, or at least right after his sentencing happened. And I think it's good for historical context. Joe Biggs was a proud boy. He's an American veteran, he's a father, and he was recently commuted from his sentence by Donald Trump.
It's a hard story to hear listening to somebody who is in a bad spot right now because he's caught between a rock and a hard place. You can hear the story in his own words and I think that's really fair. Before we do, I want to talk about somebody that is supporting our ability to sit down and do these long form conversations and give people all the time that they want to be able to share their story. And those people are Patriot Mobile. You can go to
patriotmobile.com/KSS. And just because we won the election, there are still things to do, maybe some pardons of some folks that deserve it. The fight to restore our American nation here is only beginning, and it's time to take a stand. Patriot Mobile is a way that you can do that. They are the only Christian conservative wireless provider in America. And Patriot Mobile offers you a way to vote with your wallet. You don't have to compromise on quality.

They're not just giving you exceptional cell phone service, they're also going to give you US based tech support. If you currently have wireless service for a cell phone in the United States, you can switch to Patriot Mobile and they make it really easy. You can keep your phone, you can keep your phone number, you can get rid of it. You can upgrade.

Seraphin show. Let's get into today's guest conversation with Joe Bates. So my guest today is Joe Biggs, and the last time I talked to him, it was on a phone either in a jail or a prison cell. Where were you last time we spoke? Yeah, I was at the what they like to call the DC Gulag. So that's where I was at. I got the spend a few months there after the BS sentencing. Horrible, Absolutely horrible. We had 15 minutes.
We got cut off by the the nice lady recording that tells you that the your time is up. Obviously your circumstances have changed. Let's let's refresh people with your story 'cause I think a lot of people probably don't know and it's it's important that it doesn't go away. Yeah. So, you know, I joined the Army after 911. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was in the 82nd Airborne. I was in the First Armored Division.
I got out, got into journalism, missed the camaraderie of having, you know, being around a bunch of guys, shooting the shit talking, having fun. So I found out about this group, the Proud Boys, right when they first kind of started up, I met with them a few times in Austin, TX. And I didn't like them because I thought they were very feminine. And that's just that group there in Austin. So I kind of, so I said, screw those guys, man. I don't want to be a part of that.
But then I moved back to Florida and I was like, man, these dudes are like really good man. Like these dudes are squared away, you know, they're, they're all cops and stuff like that, you know, former military guy. So I mean, we had like a, a connection, a link there. So I really delved into the whole, the whole thing then. And I worked at Infowars for a while. I covered terrorism riots. I was there for the Michael Brown hands up, don't shoot thing. I was there for months covering
that. I was at the Botticon theater attacks in Paris when ISIS went, I went on raids with the police in Saint Benny when they chased the ISIS fighters all the way into molobic Belgium. So, you know, I've been all over covering things. So I've I've been through hell and I got to go through it again. So, you know, when January 6th happened, the last thing I ever expected was that I would be framed for seditious conspiracy.
You know, we're a bunch of, you know, fun loving guys who like to drink beer and, you know, maybe talk some, you know, trash on, on the Internet, But that's really about as far as it go. There is no seditiousness within our group. But, you know, it just shows you how far this country's fallen and, and how bad things are and how corrupt it got. And, you know, now my goal is to try to educate people on what it's like on the inside when you're getting screwed over like
that. And it's interesting to be able to talk to someone, you know, like you, that's been on a different side of that spectrum. So that's why I really wanted to. I look forward to doing this. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, too. So I just finished talking to Stuart Rhodes. We just did this yesterday, and I spent five hours talking to him, which is an awful long time to talk to anybody that you never met. But the injustice of it stands out pretty aggressively. Let's talk about what?
What elements of seditious conspiracy? How did they, how did they determine that, that they'd laid out a case that a jury could, could vote on? I mean, we knew it was in DC, so I mean. The, the, the, the, the lawyers, the prosecutors even told our lawyers throughout the entire trial there's no way that they could win the case unless it was in DC. They knew they had no case whatsoever. They just knew that all they had to do was get us in front of ADC jury and then make that jury hate us.
And that's exactly what they did. I don't remember. I don't recall how many times I looked over at Dominic Pozzola or Ethan Ordean and and went, are we going to talk about January 6th during this trial? Because all they did was play videos of other people in street fights with people who pulled a weapon or antagonize the group. And then that person defended themselves against a group like Auntie for Bill and then attack them. And then they go look at this, these guys are racist white
people. And you know, you've got 90% of the jury that's black and they're just sitting there just fermenting. 8. And you know, we very rarely ever talked about January 6th. And when we did, there was nothing really to talk about because we didn't do anything. I walked into an open door with two girls. One of them asked me, what do you think about this? And I go, man, this is kind of awesome. I mean, didn't expect this to happen. I walk up to a cop with his arms folded.
That's how scared he is of me. And I said he goes, what do you, what can I help you with today, Sir? And I go, well, I kind of go, you need to use the restroom. I need to go pee real quick. And he showed me where the restroom was. And I go with some friends. We use the restroom. We don't destroy the restroom. We don't putting the graffiti on the wall. We don't steal anything. I pee and I leave.
Then I realize once I get outside of the Capitol building that I can't find one of my friends. So I go back in and open door. The cops watch me walk by. There's no push and shove, there's no anything like that, no animosity. I walk right past him. I go and look in a few doors, don't see him to leave, and eventually run into that guy later on in the evening and link up with him. That's it. That's all that happened that day.
And that somehow turned into seditious conspiracy that that that, that we somehow had planned to overthrow the government. The government had access to all communications. They used the FISA courts to spy on us. They had access to everything. And we had transcripts of everything we've said on Telegram, Facebook, Twitter, Parlor, whatever it may be.
And not once in six months leading up to that attack did any of us ever mention the words insurrection, overthrowing the government, capital, anything like that. Never. It was never mentioned at all. But still, they said they won during the trial. They said by the end of the trial, you'll see a clear leadership here to overthrow the government and install Donald Trump. Then the end of the trial comes up and they go, OK, look, there was no plan, all right?
We didn't see a plan. But at one point in time, you see Joe Big Nordine fist bump each other. And at that point in time, through telekinesis, they shot these mind waves through the crowd and everyone knew that there was a conspiracy. They joined it with that hand that at this bump and we all entered into an agreement to stop the certification of the election and overthrow the government. You can't even make this up.
No, you can't. I listened to Stewart lay out his case and essentially they had a similar argument that when the men stacked up, that's what they called it stacking up, but it was guys walking a straight line upstairs. That that was the subliminal subconscious agreement to enter into conspiracy. That's the way that he
articulated. I sort of remember hearing that from somebody else as well and and going like what planet are we on and how would you, how does a jury go with that and go, OK, that that's obviously beyond a reasonable doubt. It was because the judge was corrupt.
I mean, the judge, his wife at the time during the trial was an assistant to Mayor Muriel Bowser, the ASAUSA prosecutors that were over us, you know, prosecuting us was his old team that he was in charge of. So it was one big hot tub, one big, you know, you know, just menage a trois of just the same people who have all been a part of the same thing, working together in tandem to screw us over. They all had the narrative planned out.
They knew exactly what they do, what had to do, what to say, the lies to to to use, and they stuck by it. And that's all they did was inflamed and piss off the jury. They tried to show videos of someone hitting some person, but it was never one of us. It was never one of the five of us leaders, you know, that that were involved in any type of violence or anything like that. But they would show these random street fights and go see, these guys are evil.
They're mean. We've got to throw them in jail. But then the judge would go. But wait, this isn't about the Proud Boys. This is about these five gentlemen. So why aren't you showing anything about the five gentlemen sitting in front of you and instead only showing videos of random people in street fights across the country? What does it have to do with us? But the jury sat there hook, line and sinker and bought it. The the foreman, the head juror, he was a trans right activist in DC.
How was that not, you know, you can't make this stuff up at all. I mean, these guys are bigger conspiracy theorists than a lot of the bigger ones out there. You know, it's, it's, it's crazy. It's so hard to it's so hard to fathom. I think the craziest thing is it seems like time might have stayed still for you guys for a little while because you've obviously you go into to to prison and things are going to be kind of locked.
You don't have an experience of the outside world other than what you're getting through a radio or, you know, whether it be a wind up or you're, you know, get some Internet activity a little bit here and there, but you're not experiencing it the way everything else. And and the world kind of kept moving. Let's I want to walk back in time and kind of get mindset if it's feasible. I don't know if we can we can capture that.
But let's go to 2020. Let's talk about the beginning of 2020 as people started talking about COVID and some of the like the shenanigans that went on in this country that made the Proud Boys so villainized. And and maybe you can give some insight from the Proud Boys end of it, because all I remember hearing about was Gavin McGinnis had to step away from his own group.
And, you know, just there was just like this full court media press looking for something that it didn't seem like actually existed. Yeah, they, you know, they, they, they liked us to be the boogeyman. That that's what they wanted. They needed someone to be the bad guy. So they picked us and and they wanted, they wanted us to be the face of white supremacy.
But that in itself is a farce because you know, the person who took over after Gavin McGinnis is one of my best friends, Enrique Tario and he's Afro Cuban. We have multiple guys in the club who are black, gay, Jewish. Guess what? If you want to be in the Proud Boys, you have to a be born a man 2 love America and three get along with everybody and have a good time.
That's it. You know, we, we, we either are, we like to consider ourselves Alcoholics with a patriot problem or patriots with a alcohol problem, you know, back and forth. But we all just like to sit around and drink and talk BS and have a good time. When the Covic thing happened, when they started forcing people in the military to take these shots, you know, a lot of the guys would put up videos. We would talk about that.
We we didn't like that we like we believe in dangerous freedom, the the ability to make our own decisions as to what we put in our body. For me, I believe God made me the perfect just how I am. You know that my skin is able to stop these things from entering in it. That's why we have it. I don't need to have all this stuff. And that's just my what I believe. You know, if you want to take all these injections, that's fine. But, you know, we don't feel that way.
And that should be OK. But they like to villainize us over things like that. We didn't believe in transgender story time. We don't believe in these, you know, dudes with the sex offender charges, dressing up like women coming into our public schools and libraries, talking to little children that already have charges on them against, you know, sexual acts on children.
So we had a big issue with that. That's another thing that the left didn't like because they're all about destroying children and innocence and things like that. What about the I don't know if it was a beef or if it was an imagined beef, but there's apparently you're kind of the rivalry or the, you know, one side of the coin. The other side of the coin, it's Proud Boys and it's Antifa and and there has to be, you know, fist thrown, there have to be
words exchanged. There has to be this sort of like, you know, nemesis operation happening in places. What was that? Was that constructed? Was that real? Did that grow into something real, ever? It's grown into something very real. I mean, to a point where they have shot people and run them over like we will have our events. And then they would show up and become extremely psychotic and violent. They would attack Proud Boys. They would attack Trump
supporters. And we saw that and said, no, we're not going to sit there and take that. We would watch on the news all the time, Trump supporters sitting outside of his rallies being jumped by Antifa. And we decided to go to these events as a whole around the country and kind of play as a security because no one else was helping them. So we decided, hey, we're a bunch of alpha men, why not go out there? Why not say, you know what, enough is enough.
Let's try to put it into this. So that turned into a whole thing. And these people just started showing up at all these events and they would show up trying to kill people, run them over with cars, anything they could.
And then somehow the the CNN and all these different agencies would say that we were the ones antagonizing that just my coming to Portland and having an event was enough for them to be triggered and to kill us. There was no like, well, it's OK for them to have their right to free speech. Maybe let's just not go to their event and leave them alone.
No, no, no. So my coming to Portland, the mayor called me out and said you're not welcome here, Joe Biggs and supported Antifa in trying to kill us and that has escalated. It was just what I'm just trying to remember what what, what laws in America, in any city, allow the mayor to to exclude people from visiting. Yeah, it was him and Mayor Marty Walsh from Boston that didn't like me either. He put out a thing for me,
saying I wasn't welcome. I actually gave a speech at the Boston Commons with Shiva Ardari and a man who quoted Martin Luther King. And we were screamed at and 60,000 people showed up to protest us while there was a group of maybe 30 of us. We had to be escorted out in Paddy wagons through a sea of people while helicopters from news agencies flew overhead. And all you saw were thousands upon thousands of people losing in their mind over us talking about freedom of speech in America.
How do we get like that in this country? We took God ever out of everything. That's my opinion. Evil has completely taken over and it is run rampant. We don't hold things that are good close to our hearts anymore. We don't value the innocence of children. We don't value the sanctity of our families and our marriages. We sit here on dating apps and we go around and do drugs and drink until we're just absolute psychotic individuals.
We're too concerned with ourselves and what's easily available to please us, instead of fighting for what we should be fighting for, which is our family, the future of our children, and the better of our nation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Proud Boys have one of these sort of cardinal pillars that Western chauvinism, Western chauvinist was the thing I remember Gavin McGinnis talking about. Can you explain what? Because it sounds like that's what you just explained to me.
But there's more to it, or maybe there's less to it. I don't know. I mean, I mean, that's it. I mean, that's, that's, that's loving your country. That's, that's, that's being proud that the West is the best, that we are the forefront of doing the right thing. You know, we are a beacon that that's there's there's no one leaving America, jumping on a raft and going to Cuba and so on and going help us. It's the other way around. People come here for a better life.
People come here for an opportunity to pull themselves up by their straps and do something. And it can, anybody can come to this country, black, white, whatever, and make something of themselves and become successful business owners, entrepreneurs, fathers, mothers, whatever they want to be. That's why this place is so awesome. And that's why it's imperative that people stand up and fight for it because this is the
greatest country in the world. There's too many people here that say, oh, America sucks, America isn't great. Have you ever left where you're from, like in Portland, OR? Probably not. But I've been all over the world. I've been to more countries than I can even think of. My passports are stamped and booked. I've got numerous of them.
I've been all over the place. And I can guarantee you everyone out there wants to be here because it is the best, because we have the best people who are willing to fight and die for it. And that's why it is such a precious place, and that's why it deserves men and women to stand up and fight for it. Been a bunch of places. I agree with you. It does feel like mostly people want to come to the United States if they have an opportunity. There's not a lot of second runners up.
If of the places that you've visited, what are some other places that would be runners up to the United States that you would be like, yeah, this is a tolerable place to live? Where would you, where would you, you know, put down some roots if you had to? Maybe top two other alternatives? I mean, the only, the only way I would live in some of these other places is just for the fact that I've been through the ringer so bad that I just don't like being around people anymore.
And I like to be out and kind of the wilderness and I love to surf. I would move to Costa Rica pretty quick. I like Costa Rica. I like Panama, but you know, I used to like Australia. I went to Australia when I was young. The man they have, they're, they're really falling behind. And you know, we have a chapter out there.
You know, I'm banned from New Zealand, I'm banned from Sweden, I'm banned from Canada. I'm banned from all kinds of different countries just for being someone who doesn't want children to be, you know, sexually molested by dudes dressed up like women at school story hours, You know, just that that that belief alone right there was enough to get me banned from multiple countries. When did When did these bans come in effect? Was that before the conviction?
Yeah, yeah, this was like 2018. In 2018, I got banned from all social media platforms, all the banks I was in and multiple countries. And get this, I had just landed in DC to speak at a a freedom of speech event on the 4th of July at Freedom Plaza. And on the way there in the cab with my whole crew of people, I got banned. I'm I'm trying to go live to talk about the event because I was going to be emceeing it. It was me, Gavin McGinnis, Roger Stone, all kinds of different people.
And we're in the cab going up there and like, all right, guys, I'm on Instagram, we're going live, blah, blah, blah, blah, boom, zip. All right, I'm going to switch over to Facebook real quick. Zip. All right, I'm going to go to Periscope on Twitter. Gone. Then the next thing you know, my my phone starts beeping. You've been banned from Airbnb. Boom. Chase. Chase Bank has just banned you. Boom. Bank of America just banned you. Boom. All of it in one day. Within 30 minutes.
And that was in 2018. Yes, I just got social media back for the first time since then. What a wild arc. And. Who? Who else was getting cancelled when you were OK? So who else was getting cancelled in 2018? Laura Loomer, Alex. Jones. OK. Alex Jones wanted to give me the award that he got from being the most cancelled person because I think I surpassed him. I mean, I got cancelled so bad. They, you know, falsely charged me and convicted me of seditious conspiracy.
That's how much they didn't like me or Enrique Tario. It, it, it blows my mind that just standing up for good, wholesome American values is enough to make you a domestic terrorist. And with that, I'm not going to lie, I kind of take that as a badge of honor.
So when I was in prison, I got the word terrorist tattooed across my chest because, you know, what if being a terrorist means I don't want kids to be raped, that I don't want our borders wide open, that I want, you know, I believe in, you know, borders, language, culture.
Same thing to Michael Savage always says that I believe in God, that I believe in freedom of speech, that I believe that men should be men, that women should be women, that we shouldn't have trannies running around in our military services. If that makes me a terrorist, well then call me vanilla ISIS. You look Wilder than the last time that I spoke to you. You had a you had a beard, at least the pictures that we had that were the most current. Before you, you went in, you had
longer hair. Now you've got, what is this like kind of a Mohawk going on? What is it? The Mohawk was way longer because it's kind of like, like you got to have like your own thing. That was my nickname and Joe was Mohawk, Trump or Proud Boy. That's what they all called me. They love me in there. Like people were hoping the, you know, the antifa, the BLM, the Democrat, they were all hoping that a guy like me was going to go into prison. I was going to break down.
I was going to snitch and get myself killed in prison. Instead, I went in there and everywhere I went, everyone treated me like a God. They love me. They respected the fact that I'm someone who know knows what they believe in, that stands up for what they believe in. And I had guys who are Bloods, Crips, what do you call them?
Gangster Disciples, Satan Disciples, Aryan Brotherhood, Aryan Brotherhood, Texas, all these dudes that they're just crazy hardcore, you know, gang guys coming up to me, shaking my hand, wanting pictures, wanting autographs, going, man, you, you stand for something. And that's something that we respect. And we want to know if we can join your group. And I would have black guys come to me all the time. Like, can a black guy let me join the problem as I go? Yeah.
It's not have nothing to do with white people, You know, So what they did is they really screwed up. They, they gave, that's an opportunity. And I hate this. People always ask me, do you regret what happened? I don't regret what happened because it's given me an opportunity to learn a lot.
I regret the time I miss with my daughter, you know, and that's about it. But I don't regret the fact that I got to meet all these people who now know that I'm not the person the media said I was and that the Proud Boys are not the organization that the media has portrayed us to be. And now thousands upon thousands of individuals who have families and talk to those families on the phone all know we're good stand up guys. And I sit here and I still stay in contact with these individuals.
And I'm going to make it my life's work to help a lot of these guys that are in there that I know who shouldn't be in there. Innocent people who are being held right now for crimes they didn't commit. And that's just not me listening to a story that they told me. That's me looking at the actual black and white, the actual paperwork put out by federal judges and things like that, the transcripts from their trials, knowing that they're in there right now for crimes they didn't commit.
So I want to help those guys out. It seems like they, they gave people on the political right, they being, I don't know, the left, the motivated media that was pushing a lot of this stuff forward, an opportunity to to have a new empathy for people in the prison system. And, and I don't know that that could have happened without January 6th. You think that's accurate?
Yeah, of course. You know, just like my mom, you know, myself when someone was in jail before, I used to think that anybody was in jail was probably there because they deserve to be. You don't really understand just how corrupt the system is until you get thrown through it the way we did when you're sitting in trial and the FBI is coming up there going, all right, we've got the evidence. It's going to get Joe Biggs right here. Here's a challenge coin by the Proud Boys.
Here's a Proud Boy T-shirt we found in his house. Here's a Proud Boy flag. And here's one time that he said he didn't like Rachel Maddow. And it's like, don't, don't, don't evil. You know, it's like, wow, really. Like, that's what we're here doing. And the, the the reporters would be like, man, he's got to go laughing all the time. I'm like, yeah, because if I'm going to get screwed, I might as well have a good time because I already knew that we were going
to lose. Because their entire goal was to piss off the jury. That was mostly black. That was a, you know, these guys were just going to hate us. Whatever. But I sat there every day and I would look at him and go, you guys should be embarrassed. You should be disgusted with yourselves. I don't know how to sleep at night. But we would sit there. You know, me and Enrique. Enrique would take naps. So when you're at the DC courthouse in the middle of the trial, they'd have like these
little 50 minutes breaks. They'd make you go down and walk through this whole area underground and you're all shackled in your arms, your ankles and all that stuff. And then they'd put you in a cell underground. We'll leave you there for a while. So Enrique would always take naps and I would take toilet paper and toilet paper and cover them in that. And the other inmates were sitting there like, man, you guys are getting screwed more than anybody.
You guys are having a good time. It's like, you know what? We're not going to let them break who who we are. We're going to sit here with our heads held high and we're going to survive this. And when we do survive this, we're going to come out on the other end and we're going to show everybody in the world just how messed up it is, just how corrupt these individuals are and just how deep it goes.
And I'm glad I've been given the opportunity to come home earlier than 17 years to actually talk about this. Yeah, I'm also glad all of it has been really disgusting. I think it's been illuminating. I think a lot of Americans have lost faith in a ton of different institutions, to include the Justice Department and the judiciary and a bunch of other
stuff. So some of this stuff is not going to hit, they're not going to be able to do to just get respect for what it is. I think a lot of folks, because of what happened to you guys, and I may be speculating, maybe it's just my own feelings, but I think people did have that default feeling like, oh, someone's in prison, somebody got charged with a crime. They probably did the crime. And yet we watched people who were not accused of violence
being sent away for 18 years. Look, I work for the FBI. I know what 18 years is. You can engage in creating child pornography and selling it. It's actually abusing children, selling it off for a profit and not catch 18 years. Al Capone got 11 years, I got 17. His restitution was 11,000 -, 3 million. And is that gone now or what? What? So what you were actually what? What? What did they actually convict you of? What were the the charges? Because I know it wasn't just
seditious conspiracy. So, so originally. So originally when when they blasted my face all over the Internet and said that I was one of the FB is most wanted, I called the Daytona Beach field office and I said, all right, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to negotiate a peaceful transfer. That way I don't have someone coming in and kicking in my door when my daughter's here. I didn't want that. So I called up there. They didn't seem to have any clue.
I wasn't on the radar at all. They're like, oh really, You were there? I didn't know that. And they're like, well, we'll give you some, you know, I'll call you back. A couple days later, this guy calls me back. I'm not going to say his name. He goes, well, yeah, we got to bring you in. So what do you want to do? And I go, well, I don't want you coming to my house, so can I meet you somewhere down the road? So they pick me up. They go, yeah, it's going to be really chill.
It's just going to be me and my partner coming to get you. And Camaro comes in all blacked out and a Charger comes in an SUV and an SUV and they all come out with guns. And I'm inside or I'm sitting out in this parking lot in front of this gymnastics center and I'm like, wow, I thought this was going to be pretty chill. And they're all like, hey, we need the safe. The the code to your safe. We've got agents already going through your place right now.
They ripped like kicked in the door, all this stuff. If they just told me like we're going to have people go in there, I just left the door open. But they destroyed that, went in there, just started taking everything. They took, you know, evidence that they could use against me, which was a brand new Xbox that I had just bought for Christmas still in the box. Some, I'm assuming some FBI agent over there, his kids got a brand new Xbox that they're using.
That was their Christmas gift. They took just the most random stuff, like I said, Proud Boy T-shirts, crowd boy flags that I had, like military gear that I had in my garage. I mean, I had the a permit to carry. I had every right imagine, you know, afforded to me as a retired Army veteran with a clean record. But they just took all this random stuff and it was just, it was mind blowing. You never think that something
like that can happen. And it's really amazing that, you know, when I turned myself in, they took me down there. They arraigned me at the federal courthouse in Orlando. I get this lawyer and he goes, all right, the USA lawyer, this female, she's only going to charge you with trespassing, picketing, parading in an in a place for a certain amount of time and there's no felonies. I was like, all right, let's do this. Hell yeah. I said, I'm glad I did this and turn myself in.
I get there and then the lady goes, well, actually we're, we've got a 20 year count, a felony for obstruction of an official proceeding. And then that's when it was like dunk, dunk, dunk. And everything changed. Everything changed. And the judge that day goes, all right, I'm going to order you to house arrest. They're going to put on an ankle monitor and the federal judge and DC is going to hit you up and he's going to be taking the
case over from there. So about a week later, Judge Kelly hits us up. We have a case before him. The prosecutors, Jason McCullough from AUSA in DC, they go, look, we've got this video, Mr. Biggs, his hand touches the fence, the same fence that 1000 other people are touching. Then his hand comes off and then like 10 seconds later, the fence goes down and the judge goes, this is stupid. He didn't knock the fence over. And he goes, all right, he gets
to stay on house, house arrest. So this trial does, I mean, this little online hearing is, is over because that, like you said, the COVID things going on. So we're doing all this stuff from our houses just like we're doing now. Well, all of a sudden a week later, the judge comes back with the same video and goes, man, you're a terrorist. He goes, what you did that day was terrorism.
And I go, wow, how did you go from telling the prosecutors that this was a joke, that what you just saw was not credible enough to show that I was a danger to society, that I've done anything that was violent and that I should be put in jail immediately? And somehow, in my opinion, someone got to him. Someone said, hey, this is the game plan and you got to change your mind.
And because you don't just change your mind like that, you don't go, this is stupid and why are you putting this before me in the court to wow, you're a terrorist all the sudden with the same video and go to jail. You know, So I had to stay in jail from April 20th all the way until January 20th, 3 weeks ago. And that was in 20. 20th of 2021 four years. What do we think? Like honestly, what what the hell could happen? What could someone do that would tell that would have a judge reverse?
You saw it, so you know, did he did he speak the same? Did he look the same? No, I mean, he came in there with vengeance that time. The second time around, he went from basically the first time chewing out the prosecution. I was like, man, I was like this guy squared away. I thought I was like, man, I was like, I think we actually got a good chance. He sees exactly what we see, that nothing happened. But then immediately, the very next hearing we had, he goes from nothing happened to that
was the worst day in the world. The prosecutor said that the words coming out of my mouth was akin to like fully automatic 556 rounds coming out of a squad automatic weapon into a crowd of people. I mean, literally using that kind of terminology, it's, it's frightening to think that just like that, you're at home with your family and then you're not and you don't know how long that's going to be.
And you're thrown into an entire different type of ecosystem with an entire different type of people, people who don't look at the truth the same way that we do, that loyalty and integrity and things like that. These are people who have had to cheat still, not just because they're they're would be bad people just because they've grown up in that type of environment for so long. That's just how they are.
So it's psychologically extremely draining to go into an environment where you can't trust anybody. You've constantly got to watch your back because the jealousy in people is insane. And it's just a different type of mindset. And it's hard to get used to that because here you are one day with your family, the next minute you're in a whole different world with guys. You know, when I was in solitary confinement, I was one of the only ones that was in there for that long.
I was in solitary confinement for the first two years of my four year sentence that I mean, not sentenced, but the four years that I was in basically pretrial. I was back there with the Lockerbie bomber. I was back there with an ISIS jihadi, a serial killer and two Ms. 13, the hitman. And they would talk through the doors and go, why are you here? And I would say I'm trespassing. And that's still debatable. What do they say to that? What do these guys even say to that?
They laugh, they go, man, you're, you're lying to us. And then eventually they would hear the radio and hear how I was being held in that place. And they would go, oh, man, you weren't lying. You're you're here for trespassing. That sucks. And then they would laugh or whatever like that. And I'd go, I mean, I, I don't blame you.
This is ridiculous. And what's crazy, when you got MS13 Hitman, you know, feeling bad for you and serial killers and you're going to trial with the Lockerbie bomber. It's it's yeah. It's really weird, You know, I. Mean that has to change you as a human being. And have you thought about some of the things that you don't think anymore because of that? Oh, of course. I, I, I've been telling everybody that the person who I was is dead. You, you, you've got to
completely change. Not just for survival. You know, I don't want people to misinterpret what I was saying. You know, like I said, people respected me everywhere I went. But that still doesn't mean you're not in prison. That still doesn't mean that there are individuals there who are just psychotic lunatic nut bags who will just slice your throat if you look at them wrong way. People are getting poisoned with fentanyl left and right, rumor mill. And these places are through the
roof. If you look like you're doing just a little bit better than someone else, they will hate on you and they will steal it from you. They will try to put a knife in you. You don't say, excuse me, just by walking by somebody. Then they they go and they look at you like, what am I here? Do I not exist to you? And the next thing you know, someone goes, hey, man, come over here. I want to show you this. And then four dudes jump on you and put knives in you. It's it's a whole other
environment. And it does change you. It changes you because you've got to survive. If you don't change, you die. You know, and I keep telling people they're like, well, you could have just talked to them and it could have made your time better. No, once you're labeled, you can't be labeled a snitch. It has to be in the paperwork. It has to be in the black and white. Once you have that on there and that you have ever cooperated or anything like that, you're dead.
And if you don't get killed at the spot you're at, as soon as you get transferred, you're dead. And it's not an easy way. They're going to gut you with the most dull piece of metal that they can find that they've cut from a bump, or they're going to throw fentanyl in something and tell you it's something else and feed you something and kill you right there and then you sit there and laugh at you while you throw up and foam out of the mouth.
What? Kind of things did you see while you did you see, I mean this, this sounds like experience that you're you're talking from what kind of stuff did you say that was I've given you that indication. I got stuck in a cell with a guy that I believe is probably one of the most pure evil people I've ever met. This guy smoked meth. He was shooting up meth. I had one cell, he tried to eat me because he was smoking what
is called deuce. I was sitting at my desk in my cell drawing, and I love to draw and paint, and I had all these art supplies. So I was sitting there and use that to occupy my time if I wasn't reading Jack Carr books or anything like that. And one day I'm just sitting there and I feel pressured on the back of my neck and this dude is tweaking out in the back of my neck because he is on this drug that's called deuce. It is a drug that is rampant in
the BOP. It is a piece of paper that is sprayed with all these different chemicals like raid and all this. And they take a little tiny piece of paper about that big and they wind up toilet paper and lighten the toilet paper till it's just burning red like a little ember. And they take that little piece of deuce and they drop it on there and they use a straw. Then they hop the smoke off of it.
And when they do that? Everyone reacts differently because you don't know what chemicals are in there. And this dude decided to try to take a bite out of me. I had to fight for my life. I had to take the lock from my locker and bash his head in, crack a skull open and I'm soaked in blood. He's on the ground twitching. The CEO comes in. He goes, what the Hell's happened in Biggs? I go look at here. He was like, this dude just tried to eat me.
I was like, he just took a bite out of the back of my neck and I had to bash his head in. You know, you don't know what that's like. You can't imagine that. You can't imagine just to sit there and then some crazy person bites you and you're not knowing that this guy's like legit, you know, whatever's going on. So I bash his head in and the dude just the cop looks at me and he goes, what do you want to do? And I go, so I hope he's not
dead. I was like, but get the hell out of here, man, and just forget you saw it. And the dude just kind of walked off and left. But the room was looked like a scene from Carrie. I had blood everywhere often because when you hit someone's head open like that, it's a bleeding, it bleeds a lot. And there was there was blood everywhere. There was a lot of blood and that dude was completely covered in it and the walls were covered in it. And that's not something you forget.
It's different. I never saw anything like that in combat. Oh, it's so, it's so close and I'm sure you weren't like mentally prepared for it. If you're doing art, you're probably not in the in fight mindset. It's a little different than prepping to go into into a conflict. Dude, I mean, I'd, I'd keep, I'd keep locks and stuff and socks just waiting because there'd just be some people that you knew were just on edge about certain things.
And if they decided to just choose to come into your room, it could be some new guy that just got to that, to that institution, that new FCI. And he might not know who I am. So he might not know that most of these guys are going to have my back. But he's going to come try me because he sees me as just this white dude. So you've got to be ready. You've got to be prepared all the time because people will take your life quickly.
And if you're not willing to do that, you might as well just call quits, because you ain't going to come home. Are you still pretty edgy right now? Yeah, yeah, man, I don't like going out in public at all right now. Like I used to be like up until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, like very socially active. And I went from being so used to overstimulation of travelling and being around people and speaking all the time and being on camera to solitary confinement.
And then my first time being around people, They're all hopped up on meth and this other deuce drug and they're just crazy, violent people. Yeah, it's it's insane, man. Like my first weekend back here, my guys, the local PBS brought me to the house party and I end up just locking myself to the bedroom and sat in there all night by myself. I couldn't do it, couldn't be around people. It was overwhelming. It was like I, I have a lot of trouble right now with anxiety and being around people.
I can't do it. I go to bed almost every night at 8:00, but I have not slept in almost three weeks because my mind is just racing non-stop. Like I'm so used to being on guard and on alert that now I can't even figure out a way to like really relax and lay down and just shut my mind off. And it's hard. You've got to, you know, it's all compounded with the fact that I didn't get a pardon.
I just got my sentence commuted and as a retired Army veteran, I was making, you know, a certain amount of money every month and I had the full use of the VA and now I don't, I today I tried to go to the VA just to get help because I was, I'm at a breaking point. I need sleep. And I went up there and asked for help and they put in my Social Security number and they said that I have been court martialed for subversion against the United States.
And the guy got locked out of his computer system and I was asked to leave. It was a little bit more harsh than that. And I put the story out about that earlier today on the on X. And luckily someone helped me and reached out a local doctor and she helped me get a prescription for some stuff that I needed to help with sleep. And I hope tonight I'll actually get sleep for the first time.
But I didn't think in a million years that my country would turn on me and then I wouldn't even have access to the VA. You know, I, I fought for my country. I almost died. I have purple hearts. I've taken shrapnel, I've had my knee replaced that metal in my right foot. You know, I've been through it for this country. I did what I'm supposed to do and I didn't back out. I didn't run away like Bowe Bergdahl and start snitching on my unit to the freaking Taliban.
And I, I just, you know, I'm, it's a bittersweet thing because, you know, I'm glad I'm home, but now I feel like a bird and I feel like a burden because, you know, I still have these terrorism charges on me. I can't get a job. I can't go rent a place because no one's going to rent to me.
I can't even take my daughter on a field trip because my criminal record is just so insane looking that if they see that they're just going to be like, Hey, you're not even going to come pick your daughter up. So I'm walking on egg shells, man. And it's just, it's not easy. And I don't know why they haven't given us a pardon.
I don't know why I don't have access to my my VA benefits, but I'm just hoping that somebody will see one of these interviews and someone will have a heart and Trump, Pete Head says. Somebody out there, someone will help me. And not just me, but Zachary Real and some of these other guys that were there with me that day that were veterans who didn't do anything, who didn't hurt anybody, who didn't steal anything, didn't lay a finger on anybody.
We just want a chance to be able to provide for our families and have a normal life. It seems like such a light ask and and the fact that they pulled all the stuff out it, I mean, I can't think of any other word except betrayal. I mean, what else would you call that? Yeah, You know, it is. It really is. I don't know how you can lose benefits to something that I I got because of something I did in my past. Like I fought for my country and they owe me that.
They owe me those benefits because I fought and bled and almost died numerous times. One day, September 26th, 2006, on the Samara Bypass, I was blown up and almost killed. I was pulled out of the vehicle, put into a convoy Green Berets at a place called Brassfield Mora on the Samara Bypass and I was taken to the hospital. On the way to the hospital from that injury, I was blown up again, and then they started shooting at us and trying to overrun us.
I've been through a lot of stuff, man, you know, and, and I just want to be able to get help at a doctor when I need it and I need it. And I wish they would help me. What do you, what kind of information were you getting about the way politics were working when you were inside the, you know, what were you thinking prior to the election as it was running up? Did you have a sense of hope then? Did you think that you know what
I mean? What kind of mental state were you in, let's say in November of last year? I was pretty hopeful all the way up until the point when they started trying to kill him. I'll never forget that day because we had been on lockdown for about a month or so and they finally turned the TV on that day. It was on a Saturday I believe and I think it was like 5 minutes after he had already been shot.
But I'm just now seeing the TV come on and I just see herd of Secret Service moving somebody into the into a vehicle and leaving. And I remember looking at one of the, the, the guy in the cell with me and I go, oh man, there's probably another one of those dumb ass protesters running in there trying to start something or just getting them out of there. And then it goes back and it says attempted assassination. And I go, what?
And I look and I see him standing there and I see him turn his head and then grab a deer and drop down and my knees just buckled. I go, Oh my God, that's it. I'm done. I'm never going to go home because and if he doesn't get in there, no one else is going to let us out. No one else is going to stand up to help us. And I, my heart, everything, my future, everything flashed before my eyes. I just, I was like, I'm never going to see my kid again.
I'm never going to have an opportunity to, to do so much things that I wanted to do. And when he got up and said fight by fight, man, talk about inspiring and, you know, rejuvenating. And I was so ecstatic to see leadership like that. You know, that's what America is. You know, we get hit and we get back up and we don't sit there and run off and cry and we fight for what we believe in. And I was so positive after
that. But then in the way the news cycle is, it was like a month later, they're already talking about him like he was trash again. And I'm like, Oh my God. And they're saying that Kamal is like smart and that she's like a good candidate. I, I couldn't, I couldn't believe it. I go, I go. They've already shown that they're willing to do whatever they can to take this guy out. There's no way. And then the election happens and I go, stay inside, dude, stop freaking talking to people.
Just stay somewhere and hide until you can get into your job. Because I want to go home. So do my buddies. Like you got all these people so dependent upon you just getting there alive. And I remember being on the phone and my mom said, Hey, they just tried to kill him again. And I just put at the golf course that I go to all the
time. And I go, you, you just can't believe it. And then you start hearing the stuff about Butler and you start hearing the fact that everybody saw this dude walking around with a range Finder. And you know that that there was just no communication between Secret Service and the local police. And it was just these different egos playing and, you know, you had these new Secret Service agents in there that watched a video on how to do a presidential protection detail.
Like, what in the hell is going on? So my, my faith in any type of system within the government has been shattered. I just, I, I, I don't know. It's hard for me to believe anything now because I had so much bad happen to me for so long that it's hard for me to believe that anything good could ever happen. And, you know, I just, I got to a point that I didn't think that
I was ever going to get home. Even after he won the election, I still just didn't believe it. I remember the night he won, everybody was coming up to me and going pat me on the back, man, that's it. And I go, that's not it, man. I said they're, they're, they're, they're already trying to kill him. I said, you know, and that Iran's got a hit on. It's like, there's no way.
There's no freaking way because he is surrounded by morons, people who are part of the resistance and care more about, you know, Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and you know, all this other crap and not enough about saving this country. I just didn't have any faith anymore. And it just it, it was hard. It was a struggle. And even on the 20th, on Inauguration Day, on Inauguration Day, the captain of the compound that I was at in Talladega FCI in Alabama, I get called AT2O clock in the
afternoon. And the captain, this black guy, he goes, I need an address that you could go home to if you were to go home. Apparently your boy won and thinks he has enough power to get you out. He goes, you're not going to leave. I just want you to know, but if you were to go, where would you go? And I give him an address where I'm going. And he goes, I hope you never get out. He goes, I hope you stay in jail and you rot there for the rest of your life.
He goes, I hate you. And then he just turned around and left and I'm just sitting there shocked. And then he comes back and he goes, why are you still here? Take your white supremacist ass back to your cell, lock the door. You're not leaving. Goodbye. And 8:30 at night, one of the CE OS comes up to me and goes, the administration just called. They called. The warden said you've got to leave right now, get your stuff together. Like I you just don't, I mean, I just, you know, earlier, I'm
just being told screw you. I hope you're staying here forever. And then all of a sudden they're rushing to Get Me Out. And then I'm, I'm like, man, still something stupid is going to happen. I know it. There's something's going to get screwed up. And sure enough, as soon as I get into the office for that's called R&D releasing departure. I'm filling all this paperwork and that same cop comes back and goes, He goes, he goes, guess what? You're not getting a pardon, dude.
And he goes, you're just getting your sentence community. He's like, good luck out there. And just, like, laughs and turns away and leaves. Yeah. That's crazy. Everything about that is crazy. And then what? That, where, where did you go? You you're released at 8:00 at night. No, I, it, it took until 11:30 or 12 around midnight because I
didn't get a pardon. So because of that, the federal judges, Judge Ahmed Maeda and Kelly and all them still part of the resistance decided to put us on restrictions like, like we had to do probation. They didn't really care that the commutation meant that everything was over, which is your sentence. You've served your time, which
means there's no probation. So we had to sit there and wait on this process to play out where they, at the middle of the night, contact the probation offices across the country for the 14 or 15 of us that didn't get pardoned. And that was a nightmare to sit here and go back and forth and
wait on the stupid paperwork. And then I finally get contacted by the probation officer down in Florida and she's saying, you didn't get a pardon and you're on probation and ha ha, ha, ha ha, and all just laughing and having a good time. And she goes, you're not going to get a pardon. You're never going to get a pardon. And she's like, you're going to be stuck on this stuff for years and years and years and we're always going to have control over you. And ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
And then finally, two weeks later, about a week and a half ago, she calls me and goes, well, I'm sorry. I hope there's no hard feelings. Good luck out there. And they released me because I should have never been on probation in the 1st place. But they were threatening that if we were to do anything or, you know, break any of these rules, that they wouldn't tell us what they were. They would throw us back in jail.
So I was a nervous wreck. And it's just like, it's so hard to believe anything is going to happen because all this dumb crap keeps happening. That's just frustrating. And that was only, what, a couple weeks ago? Two weeks ago. Yeah. So what have you been doing for the last two weeks? What you know as you're, you're free, the incremental freedom, but you're, you're free. What are you spending your time
doing? Well, I tried to go get a house as soon as I wrote the person on the 21st century, you know, real estate thing you put in your name. I got hit back up around 9:00 that night and the lady, the real estate agency goes, are you Joe Biggs, the insurrectionist? F you, you're not going to get a place. So I go, OK, well, that's how this is going to go now. Great. So then after that I just kind of said, you know what, I'm just going to have to wait a little
while to see what happens. And that's kind of where I'm at right now. Like I can't do anything. I'm here, but that's it. I feel like a bird and it sucks because I could be out there doing stuff and I could be providing and I could be speaking to people and travelling around and I'm still considered a terrorist. And I will be flying to DC next week to C pack. But stay tuned because I don't know what that's going to be like to be to, to try to fly while you still have all this on
your record. I hear it's not a very fun process. And you've got to you go into the counter, you check in, they come and swarm you with federal
agents. They take you into the back and interrogate you, strip you down, search you, escort you through TSA, strip you down, search you, escort you to the door of the plane, search you, escort you onto the plane, search you, you fly, you land, you're brought off the plane at the door, search, brought into a backroom and search, brought up to the front and searched and then allowed to leave.
Yeah. So you've been hearing people who are on the quiet skies, the the Quad S list and some of the experiences they've had and that's what you're looking at. Yeah, but we live to fight another day. Indeed, I've got some people I want to introduce you to, especially people in Florida who might be able to help mitigate some of that stuff because we've got some contacts for that.
I mean, this is stuff that's been going on while you're on the other end of it. This is the war that people have been dealing with on the outside. Much, much less involved than being in prison, obviously. But this, this harassment is wild. Is there is there any contact with folks that are in who who handles this? Just the White House?
I mean, really, that's it. I mean, you know, it's, you know, I like I said, I hate to seem like, you know, this negative Nancy and everybody keeps saying hold the faith, but, you know, I don't know what I mean. What have I been doing for the last four years? You know, I hear them come out and go, well, we might be thinking about giving Rod Blagojevich a pardon. And then the next day, he's pardoned. He's free now to run for mayor again.
And I'm sitting here going like, if the process is that easy, why am I still sitting here as a veteran who fought from my country and watch my friends die in front of me and almost died? Why can't I just have have a snap of a finger and have my stuff wiped because I didn't do anything. All you had to do was be there at the trial. I wish we could go back and televise that. And that's the reason they don't like to to film and allow cameras into the federal trials because it is so corrupt.
If people could have seen, if the world could have seen the Proud Boys trial, they would have had 0 faith in our institution whatsoever because it was such a joke. It was such a joke and such a waste of money and so ridiculous. I just hope, yeah. Where are the FBI agents? Where were they from that that were testifying against you? One of them was a local 1 here, another was a local 1 from where Dominic lived, the other one from where Enrique lived, another one from where Zach
lived. And the really the only thing they brought into the to to the to the fray was like, oh, they had a the Proud boys flag or a T-shirt. And it's like, Oh my God, they're so scary. We had to listen to them constantly say that five police officers were killed that day, which is just false. And even, you know, what's kind of surprising is even Wikipedia updated and says like 5 protesters were killed that day, but no cops were killed that day. And they finally switched it on there.
But you couldn't be honest about it during the trial when our lives are on the line. That didn't matter. No, because you have a narrative, you know, So it's, it's a process and I want to get my hope back and I want to have faith in my country. But right now it's shot. That's just being honest. I don't blame you. I don't blame you at all. But I'm seeing, I'm seeing people, I'm seeing people get pardoned left and right right now and they're saying, well, it's going to be a process with
you, man. I'm like, really? Because these other people I'm watching on TV, every day is a new pardon of somebody coming out. And they the day before was like, well, we don't know if we're going to do this. And then the next day it's like they're on on freaking news everywhere, hugging their family, getting back to life. And here I'm still sitting here twiddling my thumb's going hello, did you guys forget about us? I don't get it. Like why, why, why are we being treated differently all?
Right, we're going to take a quick break. Say thanks to the folks at Patriot Mobile who keep this program on the air, particularly on this Sunday.

We're going to get right back into this conversation with you. Yeah. Why? I'm, I'm, I'm also trying to work through it. Is there is there a logic or I mean, there's got to be attorneys that are talking to you about what they think is happening. Do is there what's what's the speculation? No, I have no idea. It doesn't make any sense to them. The lawyers are completely dumbfounded by this.
They have no there's no what jet of the reason because there were people who are actually violent and actually maybe stole or property destruction that day. Free and clear charge his wife like it never happened. Expunged. They can go out and do whatever they want. They can go to the gun range tomorrow and go buy guns.
I can't do anything and all I did was walk into an open door with two hot Italian chicks, go take a piss and leave and I'm somehow scary Batman. If they can, if if Trump strokes out a pardon, you get the paper is does that give you opportunity to reapply and get your your VA benefits? What is the do you have any idea what that looks like? Under what? Under what? How? How do they even pull that away? I guess I I've, I've heard this happen.
I don't know why and I don't understand how, so maybe you can tell me. So the only way for me to get back my benefits as someone who was charged with seditious conspiracy is to have a full, full, no strings attached, full forgiveness presidential pardon. That is the only way. And the way that it is set up right now is if we get the pardon and then it can go to people like Ed Martin and those in DC and then get our records expunged.
But we have to have that pardon. I don't know why that's a thing. But in order for me to get my life back, I've got to get that. And, you know, I am very bitter. And I'm just, it just sucks because, you know, everybody in my family is just like, how can they take something from you that you already fought and almost died for? You know, you're dealing with enough stuff from that already as it is. I had enough to write a book about before January 6th.
I mean, come on now. And I, I, I don't care about that. I just want my life back. I want to be able to go to the VA and seek help and be able to sleep at night and just enjoy being home with my family. And I cannot do that right now. I imagine not have there been any offers to tell your story, write a book, this sort of thing you just is that is that been approached have have. Anybody I've had, I've had a few film makers that I personally know just kind of say they're interested.
I've had one publication, I don't remember the name of it because I wasn't expecting the call. So it just kind of came out of nowhere that they were interested in possibly doing a book with the five of us and then a joint one as well. But I haven't heard anything back from them. Right now, I'm kind of just getting ready for the DC and hoping that I can get through that without, you know, them trying to throw me in jail again. I should be able to travel
around the country. You know, I fought for this nation. I should be able to be welcomed in DC or Portland OR Boston or Tampa Bay or, you know, wherever Butte, Mt. It shouldn't matter. I should be able to go there and hang out and have the same freedoms as anyone else. And that's just all I want. So are you going to, are you speaking at CPAC or were you
invited to do anything there? I think the only way they'll let us do it is it's like one of those like really weird fringe side, you know, rooms where they have like the smallest room possible. But you know, one thing that Enrique and I have is the ability to get the attention of the media in a really fantastic way. So I think I have some ideas. We'll see what happens.
Yeah, indeed. And would you, do you think that being as public as possible and keeping your name out there as as frequently as possible is, is really your only path to to, you know, stimulate this, this positive outcome? Yeah, it is. I mean, I'm afraid that if I if I am not like I, I've tried to reach out to everybody on every network you can imagine of Newsmax, America's Voice. I have not gotten a response from anybody before this.
These people are constantly beating down my door, want me to come on and talk about stuff. Because I would come on as like a war correspondent. I would come on and talk about the border. But then this thing happened and it's like the same people who say that they support us won't even take my calls or answer my emails.
So, you know, I, I, I want to be in front of the camera as much as I can, talking about Prison Reform, talking about what it's like to go through this experience as much as I can. Because I feel like if I, if I don't have that opportunity, I will be forgotten. That Zachary Real will be forgotten, that Dominic Pizzola will be forgotten, that Ethan Nordine and many others, you know, Stewart Rhodes, that will be just left in the dust to rot and be burdens.
And I know it sounds all Billy Hilly, but that's really what it is. You know, like my family needs me to be able to be the provider that I am. I am a single father and I have a mother and a 7 year old daughter. That's it, that's my family, that's my circle, that's all I got and I need to be there for him. So I'm hoping this will help me. I'm hoping that someone will see this and they will go. That sucks. That's crazy. That shouldn't be happening. This is horrendous.
This is an atrocity. Let's help these guys. So please help us. Who is your your elected representative? Who's your congressman and where you're living right now? Well, it was Michael Waltz and now he is kind of busy with a new job. We both have a very mutual friend. I've been to his book signings before, but he is no longer the congressman here. There's someone else. And I have been gone for so long, I don't really know the insurance and outs of Florida politics outside of Ron DeSantis
being the governor. So I've got to do some delving into that and figure out who I have here in Volusia County and who I can reach out to to talk to. Yeah, is there, is there an angle that like a like a, a strategy, some sort of legal strategy as somebody was speculating that maybe keeping some of the, you know, a handful of you all commutation instead of pardons was because they wanted to do something to change, you know, the way that that, that the system work there.
But I, I, I can't figure out what the hell that is and why people keep speculating. You know, people said the same thing to Stewart Rhodes and and he doesn't seem to have an answer. Nobody's explained that to you that there may be some angle. No, I have no idea. Like I said, I just don't have faith right now. I hope that these people pull through and they do what they said they were going to do, that they were going to pardon us and give us our military benefits back.
And I'm just waiting around for that. I, I really, I, I've talked to lawyers. No one can really get a an idea as to why we've been singled out for all this, and I just don't really have an answer for that. It's just that we're stuck in this limbo and we're hoping that maybe someone will see this and go, OK, this is horrible, let's help them. But it hasn't happened yet.
So I'm hoping someone will see this interview or Stewart's and they will take a look and finally do the right thing for us because we definitely deserve it. Yeah, I'm flabbergasted. I mean, I'm, I don't have a lot of questions or difficulty forming questions, but I'm, I'm sitting here in my brain and I'm listening to your story and I'm hearing the, the, you know, the fact pattern is absurd. The things that happened are crazy. They've been crazy. We've had five years of crazy.
And the other thing is, and I don't know if you're even aware of this, but there were people that were talking in the political circles. They, they didn't want to come talk to me because I hurt people's feelings. They didn't want to come talk to you guys because January 6th was a losing issue. And that's what we were told that politically was a losing issue. So they didn't want to bring up these things. But all that stuff's in the past.
Now at this point, the, the, the issue is irrelevant. And it's not like you're going to be able to stop the electivity. You know, the, the future election of Donald Trump, it's this is it. He's got one shot. He can do anything he wants. Yeah, exactly. That's what I don't understand. We just watched Joe Biden's pardon his entire family preemptively without ever being charged for anything.
So what kind of political capital would you be spending to take a couple of military veterans and give back their benefits and say, hey, you can go out there and own firearms And you, you didn't get accused of anything violent. And there was absolute bullshit that happened in Washington, DC, which is why they're considering, I mean, how do you react to people saying that they're, they're thinking about prosecuting, you know, assistant United States attorneys going
after, you know, FBI agents? What? How does that sit with you? I, I mean, I, I just right now I'm just focused on me and my family. I'm going to be honest, I'm being selfish. And I mean, it's not being selfish because you know, I've been told he, he, this is what he goes, he goes, we're going to get him. He goes, the Proud boys didn't do anything wrong. He goes, they should be full pardon. And we're going to do it for him
day one. And I'm waiting and I'm happy that I'm out, but it's such a double edged sword that we are out and there's nothing we can do. We can't get a place, we can't get a job, we can't provide for our family. I can't even go get seen at the doctor. I can't do anything. I walk around everywhere and everyone knows who I am.
And you love me or hate me, but that still doesn't put food on the table, that still doesn't put insurance on my vehicles, that still doesn't help me get a home for my daughter. That doesn't help me do anything until I get that pardon that everybody else seems to be getting that over the last few days. You know, everybody's coming out of the woodwork getting a part and asking for one, getting one, but for some reason we can't. So yeah, that's all.
I don't. I, yeah, I don't want to belabor the question because I, it, it just seems like it's such a simple solution and and I, I really empathize with this, this problem. I, I don't it, it feels like some things just got left behind and and. Like you said, few people. Like you said, this isn't going to affect his career. I could understand, you know, it can't cost it. Can't cost anybody anything at
this point. We're just, we're dismantling all this corruption in the government and but we're worried about, Oh my God, Joe Biggs just got a full part no, OK. It won't even make it through. It won't even make it through 12 hours of the news cycle. I can tell you right now, having watched it for the last couple years, it it'll it'll be a blip
on the radar. I just watched Tulsi, Tulsi Gabbard, who was apparently, you know, a huge problem and she was confirmed and it didn't even get reported for the first couple hours because people already you're dealing with other stuff. You know, they're just they're talking about hairy balls and big balls. And we're just in such a goofy, it's just a goofy moment, which by the way, that that's very
funny. Like there's nothing more American than that than trolling the media with with balls jokes. That makes me happy. But. There's an awful lot of injustice that just has not been corrected still. And it Yeah, I'm, I'm with you. I don't, I don't want to see it fall. You know, I I have this long memory on it. While we're thinking about the injustice piece of it, let me ask you, if you can, if you don't mind being specific, who are the biggest villains in your saga?
The people that have really done some things that were wrong that that acted in in bad faith. And, and if you can kind of highlight any of them, I'd be really interested to know whether it was media that was calling it ugly or whether they're people that were in the, the legal system. Just I'd love to know what they're, what they're about, and
who they are. Well, I would say first and foremost, I think it all comes down to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. I think they were the ringleaders behind a lot of this. Mayor Muriel Bowser, You know, both these people denied National Guard going that day. Trump asked for all that. It's like they wanted something to happen. They had these fake bombs set up at the RNC and DC, but they didn't need it because they had so many undercovers.
There were like 50 undercover federal agents just with an hour group and they were all live texting. The FBI going Proud Boys didn't start it. Proud Boys didn't knock it on the fence. Proud Boys didn't do it. And then those guys aren't allowed to come to trial. So, you know, you've got the the higher ups in the FBI that have completely just crapped all over the Constitution and all over our rights.
You have people like Jason McCullough, you have people like our judge that just sat there and cooked out to the Democrats and everything they wanted and played right along with it knowing that everything was a lie. To me, that's the the scariest thing is that these federal
judges should be fired. They should be removed and these types of people should not be allowed to sit on benches like that and and hold people's lives in their hands because what they did is disgusting and it is more UN American than anything happened on January 6th. Yeah, it does seem like there's A at least a sense that people are getting these guys are really a problem, that there's a serious problem in the judiciary that the inferior judges are, they're overstepping and they
are, they're not acting honest. I mean, I don't know anybody who covered any of the J6 stuff. And I talked to Steve Baker pretty extensively and he went to a number of trials and he's working for the Blaze right now, was charged himself. And at the same time, he's like these people, they're, they're partisan. They're, they're weighing in on it. There's no blind justice in that
case. And they're just revealing the, the truth to people, which, like I said, it's making conservative people who generally support law enforcement, who generally are, you know, are pro judiciary and think that if you're there, you probably deserve it. And a lot of people are starting to open their mind up and go, holy crap, how biased is this? How? How unfair is this system? The worst, the even the scarier part is I've never owed more than 1000 or so in in taxes ever.
As soon as I left, the IRS started charging my mother $17,000 a year. They were extorting her saying that I owed that much money. The VA is claiming that we owed thousands and thousands of dollars. And my mom was scared, didn't know what to do and was paying all this stuff off. And I've never owed this kind of money before in my life to these people. And all the sudden they're coming after her.
And, you know, it's put her through a lot of stuff and you know, it, it's, it's just, it's sick and disgusting. And I hope that we can get this rectified and move on and continue to dismantle the corruption and help bring this country back to the greatness it deserves to be. Your mom and your and your daughter are the two people in your circle, you said right now, how's your daughter handling all
this? If I walk out of the house to go to the store, she freaks out and thinks that I'm never going to come back again. She has massive PTSD from that. She thinks that anytime I leave now that I might not ever come back in that door again for a long long time and she clams up and gets super anxious and has anxiety now because of that.
For the first two years that I was gone, I found out that she would not sleep unless there was a frame photo of me in the bed with her and she would hold it and that was just her only way to have a father. So I'm really pissed off about that. I am also pissed off about that now is an has she been talking to anybody? Has she been seeing anybody to to try to help get through this or you guys are just pushing in with?
We're just, you know, I, I sit there with her and look at her and decide to just get her to understand that, you know, I'm not going anywhere and that I just need to go to the store and, you know, it's baby steps. It's not easy. You know, it's been a struggle because she just, she's had her trust, you know her, I don't even know how to explain it. Like just that that safety net of having a dad was stripped
from her for so long. And now that I'm back, she for the first time in school has a dad, you know, and you know, it's just this whole new process we have to go through. I have to, you know, I left her at 3 and she's about to turn 8. So it's been, it's been a long time. So it is a process and we will get through it, but you know, damn these people for putting my little girl through that and I hope that this is something that she will be able to push through later. I do as well.
That's that's my oldest sage. She's the same. I've got three daughters and you know, my oldest is, so I can just picture that. I know exactly what those stages are. I also know what you missed. Yeah, I mean. Just brutal. Everybody goes, oh, my God, the Proud Boy cried like, yeah, when I was sentenced, had nothing to do with the fact that, oh, my God, I'm going to prison. It's like my little girl is not going to have a dad to take her to school.
And if I'm gone for 17 years, in that moment I thought most positive thing in my life is gone now. I'm not going to see her go to prom. I'm not going to see her do a lot of stuff. And that really, really, really hurt me inside. I mean, I can, you can throw me in a hole for another two years. I'd rather experience that than ever have to. To just have that feeling of, you know what I felt that day, knowing that I might not ever see her again. That's not easy. It's not not something that's
fun to think about. So. It's horrible, man. Yeah. It's just awful. What can people, what can people add to this? Because I think a lot of people are going to have the same sense of injustice. They're going to want to be able to do something. I don't know that a lot of us know what that thing is. Should we should, does there need to be a letter writing campaign? You know, obviously there there's certain contacts that I'm going to try to contact.
Whether they care what Kyle Seraphin has to say or not, I have no idea. But I'm willing to, I'm willing to make the calls. But I'm wondering if, if just if there's a groundswell people that some of these injustices have to be fixed. For this country to heal in any way. That's what the left does. That's one thing that's always interesting. When the left gets behind something, they all total line and they get behind it and they all fight for it and it happens
on the right. We bicker and we in fight and we point fingers and blame and I disagree with you and I disagree with this. We need to pull our heads out of our asses and we need to get behind the people that need to get their lives back together. So, yeah, I think people should be writing letters in masks. They should be calling in masks. I want politicians ears ringing with our names. I want them to be so sick of it. They go President Trump, just pardon them so we can move on. That's it.
Just anything people can do to help us, you know, I mean, I, I, I hate asking people for donations, but I have a website, freejoebiggs.com and you can donate if you fill it in your heart that you want to do that. You know, I'm, I've always been someone that likes to do things on my own, but I don't have the ability. And if you can do it, that's great. If not, I understand, you know, if you want to pray, that's fine as well. But we need, we need people to hear this.
So we need people to care. And I want people to have a heart, if not for me, for, you know, little Savannah. So that's all I got. I think that's fair. I think it's, I think it's a perfectly reasonable position to be in, to have a lot of a lot of doubt right now. And I don't blame you. The other thing is I'm, I'm just thinking of, you know, I've talked to other folks and you guys are in such a unique situation having been let out so
abruptly. Most people transition to some kind of a halfway house situation. They have like a, you know, work release or whatever it is. There's some kind of program that it kind of, and, and anybody you talk to that's gone, gone through those tells you like they go through all kinds of stages of, of, of paranoia and anxiety and they don't know how to, to adapt. And and that's part of the reason why that stuff is is useful and they slowly integrate themselves back in because four
years is a long time. Yeah, we don't get. That, you know, you, you, you come out of the military and, and, and you're not normal because you've been, you know, associated with something else and you got to have an adaptation there. And even then you were at least you were free. You know you may have. This, this feels, this feels way harder. You know, after, after years of combat, you come back and it's like, all right, you know, I went and fought a war.
Obviously, you know, I'm not now, but I've been in a different war for the last four years. I'm a physical war, psychological war. The psychological torture I've been put through in the last four years is like just it would blow your mind, you know, And it's like you said, we're not getting that help that everyone else gets when they come out of that situation. We're just thrown out here with a muzzle, our hands tied, our feet tied, and we're told good luck.
You know, it, it just kind of like a slap in the face. It's like, well, you should be happy you're home. You should be happy with your daughter. Well, yeah, I am happy, but it's still not having my life. I still feel like a prisoner. I still feel like I'm unable to just shed what everyone else is. Everyone else that got that pardon can just celebrate and let loose and clear their mind. And I still have to live in this prison mentality right now because I don't have the freedom.
It's a fake freedom. Yeah, it's still following you, You. Know I just want to let it all go. I was so happy that day on the 20th when he was inaugurated that I thought I could finally just let all this go, this burden, this everything off of my shoulders and finally just relax and be happy and, and it's a slap in the face. It's another betrayal, so. I'm I don't think your story's over. I think this has been a really interesting redemption arc for a
lot of this stuff. I think that if you'd asked me six months ago if we were going to be sitting here, I would have said, no. I'm, I'm a pessimist. And I've had, I have not had a lot of faith that any of these things were going to come to pass. I didn't even think we were going to have an election. So between two of us and everybody listens to my audience has heard me say it. I thought they were more shenanigans afoot. And we are about to get deeper
and darker. I still think it's going to get weird for another 6 to 18 months in this country. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be a free man if you're really a free man. And so I will you got you got me and probably everybody who's listening to this in your corner. I think that nobody can hear
your story and think otherwise. And the saddest thing is, is that like you say, they let out people who legitimately probably deserved a little bit of time in prison fighting cops, hitting cops, getting into, you know, altercations that were physical and violence against folks that we generally don't think should be, you know, if you're a federal officer doing your job, you shouldn't be you shouldn't be punched in the in the line of duty. And at the same time, you guys
didn't have that accusation. And and I saw the same thing. And I just, like I said, I just talked to Stewart Rode and, you know, no violence alleged there either. And it's just the the craziest moment to look at a justice system that decided to go after a bunch of guys. And then for those that be the people who've been held out and said, you're not going to get the pardon. Meanwhile, people who took swings, you know, stole things, broke stuff. Think about this, think about
this. The in prison there's a point system, right? So depending upon your points depends upon the, the chain of custody you're in. So that'd be a a camp, a low, a medium, a penitentiary from zero points to 15 points is a camp. I had 9 points and I was at a medium high. You know, I'm there with straight up murderers and killers and terrorists and serial killers and child rapist and rapist and Super Bowl winners who are rapists and all this stuff and Lockerbie
bombers. And it's like you go every six months for like this report card, this update and it goes violence extremely low. They see me as a extremely low threat across the board. I shouldn't even be there. You know, if something would have happened to me, I should be able to sue the hell out of those people because I should have never even been around those people.
I should have been at some Pensacola camp in Florida just chilling around waiting to be able to talk to my family whenever I want to and FaceTime them like they do on these tablets. But I ain't getting none of that. I was constantly in the hole. I was constantly getting screwed with. I was constantly being psychologically tortured by the police. And they're saying that, hey, you know, screw you. We we're going to get you a
child porn. We're going to say that we found hard drives in your cell, that you were holding this kind of stuff just to screw with you. They did that to me this past Thanksgiving. I lost my mind. I go, what, I could never do something like that. And they come up to me on Thanksgiving and going, we're going to get you with this and laughing and joking and say, everybody, all the cops are saying that this kind of stuff's going on, man, what's going on with you, blah, blah, blah,
blah. And just, and then I go to the higher ups and I go, how, how can this be a thing? Like, how can you guys just falsely accuse people of stuff like this? And they're like, oh man, they're just screwing with you. And I go like, that's not screwing with somebody, especially when they've been through what they've been through. Like that's just so messed up. So, so ridiculous. Yeah, it's really dark. Yeah. Well, you've gotten advocated this program.
You're always have an open door to come back and talk with me and and talk to the audience here. And, you know, we're not the biggest show in the world, but we've got some pretty dedicated people that have a lot of big hearts. And I think you think we're going to start writing some letters. I think that's the thing, Pen to paper, we need to make this thing move. This has got to stop. And again, this it doesn't cost him anything.
So like to see people, folks, if you're listening to this and you have it in your heart, you need to write to your reps, especially if they're Republicans and you need to be right until Donald Trump. You can write to the White House. You'll be, you'll find this kind of amusing. I found letters, Joe, when I was working for the Bureau that had been written to the White House under George Bush and they were in files at the FBI had forever and they had nothing to do with anything.
They just had somebody's name in it. And it was a person that I might have been investigating. So I went looking for it and I found out that the White House would get letters and they would log them and they, you know, somebody writes a letter, it goes somewhere. So it has to be no emails, no bullshit Change.org nonsense, like legit piece of paper, stamp envelope, send these things off. Let's move the needle on this. This. I don't think your story's over though, my friend.
I don't think it's over yet. And I hope not the pain. It's not for selfish reasons either. Like I said, I met a lot of good guys in there who have been there since the 80s and 90s in prison for crimes they did not commit. And I need my rights back. I need my life back so I can fight for these men because they've been waiting. I only had to go through this for four years. These guys have been going through this for 30 something years.
And that really hurts too because I made them promises. I thought that I was going to get a pardon. I thought I was going to be able to go out and and hit the circuit and start traveling and speaking and fighting for these men and their families. And their families are begging me everyday, come on, are you going to help us? And I have that stress too. So please write, please get the
help we need. Please do whatever you can to reach the president, to reach, you know, the Secretary of Defense, any of these individuals, the, the new head of the VA, we need our lives back because I personally want to help these guys get home. And that's my, that's my new goal. Yeah, what's the what's the new social media? Now that you're back on, tell what it is so we can start building that following again. Let people have a chance to hear you.
Yeah, so on X it's at real Joe Biggs and that's just kind of like my main thing. The other stuff I just keep for just, you know, like friends and family. But as far as like, you know what I do out here, activism, you know, journalism, things like that. That's why I stick to to X. So you can find me there, follow me there and then go to freejoebiggs.com. You can get kind of a more in depth story on my personal story and then also you can share it and help me and my family in any
way that you see fit. And we thank you for that. We appreciate the opportunity to come in here and speak and to tell my side of what's going on and to speak about everything that I've been through and thank you for this opportunity. Yeah, it's my pleasure. The link will be in the show description below, folks. So it's in the notes and you guys will find it right down there. And we'll tag the the social media handle as well. Biggs, Biggs, real Joe Biggs. All right, bud, thanks for
joining me today. I appreciate the. I appreciate the time. Yeah, of course. Thank you. Let's. We're going to connect again when this thing is better because I think it is going to get better. All right, man, I thank you. You bet. And that is our Sunday. Sit down with Joe Biggs, say a prayer for Joe today. Everybody needs a little bit of
help. And I think that you can tell there's a lot of pain right there and there's some solutions that are well within the grasp of our political elite. So I hope that people like Donald Trump hear that plea and from your from your hearts to God, from God down to inspire the man leading this country would cost him very little. And I'd like to see it happen. And one father just looking out for another father out there in the world. Thanks for joining us. I really do appreciate you guys
